Lily woke up, staring at the ceiling, feeling sleepy. She looked around the room and found that Remus was up as well, also staring at the ceiling.
"Good morning," Lily said, propping herself up on her pillow and lying on her stomach.
"Mm, good morning," Remus said, flipping over.
"Why are you up so early?"
"Why are you up so early?" Remus retorted. Lily snorted which made Laurie, Emily, and Peter to awaken as well.
"Why are you laughing?" Peter asked sleepily.
"Because we're up," Lily said.
"Oh," Peter said. James picked up his head and looked around.
"Why's everybody up?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Because we can be," Lily said, making Remus snort and roll back over. James squinted his eyes trying to see the red blur in front of him, missing Lily rolling her eyes at him.
"It would help if you had glasses," She said, picking up his glasses and putting them on his nose.
"Thanks," He said, blushing slightly just as Sirius let out a loud snore.
"Should we wake him?" Emily said evilly.
"Naw, he talks in his sleep, let's listen." James said, sitting up and scooting closer to his snoring friend.
"Regulus always gets to eat the last ice-cream," Sirius said, rolling in his sleep. The group laughed as Mrs. Potter appeared at the doorway.
"Rise and shine! Got to get up and get ready to go back to school!" Mrs. Potter said, coming in and startling the sleeping Sirius while the others sniggered at him.
"I'll rise but I won't shine," Sirius grumbled, unzipping his sleeping bag. Everyone laughed as they made their way to the kitchen. They all sat down as Mrs. Potter served them chocolate chip pancakes. After they all rushed about packing last minute things, they put they're trunks in the Potters magically modified van and they all got in comfortably. Mr. and Mrs. Potter and Peter in the front (because he got terribly car sick), the other boys in the middle, and the girls in the back. They laughed and joked until they came to Kings Cross Station.
"Bye, dear, have a good year!" Mrs. Potter said.
"I will!" James and Sirius both said, making Mr. Potter laugh. The kids went through Platforms 9 and 10 and onto the Platform 9 and ¾. They found a compartment at the end of the train and heaved their trunks in.
"I wonder who made Head Boy?" Remus said.
"Didn't you?" Lily said, confused.
"No," Remus said.
"Well I'm Head Girl." Lily said proudly.
"Good job!" Everyone chorused.
"Well I know who Head Boy is!" James said.
"Who?" Said everyone except for Sirius, who already knew.
"Me!" Said James.
"You?" They all said unbelievingly.
"Well don't sound like it couldn't happen." Said James, feigning hurt.
"I don't believe it." Lily said, shocked.
"I do," Remus said, clapping James on the back.
"Well, my fellow Headship and best friend. To the Prefect's compartment?" James said, motioning to the door.
"Okay," Lily and Remus said, rolling their eyes. They made their way to the front of the train, James trying to strike up conversation every few seconds that it got quiet.
"James, you know you can't talk to a girl if she can't figure out what the heck a Ploynoff pars is!" Lily said.
"Porskoff Ploy! And it's a Quidditch Maneuver!"
"Well of course!" Lily said sarcastically. "Let me enter first and introduce you."
"Why," James said, waiting outside while Lily and Remus entered, ignoring him.
"Hello, everyone. You probably remember me. I'm Lily Evans and I am Head Girl this year. This year's Head Boy is—"
"Lupin, I knew he'd make it." A Hufflepuff Prefect, Janine McGregor said.
"No, funnily enough, it's not Remus. This year's Head Boy is none other than the infamous James Potter." Lily said, unable to keep the smirk off her face and James entered the silent compartment.
"What?" He said, looking around. The compartment roared with laughter and Lily had tears in her eyes.
"Anyway…" Lily said, lecturing all of them. By the time the three of them had got back to the compartment, the others were playing Exploding Snap.
"What have we missed?" James said, sitting down.
"Nothing much," Sirius said. Lily took the window seat next to James and watched as Remus blew up his and Sirius' face.
"Anything off the trolley dears?" The witch with the cart said. They all bought something and happily ate as Sirius kept blowing himself up. Lily yawned really loudly making the burned up Sirius laugh.
"Tired, Lillykins?" Sirius said. Lily glared at him.
"Do not call me Lillykins," She said with a low, dangerous voice.
"Why not? Lillykins?" Sirius said, trying to hold in his laughter while Remus looked like he'd never see him alive again.
"Because, did I mention the kick in the groin you'll be receiving if you call me that again?" Lily said, standing up slowly.
"No, my dear Lillykins, I didn't." He said, standing also. Lily lunged at him, but wasn't quick enough. Sirius tackled her to the ground while he tickled her mercilessly.
"Sirius! Stop it! A million points from Gryffindor! A year's worth of detention!" She cried, laughing.
"Lillykins, Lillykins, Lillykins!" Sirius sang while James joined him in tickling her.
"Sirius Black! James Potter! Stop!" She roared. "Emily help me!"
"No, I don't think I will." Emily said, laughing at her poor friend.
After Lily managed to break away and kick them both in the shins, she sat back down.
"So, Sirius, have you learned your lesson?" Lily asked.
"Hmm…what was the lesson, Lillykins?" He said, feigning stupidity. She threw her chocolate frog at his head but he only caught it in his mouth. Just as she was about to lunge at him again, James held her around the middle.
"Don't start again," James said.
"Gawd, you two wore me out." Lily said, yawning again.
"I'm sure old Jaimsie-poo wouldn't mind you using him as a pillow," Sirius said, winking at James.
"Be my pillow," She said. James nodded, very red and she put her head on his shoulder and fell straight to sleep.
"Aww," Sirius said.
"I hope she doesn't wake up," James said, stroking her hair. Sirius sniggered at him while Remus read a book, hiding from view and resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
