Platform 9 ¾ was packed with Hogwarts students. Lily Evans struggled to get to the train, having already said goodbye to her parents on the muggle platform. She threw her red hair into a ponytail, and continued towards the train, almost knocking over a third year, who turned around to glare at her. Just when she thought he was going to send an evil retort her way he stopped, his eyes on her head girl badge. His mouth shut quickly, and he scurried of to his friends.

'Well,' Lily thought, 'at least this Head Girl badge is good for something.' She shook her head, and continued to fight her way onto the train.

Lily finally got into one of the empty compartments and changed into her robes, reattaching her head girl pin. Her parents had been so proud but Lily really didn't see that it was such a big deal. She had been a prefect and this was just like one more step up. She remembered her sister's reaction when she got her Hogwarts letter six years ago. They had been the best of friends up until she got her first letter, then it had gone all down hill from there.

The sound of her compartment door opening woke Lily from her thoughts.

'Oh no, the Marauders.'

"Miss Evans, nice to see you, nice to see you," Sirius Black said, plopping himself down on one of the seats.

"'Lo Black," she said rolling her eyes.

"Lily," Remus Lupin said, entering the compartment.

"Remus."

"Sirius," Sirius said.

"Peter!" Peter Pettigrew exclaimed, tripping into the compartment.

"Remus." Remus rolled his eyes.

"Sirius,"

"Lily," Sirius continued.

"James," Peter exclaimed, his eyes brightening up. Sirius began to snicker.

"Oi, Prongsy, why don't you have your badge out? Mr. Authority" Sirius said laughing. Lily whipped around to see James Potter standing in the doorway. He was blushing, his hands in his pockets.

Lily narrowed her eyes, she had never seen cocky Potter act this way.

"Potter, what badge?"

'Please not Head Boy,' she thought over and over. James mumbled something.

"What was that Jamsie?" Sirius asked, holding his hand to his ear.

"Head Boy." Lily's face fell.

"Well, I guess you two should get to the prefects meeting," Remus said, not looking up from his book.

"Crap," Lily said, walking past James. She then turned around.

"Coming, Potter?"

"I guess," he sighed. With one last look at his friends, he walked to the prefects meeting with Lily.

"Good summer, Evans?" James asked, his eyes on the floor. 'Why is he acting like this he thought? Mr. Egotistical isn't Mr. egotistical anymore! I wonder if he has deflated his big head over the summer?'

"I guess, you?" She tried to hold a civil conversation with him. Just as she thought he had changed, a group of his, well, groupies came up to them.

"Oh James, we missed you so much!" a girl named Allison said, throwing her arms around his neck.

"Things never change," Lily said rolling her eyes, and stormed off towards the prefects meeting.

"Damnit," James muttered. Just when he was having a pleasant conversation with Lily, stupid Allison came up and ruined it. He pushed Allison off, and tried to hide his anger.

"Sorry, ladies, maybe another time." He ran after Lily, in hopes of catching her before she got to the prefects meeting. He reached the end of the corridor, and saw Lily talking to the prefects. Too late.

He ruffled his hair, and slid the door open. She turned around and glared at him.

"Well," Lily began, "Potter and I are Head Boy and Girl, so if you are having trouble with another student, send them to us. Now, remember, you can deduct points and give out detentions, but please, let's not get carried away. To the new prefects, you will have to do rounds around the castle after hours, and rounds on the train. The rounds will start with the Ravenclaws and the Hufflepuffs, then the Gryfendors and Slytherins. Get it? Got it? Good. All right, dismissed."

"All the prefects, rushed out the door, wanting to return to their friends or start their first rounds. James turned to leave, too, but was stopped by Lily's harsh voice.

"And were do you think you are going?" She sounded incredibly like a mini McGonagall.

"Isn't the meeting over?"

"No, I need to talk to you."

'Oh great,' he thought.

"Now, I know we are not on the best of terms with the, you know, insulting and name calling, but we need to at least pretend to be friends. If the students feel like we are enemies, they'll feel like they can get away with anything because we aren't working together. Can we have a truce, or are we going to be enemies?" she asked, holding out her hand. He smiled. She looked so cute when she was in charge.

