JKR owns it!

"No Way!"

James and Sirius pulled open the compartment door in one of the compartments in the back of the train. There sat their two other best friends, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

At the sight of James and Sirius, Remus and Peter smiled. They all greeted each other enthusiastically.

"How was summer?" James asked Remus.

"Pretty good," answered Remus.

"Full moon, okay?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, boring without you guys there with me though," he answered truthfully.

"No worries, we're back," Peter piped in, to which Remus nodded gratefully.

There they sat enjoying each other's company catching up on each other's summer.

James' POV

It's good to be back.

He looked over at his three best pals and smiled. It was definitely good to be back.

Lily, Allie, and Alice was looking for an open compartment, which was always hard to find, finally founding one in the back of the train.

"Finally, my legs are killing me!" Allie cried.

She sat down and stretched her legs out so that Alice and Lily had to sit across from her. Lily gazed outside the window passing the fields of grass. She sighed.

"What's wrong, Lils?" Alice asked. Allie sat up from her position.

Lily looked her two best friends.

"It's just so sad. This is our last year at Hogwarts. What if we never see each other again after this? What if something bad happens? I just can't stand the thought of losing you guys. I just don't want to grow up right now and move outside of Hogwarts with all this bad crap happening outside in the real world. I'm so scared."

"Oh, Lily!" Allie exclaimed rushing over to her friend's side. "Don't worry about a thing."

"We'll be here for you, for all of us," comforted Alice. Lily looked at them and nodded.

"It's the thought you know of living in the world right now. With You-Know- Who out there and his Death Eaters, I don't know if I'll lose anyone I care about anytime soon."

"I know," Allie said. She hugged Lily.

"No matter what we'll be here for each other," Alice said, "we just can't lose each other."

Lily nodded.

"I agree because what would you guys be without me," joked Allie.

Lily and Alice smiled. They hugged each other reassuring each other. Friendship could barely describe their relationship. They were more like sisters.

James glanced at his watch. He got up his Head Boy badge.

"Where are you going?" Remus asked.

"Prefect meeting," James said not looking up from pinning his badge to his robe.

"No way!" Peter exclaimed.

"That's what I said," Sirius said, "No one in the right mind would make Prongs Head Boy."

"Dumbledore might be a genius, but I pretty sure he's a bit mad," laughed James.

"He must have a reason to have made you a Head Boy," Remus said.

"I guess," he replied.

James slid open the door.

"Prongs," Remus said, "congratulations."

James nodded thanks and left smiling and a little nervous. His stomach was churning, and he was sure there must be butterflies flapping around down there.

James slid opened the door of the Head's compartment and there sat lovely Miss Evans. Lily head turned towards the door at the sound of it opening. Her red hair shone in the sunlight as it was threw back. Her beautiful, almond shaped, emerald eyes shined brilliantly. James swallowed. He felt hot around the collar. She was as gorgeous as she was the year before, maybe even more.

"No way!" Lily exclaimed at the sight of James Potter. Her eyes flew to the Head Boy badge attached to his robe. She looked at James.

"Is this for real?" she asked just in case she was dreaming.

Lily's POV

Someone pinch me.

James nodded, walked into the compartment, and closed the door shut. Lily got up still a little shock that the least likely person to be Head Boy was actually, well, Head Boy.

"Evans, congratulations," James said offering his hand for her to shake when all he really wanted to do was hold her in his arms, to never let go.

Lily took it and shook his hand.

"Congratulations to you too," she said a little awkwardly.

James smiled at her and Lily let a little smile pass across her face.

"Well, since we have a history of not getting along I think we should try and behave peacefully toward each other," James said get right down to business, "since we are both heads."

Lily nodded in agreement shocked that he was actually taking his position seriously. She was fully aware of how she and Potter did not get along, especially, when he was being an arrogant prat.

"We can't be at each other's throat all the time so we have to behave nicely towards each other," he continued.

"We don't have to like each other as friends," he said, "just coexist."

James' POV

Although, I wish we could be friends maybe even more by the end of this year.

Lily again nodded. She would have no problem being nice to him of he didn't annoy her.

"We should, probably, talk to the prefects now," Lily said after James was done talking.

He nodded curtly. Lily walked out of the compartment followed by James. Silence fell between them as they made their way together to the prefects' compartment.

"So, how was your summer?" James asked breaking the awkward silence.

"Fine," Lily said not going into details.

"Oh, mine was to," said James.

Silence fell again. Finally, they reached the prefect compartment. James slid open the door and held it open for Lily. Lily thanked him.

Together they greeted the prefects and told them their duties. During that time their thought were occupied with each other.

Lily's POV

Maybe James did change. Maybe we can actually be friends.

James' POV

Play it cool. This is your last year to get Lily, don't screw it up.
