Okay, I desperately needed to catch this up with the other site I post this on, so I'm just going to throw it all into one…

Lily's POV
"You're lying," I told him defiantly. "You aren't Head Boy."

"I'm afraid he is, Lily," said a soft voice, the voice I always associated with trust. The voice of Remus Lupin. I looked into his dark eyes, and saw nothing but truth there. He wouldn't lie to me. So I looked back at Potter, his eyes were sincere, also.

My insides were screaming. He couldn't' be Head Boy. Of all the guys it could have been, it had to be him! And guess what else? Head boy and Girl have to share a dorm! Isn't that great! I didn't want to believe it, but I knew it was true.

I turned back to my friends. Both had their mouths open in shock. They both knew very well how much I hated Potter. Returning to my senses, I told them, "Come on, we're leaving," in such a forceful tone that neither of them argued. We left quickly, striding down the worn street toward Flourish and Blotts. "Why does Potter have to come along and ruin the best day of the summer for me? It's not fair!" I screamed at them.

"We know, Lily. It's okay. Don't let him get to you," soothed Nikki.

"I guess I could just tell Dumbledore that I can't be Head Girl and he could-"

"No way! Absolutely not, Lil. You've worked too hard to get here to give it up just because of some stupid guy!" said Car. "We won't let you!"

"Fine, fine!" I shouted, trying to make them back off as we started paying for our books. "I won't! But it's still a revolting fact to think that I'll have to share a room with that idiot. I mean, really! "What was Dumbledore thinking?"

We finished shopping fairly quickly. We said our good-byes and then headed home, heavily laden with books and other school supplies. My mind was still on the revolting thought of sharing a room with Potter. Why did this happen to me?

James' POV
I sat there with Remus, Sirius, and Peter, finishing off my hot fudge sundae when it really hit me. I was going to get to spend a year sleeping in the same room as Lillian Marie Evans, my one true love. "I'm really going to share a room with her!" I exclaimed, realizing a little too late that I had said those last words out loud.

"Well, we can all see where Prong's mind has been all that time!" chortled Sirius. "I thought it was up in space, but how wrong I was! It was in a certain bedroom and with a special red-headed gir-"

"SHUT IT, PAD!" I yelled, attracting more attention to myself than I wanted.

"Sorry, couldn't help it!" said Sirius, still chuckling. Remus and Peter were laughing, too. My temper started to rise again.

"Yeah, Prongs. This is sure to be your year. She's destined to fall for you now." It was Remus who spoke this time. His eyes were serious and he wasn't smiling. This calmed me a little. At least one person was taking me seriously.

"Thanks, Moony. I sure hope so," I really meant it. I think Sirius was a little taken aback at my abrupt change of attitude. He stopped laughing and put on his serious face. That made me laugh. Sirius and serious just don't fit, if you get what I'm saying.

We shopped quickly, finding everything we needed fairly fast. Soon after, we were saying our good-byes and heading home.

Upon arriving at my humble abode, I sat down on my bed and began thinking about Lily. Pretty soon, sleep overtook me and I fell into wonderful dreams about a beautiful red-headed girl.

Lily POV
The next two weeks passed without much incident. I had pushed any thoughts about the Head Boy and Girl situation out of my mind and hadn't given it any further thought.

Today was the day I had been dreading and been looking forward to. It was the day when the Hogwarts Express took us back to the magical school. I wanted to be back at the castle, but this year would be different. Different because of a certain person whom I refuse to even think about.

I slowly got dressed in a pair of hip-huggers and a tight T-shirt. I put my hair up in a thick bun and then applyed some light make-up. I double-checked to make sure I had everything before lugging my trunk downstairs, through the living room, and out into my Dad's station wagon. He had agreed the previous night to drive me to King's Cross Station.

I went back inside for a quick breakfast. Twenty minutes later I heard my Dad come into the kitchen, still dressed in his pajamas. "Dad!" I exclaimed. "Why aren't you dressed? We have to leave soon! You promised me a ride, remember?"

