Right Out of a Muggle Storybook

Summary: Basically this is just another cute story of how James Potter and Lily Evans come together. It takes place during the Marauders 7th year at Hogwarts and the students' new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is making them all keep journals during the year. Also, things are especially bound to get interesting with Lily and James paired up as Head Boy and Head Girl...

A/N: Yay! I decided to continue. I think that I have a problem with stating the obvious...

Chapter 2: Head Boy and Girl

All of the Marauders were saying goodbye to their families and were about to step onto the Hogwarts Express as Lily came running through the barrier to Platform 9 & 3/4. Sirius was the first of the four to spot her and he grinned as he grabbed James' suitcase and belongings.

"I'll take your stuff onto the train mate. I wouldn't want to keep you from your precious Lily. Just wait until we're all there before you tell her that you're Head Boy though. I wouldn't want to miss that." Sirius laughed and winked at James. James shot a grateful glance at Sirius then headed over to where Lily was standing, while Sirius led the other two boys onto the train.

Lily had stopped just in front of the barrier to catch her breath. She could see that the train wasn't going to leave for at least a little while and that she wasn't going to miss it. She was so relieved that she had made it on time but she was absolutely exhausted from all of the running. She had to stop for a few seconds before she collapsed.

As James approached Lily, he couldn't help but laugh. Her face was almost the exact same shade as her red hair; possibly even a more alarming red, and she was breathing very heavily. Lily looked up and groaned inwardly when she saw that it was James Potter who was standing next to her. She tried to stand up straighter, and snatched up her things from the floor. "Wow. Lily Evans late for once. I never thought I'd see the day" James joked.

"Hello James" Lily said coolly, trying to regain at least some of her dignity. "For the record though, I'm not late. The train hasn't actually left yet, has it?" James could instantly see that he had made a big mistake with his comment and by laughing at her.

"Erm, I guess not. So...how are you?" he started to say, his voice faltering. He couldn't help but notice that her emerald green eyes were blazing angrily at him. This wasn't exactly how he had wanted to start things off this year between the two of them, although he wasn't altogether surprised at the reaction he had gotten from her.

"I'm fine" Lily responded, starting to walk closer to the train. "We're both going to miss the train if we don't get on it now though" she continued, obviously thinking that she would be able to get rid of him once she managed to get on the train. He missed this though, and he walked alongside her, draping his arm over her shoulder. Lily grimaced and brushed him off, stepping up into the train. A few moments later the Hogwarts Express started to move, leaving the platform. Lily noticed that everyone else had already managed to get settled into their compartments.

"Well, it's been great Potter" She said sarcastically, backing away from James. "I guess I'll be seeing you later though. I have to go up to the Heads compartment so you should be going off to find your little friends now..." she trailed off, not believing her eyes. How could she not have noticed something like this! Gleaming from James Potter's chest was the shiny badge that was supposed to belong to the new Head Boy. How could he have done such a thing? Lily had clearly underestimated James once again, considering the fact she was actually shocked by this.

"James Potter!" Lily said, almost screeching. "Of all the lowly, despicable things! Return that badge to Remus right now unless you want to be hexed!" Lily brought out her wand, shaking with anger. Considering how her day had been going so far, she had absolutely no problem hexing Potter if she had to. It probably wasn't the best way to start her career as Head Girl, but at that moment, she didn't particularly care.

"Has anyone ever told you how cute you look when you're mad?" James asked mischievously, winking at her.

"I mean it James! Give it back to Remus!" Lily was becoming increasingly angry by the second.

"I would my dearest Lily, but this badge isn't Remus'" James replied, quite amused with the situation. He had promised himself earlier that he wouldn't make Lily angry this year. After all, this was the last chance he was going to have with Lily. Soon they were going to be leaving Hogwarts forever, and if he couldn't make her change her mind about him, he might never get to see her again. However, despite this promise to himself, he always enjoyed making Lily so flustered. It was really quite funny. And he had no doubt that she would really try to hex him.

"Fine then. Then give it back to whoever it belongs to!" Lily said, thinking that he was quite obviously missing the entire point.

"Its owner already has it in his possession" James gave Lily a wide grin, and then waited for the meaning of his words to sink in.

"Stop being so utterly ridiculous" Lily said impatiently, her wand still raised dangerously.

"Oh, but I'm not joking gorgeous. Meet your new Head Boy!" James spread his arms out dramatically, his grin becoming even wider than before.

Lily snorted loudly. "Very funny Potter, but I'm not buying it. Nobody in their right mind would make you Head Boy, and Dumbledore is a sensible wizard."

It took a lot of arguing before James was able to convince Lily that he had been chosen as the new Head Boy. He had thought that she might calm down once she realized that he was telling her the truth. However, it actually managed to have the opposite effect on her. Instead of calming her, it increased her rage. She couldn't even manage to speak because she was so overcome by anger. Things really weren't going as she had planned. Her entire 7th year was going to be ruined by this idiot. She would actually have to be spending time with him this year. Lily's mind wandered back to earlier that morning when she had been writing in her journal. She really must have lost her mind thinking that he could be her prince charming. This thought made her even angrier and she totally lost control. It seemed as though both her wand and her mouth had minds of their own.

"Densaugeo!"

James' front teeth started to grow longer and longer. Lily could only look on in horror. She couldn't believe that she had actually just done that. Although she was angry, she really hadn't been all that serious about hexing him. Lily looked behind James and noticed the heads of curious students peeking out behind compartment doors. At that moment, Sirius, Peter, and Remus all fell out of their compartment, clearly having listened to the entire thing. All three boys managed to get back up, but Sirius' face was red from trying not to laugh and he couldn't manage to contain himself after catching a glance at James' continuously growing beaver teeth. He collapsed again, tears streaming down his face. It even looked as though Remus was having a difficult time trying not to laugh. Lily then heard some muttering behind her, and James' teeth almost instantly stopped growing.

"Well, Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans. I'm glad to see that you are both getting off to a great start by setting an example to our younger students"

Dumbledore stood beside them, his eyes twinkling.

"I guess that at least this year isn't going to be dull..."

A/N: Thanks have to go out to EClaire W for helping me make up my mind about continuing with the story. My first review! I guess that one person liking my story was all that it took. lol. It totally made my day :) I may not be able to update for a while though because I'm leaving for Mexico tomorrow and I probably won't have access to a computer. I'd love it if more people review and maybe even give me some suggestions for the plot. Thanks!
