A/N: Wow, I just almost put up chapter 17 by accident, thats what happens when they're all saved under 1, and you put C16 twice in a row... That would have been a disaster no one would know what was going on... anyway here is the real chapter 16
With All My Heart
The Head Dorm
Lily and James had to make sure everyone was off the train, and then proceed to see that all the first years made it to Hagrid, and everyone else onto the horseless carriages. So Lily and James were the only two left and shared a carriage.
The ride up was slow, but comfortable. It was a rather warm night for September, cloudless, and dark, with stars shining bright.
These were the kind of nights Lily loved.
The sorting did not take long. Gryffindor received about ten new kids. One of which was the little red headed boy they had seen at the station, he went by the name of Bill Weasley.
Finally Dumbledore stood up to speak.
"Welcome one and all to Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. Now there is a time for nice long speeches, but I will save it for when everyone is not starving." With that the plates filled with food.
Lily had finally realized how hungry she truly was. She grabbed all the food around her. It was great! She paused to look around and saw that she was not the only one that was starving. Sirius, James, and Remus looked like that had not eaten anything in over a month. Natalie and Andromeda had already had enough of to eat by that time. Finally Lily looked over and realized that Peter looked paler than usual and was not eating.
Peter was in fact staring at something going on at the Slytherin table. Lily followed his gaze and saw Malfoy, Snape, Terret, and Regulus talking intently about something.
Lily did not know what to think about this. Peter had done nothing on the train, and now was staring off at his best friends' worst enemy. This did not make sense at all. Lily did not like it either.
"Peter, why are you not eating?" Lily asked innocently. Remus, Sirius, and James looked up now too. Andromeda and Natalie were very intent on a conversation, which by the sound of it had to do with Remus, to notice.
"I am just not hungry, that is all, nothing wrong." Peter said really quickly. His friends accepted the response, but looked skeptical, so Peter added. "Do not worry, I ate a lot on the trait."
Lily realized then that after their little meeting with the Slytherins Peter had disappeared. That was before the trolley came. Lily had to wonder where he might have been. Though she did not have a lot of time to dwell on it because Dumbledore had stood up once again.
"Now that we are all fed I have some start of term notices to give out. First off, the Forbidden Forest is in fact forbidden as its name states," Dumbledore said looking around the great hall and resting on the Marauders for a split second. "Second, there is no magic to be performed in the hall ways," He again looked around the hall stopping on many people including James, Sirius, and Snape. "Finally I would like to introduce our new Head Boy and Girl, both coming from Gryffindor, James Potter, and Lily Evans, which I would appreciate it if you both would come to see me after this."
There was a health round of applause when James' name was stated and one a little less intense when Lily's was.
"Now, you may all follow your prefects up to your common room, I am sure you will all want to get a good nights rest for classes tomorrow." Dumbledore said calmly.
Everyone got up, Lily and James told their friends that they would go up to the common room after wards to tell them what ever they could. Then James and Lily proceeded to go speak to Dumbledore.
"James, Lily, as you well know you will be sharing a common room," Dumbledore started. "I have chosen you each for your abilities in and out of the classroom, though I know it is tempting please do not abuse your powers. Or fight." He added as an after thought, a twinkle of laughter in his eyes. "Now in regards to your common room, there is a bedroom for each of you on either side, and you each have your own bathroom. You can choose the password when we get up there and change at will, but you must change it together." He said with a warm smile. "You are permitted to give your password to your friends, but I would not parade it around the school. Now lets go." Dumbledore said.
He lead the pair up to the seventh floor, and when they came to Gryffindor tower Dumbledore took them off to a small hallway on the left. It wound many time and had many misleading turns (Dumbledore was explaining to them as the proceeded forward). Finally they came to the seventh hall on the right and Dumbledore lead them down it. There was one painting of a girl and boy sitting outside having a picnic.
"Ann, Lou, these are the Head Boy and Girl." Dumbledore stated to the painting. "I am going to depart so that way they can decide upon a password." Dumbledore told Lily and James. "Oh and if you ever need to speak to me, the password to my office is candy apple." He added as an after thought, and then walked down a hall directly in front of the painting that Lily and James had not seen before.
"Well what would you two lovely people like the password to be set as?" Ann asked.
"Do not ever tickle a dragon." James said to Lily with a laugh.
"Sounds good." Lily said.
"Okay Miss Lily, Mr. James, you want the password to be 'Do not ever tickle a dragon'?" Lou asked.
"Yeah." Lily and James said together.
"Have fun!" Ann said then the portrait swung open.
Lily led the way through the whole followed by James.
"Cute password." Lily said. She then looked ahead of her.
They were in a circular common room with a red carpet and gold walls. There were many couches around the room and two desks. Both of the desks had quill, parchment, and ink on them. There was a bookshelf on one wall and a mini kitchen on the other.
"This is so amazing." Lily said.
"I know, c'mon lets go check our rooms." James said heading to the left. Lily went to the right.
When Lily saw her room she believed that she would faint. The walls were a deep blood red speckled in gold. The carpet was the same blood red as the walls. She had a king sized bed against the wall. Her dresser was extremely tall and had all her clothes already placed in it neatly. She had a walk in closet that held all of her robes, shoes, and a hidden jewelry box for her.
She walked into the bathroom to see a nice long bathtub, which had many different faucets that could control the temperature, or bubble bath, or even make it a Jacuzzi, depending on what the person felt like. There were full-length mirrors across the walls. There was a counter across the only side of the room that did not have a mirror from floor to ceiling. On the counter were many hair care solutions and much make up. She had many hairbrushes there too, along with shampoo and conditioner.
To the right of this was another walk in closet, Lily turned on the light, and walked in to see that there was another door through it. On the side walls of the closet were towels and blankets. Through the door Lily found a nice sized shower. Lily loved where it was situated.
"I like your room Lily. It looks a lot like mine, just nicer." James said from the door to the closet.
Lily ran over and kissed him. "I love this! I get to be with you when I want, and hell you can even come into my room. I have to remember to lock it now." Lily said as an afterthought.
James smirked and kissed her. "You want to see my room?" He asked when they broke apart.
"Yeah." She replied. James lead her our and through the door to his room.
They're rooms looked identical except his had Quidditch posters all over the walls. His bathroom was just as big as hers, but there were not nearly as many hair care products, and no make up of course.
"Should we go get our friends?" James asked after they finished the grand tour.
"Yeah lets go." Lily said. Her and James walked had in hand out of the room and through the common room. Finally they walked out into the hallway and retraced their steps.
When they got close enough to see the entrance to Gryffindor tower they saw an astonishing sight.
A/N: Okay, I'm getting such great feed back on this story, keep it all coming. The day is drawing nearer, and I will tell you all I swim from 7:30-9:30(so I wont be home from 7-10am) and then again from 4-6pm(so i wont b home from 3:30-6:30) give or take a little, so what I am going to try and do is write before and after practices, I'll probably be getting up at like 5:30, so i will try and write some then, then before and after dinner till I pass out, so hopefully I will be updating like everyother day... Anyay
Rebecca Victoria Rushton: Yeah that kind of is weird how love saved Harry, but not Lily, but J.K. explained it, apparently it was because Lily was given the choice to live, and I just used those words for now, I don't like saying 'forever' because usually it is not true. Forever is a long time. So I'm going to wait for a good time to use that one :) Thanks for Reviewing
That's the only big review I need to address right now, so i will refraim from prolonging your time to read even more, as long as you Reviewthat is!
Love Always,
Crazy Lily
