Back At Hogwarts
Everyone woke up early the next morning because today was September first. By the time everyone was ready to go it was ten o'clock. Emma's mom drove them to King's Cross station and after they all thanked her for letting them stay, they got on platform nine and three-quarters.
They found an empty compartment near the back of the train and got ready for the departure. Lily was sitting next to James with her head resting on his shoulder, while Remus, Sirius, Emma, and Katie played Exploding Snap.
After a while Lily got up and said, "I have to go meet with the perfects so we can work out whose patrolling the train."
"I'll go with you," James said.
"Sorry you can't," Lily replied, "it's for the Head Boy and Girl and perfects only."
"Didn't I tell you?" James asked.
"Tell me what?"
"I'm Head Boy," James answered proudly.
"Well come on then!" Lily exclaimed, as she dragged him to the front compartment.
"They make such a cute couple," Katie said.
"They sure do," agreed Emma.
A while later Lily and James returned along with Peter.
"Hey guys," Peter said.
"Hey," everyone said dully.
"So why aren't you two love birds snog.......I mean patrolling the train?" Sirius asked.
"For some reason two fifth years said they would patrol the whole way there," Lily answered.
"Probably snogging," Sirius said trying not to laugh.
"So how was Paris Peter?" Emma asked.
"They had good cheese," Peter said.
When they had reached the Hogsmeade station everyone got off the train and were greeted by the beautiful silhouette of the castle. No matter how many times they saw it they were always amazed. They then headed towards an empty carriage. Sirius, Remus, Peter, James, Emma, Lily, Katie, and a girl named Alice were all in the same carriage. Alice was talking to the three girls about her boyfriend/fiancée Frank. She was telling them the romantic way he had popped the question. Meanwhile the Marauder's were planning their annual welcome back prank on the Slytherins.
Everybody was waiting patiently for the sorting to be over. Lily could hear Sirius's stomach growling and he was on the other side of the table! Just them the sorting was finished when Zeger, Jeremy became a Ravenclaw. Mounds and mounds of food appeared on the tables and they all dug in.
After the feast the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome," he said, "to another year. Let me just remind you that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students. Now I bid you all a goodnight."
As the seven of them left the Great Hall they were stopped by Professor McGonagall.
"Whatever it is I didn't do it!" Sirius exclaimed.
"I just need to have a word with Lily and James," she said eying him suspiciously.
She took Lily and James into a near by empty classroom.
"Firstly I congratulate you both on becoming the new Heads. Secondly we will be having a Halloween Dance. Only fourth year and older will be able to attend. To make this a little more interesting everyone must wear a costume so that nobody can tell who you are. As part of the rules you aren't allowed to tell anyone who you are until the end of the dance. I will be posting notices in the common rooms and the corridors. I will also be putting a charm on the castle so that if anyone discusses what their wearing or anything of that nature I will know about it and they won't be allowed to attend the dance. Now since you are the new Heads you have your own dormitory. The password is pumpkin juice."
And with that she said goodnight and they headed off to the common room.
"So what did McGonagall want?" Emma asked.
"I'm still sticking to what I said before, I didn't do it," Sirius said, crossing his arms.
"You're not in trouble mate," James said, "she just told us about the upcoming Halloween Dance."
"Cool!" Katie exclaimed.
"The only thing is," Lily said, "we have to wear costumes that hide our identity."
"And," added James, "if we tell anyone who we are, we won't be allowed to go."
"So," Sirius said, "how is she going to know anyway?"
"She placed a charm on the castle," Lily said.
"Just great," Sirius said, "just great."
Later that night when everyone else had gone to bed Lily and James were still in the common room talking about the dance.
"Cockroach Clusters?" James asked.
"Just because it's Halloween it doesn't mean everything has to be gross," Lily answered.
"How about we have bats flying around!" James exclaimed.
"That's a good idea," Lily said yawning. "We better go to bed, we have classes tomorrow."
"Want to sleep in our dormitory?" James asked.
"Alright," Lily answered.
It was huge. Two four poster beds, their own personal bathroom, and even a little frig. Lily laid down on one of the beds with James plopping down beside her.
"Goodnight flower," James whispered.
"Night," Lily replied.
"They both feel asleep in Lily's bed and no nothing happened you dirty minded people.
