Authors note: Well….Here's chapter 4. Um…If you read it and like it, would you tell me :-D Enjoy:
"Happy birthday dear twins, Happy birthday to you," Everyone but James and Nerissa sang. Mrs. Potter placed a huge chocolate cake in front of the twins with 34 candles. Both Nerissa and James blew out the candles in one breath.
"So what did you wish for?" Lily asked Nerissa,
"You know if I tell you it won't be true," Nerissa said.
"Kids, your letters are here," Mr. Potter said from the kitchen. "Here's one for you Remus,"
"Thank you,"
"Sirius,"
"Thanks,"
"Lily,"
"Thank you Mr. Potter,"
"Nerissa,"
"Thank you Daddy,"
"And James,"
"Thanks Dad, this feels a little heavier then usual," James said. Mine too, Lily thought Odd
"Well, why don't you open them after we eat cake," Mrs. Potter said. Everyone agreed by eating their cake in a rapid rush.
"Can we open them now?" Nerissa asked.
"Ahh, the last Hogwarts letter we'll ever get," Remus said sliding his finger under the wax seal. That's right.. Lily thought to herself Well, all the more reason to open it, She quickly broke the wax seal and drew out a piece of parchment.
Dear Ms. Evans,
We're pleased to tell you that you have been
accepted into
Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We
expect your reply within
the next week
We are also pleased to inform you, that you have
been selected as
Head Girl of the school. Please report to the
very first cart on the train to
have a chat with some of the professors. Enclosed
is your head girl badge
Which you must wear on the outside of your robes
at all times.
Sincerely,
Professor Minerva McGonagall
Oh my… Lily thought
"Bloody hell!" James yelled bringing Lily out of her trance.
"What's wrong Jamesy? They finally kick you out of school?" Sirius asked.
"Worse, they made me Head Boy," James said
"WHAT!" Everyone yelled.
"That can't be possible. How, what, you can't be head boy!" Lily yelled.
"And why not Ms. Evans?"
"Because, that means I'm stuck with you most of the year!" Lily sat down in her seat and put her head in her hands.
"Wait, Lils, you're head girl?" Nerissa asked.
"Yes," She sobbed.
"I KNEW IT!" Nerissa said "Oh Lils, this is wonderful! You'll have to plan some balls, maybe one formal, one informal. Oh this years going to be wonderful!"
Not for me…Lily thought to herself.
"So let's see your badge," Mrs. Potter said. Lily pulled the badge out of her envelope. It had an H on it and the background was the four house colors divided like a shield. Soon Mrs. Potter started rambling about her old days back at Hogwarts and during this Lily zoned out.
Could this really be fate like what Nerissa said? It can't be though, I hate James Potter. He's a prick! A complete prick, who plays jokes on every single student. It's like he devotes his life to humiliating people. Well he has changed a tad over the summer, you can tell yourself. No, it's just a joke! This year's going to be complete hell.

That night Lily couldn't sleep at all. She tried to, she would think of the books she was reading and yet somehow each time it headed back to James Potter. Sure she loved the fact that she was the Head Girl, but with James Potter as the head boy? She looked at Nerissa with envy. As usual, she was in deep sleep snoring away. Lily got out of bed, grabbed her book and headed to the living room. A good read will help me sleep.
Lily was soon lost into the world of her book. But her bliss of not having to think about James was short lived for soon he came into the living room.
"What are you doing up?" He asked taking a seat in the leather arm chair.
"Couldn't sleep," She muttered.
"Me either, couldn't stop thinking about how great this years going to be. I thought that the head girl would be some stuffy girl from Slytherin or something. I'm glad you're head girl,"
Lily didn't say anything, she only thought, Who is this boy? Where is James?
"Plus, now we can slack off and they'll never know," He said relaxing.
"Look James, I don't know when you started thinking we were best friends, but being head boy in girl will be strictly business. We were given this honor, and I expect to fulfill it!" Lily was staring him right in the face, directly into his deep hazel eyes.
"Your eyes are beautiful," He noted. Lily stepped back, gave him a glare and ran back upstairs and slid into bed.