"Oh, yeah," Dad said, trudging back upstairs to get dressed. Ten minutes later, he came back down looking much more awake and, thankfully, fully dressed.

I pulled him into the car as soon as I could, seeing as how we were already late. "Come on, Dad! Step on it!" I encouraged him.

By the time we finally arrived at King's Cross, I had just seven minutes to get on the train and find my friends. I was nervous. What if I missed the train? What would I do then? I tried not to think of that as I located the barrier and went through it so I was, at last, on Platform Nine and Three Quarters again.

Lily POV (cont.)
I looked around frantically for Car and Nikki. Relief spread through my whole body as I spottd Lynn's dark, wavy hair and dark complection. Looking down a little further, I also saw Nikki's short, frizzy hair. They seemed to have spotted my bright red hair as they were now waving frantically in my direction, beckoning me toward them. I made my way as quickly as possible through the thick mass of people toward the back of the train where my friends stood waiting.

As I reached them, everyone was silent. I quickly grabbed one end of my trunk, while Carolynn grabbed the other. Nikki grabbed up my owl, Nadia, and we raced up the stairs. I felt better now that we were on the train. It couldn't leave without us. Car stopped, catching her breath, I thought. "Lily," she said nervously. I was wondering why she was acting like this.

"Yeah?" I answered tenatively.

"I don't think you should go into our compartment without knowing, so I'm going to tell you now. You see, Nik and I were both late, and when we were looking for a compartment, we found there were no empty ones." I nodded, wondering where the heck this might be going. "So, we started looking to share a compartment, right? Well, no one would have us. We kept getting 'no's' from everyone, until we got to one compartment. They were the only ones who'd allow us to stay with them! Lily, I'm sorry! It's the Marauder's!"

Okay. Right now my life needs a major REWIND button. This is impossible. Potter and his goons are ruining my life! I wish they were never born! But I didn't let my feelings show to my friends. I put on a very forced smile and said, "It's okay." That was the biggest lie I had ever told. We continued toward our compartment in silence. I took a deep breath before I opened the door.

James POV
Lily walked in beside her friends, beautiful, as always. She had a small smile playing on her perfect lips. Man, I was glad to see her.

"Budge up, Potter. I get the seat by the window," Lily said in a very bossy tone.

I jumped willingly from my seat saying, "Anything for my lovely Lily flow-"

"Shut it, Potter. You know very well that I'm not yours nor will I ever be because you are an arrogant prat and are conceited and big-headed and I hate you!" I have to admit that I was hurt. She thought I was conceited. Oh, well, this year is my year, she's going to be mine.

Lookig around, I decided I didn't like the seating arrangement. I would be sitting next to Carolynn and Nikki, while Remus got to sit next to Lily. Nope, that would have to change. I sent a meaningful look acroos the aisle to Remus who seemed to have gotten the pont with an "oh" of comprehension. "Er-" he finished, getting up from his seat and switching me places. Perfect, now I was sitting by Lily. I let out a soft sigh.

"What are you doing over here, Potter?" asked Lily in a hateful tone.

"Just sitting and thinking. Why, is that against the law or something/" She didn't answer, so I just left it at that.

"Hey, Lil? What time is your meeting?" Nikki spoke this time.

"11:30. Why?" Lily answered. Why did she never use that pleasant tone with me?

"Because it's-" Nicole checked her watch, "-11:22 now."

"Oh! I've got to go. See you later, guys!" I sat there in shock. I had never heard Lily swear before. "Potter, even though I hate you, you're not going to be late and make me look bad. Come on!"

I jumped out of my seat so fast that if the chair hadn't been bolted to the floor, I was sure it would have been knocked over. I quickly followed her out the door.

Lily POV
I don't know what came over me. What did I care if Potter was late? How could that really look bad on me? He seemed to have noticed, too, for he asked me, "Since when do you acre about anything related to me?"

"I don't. I hate you, remember?"

"You can't hate me that much, otherwise you would have just left me there."

