Chapter One: Changing Feelings
Lily woke up, to feel two things hit the bedspread. As she opened up her gorgeous emerald green eyes, she saw that she was staring down at two owls. Both carried letters, but, of course, this was normal…. for her.
Lily Evans was a seventeen-year-old witch, who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Owls were the preferred mode of post, and entering her seventh year at the school, she was well used to it. As she bent down, she noticed that the one, larger of the two, had a crest with an eagle, badger, snake and lion, all around the letter "H." Ah, the Hogwarts Letter, I'll open that first. She thought. Gingerly she opened up the letter. In addition to the letter, a shiny badge fell out of the envelope. Can it be? She asked her self silently. Taking the letter that was attached, she slit it open.
Dear Miss Evans,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected for the Head Girl position, this year at Hogwarts. You will be working with Mr. James Potter, who has been selected for the Head Boy position. You will meet him, and the prefects in the Head's Compartment on the train to give them (I am afraid Potter will too) their instructions.
Do well,
Minevera McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts
This was amazing! SHE was Head Girl! Pity the Head Boy was Potter though. Well, I should probably open the other letter. She did so and she was surprised to see that the letter was from Potter!
Dear Lily,
I hope that you are well, have you gotten your Hogwarts letter yet. If not, I have a surprise for you, you are Head Girl! How do I know this? Why I am Head Boy, of course! I was tremendously surprised to get that letter, but not nearly as unsurprised of your Head Girlship. Being Head Boy, I have pledged to straighten my ways. Of course I will till prank people on the following days: First Day of Term, Halloween, April Fool's Day, and Last Day of Term. Just a warning. However, I will stop jinxing people for the heck of it, I know you hate that. I hope that I will see a happy Lily on the First.
Best Wishes,
James Potter
Head Boy of Hogwarts
Major Heartthrob
Quidditch Captain and Chaser
Friend of Sirius Black
Member of the Marauders
PS: If we become friends, you may call me either James, or Prongs.
Wow, he's making all of these changes, for me. Lily thought. Well, if he does indeed succeed, I shall give him a chance.
-------------------
Pop. A black haired, bespectacled boy disaparated onto Platform 9 ¾. James Potter was his name. Oh yeah, this is my year, He thought objective number one: win Lily's heart. A smile formed on his face, as he spotted his best friend, Sirius Black. As he started over to his friend, a group of girls started giggling madly. He was a lady killer, and he knew it. Simply ignoring them, he met Sirius, who was sniggering loudly.
"What do you want Padfoot?" he asked, wondering why in the world a girl had just asked him out when she knew he'd say no.
"Prongs ol' buddy, you must be gettin' old. You just turned down a gorgeous date! Why?" Sirius asked.
James' eyes clouded up. "Evans." he said, while really thinking Who do you think? Lily Evans, the most beautiful girl in the world!
"Well if you'd put your eyes back in, you'd see that she's right behind you wondering why you said her name!" Sirius said slyly.
"Lil-Lily Evans!" James stuttered. In the background Sirius was muttering "Go out with meeeee! Please, Evans!"
"Shut up Padfoot." Nice um, badge." he said spotting the Badge on her chest.
Let's hope yours knocks some sense into you." she said, smiling faintly.
"Badge, what badge?" Sirius asked.
"Head Boy badge." James said.
"AAAAAAH!" Sirius screamed.
"Dunno what he's so worried about." Lily said.
"Pranks, snogging, that sums up the mind of Sirius Black." James supplied.
"Wow..." Lily said. "That's amazingly simple."
"Yep...let's go to the meeting."
"'k"
