Well enjoy!

September 1st

Lily stepped through the barrier and onto platform 9 ¾. She stood there glancing around for Marlee and Paige, her other 7th year Gryffindors.

"Looking for me?" Someone had placed a hand on her shoulder.

Turning around she saw James, his Head Boy badge pinned on his robe. All of a sudden he looked kind of scared and quickly drew his hand away.

"Not really but I guess I had to find you sooner or later." Lily replied. James was taken aback. She sounded almost sad and there was not a hind of hatred or sarcasm. Inside Lily screamed. She was not at all prepared to see him again and while she would have usually reprimanded him for touching her, this time she had been sad to see him let go.

"Well- er- lets find our compartment." James quickly tuned away and she began to follow him onto the Hogwarts express. 'Does he know who I am?' she wondered. She had at first thought that all the while James had known that he was talking to Lily, and that he was just using it in a way to become something he wasn't so she would like him. Letter after letter came for her after the thirteenth and it truly sounded like he had no idea. She was so confused inside and had no idea what to do. She hadn't replied but she had read and reread every letter.

Dear Sunshine,

I don't know what to say, you have yet to write me back, although I have written you everyday. I don't know who you are, but perhaps if I did I would know why it is when you know who I am that you stopped speaking to me. Please write back soon.

The want of you is like no other thing;

It smites my soul with sudden sickening;

It binds my being with a wreath of rue-

This want of you.

It flashes on me with the waking sun;

It creeps upon me when the day is done;

It hammers at my heart the long night through-

This want of you.

It sighs within me with the misting skies;

Oh, all the day within my heart it cries,

Old as your absence, yet each morning new-

This want of you.

Mad with demand and aching with despair,

It leaps within my heart and you are- where?

God has forgotten, or He never knew,

This want of you.

Love always,

James

She continued to follow him to the front compartment. It was like any other, but reserved for the Head Boy and Girl. He sat down and she sat across from him. Neither said a word, but took out the books they had received in the mail. The books were black, with the Hogwarts crest. The front pages named every Head Girl and Boy of every year since the founding of Hogwarts, all the rules of the school followed, this is the part they were supposed to discuss. Each felt awkward, and James, being the Head 'Boy' decided he should start. When he opened his mouth to begin reading the door slammed open. Of course it was Sirius.

"Hey, you done? I need James now."

Lily stood up. "For how long?"

"Like-umm- seven hours."

She glared at the two of them. "We have things to discuss, come back tomorrow." She pushed him out of the compartment. 'I'm being stupid' she thought, and decided to take matters into her own hands. "Alright lets start with prefects, when do you want to have the meetings? I was thinking Thursday nights."

"I was planning to have Quidditch practice on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays? How about Mondays?"

"Charms club Mondays. Wednesdays?"

"Sounds good."

For the next couple hours they took turns reading and discussing rules and the consequences should someone break them. Of course James, being the troublemaker he was, thought every consequence she thought of too harsh and so it seemed the students would get away with a lot from them this year.

"What's wrong with sneaking out at night? If they aren't doing anything that would hurt anyone..."

"Because James! Its against the rules!" James smiled. "What?" she said confused.

"You called me James."

"So?"

"Heh, never mind."

When the food came, James bought the two of them candy and sweets. They both took a break and talked about their summers. She hoped she wouldn't give anything away.

"So enough about me, what did you do all summer?" he asked.

"You know, the usual. Essay from McAllister and I read a few new books." It was true she had.

"You're such a dork," he said playfully.

"Am not!"

"Are too."

"Ugh, at least I care about how I am doing in school."

"I care about it too, I am Head Boy you know."

"Really? I had no idea!" She said sarcastically and playfully, smiling the whole time. James was in his delight. Why was she being so nice today? They had barely argued and she had yet to insult him, well more than once, which he had too. It was only another twenty minutes when they were done with the book and had went off to find their friends, who were all in the same compartment.

"Whoa Prongs, you came back alive!" he turned to Lily "Thanks for sparing him, don't know what I'd do without my best friend." He had acted all dramatic like he had really expected Lily to kill him. She played along and shook her head. "It was difficult, insufferable git if you ask me."

"Hey I was good!" James retorted.

"What do you want a cookie?" She asked laughing.

"Naw I'm full, but thanks." He smiled.

Marlee smiled also and whispered into Lily's ear, "you two seem to be getting along."

"Surprisingly yes" she whispered back with a smile playing on her lips. James and her had gotten along fantastic. He was perfectly charming the whole time, and didn't fail to keep her laughing. It would seem going over rules would be boring, but he made it fun, and interesting.

"Well now that we are all here, lets of some fun as the 7th year Gryffindors." A mischievous smile played on his lips, making him look years younger.

"What do you have in mind?" Lily asked, a little nervous.

"How about a game of truth and dare to start he year off? Lils you first, truth or dare?"

Lily had decided to have fun this year. Giving Sirius a challenging look, "Dare."

"Convince at least the rest of Gryffindor house that you and Prongs are dating."

She should have known, James was glaring at Sirius and looked at Lily. "No its okay you don't have to." James said to Lily.

"No, dare accepted." She stared at Sirius challengingly (a/n: is that a word?), got up and sat next to James.

"Oh well as long as he will play along," she motioned to him.

"I will," James agreed putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Okay, Marlee truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to come on to Snape, make him really think you like him." Everyone began laughing.

"Fine dare accepted."

"Remus, truth or dare..."
