James and Lily walked down the seventh floor corridor. They were trying to find the Head's Dormitories. They had a piece of parchment that had directions on it written in slanted writing, known as Professor Dumbledore's. The entrance to the Head's Dorms was to be the tenth portrait on the right hand side. James and Lily counted the portraits quietly. They paused at the tenth portrait. It was a portrait of Godric Gryffindor.
As they approaced, Godric asked them, "Password?" James looked down at the parchment.
"Ruby Lion." Lily stated. Godric swung open and they stepped in. They had looks of awe on their faces. The Common Room was huge. Bookcases lined the walls, and the window gave a good view of Hogsmeade. There was a roaring fire, two chairs placed infront of it, a coffee table behind those, and a comfortable couch behind that. The door on the left read "James Potter" and the door on the right said "Lily Evans". They looked in Lily's room first. The walls were painted red with agolden trim. There was a queen sized bed with red and gold striped bed sheets. There was a bookcase on the wall across from the bed, and a door next to the bookcase. In the corner was a mahogany desk. There was another door next to the door beside the book case. On the wall to the right of the bed (the bed was pushed up on one wall and sort of in the center of the room) were French styled doors which led to a balcony. The door beside the bookcase was a closet, and the door beside the closet was teh bathroom. The bathroom had a bathtub that was a bit smaller than the one in the Prefect's Bathroom on the 5th floor, and there was a shower with a switch that made the doors fog up. (Like the bathroom stalls that were on Real World: Austin.) They looked into James' room which was basically the same. Lily went back to her room to unpack.
Once she left, James started hanging up posters of famous Quidditch players. On the bedside table, he placed a picture of his family, and a picture of Lily. He unpacked his trunk with a wave of his wand and took a nice warm bath. He heard a giggle, and looked at the toilet. He saw Moaning Myrtle who squealed and left. James shrugged it off and continued relaxing.
Once in her room, Lily waved her wand and all of her things became unpacked. She took her bathing supplies into the bathroom and took a shower. She dried herself off, and dressed in black track pants and a pink t-shirt. She started reading "Standard Book of Spells: Grade 7". After about an hour of reading she closed the book and slept.

James' eyes fluttered open. Someone was saying his name in a beautiful voice, and was nudging him in the side. He grabbed his glasses and shoved them on. Lily was standing in front of him. He glanced at the clock. It was eight thirty. Breakfast would be over soon.
"Finally you're awake!" Lily said and left. James threw on his clothes, ruffled his hair, grabbed his satchel and shoes and began heading out the door, hopping on one foot trying to get his shoes on. He tripped on the stairs and fell down. Lily saw, gasped, and rushed over to him.
"Are you alright?" she asked. He had a bloody nose and a lump on his head. She mended his nose, and made the lump go away. He finished tying his shoes and stood up.
"I'm fine." said James, who turned pink in embarassment. Lily rolled her eyes, but smiled nonetheless. She grabbed her satchel and they walked out the door together. When they got their, McGonnagal handed them their schedules and Lily sat down with Katie and Nikki. They all had the same classes. Katie, who loved coffee, was on about her tenth cup already. Before she could pour another cup, Nikki snatched away the pot.
"Are you trying to have a heart attack?" Nikki pointed out, and Katie went for the orange juice instead.
Sirius and James were in a good conversation about Quidditch. James had been made the Gryffindor Quidditch Team Captain last year. Katie was humming "Rush" by Aly&AJ, and Lily and Remus were talking about politics. Nikki was in deep thought about this guy she liked. His name was Troy Jones. He was a 7th year Ravenclaw and a Prefect. He had shaggy brown hair, blue eyes, and an American accent. He had a really nice body and was a Quidditch player. Troy looked at Nikki, who was staring at him. He flashed her a toothy smile with his perfect white teeth. Nikki smiled shyly back and went pink. She pretended to be interesting in her bacon and when she looked up he was talking to his best friend, Chad Bleu. Chad was black and had a curly afro. He also played Quidditch. The bell rang and Katie, Lily, and Nikki grabbed their satchels and headed to Transfiguration with the Ravenclaws.
During Transfiguration, Katie and Lily sat behind Nikki. They had seen her staring at Troy and decided to try to get him to sit next to her. James and Sirius took the table behind Remus and Peter. Chad sat with his girlfriend Monique McKessie, and there were no more seats left. Troy spotted the seat next to Nikki and sat there. Nikki stiffened and focused on Professor McGonnagol. Troy's hand touched Nikki's when he reached into his satchel. She went pink and stared at the board. Troy looked at her and saw that she was blushing. He looked at their hands touching and he took his hand away. He mumbled a "Sorry" and focused on his notebook. Nikki had her hair half up half down, and straightened. She was wearing some foundation to cover up her acne. The bell rang signaling the beginning of the class period.
"Good morning students." Professor McGonnagol greeted. "Today we will be working on transfiguring your desks into another object. The incantation is La Forte. Here is a demonstraition." She took out her wand and cleared one of the desks up front. "La Forte." The desk turned into a quill.
"The incantation to change it back to a desk is Le Dooske." McGonnagol transfigured the quill back into a desk. "Please get started."
Lily and Katie got it on their second tries. Lily turned it into a pair of glasses. Katie turned it into a bar of soap. Nikki couldn't get it. Troy got it on his thried try. He turned it into a brookstick. He was watching Nikki struggle.
"Do you need some help?" he offered. She nodded, not looking at him. He stood behind her and grabbed her hand that she was holding her wand in. She smiled slightly.
He moved her wand in a circle and flicked it, and she said the incantation. It turned into parchment. He moved her wand in a counterclock-wise circle and flicked it, and she said the other incantation. It turned back into a desk. She grinned and turned around facing him.
"Thanks!" she said excitedly. She smiled at him, and he smiled back. Troy just fell in love with a girl by the name of Nikki Coleman. The bell rang, and they gathered their stuff and walked out of the door. Lily, Nikki, Katie, and the Marauder's headed to Potions with the Slytherins. They took a seat at the only desk that fits three people. The front and center one. They got their Potion kits and cauldrons ready and waited for the bell to ring.
While waiting, Katie took note about how Nikki was smiling really big. She said, "Did someone cast a spell on you or something?"
"Nope." Nikki answered.
"Then why are you smiling so big?" asked Katie.
"I fell in love." Nikki replied. The bell rang and Professor Slughorn set them to work on making Draught of Living Death.
