Disclaimer-I own none of this, Not American idiot because that story belongs to Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool ((green day)), Not Harry Potter, because that belongs to Ms J.K. Rowling. I do own my shoes though they are named Mike and Spike.

The remainder of that day and the one following it are not vitally important. (In other words I was to drunk and hung over in turns to remember much about that time period). They were gone so fast it seemed like only minuets after Peter had left for 'Tommy's house' my mom was shaking us awake to go to the train station. I think the fact that Remus, Sirius and myself sat down and drowned our worries about Peter with the remainder of the alcohol in my house may have helped move time along more swiftly.

We arrived at the station bleary eyed, but with the familiar thrum of anticipation that always greeted a new school year. My mom dropped us off at kings cross and then left to go see her boyfriend.

" Well if it ain't St. Jimmy" a voice from behind us made me jump out of the sleep deprived stupor. I turned around and smiled when I saw the only girl I can really call nothing more then a friend at Hogwarts. Christina Iguana, a very skinny 6th year Gryffindor girl. She was a chaser on the house Quidditch team, which was how we met. She's always getting into trouble; normally with my help but for some odd reason Christina always got blamed for everything, even when the joke was being played on her. But luckily the blonde had a good sense of humor about her bad luck.

" That's my name, you better not wear it out, how ya doing Chris?" a slung my arm over her shoulder as I pushed my cart thru the barrier to get to platform 9 3/4.

" I'm all right had an awful summer glad to be back at school You make head boy this year Jimmy?" she shrugged and leaned into my arm. She's the only person I let call me Jimmy; I'm not really sure why I let her get away with it I just always have.

" What was so bad about it?" I asked looking down at her. Chris is a whole head and a half shorted then I am. She's really kinda cute in a skinny as a stick little sister kind of way.

" Spent most of it in St. Mungos, broke my arm and three ribs playing Quidditch with some kids in my neighborhood, then I caught a nasty flu bug ,and then my little brother was playing with my mom's wand and hexed me good." She laughed " Same old same old you know?"

" Okay that sucks, a lot" Sirius ruffled Chris's long blonde hair and gave her a hug around the shoulders.

" Must agree, Mooney make it thru already?" I asked him letting go of Chris as Sirius decided this was a good time to pick her up and sling her over his shoulder.

" Put me down! Really it's great to se you too Black but put me down right this instant!' she pounded on his back, but it was kind of hard given the fact that she was upside down.

" Say please" he smirked

" Oh I'll say please, with a kick in the nuts. I'm wearing six-inch combat boots Black; do you want me to make it certain that you can never have children? Now put me down all the bloods rushing to my head!" she kicked out with her foot, just to prove that she could. Sirius sighed and put her down. He was rewarded with a kick in the shin

" Jesus mother fucking! Why does everybody keep kicking me there? It's been black and blue all summer!" he hopped up and down like a vary large, very psychotic bunny. I laughed and was just about to make a witty retort when I saw Lily.

" Oh I know that look, were is little Miss Priss?" Chris sighed and looked around until she spotted Lily. " Yo! Evens come here for a sec?" she called waving Lily over.

" Chris! What the hell? I don't want to se her!" I muttered, my pride was still stinging from being slapped in the middle of Diagon Ally, I did not want a repeat in fount of all the people I had to go to school with for the year.

" Hello Christina." Lily smiled, as I dived behind Sirius. Then I mentally slapped myself. I'm fucking JAMES POTTER, I hide from no girl.

" Hi Lily" I managed. Her hair was in two braided pigtails and she was wearing a clash shirt today. The head girl pin was attached to her electric blue belt.

" Oh hello asshole" she said drily " what do you want?"

" Do you wanna sit with me at the feast tonight? I mean the heads ought to show that they get along to the rest of the students, for unity and such" I shrugged " it would be good for the younger kids, I mean what with the uncertain times we live in today" oh yeah I still can cook up a damn good story when I'm on the spot. I looked for Chris and Sirius to see what they thought of it, but they were no were to be found.

" How uncharacteristic of you Potter, I suppose we can't let the first and 2 seccond years down." She shrugged " I'll sit with you tonight, but if you try any of your normal crap you will have my fork sticking out of your leg. Mark my words" she gave me a glare that could have melted iron, so I gave a week smile.

" What sort of crap are you expecting?"

" Putting you hand on my leg and looking down my shirt like you did last time you sat near me" she looked down at her nails. They were painted acid green. I like acid green it's so original and different. Yes in fact you all did need to know that. But anyway she had me there.

