Chapter One

There they were. Lily Evans and James Potter staring at each other from opposite sides of the Heads Compartment. Lily gazing at James with a look of loathing, James with the lovesick grin he usually wore when Lily was around.

Lily didn't dare believe what she had just been told. Apparently James Potter was to be Head Boy. This wasn't good, as she had been selected as Head Girl and it was well known that she loathed James Potter, and could NOT work with him under any circumstances.
James, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with joy. It was well known he had fancied Lily Evans since third year, when he had realised that she was the only one who could not resist his charm. Over the years, he had tried to win her over, but she never gave in, and every time he asked her out (around five times a day), she had declined. This had only encouraged James and his liking for her grew and grew, and now he wanted her for one reason, and one reason only; the person she was. Not so he could use her, like she thought. He admired the way she was almost always top in every class, but Transfiguration. He admired how she was so determined and would not give up easily. He admired her sparkling emerald eyes and auburn hair, her beauty. He admired how she was kind to almost everyone, even Slytherins. He admired how she loathed him, a difficult task for most girls. He wanted her, but, being the 'egotistical prat' he was, it was going to be a difficult task for him.

"So let me get this straight," Lily said, eyeing James's dishevelled hair and crinkled shirt, 'Surely this is a Joke', "Your Head Boy? Its just not funny, pretending, James." she said warily as if talking to a toddler. James's grin grew even more.

"Why would I lie to you, Evans?" he said arrogantly, messing up his already messy black hair. "See look!" he said pointing to the 'Head Boy' badge displayed on plain white shirt. "It says 'Head Boy'! That means I am 'Head Boy.'" he said happily to Lily.

"I can see what it says, Potter, I'm not stupid. How do I know it isn't Remus's?" she replied coldly.

"Use your common sense, Flower. Remus, being the responsible little boy he is, would have jumped into the compartment, first chance he got. Do you see him now? Why would he play a trick like this when this is what he's wanted ever since first grade?" said James smoothly. "Don't get me wrong, I mean, I like Remus and all…"

"Sure wouldn't think that, the way your going on about him. Its almost like your jealous. Remus actually has a heart, Potter. He's responsible and hardworking. You, on the other hand… well, you may be a hard worker, but you have no feelings towards others. Its all 'Me, me, me!'. As for responsibility… well, I can't see why you would have been chosen as Head Boy. Hexing everyone in sight! Messing up your hair for no reason! Flirting with all the girls! Being an annoying bloody prat! Its all wrong! I was hoping you would have changed. Your seventeen!" spat Lily, voice rising with every word she spoke. She hated him. How could you not hate him? He may be good looking… very good looking in fact - uh - but there was nothing to like about him in his personality, that she knew of.

"That's a bit harsh, Evans. We all have a heart, and I do think of other people… I think of you." said James in no particular way. Just as Lily was about to speak, Professor McGonagall entered the compartment with her usual tight bun, green robes and stern look.

"I hope you are both getting along, as you will be working together all year! You must organise the Christmas ball - yes, Ms Evans, a Christmas ball -, you must organise prefect meetings, patrols, set a good example -"

"Yes, yes Professor.." interrupted James sounding extremely bored after Professor McGonagall's 5 second lecture, "We understand completely! We'll just go and tell all the prefects the passwords now." he continued, running a hand through his hair, much to Lily's disgust. "Where are they?" he said looking around the compartment.

Lily stifled a laugh at his stupidity, sparing a glance at the papers clutched tightly in McGonagall's hand .

"Mr Potter, I have already given the prefects the passwords. You two could be heard arguing from here to their compartment. I thought I'd save you two the embarrassment." she said eyeing them sternly. Lily could barely conceal a blush of embarrassment and averted her gaze from the Professor to the floor.

"That's right." said Professor McGonagall sternly. "Now, we have 30 minutes until we arrive at Hogwarts, I suggest you both change into your school uniforms immediately." and without another word, she turned on her heel and walked swiftly into the corridor, the door sliding shut behind her.

Lily stood up and searched her pockets for her wand. She waved it at herself and her muggle clothes were immediately charmed into the Hogwarts uniform. She hastily waved her wand at James and stepped out into the corridor.

"So, is Evans Head Girl?" asked the boy named Sirius Black. He had big grey eyes and long dark hair, with quite a broad chest… needless to say, he was gorgeous, and along with his friend James, they were one of the most the most handsome boys in the school.

"Yeah…" said James, ruffling his coal black hair, hazel eyes sparkling with excitement."I hope you're not going to abuse your position James." said a boy named Remus Lupin, hoarsely. He was a tall boy, with sandy brown hair, and very light blue eyes. There was more to this boy than meets the eye; he was a werewolf. Though this did not change a single one of his friends opinions if him. He was a nice person, very quiet, and sometimes underestimated.

"Of course not!" James said, bewildered.

