At the school, Dumbledore made announcements before dinner. He asked the students to please be cautioned of the Dark Lord, and to also stay out of the Forbidden Forest. He also asked to speak to the Head Boy and Girl right after dinner. The students all ate and enjoyed their dinner. Afterwards, James and Lily headed to the front of the dining hall. Dumbledore and the two heads walked up the staircases to the Heads' room, all the while Dumbledore explaining the job to them. He showed them that they needed a password, one that they got to create for their Heads' house. He then smiled as he left the two to think about what he'd done.
He laughed to himself and thought, 'Yes. I do believe I made the right choice with these two. I give it about a month…'
"How about…Lily Evans is James Potter's sex toy," he kidded.
Lily just gave him a warning look. "Only kidding, he said. "How about…oh! I;ve got it! The Divine Marauder?"
He chuckled to himself as the portrait swung open when Lily agreed hastily. They stopped dead in their tracks when they got inside. Inside their common room, was the most luxurious area they had ever seen. They were living in royalty, these two were. Satin and silk, famous and expensive furniture, housing, etc. Their rooms had their names on them, and were just about as big as the common room itself. The entire Heads' HOUSE was amazing.
They had both just settled in when they realized that they had duties. They went to go patrol the corridors from 9:30 – 11, and came back and hour and a half later, exhausted. They hadn't talked much. As a matter of fact, they had barely said a word to each other all day, since the kiss that is. Back in the common room, James found Lily lying on the couch, face down. She seemed to be fast asleep. He walked over to her quietly, kissed her hair, and whispered, "Goodnight, Lily."
The first real day of school was pretty easy. Lily had taken most of the courses in her sixth and fifth years, so she had half as many classes as the years before. She actually had time during the day to just go sit and relax. She found a nice, quiet spot in the Forbidden forest that she occasionally went to. After duties one night, she went there instead of to the Heads' room or Gryffindor room. James got worried about her, grabbed the Marauder's map, and set out to get her. He changed into his Prongs form, and saw her doing homework by moonlight. He came up as Prongs, and she talked to him. He carried the sleepy Lily back up to her dorm, as James, and collapsed on the couch, Lily still in his arms. He laid down, her head rested on his chest, and he fell asleep.
Lily woke up the next morning, still on James' chest, and a strange feeling overcame her. She had had a dream where James had turned from a stag back into himself…She looked up to him. She smiled, wondering if it could be real.
'It sure would explain a lot,' she thought.
He woke up a moment later, and looked at her. He smiled and sat himself and her up to sitting position. He recognized her smile of thanks, and watched as she walked off to breakfast.
