Once the girls had all gotten up from bed and changed into casual clothes they all walked down to the common room and the sight they saw made them all start laughing hysterically.

"It was THEM" Sirius screamed at pointed at them.

Peter, and by the looks of it Sirius too were both totally bald as a babies bum! Sirius was wearing a beanie and Peter was just bald and uncovered, but for some reason James and Remus were unharmed.

"What happened to you guys, what did we do?" Sarah asked trying to act all innocent, but it didn't work and she ended up cracking up.

"Well you see, apparently somebody spiked our shampoo. Me, Pete and Jamsie were all having showers, and bloody Moony sending a letter while we were showering, and then when we got out the three of us were completely fricken bald. But then somehow James' hair just grew back to its original length in front of eyes, but that's normal for Prongs, for some reason you can't cut his hair. Anyway back to the topic, somehow something got into our shampoo, any ideas how?" Sirius said.

"Yeah good question, what ever happened to the whole, 'Nobody can prank the pranking king's thing'? Guess that kind of back fired on you!" Alex said.

"Oh and plus, payback for in History of Magic on Friday when James gave me the wrong answer." Lily said, but as she said it she couldn't look him in the eye.

Alex walked over to Sirius and took the beanie off his head and started laughing and said "I think it suits you Sirius, you look hot like that!"

The four girls started laughing again and then turned their backs on the Marauders and walked down to breakfast. Lily couldn't believe her luck, when they were walking to breakfast Lily saw Troy walking towards her. She decided to go for gold, she flashed him a very flirty smile, he looked at her and they locked eyes for a second. Alex looked over at that very second and saw what was happening and did some very quick thinking and a second later Lily's bag that she was carrying had split down the seam, spilling her things everywhere.

"Shit" Lily said, she was already going bright red, how could that happen while Troy was watching.

"Hey Lil, we'll meet you in the Great Hall. OK?" Sarah said and kept walking. How could they just leave me alone here?

She worked out why a second later when Troy bent down and said "do you need some help?"

"Yeah thanks so much they would be great. It's Troy right, you're the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain yeah?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, and you're Lily, that new student who has come from California that everyone has been gossiping about"

"Umm yeah I spose' that must be me!"

"So why did you move here from California?"

"My dad got a new job over here and my old school didn't board, so here I am!"

"You know I love your accent! It is so hot!"

"Really, I have heard so many people saying they hate American accents, do you really like it?"

"Yeah hey listen do you want to go for a walk outside? It's really nice outside, and you know since you are new and all I can show you around the grounds" Troy asked sounding hopeful.

"Yeah sure, I'd love that" Lily said flashing him another one of her smiles.

They walked together outside and started just making petty talk and Troy was showing her all of the things outside. They ended up just sitting down next to the lake and taking their shoes off and dipping their feet in.

"So how do you like Hogwarts so far?" Troy asked.

"Yeah it's really great, I have made some really great friends already, it's so cool! And also AAAH" Lily screamed and took her feet out of the water and practically jumped onto Troy and grabbed his arm.

"Something just touched my foot, I swear something really weird feeling" Lily started

"Don't worry calm down that was just the giant squid, sorry forgot to tell you about that" Troy said as he put his arm around Lily's waist and started rubbing her lower back. She was now sitting right next to him and her hands still clutching his arm tightly. Lily felt like a bit of an idiot and let go of his arm while her heartbeat returned to its normal pace.

"So listen, I was wondering... um do you... you know... um wanna like to go out with me?" Troy asked hopefully.

"Yeah I'd love to!" Lily said smiling. Troy was so happy he gave her a big hug.

When they broke apart Lily said, "hey listen I said I was going to meet my friends back in the great hall and I still need to grab some breakfast, so do you want to go back?"

"Sure" the two got up and walked hand in hand back to the castle and walked into the great hall. Lily spotted her friends, turned to Troy to say bye, and he kissed her on the cheek. Then out of nowhere someone shouted "WOO LILY EVANS AND TROY GALLAWAY. THE NEW HOTTEST COUPLE OF THE WEEK!" She turned around and realised it was Sirius friken Black and now almost every eye in the great hall was looking at her. "Whatever Sirius, so where is your new 'flavour of the week'. Don't tell me you have gone more then a week without another girlfriend? And plus why do you care about my life? Jealous are we?" Lily remarked back.

"For your information, and whoever else's, I have not had a girlfriend for 4 whole days." Sirius said.

"Wow Sirius, is that a record? But I think that might be because right now you're totally BALD!" Lily said and walked over to Sirius and pulled his beanie off his head and started laughing.

"Well maybe I'm just saving myself for someone special who actually has half a brain" Sirius said.

Lily almost laughed when she looked over to the Hufflepuff table and there were girls who quickly broke out whispering 'I think he might mean me, I love him so much'. That stupid little fan club of his.

"No, you are just saving yourself until your hair grows back so a girl would actually say yes" Lily said but knowing very well that all of the blonde bimbos who are part of the Sirius fan club would say yes in a second!

"Aww Evans you're jealous I'm not asking you! Now I realise why you're acting like this. Well Evans maybe someday your day will come, but I won't take that away from Jamsey, and you can't forget you also have that dear old heart throb Troy Gallaway. Just between you and me, I hear he is almost as good as me in bed, and that means he is almost god!" Sirius said. That boy is such a weird boy. How the hell do I make a comeback to that? The whole Gryffindor table was in absolute hysterics, and a few from the surrounding tables. They knew Sirius was always like this, they loved it

"Um… riiiight… Sirius are you sure you are actually mentally stable in the head?"