" No crap honest" I held up my hands in defeat. " I just want the honor of sitting next to you Lily."

" It's Evens to you Potter, and I thought you were doing this for the younger kids"

" Right the younger kids, of course"

" You are so full of shit" she walked away and the train whistle blew.

"Prongs, get your arse on this train before it leaves without you!" Sirius called as he hung out of the last compartment, I could see Remus and Chris already sitting down.

"Shut your mouth before I shoot you down or something Padfoot!' I yelled back and then ran to jump on the train as it pulled from the station.

" What did she say?' Chris asked flipping thru the pages of Guitar world as she lay on her stomach in the seat across from Remus. She didn't even bother to look up.

" She's sitting next to me at dinner tonight so it's a start" I flopped down into the remaining empty seat in the compartment. " Where's Wormtail?" I asked realizing he wasn't there.

" Said he was sitting with some people he met at Tommy's house" Remus made a face " I hope he knows what he's getting into"

" Oh course he doesn't, its Wormtail" Sirius shrugged " Now were is the witch with the food cart, I'm starved"

" You had seven bacon and egg sandwiches this morning how can you be starved?" Remus exclaimed, obviously he'd forgotten whom he was talking to.

" I have a bottomless put for a stomach" he then belched; Christina laughed so hard she feel out of the seat.

" So you gonna get her this year Jimmy?" she asked once she got herself up of the floor and the laughing controlled.

" With any luck, yes yes I shall" I nodded and then leaned my head up against the window to watch the country side fly by. Christina settled back with her magazine and Sirius and Remus broke out the exploding snap cards. The food cart came so Sorus was happy and content to munch on chocolate for the remainder of the trip. It seemed like not even a minuet latter the conductor came on to tell us to change into our robes because we would be arriving at Hogwarts within 15 minuets.

" Wow this is the last train ride to Hogwarts I get to be with you guys for" Chris muttered keeping her eyes on the floor. Her voice was kinda shaky so I hugged her around the shoulders.

" Don't think about it that way, think of it as one year closer to breaking out of the establishment"

" Yeah, and getting a shot at exposing the needle in the vein of it to" Sirius chimed in.

" The needle in the vein? You're implying that the establishment is made of druggies?" Chris looked up a smile dancing in her eyes.

" Nope they all are addicted to coffee, and are ostentatious enough to have it given by IV." Sirius smiled and nodded his head knowing.

" You are so full of shit" Chris punched him in the arm.

My mind drifted back to the conversation with lily. Tonight's feast was going to be memorable to say the least.

" So Jimmy you got a game plan of tonight?" Chris walked thorough the door of the compartment after leaving to change into her Hogwarts robes.

" Of course he has a game plan, it's to do his damnedest not to get stabbed in the leg with a butter knife! " Sirius chirped, earning himself a punch in the stomach

"Oye mate that hurt!" he groaned but I just pushed my hair out of my eyes and looked at Chris.

" No in all honesty I'm not even sure why I even asked her." I shrugged and slouched in my seat as I pinned my head boy badge to the front of my robes.

" Well heres a quick run down of what not to do. Don't look down her shirt, don't make any lewd suggestions and don't belch in her ear" Chris smiled and punched me in the arm playfully. " Don't stress as long as you don't do anything to offend her you'll be fine"

" So in other words just be Moony in your body and it'll be fine" Sirius nodded and Remus rolled his eyes.

" I don't think acting like me is going to do Prongs any good Padfoot"

" Sure it will, you're like all gentlemanly and stuff"

" Is gentlemanly even a word?" Chris wanted to know

" We have now reached Hogwarts, please leave all your belongings on the train they will be shipped to your rooms. Have a safe and fun term!" the conductors cherry voice rang out thru the train.

" Well here we go guys, the last year of Hogwarts" I smiled and checked my reflection in the window to make sure my hair was properly messed up.

" Yeah another year at Hogwarts started and we've already lost Wormtail" Sirius muttered. We laughed and got into the horse less carriages that would bring us to the castle.

"Hey guys!" Peter was waiting for us at the entrance to the great hall. He looked flushed but happy. " We sitting at the usual spot?" he asked

" Well Prongsy is going to sit with Evens tonight so I don't know" Sirius shrugged and pushed open the door to the great hall. " are we siting with you guys or what?"