"I think I can do that, Lily flower," he took her hand and kissed it. She rolled her eyes.

"Fine, now, let's get back."

"Yes, ma'am."

The train ride was uneventful. The high point was being discussed while Sirius and Peter stuffed their faces with food from the food trolley. They arrived at school in the pouring rain, lightening lighting up the sky. Lily exited the train and ran for the nearest carriage flinging open the door. To her dimay, she found two seventh year kissing. She closed the door, and went for the farthest one, hopping no one else had taken the time to go all the way to the back. She opened the door and found the four Marauders. Rolling her eyes she was about to close the door when James extended a hand. She looked at all the other carriages, which were beginning to move, and sighed. Grabbing his hand, and climbed in.

She was sopping wet, and began to shiver. She reached inside her cloak, and found her wand. She was so happy she was at Hogwarts, and that she could use magic. She cast a drying spell on her self, and let her hair down for her ponytail, letting it cascade down her back. She wasn't trying to show off, but James was staring at her wit his mouth wide open. Sirius snickered, tapping James on the shoulder. James sighed, and returned to the conversation. Lily put her forehead on the window, making it fog up. She could see James leering at her, and she so desperately wanted to snap at him. She remembered their truce and sighed, and turned towards James.

"Is they're anything I can help you with?"

"Ugh, no, wait, yes. When do we go on rounds?"

"McGonagall will tell us." Sirius was looking at their pleasant conversation flabbergasted. He kept looking at James, then looking at Lily, then looking at James.

"Your aren't going to call him a prat or an egotistical maniac?"

"We have come to a truce," she said, narrowing her eyes. She wasn't that bad, was she?

"I see," Remus said in a very understanding manner. Sirius narrowed his eyes, and kept looking back and forth between the two.

"Oh, please Black, will you care to stop that?"

"I knew the old Lily was in there somewhere!" Sirius said delighted.

As the five seventh years exited their carriage, Professor McGonagall flagged down James and Lily beaming with Pride.

"Mr. Potter, Miss. Evans, can you come to my office please? We need to talk about rounds and such," she smiled and bounced off towards the castle.

"Is McGonagall. bouncing?" Lily asked James, horrified.

"Merlin, I think she is. I never thought I'd see the day when Minerva McGonagall would bounce."

"Well, I guess we should get going," Lily said, her eyes still wide.

"Uhuh,"

They both followed their head of house to her desk. She sat behind her desk smiling.

"I am so happy that the Headmaster made two Gryfindors Head Boy and Girl, but I must say," she looked at James, "you are not to embarrass Gryfindor by abusing your duty, understand?" she glared daggers. James just shot her his famous smile and said,

"Me, abuse my duties? Professor, you know I wouldn't!" he could hear Lily giggle softly next to him.

'Lily Evans just giggled? Holy Shite, I am good.' He thought.

"Now, potter, Evans, sit, and I will tell you of your duties."

James and Lily both sat in their chairs. James really, really tried to listen, but the professor's hat was just too interesting.

"So, that concludes what you both must do. Now, both of your rooms are in the east tower."

James snapped out of his revere, "What!"

"James, the Heads always get their own rooms. Didn't you know?" lily asked, arching her eyebrow.

"Well, I didn't think I would be getting Head Boy, so I didn't really do much research on it," James said, shooting her a lopsided smile. She smiled back, and thought to her self,

"Merlin, am I actually flirting with James Potter? Lily get a hold of your self, it is a truce, it doesn't mean you have to shag him," her head snapped back to the Professor, "Hmm, shagging James Potter…Lily, what the hell are you thinking!" Lily could feel a blush rise on her cheeks.

"Anyway, you two are dismissed," McGonagall said, rising with the two Heads.

'This is going to be an interesting year,' she thought. She walked out of her office leaving the two Heads.

"O.K.," James said, "what do we have to do?" Lily sighed, and walked out of the office.

"Lily," he said racing after her. He saw her stop in the middle of the hall. What he didn't see was that she was blushing profusely. He had just called her Lily.

"We have rounds at 10, meet me in the common room." She said, not looking at him. She walked to the Great Hall, leaving him in the corridor.
