Sir Delton
After dinner everyone headed towards their common rooms. Lily bid goodbye to her friends and left in search of the Heads common room. She walked down many corridors and passed many unknown passageways. Finally she came to a halt in front of a statue.
"I'm lost!" she exclaimed to no one in particular.
"I can see that" said an old voice from behind her. She recognized it immediately. She turned around to face her favourite Headmaster, Dumbledore. He looked a little older than last year but he hadn't lost that twinkle in his eyes that Lily loved to just look at.
"Miss. Evans-"
"Please Professor" interrupter Lily "Call me Lily" she said cockily.
Dumbledore smiled as he replied "Alright Lily may I know the reason why the Head Girl is having trouble finding her common room?"
"The Head Girl doesn't exactly know where it is"
"Why didn't she ask help from the Head Boy?"
"Well … the head boy is James Potter..."
"Is that really why?"
"Yes it is" she said and as a second thought she added "Professor"
"Why so?"
"Well Potter would just play a prank on me by telling me the wrong direction"
"Ah!" whispered Dumbledore as he conjured an egg "What is this?"
"An egg?"
"Yes and now?" he asked as he cracked it open.
"Yolk"
"Yes" said Dumbledore his eyes twinkling merrily behind his horn rimmed glasses "One might be strong in the outside like the egg but in the inside…." He trailed off on purpose.
"Oh" muttered Lily bluntly "So Professor, you mean to tell me Potter is actually good in the inside?"
"You must find out for yourself and by the way the common room is in the sixth floor, the portrait of Sir Delton" he said turning around to leave "and be nice to Delton. He's not much of a kind person" he winked at Lily as he left. She just looked at his back until he disappeared around corner.
She shook her head as she left in search for the common room again.
------------------------------------
"I said OPEN UP YOU STUPID PORTRAIT!" said James almost pouncing on Sir Delton. Lily turned around the corner. She smiled as she saw the portrait fighting with James. James turned around as he heard footsteps and saw Lily walking towards him. Hey nice smile… he thought
"Can't get him to open up huh?" asked Lily frowning at portrait. James was taken aback when she didn't scold or curse him. It felt good though.
"Yeah. Some portrait this thing is" said James deciding not to spoil their first civil conversation.
"Leave it to me" muttered Lily winking at James. He was surprised but didn't do anything but nod. "Ah! Kind Sir! What a wonderful night don't you think?"
"What do you want?" asked the portrait frowning.
"Nothing Sir! Such a wonderful man must be appreciated ever so often" at this James couldn't hold it. He burst out laughing. Lily stamped his foot so that he shuts up.
"Well…enough of praising…I feel-"
"And you are the most well dressed person I have ever seen in Hogwarts and your hair style is most certainly the best!"
"I- very well you may enter"
Lily smiled bowed dramatically. James followed suit and followed Lily in the common room where they burst out laughing. "Well dressed? He wears tights and a frock for Merlin's sake!" said James between his laughs.
"'Kind Sir!'" said Lily dramatically and burst into another fit of laughter. As the laughter died down they realized something.
"Wow, first civil conversation" said Lily looking surprised.
"Yeah and umm…. What do say we start over? I mean we are Heads and if we don't get along well…you know…" James trailed off.
"Okay" said Lily stretching out her hand "Lily Evans, sweetest girl in town" she said winking at James who shook her hand.
He grinned "James Potter, probably the hottest thing you have ever met"
Lily rolled her eyes as she smiled. A genuine smile. "So we're cool?"
"We're cool"
"Alright then Potter-"
"James. Call me James"
"Okay. 'Night James" said Lily before she entered the room on the right side which he understood to be her room as it was written Lily Evans in bold letters.
"Night Lily" muttered James before he disappeared into his own dorm.
----------------------------------
"Mr. Black would explain love in a few lines?" Professor McDonald, their Muggle studies teacher, asked Sirius, who was busy talking to Remus. He stood up when he heard his name.
"Can you repeat the question Professor? I was just getting over the fact that James and Evans agreed to be civil to each other" said Sirius looking happy. The whole class including the Ravenclaws stared at the two Heads. Lily blushed as James winked at the girls. The Marauders sat behind Lily, Alex, Matt and Joe.
"Coming back to our topic… Mr. Black explain 'love' in a few lines"
"Love?" asked Sirius who didn't exactly know what the professor was teaching. Anyway he continued "Love is a feeling…an emotion. L stands for…lovely...O for… 'o'wesome…V for 'v'onderful… E for…hmm…ENERGETIC!" finished Sirius looking pleased with his attempt.
"Thank you Mr. Black. That was very…different" said Professor McDonald regretting ever asking Sirius.
"What's so funny Evans?" whispered Sirius leaning on his table, as he had heard Lily and Alex laugh.
"Just the V'onderful description of love" said Alex turning around so that she could look at Sirius directly in the eye, while Lily continued laughing.
"Class I want a foot long essay on Muggle Classics by Monday" said the professor.
"Great! More love!" sighed Peter as he got up.
"Just crap" said Joe as he stood up and stretched. James laughed as he gathered his belongings –cards, papers of tic tac toe and a bowl of muffins.
"Muggle Studies is the best place to chill out" said James following Alex out of the room.
"Yeah and the best subject to fail in" Remus put in his words of wisdom.
"I like Muggle Classics" said Lily taking out a crushed piece of parchment from her bag, she handed it to Matt who was walking beside her. "They are pretty interesting. Don't you think so Matt?"
"Is that a trick question?" asked Matt reading the piece of parchment and showing a thumbs up sign to Lily. He then threw it into the ground forgetting to erase what was written on it. The person walking behind him, who was unfortunately James, picked it up and put it into his pocket casually.
---------------------------------------
As soon as he ate his lunch, James excused himself from the others claiming that he had to 'give the boys bathroom a visit'.
He quickly opened the parchment and read it…
Need to talk. Meet me at the kitchen at 12:00 pm
…a smile spread across his face. This is going to be fun…he thought as he pocketed the note and left the bathroom grinning like an idiot.