"Yeah, we have been considering getting him testing for a while now, just never got around to it. We think he was dropped on his head as a baby" James said.

"Prongs ssssh you promised you wouldn't tell anyone that! And plus, whose side are you on!" Sirius said.

Dumbledore came up to the Gryffindor table and instantly the bickering was silenced and he said "James and Lily, we have a meeting in my office, in about 15mins at my office once you two have finished breakfast, see you soon."

Lily then took a seat between Sarah and Alex and grabbed some food and put it on her plate.

"So I take it you're now going out with Troy?"

"Wow, you managed to pick that up, I thought nobody would realise after what Sirius did"

Sarah started laughing a bit then controlled herself and said "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Riiiiight… whatever"

Lily walked into Dumbledore's office and was surprised James was already there, she thought she was on time? She sat in the seat next to James behind the desk and their meeting started up. They were talking about making a ball for the students who were staying home at Christmas time. They were simply deciding on the theme.

"Well you know I am quite fond of Masquerade balls. I went to one a while ago and it ended up being one of the best and funniest nights of my life" James said while taking a quick side glance at Lily and saw that she was also staring at him.

"Yes I do agree, they do end up being lots of fun, but it is always a big surprise when you find out the true identity, I mean a Slytherin could be dancing with a Gryffindor, and that could cause problems." Lily said.

"But that is part of the fun, and once dance with them without knowing who they are they kind of give you a chance and the people might do something they would not normally do in real life." James said taking another secretively glance at Lily and realised she was looking to his eyes again, but there was something different in her eyes, something he liked the look of. They both quickly looked back at Dumbledore and found him smirking. As Dumbledore went on talking somehow James hand made it to Lily's knee. They were sitting behind a high desk so Dumbledore would have no idea. Slowly James' hand was inching its way up Lily's leg right in front of their headmaster. Lily didn't know what to do, secretly she desperately wanted to be with James but she couldn't let that happen. She just kept a straight face and put one of her hands on top of his and slowly edged it back down her leg then off her body all together. And somehow it appeared again. Did he realise what he was doing to her. That dickhead. This time she didn't stop his hand. He was stroking her through her pants and she was having a very hard time concentrating on what Dumbledore was saying while trying to keep a straight face. How could James make this feel so good when it is through her pants?

"Well I think that is a fantastic idea. You will be able to discuss it and work it out in your own time, and on that same note I must tell you about the heads dorms. The both of you have your own separate dormitories that are connected to the heads common room all to yourself. You are not obliged to use them and you can continue using you 7th year Gryffindor dorms but it is up to you. If you are up late working together then you may use the rooms. Well now, let's go and I will show you to them!" Dumbledore happily said while standing up.

"What?" Lily said snapping back to reality. Did he just say what she thought he said?

"You and James have the head dorms that you are encouraged to use but it is not compulsory. I will take you to them now"

As they were walking towards the heads dorms Dumbledore was walking ahead of Lily and James. James kept sneaking glances at Lily; Lily had to keep trying to remind herself that she had a boyfriend. Lily was trying very hard to make a list in her mind for why she hated James Potter, so she would stop thinking about him and about how good his lips on hers felt, but it wasn't very successful, and the list was abysmally short.

They made it to the heads dorms and Dumbledore told them the password which was "Niffler". When the portrait swung open Lily and James were both amazed. It was beautiful. It looked similar to the Gryffindor common room but much more….. comforting? Well whatever it was it was awesome.

"Well I will leave you two to get settled and the two of you must co-operate and organise the ball together. When you have agreed on ideas then you can come and tell me about them." Dumbledore said and with that he left.

When Dumbledore closed the portrait door behind him James turned to Lily and asked "so do you want to make it a masquerade ball?"

"Yeah whatever I don't mind" Lily said trying to ignore the fact that James was slowing coming towards her and trying to make eye contact.

"Well do you like masquerade balls or parties?"

"I wouldn't know I have never been to one" Lily said thinking that maybe if she denied it, it would go away.

"Oh come on Lily, don't try and deny it"

"I don't know what you're talking about James" Lily was now very aware of the fact that James was standing right in front of her. This is why she got a boyfriend, so she wouldn't be tempted by James Potter. But quite clearly it wasn't working and she wanted nothing more then the forbidden.

"Well I do remember, and I know you do. And I want more of it, it was hot, you were hot. And I know I have things that Gallaway can't give you"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Lily said trying desperately to resist James.

"Well how about I give you a little bit of a reminder" James said and closed the gap between his and Lily's lips and gave her a hot passionate and desperate kiss. Lily was kissing back just as passionately. Lily pushed James back against a couch that was just behind them and straddled him on the couch.

James slid her around so she was underneath him and slowly lowered his hand to her leg and slid it up the inside of her thigh. He navigated his hand into her and started doing his thing. He moved his mouth down to her neck and started sucking on her pulse point and he could feel her pulse increasing and breathing increasing and figured he was doing a good job with his hand. James was like the devil, this was so good and she wanted it so much but she couldn't do it.

"No James, look stop." Lily said, very out of breath and moved out from under James' bed and out the door of the heads dorm with James calling out her name and trying to get her to come back. Once she was outside the door she leant against the portrait door and waited for her breathing to become even and normal paced. Inside James was still lying on the couch trying to work out what happened. One minute they were talking, the next minute they were getting with each other and doing those kinds of things for the second time in less then 2 days. What the fuck?