"Maybe I should have." I replied coldly, but I know in my heart that I didn't hate him. I don't know what it was, but something about James Potter, maybe the way his jet black hair fell into his eyes or maybe it was the way those gorgeous hazel eyes looked at me in a kind way, that almost seemed appealing. What? What was I saying? Potter? Appealing? Am I drugged? This was getting scary.

"Lily?" A chill went up my spine for some reason when he said my name.

"Mmm?" I replied, still extremely scared at my new perspective of the guy I had hated for six whole years.

"Look, I know you hate me, so don't think that hasn't sunk in. I'm not thick or anything. I just don't want to start this year off on the wrong foot. I know we're going to be spending a lot of time together this year, so, it's okay if you say 'no', but, can't we at least be friends?" I stopped and so did he. I looked him into those hazel eyes and saw nothing but sincerity there. Besides, it seemed a reasonable enough offer.

"Okay," I said softly, a small smile creeping over my lips. A grin spread across his face. "Thank you!" he exclaimed, and started coming closer. Okay, this was more than I had bargained for! He threw his arms around me and squeezed me tight. A smile could be spotted on my lips as I hugged him back. It felt good, secure, and I didn't want to let go, but I had to.

"Come on, we're going to be late," I said and we set off together again, this time, though, our smiles were evident.

Walking quickly, we soon arrived at the right carriage and the correct door. He was kind enough to open the door like a real gentleman. I walked inside and he followed, closing the door behind him.

Remus POV
I think we were all sitting there in shock of what had just happened. Lily help James! I didn't think it could ever happen! James must be feeling great about now! I can't wait for him to get back so I can see his face!

I looked around at Sirius. His mouth was open and he had a stunned look on his face. I gave him a look and he looked back. We understood each other perfectly. "HUH?" was the main phrase passed back and forth in our silent conversation.

Eventually, the conversation turned to girls. "Who do you like, Moony?"

"Actually, I kind of like Carolynn."

"Ask her out. I'm sure she'd say yes."

"No, I couldn't."

"Sure, you could. Just do it."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"YES!"

"FINE! Geez!"

Man, could expressions tell a lot. Through all of this, neither of us said a word aloud, but I think the girls noticed because they were looking at us funny. So was Peter. He had never gotten the whole 'silent conversation' thing.

This was it. I was going to ask Carolynn to be my girlfriend. I gave one last look at Sirius, warning him to keep quiet. He nodded, so I turned to Carolynn.

"Hey, Carolynn," I said nervously. I never was very good at this. You should have seen me last year when I asked Lily out; I was a mess. Even though that relationship didn't last, we learned a lot from it and I made one of my best friends in the world. I can trust Lily with anything... well, almost anything. Okay, back to Carolynn. "Can I ask you something?"

"You just did, Rem! DUH! But what else did you want to ask?" she said with a smile. God, she looked pretty with her dark brown hair pulled up into a loose bun and her chocolatey brown eyes shining with laughter.

"Wannabemygirlfriend?" I asked quickly, trying to back out of it, but she was too well-versed in quick talk and caught it all anyway.

"Oh, Rem! That's so sweet! Of course!" she said with another bright smile. I smiled, too, and put my arm around her waist. She didn't resist, so I didn't pull it back.

James POV
"Sorry we're late, Professor Dumbledore. It's all my fault, I swear!" I said. I saw Lily's brilliant smile out of the corner of my eye.

"No harm done, Mr. Potter. Shall I begin, then?"

"Yes, sir," said Lily, taking a seat at the table. I followed suit, sitting right next to her. For once, she didn't object. Whether this was because she really didn't mind or because the headmaster was there, I'd never know.

"So, first of all, congratulations! As you know you are an example to the whole school, so I expect exemplary behavior from you. As you also know, the Head Boy and Girl share a dormitory and bedroom. I expect this will not be a problem because you are both mature." I thought I heard Lily cough. "The dormitory is on the fourth floor, two doors to the right of the statue of Bodric the Bearded. The password is 'germoglio.' Your responsibilities are the same as they were while being a Prefect. Miss Evans, would you be so kind as to brief Mr. Potter on those responsibilities after my departure?"

