The Hogwarts express had finally arrived in Hogsmeade station. Lily stood up and she could see the corridors filling up. It was time for her first duty as Head girl. She got up suddenly and reached for her trunk she swung it down and it hit James' foot.
"Owwwwwww," James moaned dramatically, rubbing his foot. His foot didn't actually hurt him but he loved it when Lily spoke to him.
Lily stormed past James, ignoring him.
"Need help with that trunk of yours, Evans?"
She rolled her eyes and sighed loudly. She honestly didn't like him. He was irritating and was always asking her out. Lily stepped out of the Hogwarts express and was helping the first years and guiding them. James got off the train 10 minutes later.
Lily was helping a first year with her trunk and she didn't see James step off the train.
"Aah Evans," James murmured from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"LET GO OF ME POTTER!" Lily snapped, her face furious and she was turning red. "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE 10 MINUTES AGO, HELPING ME!"
James grinned and let go of Lily's waist. He leaned closer to Lily and whispered in her ear, "Evans, I'm head boy. You're going to have to live with that."
Lily's face was slowly turning the same colour as her hair. James Potter was the most annoying prat and she wanted nothing to do with him.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The sorting of the first years had just finished and James was sitting down at the long Gryffindor table with Sirius, Remus and Peter. Sirius was looking bored and was flicking some of his Treacle fudge at the second years. Remus was looking up at Dumbledore. Peter was whistling softly and James had his eyes on Lily.
Dumbledore stood up from his high-backed golden chair at the centre of the long staff table. He was smiling.
"I beg a few moments for your attention for the usual start of term notices," said Dumbledore. "Mr. Filch, the caretaker has reminded me to tell you all that magic is not permitted in corridors between classes. Also first years ought to know that the Forest in the grounds is out-of-bounds." Dumbledore stopped and he looked up at James, Sirius, Remus and Lupin who all exchanged smirks.
"I would also like you to acknowledge the Head boy and Head girl. Mr. James Potter and Miss. Lily Evans both from Gryffindor house are this years Head boy and girl."
There
was a deafening applause. James looked over at Lily who was beaming.
Why can't she just go out with me, he thought.
James then
looked over at the Slytherin table and saw Severus Snape's dark,
cold eyes glare at him. Snivellus, he thought.
There was a great banging and clattering all around them; Dumbledore had obviously just dismissed the school, because everyone was standing and ready to leave the great hall.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The Gryffindor common room looked as warming as ever, Lily was sitting on an armchair near the fire, braiding her best friends' Annie's hair.
"You can do it the quick way, you know." James said from behind her. He was grinning foolishly and flicked his wand. All of a sudden Annie's hair was finished and in a perfect braid.
Lily turned around and glared at him. "Oh well done Potter, you finally know how to do non verbal spells."
"Evans, I could always do non verbal spells."
Lily turned her back to James and started tying the end of Annie's braid with a hair tie. She watched James walk off to the table where Sirius, Remus and Peter were sitting.
"Just give him a go. He likes you a lot, Lily."
"Annie, no. no. No! He's a prat, he thinks he's great. He is so self obsessed."
Annie shook her head and laughed. Lily groaned and rolled her eyes. "Stop defending him. You go out with him then."
"You have to admit, he is good looking."
Lily blushed and said nothing. I'm going up to the dormitories to get my stuff, I'm going to have a bath."
"Ohh you're so lucky Lily," Annie said. "You get all those head girl privileges. I wish the rest of us could bath in that pool! I'd take Sirius in there with me."
Lily shrugged, "Who said you can't?" She grinned at Annie.
As Lily went up the spiral staircase of the girl dormitories, Annie saw James coming down from the boys dorms.
"Where's Lily?" James asked and he sat himself next to Annie.
"She's up in the girls dorms crying, you made her cry, you prat!"
"What did I --" James looked at Annie, his face all apologetic as she burst out in giggles.
James rolled his eyes. Immature git, he thought.
"I'm joking, she's gone to get her stuff. She's going to have a bath."
"Oh." James got up and walked off. His feet were taking him up to his dormitory. He had a brilliant idea.
James walked quickly to his trunk and started pulling out his invisibility cloak.
"Mate, where you going?" Sirius said as he was changing from his Hogwarts robes into his pajamas.
"No time to talk now."
James rushed past him and put on his invisibility cloak. He was going to have bath with Lily. He was going to use his invisibility cloak to get in to the bathroom itself.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Lily came down the spiral staircase of the girl dormitories a few minutes later. She had a towel in one hand and she had shampoo in the other. James spotted her and followed her out of Gryffindor tower. He was under his invisibility cloak.
They had finally reached the statue of Boris the Bewildered and James watched Lily lean close to the right door and mutter the password. James brushed past Lily as she bolted the door shut.
The bathroom was softly lit by a candle-filled chandelier, and everything was made out of white marble, including what looked like a rectangular empty swimming pool which was sunk into the middle of the floor. About a hundred golden taps stood around the pool's edges.
James stood in the far corner of the bathroom, and he was still under his invisibility cloak. He watched as Lily put down her towel and shampoo and the side of the swimming-pool-sized bath. He watched her take off her clothes and felt hot and his cheeks were very red. Deep down, he knew he shouldn't be watching but James couldn't take his eyes off her.
He watched her dive perfectly into the pool and as she got up back to the surface, her red hair was all back behind her. James let out a small gasp. She is so beautiful, he thought.
He had to get into the bath without Lily knowing.
-o-o-o
A/n: Till next time! How will James actually get into the bath without Lily knowing?
