James rubbed the gel into his hair; having put so much on that it appeared painted on to his head – like a Ken doll. Except, of course, that he didn't know what a Ken doll was, but that is beside the point. He combed it with a centre parting – looking like those old photos of little boys with Bryl Creem (which he also wouldn't recognise - but that is also not important (and that is the spelling my dad gave me. If you know a better one, or the correct one, don't hesitate to review and say)) – and it stayed that way for approximately six seconds before pinging back up into its usual mess. With a sigh, he dropped the comb on his bedside cabinet, straightened his robe collar and headed for the Ravenclaw Common Room.
One of the benefits of being a marauder and finding where all the Common Rooms were was that he never had to wait in an over-crowded Great Hall looking all over for some girl who he'd probably break up with in a week. Besides, he smirked as he walked; they seemed to think that he'd taken the care to learn where it was JUST for her. Girls, they thought they were the centre of the universe (Not meant in an offensive way. I'm a girl!). Like he would learn the passwords and locations of the common rooms, just for a date. Well maybe if it was a very pretty girl, like Evans. Except Evans – must remember to call her Lily, it really annoys her when I do that – was a Gryffindor, so he would already know.
Walking into the wall opposite the Ravenclaw Common Room drew him from his thoughts. Very happy that no one was outside to see him do that; he turned round, bright red, and cursed.
In her room, Lily was bored. She'd got dressed really quickly and had nothing to do. Her newly washed hair was flowing around her shoulders instead of in its usual ponytail and she was wearing make-up – something she never usually wore. She'd put on jewellery and her dress and shoes. She'd done all her homework, including two extra credit reports, and finished the book she was reading. The only thing she could think of was to go to the Head's Common Room – the Heads got their own dormitory (each!) and a shared Common Room – and see if there were any books.
She was meeting Sev in the Great Hall and she knew she had half an hour before she had to leave and it wasn't like she could go and change library books in these heels. She'd be laughed at the whole way.
Deciding that going over her essays was probably a good idea she walked into her room, but had a feeling something was out of place. It didn't take her long to realise her nightwear drawer was slightly open. When she opened it further, to close it, she realised that her favourite nightie, one she'd gotten a couple of years back and reminded her of one her mum used to wear when she was little, was missing. I didn't take her long to realise the culprit. The same guy who'd stolen her underwear last year. James Potter.
Completely forgetting that she had a date to keep, that she was wearing high-heels, a dress, make-up, more jewellery than she'd ever worn at one time etc, she ran around the school, looking for James. Unluckily for him, that didn't take her long.