"Famous last words," sniggered Sirius quietly while winking to a girl walking past who stumbled and fell face first onto their glass door compartment, causing Remus to turn his head to the window and chuckle, James to snort and Sirius to jump to his feet and help the girl.

Lily sulked into her compartment and sat across from her friend, Rose Hayden.

Rose was her best friend in Hogwarts; they did everything together. Rose had an oval shaped face with plump pink lips shaped like Cupids Bow. A round nose sat in the middle of her face, and she bore tumbling, waist-length shiny copper hair. She had such transparent eyes that it was hard to tell what colour they were, and her pale cheeks encouraged it.
Words couldn't describe this girls personality… complete randomness would just about sum it up. Lily had never met anyone like her.

"Well? Is Severus the new Head Boy?" Rose asked Lily, winking.

"Lets… not talk about that." said Lily, whose almond shaped, breathtaking emerald green eyes appeared dull and tired.

"Hah!" snorted Rose, "You know I can't go a minute without saying something unless I'm meeting someone new, and if I haven't said something in over a minute I'm usually the one to say something and make a fool out of myself. So… let's talk about it." she said slowly. Yes. She had the maturity level of a seven year old when she wanted to have fun, but was otherwise very mature… especially when maturity was needed.

"Ugh. Fine. I have one word to say to you, and hopefully you'll be able to put two and two together. Here it is, so listen closely… POTTER!" Lily grumpily.

"That made no sense whatsoever, Lily! Two and two is four, and what has Potter got to do with this? I'm asking a simple question. Who is Head Boy?" though Rose knew perfectly well what Lily had meant, and did that for the sole purpose of torturing Lily, who let out a scream of frustration, though couldn't help but smile.

"Shut-up. Shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up!"

Rose smiled and continued, "Gee… Potter, eh? Next thing I know you two will be going out… then you'll marry each other and have little green eyed babies!" squealed Rose, squeezing her hands together and displaying slightly yellow teeth. Lily looked about ready to vomit.

"Ten minutes until we arrive at Hogwarts!" came the magnified voice of Professor McGonagall.

Lily and Rose were just walking out of the Great Hall, after the opening feast, when James came running after Lily.

"Lily!" he said, panting.

Rose and Lily both turned around, and Roses hair whipped James on the side of the mouth.

"You might not want to come so close, James." said Rose, grabbing a fistful of her own hair to make sure no spit or anything of the kind was left there from James' mouth, "Oh, sorry, are you alright?" she asked. James was just about to open his mouth to reply, but Lily interrupted.

"What is it, Potter?"

"Oh, we were asked to meet Dumbledore, in his office… now." He said, looking a bit dazed.

"Oh dear," said Rose suddenly, "those first years looked lost! Poor things! I'll go and help them. See you guys later!" and in a flurry of copper hair, narrowly missing James, she turned around and vanished, leaving only Lily and James.

"What for?" asked Lily suspiciously.

"Don't ask me. I suppose something about our Head Duties." shrugged James.

So together, they made their way cautiously to the Gargoyle, guarding Dumbledores office.

"Evans," James whispered, "What's the password?"

"Um… try Chocolate Frogs." at the words, 'Chocolate Frogs', the statute of the Gargoyle hopped aside for them, and they both stepped onto the sliding stairs.

In the silence, James wiggled his arm around Lily's shoulders, which was slapped away rather harshly by Lily. James grunted and knocked at the door to Dumbledores office.

"Come in.." Lily and James stepped into the circular blue room, lined with portraits, and home to many peculiar objects, known as Dumbledores Office.

Dumbledore acknowledged them with a nod and launched straight into conversation.

"Now Mr Potter, and Ms Evans, I am quite sure that you think this is to do with you Head Duties. Well, you are partly right and partly wrong. Please, take a seat." he said, pointing to two chairs that were not there before, but which Lily and James sat down on obediently.

"I am aware that this is all rather short notice, but I feel it is best for something to be done sooner rather than later. I am unsure of whether you are aware of the amount of crime that occurs at Hogwarts, and rule-breaking." Dumbledore paused, and Lily and James shook their heads, though James lips had tilted upwards a little. "Crime being stealing, rule-breaking being graffiti, blackmailing, and, well, I'm sure you would know some of the rules at Hogwarts. Anyway, let's just say a fair amount has been happening, and now with Voldemort recruiting everyone he can, even perhaps Hogwarts students as suspected, there will be much more trouble here. We thought, we being Hogwarts staff, that the Head Boy and Girl should set more of an example. We would like for you two to almost be in charge of these, hmm… happenings. That meaning that if a rule has been broken, the 'victim' will come to you, and you will figure it out and report them. Not only does it save time for teachers, but it means that you are helping people, setting a great example, and if I may say so, its quite a bit of fun to string everything together. I know it's a bit on the spot but, what do you say?" Dumbledore finished, his eyes sparkling with expectation.
Lily and James shared a look.

"We'll do it."
