Chapter One

I quickly found which compartment that Caitlyn was in. Caitlyn is a pureblood and her mom always obsesses about how she can't be late for the train so she is always there about and hour early so she always gets a compartment near the front of the train. I walked in to find her reading a book. Her long, wavy brown hair covered her face from view.

"Hey, watch you reading?"

She talked without looking up at me her eyes scanning the page in front of her, "Hogwarts a History."

"Oh of course," I said dryly. "Is there anything new about Hogwarts we should know?"

This comment made her look up. Her dark brown eyes looked into mine, "Hey why didn't you tell me you were Head Girl?"

"What?"

She gestured to the book, "It updates all the time."

"Oh that. Well I just found out the other day. I thought I'd tell you now." I was uncomfortable with the subject. I knew she wanted so bad to be Head Girl and it is my fault she isn't.

"Oh okay. Lils, don't you have go to the Head's compartment talk to the prefects?"

"Shoot, okay I'll be back after."

"But Lily..."

I didn't hear what she said because I was already out the door running towards the Head's compartment. I flung the door open to a compartment full of prefects and-oh no-Potter!

He looked at my shocked face and chuckled slightly. "Hey Evans you are late."

"I-I well." I managed to stutter. Then I realized how ridiculous I looked and walked towards Potter. "Don't let me interrupt you, continue on." I gestured to the prefects.

He talked for a long time to the prefects telling them the passwords, what their job was to do. I contributed my fair share of comments and then we sent the prefects on their way.

I turned to look at him, "You're Head Boy?" I asked incredulously.

"Of course, I always knew Dumbledore was insane."

I made a face and turned away. "Okay I am going now. We can talk about this whole Head Boy and Girl thing later." Then I left slamming the door behind me. I ran to the compartment where Caitlyn was again hunched over Hogwarts a History. I ran to her, snatched the book away and flipped to the page with the Head's listed on it. Sure enough Potter's name was there in black and white.

"Why didn't you tell me he was Head Boy?" I cried and collapsed on the seat next to her.

She turned to me her eyes full of sympathy, "Oh Lils, I tried to tell you but you left before…"

"Oh it's okay Cait. I understand."

We spent the rest of the train ride talking about the new year. Remus Lupin, Caitlyn's boyfriend walked in at some point to say hi to me and Caitlyn. Soon enough we were at Hogwarts. The feast went by rather normally, with the sorting and the food and then Caitlyn and I walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room. Potter and I talked about how we would split up the duties equally and the fact that we didn't have to see each other at all out side our duties and weekly meetings. For a couple months everything went well but every full moon I had to take over his duties because he had to do something. It wasn't a problem until the third time it happened. He once again excused himself from duties and I finally confronted him about what he was doing those nights.

He looked at me warily. "I really can't tell you Lily…"

"Don't call me Lily, and yes you can tell me!" I snapped

"Okay Evans. I can't tell you because it is a private matter, and telling you would hurt one of my friends."

"Potter! I am glad that you care about your friends but these are your duties!"

"Fine I'll make them up for you if you want me too but I won't tell you." He shouted at me.

I had never seen him this angry but before I could say anything he thundered off. It was then I decided I would find out what he was up too if it killed me. And it almost did… literally.

I got a prefect to take over my duties. I sat in the shadows of the common room away from the waning fire. I heard more than saw Potter creep from his dormitory with his best friends Remus, Sirius and Peter. They crept out of the portrait hole and when the door shut, I couldn't believe it. They were sneaking out! As Head Girl I was determined to find out what they were up to and catch them in the act. I knew that Potter and his group were notorious for playing pranks, but this didn't seem like a prank. I stumbled out of the portrait hole and followed them out of the castle. I walked through the heavy door just as the full moon came out of the clouds, I looked out in time to see Remus transform into a-a werewolf. I screamed, shocked and tried to run away but not before the werewolf tuned to me, cold eyes wide, howled and started to run towards me. I looked at him fearfully glued to the spot. All I remember was someone screaming "Lily" and the same person catching me as I fainted in fright.