" I think it would be better if Jimmy sat away from us when he's sitting with Lily. Just because you two together is not something Lily really would want to deal with." Chris said diplomatically, Sirius just rolled his eyes.

" Nonsense if she's going to love Jamesy she's gonna have to get used to me 'n Remus 'n Peter 'n you!" He said sitting down next to me.

" But she doesn't love him yet. That's the problume" Chris sighed and sat across from us between Remus and Peter.

Then Lily walked in a time stopped for a second. Honestly it's like she was lit up by a halo of lights. I think it was Chris who kicked me because she was the one who hissed

" get up and pull her chair out for her" so I followed Chris's instructions.

" Good evening Ms. Lily. Very glad you could join us" I said giving her a mock bow as I looked up at her thorough my bangs.

" Thanks Potter, how nice of you" she said hesitantly, looking at me out of the corner of her eye during the sorting, like she was afraid I was going to sprout fangs and turn her into my vampier bride.

" Welcome Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I know you all are famished so I won't keep you from your food any longer then just to let you know that we are very pleased to have Ms Lily Evens and Mr. James potter as our new Head Girl and Boy" The following applause was taken with head bobbing from Lily and myself and then the food appeared.

" Hey we have marmalade!" Sirius exclaimed as he poured it over his ham

" Why on earth would you even think about putting marmalade on ham of all things Sirius?" Chris asked knitting together her eyebrows.

"For the same reason a dog licks his balls, because I can" Sirius nodded smugly and then started eating.

" Wow that's an image I did not need before I started eating, thanks so much Back" Lily scowled

" Honestly Sirius can't you be serious for one whole meal" I joked and he hit me in the back of the head

" So Lily, how was you summer?" Remus asked politely and Lily smiled across the table at him

" Boring as all hell, how was yours?"

" Mildly entertaining, I spent most of it with James and Sirius" he nodded and then started eating his very rare steak.
" That reminds me!" Peter said suddenly " I have to go to the library after dinner" he nodded solemnly " So will somebody come and give me the password so I can get into the tower?"

" Yeah sure, how the bloody did you get going to the library out of Remus's description of his summer vacation?" Sirius looked at Peter as if he had grown another head.

" I dun know"

" Neither do I"

" Anyway, so Lily what prompted the change in attitude slash dress slash hair?" I honestly didn't mean it in a bad way. I was just making conversation but god don't you know what? Girls are temperamental harpy demons.

" What's that supposed to mean?"" she glared at me and i know I shrunk away from her glare.

" Just you used to look like a goody two shoes book worm and now you look.. well you look".. I knew I had backed myself into a corner. And now Lily Evens was gonna go teenage assassin on me. Shit.

I saw Chris slap her head to her hand in disgust, and I distinctly head Remus mutter " oh boy now he's gonna die" under his breath.

" Is that why you're being nice to me Potter? Because all of a sudden I don't look like a teachers pet? Is that all you care about? Looks? God you are SUCH a guy I can't believe I even thought for a moment you we're going to be any different then you ever have been" she got up, slammed her chair into the table ( thus prompting the everyone in the great hall to stop what they were doing and turn to see what was going on) and stomped over to the other end of the table to sit with her friend.

" hey sorry mate…" Sirius started

" I don't need your pity"

" Yes, you do. "

" No, I don't."

" Yes, you do."

" No, I don't."

" Yes, you do."

" Would you two shut up honestly!" screamed one of Siruis's shoes.

" Shut up yourself! Your just a shoe what do you know about human conversation?" Sirius yelled angrily

"More then you would obviously." his shoe said, in a snootier tone then one would expect a converse to talk in.

" Not to interrupt this episode of Jerry Springer but could somebody pass me the orange juice?" Remus asked

" You and your fucking orange juice Moony, my God" I laughed and passed him the effing orange juice.

"You gonna be okay mate?" Chris asked me patting my arm across the table, knocking over the marmalade in the process.

" NOT MY MARMALADE!" Sirius dived to save the marmalade jar and fell on the floor.

" And I'm friends with you people because?" Remus started.

"Speaking of friends where did Wormtail go?" I asked realizing I hadn't seen him in awhile.

" Damn it we lost him again!" Sirius yelled banging his fist on the table.

And none of them said " I told you so" to me because they are just the best friends a guy could have. Yeah either that or because they know that I know where they sleep. One of the two.

A/n- sry for the delay, I got sidetracked. Really sidetracked. Expect an update at least once a week loves! I'll keep um coming if you keep reviewing!