"Of course, Professor," answered Lily. "I'd be happy to."

"Good. I leave you now and once you have finished discussing responsibilities, you may return to your compartments, but remember to patrol the halls every so often." Dumbledore left with a sweep of a cloak and Lily began listing responsibilities. Normally this stuff was boring, but having a normal conversation with Lily was definitely not boring.

"Okay, that's about it. You ready to go?"

"Sure, if you're coming along," I answered sweetly. She tried to hide her smile but I saw it anyway. "Let's go."

We headed off to our compartment together, and I was happier than I had been in a long time. I was so happy to be friends with Lily, I just couldn't help but smile.

Side note: You know that J.K. Rowling has very significant passwords to the Gryffindor common room. I loved the idea and decided to continue it into my story. Can anybody tell what the significance of this password is? Perhaps it will become more evident as you see the next passwords. They all tie together.

Lily POV
We walked into the compartment and the first thing I heard was a lot of giggles coming from Car. "What's going on in here?" I asked.

"Rem asked me out," giggled Lynn. Wow! That was a surprise. I knew Carolynn had a little crush on Remus, but I never knew Rem liked her back. And trust me, I knew quite a lot about Remus Lupin. We had gotten pretty close last year when we had gone out, and even though we split up, we were really good friends and knew we could trust each other.

"Yeah, and they've been, like, making out since," said Nik, bringing me back to reality. As if to prove Nikki right, Car leaned over and kissed Remus passionately, which, I noticed, he happily returned. I also noticed the pang of jealousy that I felt watching the two of them. Remus had made me so happy.

"Moony! Cut it out!" Sirius shouted. "You're not that kind of person! You've never done this before!"

Remus stopped kissing my best friend just long enough to say, "People change, Pad," then resumed his make-out session.

I yawned widely, watching everybody in the room. I sat down at my spot near the window.

"So, how was your meeting, Prongs?" asked Sirius.

"It was okay," James answered, glancing at me.

"Yeah, it was okay," I chipped in.

"Wait, you two agreeing on something? What's wrong?" asked Nicole.

"We can't agree on something without an explanation?"

"Nope."

"Well, we've decided to be friends, is that all right?" I questioned. Man, I had a headache! I rested my head on the wall.

"Friends?" everyone, including Car and Rem, exclaimed.

"Yes, now be quiet. Lily's trying to sleep," answered James, taking a seat beside me. As the train rattled on, I closed my eyes and soon sleep overtook me.

James POV
I looked over at Lily a few minutes later to notice that she had fallen asleep. She was so cute when she slept. Now there was nothing to do but talk, but I didn't feel like talking, so I rested my head on the wall behind me, preparing to follow Lily in the pursuit of wonderful dreams.

No one bothered me, so I was able to get tired pretty quickly. I was on the point of falling asleep when I felt something on my shoulder. I turned to see that Lily had shifted in her sleep and, in doing so, ended up with her head resting on my shoulder. I smiled and reached up to place some stray hairs behind her ear. I couldn't have moved her even if I wanted to; she looked so peaceful and happy.

Fully awake now, I looked around at the others. They were all staring at me. "What?" I mouthed before grinning at them all.

"Go, Prongs!" whispered Sirius. This caused Remus and Peter to laugh.

"Shh!" I said, putting a finger to my lips.

I won't deny it. I was in heaven. But, apparently, heaven can't last because fifty minutes later, I was forced to wake my angel so she could change for school.

"Lily," I said softly, tapping her on the shoulder. "Lily, get up"

"Umm," she answered, stirring. She opened her eyes and I think she was a little surprised to see her sleeping position for she sat upright really quickly.

"Lily, you need to change, we're almost at Hogwarts. I'm sorry I had to wake you, I really am."

"It's okay, I guess," she replied sleepily, tracking down her school clothes from her trunk. I stood up to do the same as she was leaving, supposedly going to the girls' toilets.
