The sorting had finished and Dumbledore stood up and said, "Welcome students and welcome back old students. I just have a few start of term announcements. One being, the forbidden forest is off limits to ALL students. Two there is to be no magic in the corridors. Three I would like to introduce our Head Students; James Potter and Lily Evans. Finally there is going to be a beginning of the year ball in two weeks. Alright, I'm sure you all are hungry so that's all I will say for now. Let the feast begin."
"So James, does you being Head Boy mean no more pranks?" Frank asked.

"Of course not, we will just have to cut them down a bit," James said smiling.

"Sirius why haven't you had a girlfriend since the end of fifth year?" Peter asked filling his plate with food.

Lindsy's eyes widened slightly and Lily about choked on her pumpkin juice.

Sirius was desperately trying to make himself invisible when James said, "Yeah Sirius, come to think of it I don't remember seeing you talking about any girls."

"Don't worry I caught him plenty of times last year in different broom closets and the astronomy tower with different girls. Remember Remus?" Lily said looking at Remus with the 'you better agree or your dead look' and then winking secretly at Lindsy.

"Oh yeah, I remember, we embarrassed him so bad, I didn't think he was going to talk to me," Remus said laughing.

Sirius catching on said, "I still could kill you for all those times Remus and Lily."

"Padfoot why didn't you tell us about all those times?" James whined.

"Because Remus really embarrassed me and I didn't want anyone to know."

"Fine, but what was the girl's name who you snogged on the train? We are your best friends, we have a right to know," Peter said.

"Can't tell you, all I can say is she was a great snog and I would even consider dating her and staying with to her," Sirius said.

"Must be special then," Jen said kind of distracted.

"I don't know about the rest of you but I am stuffed and would love to get back to my common room and go to sleep," Lindsy said getting up.

"I second that," Alice said following Lindsy.

"I'm going to," Jen said.

The boys stood up and Sirius said, "Lilykins, Prongs, are you coming?"

"No, we have our own common room, away from you gits," Lily said jokingly.

"Aww, well then, hey Potter," Sirius said.

"What Padfoot," James said.

"Not you, the good looking one. Lindsy what's say you and I find a nice broom closet?"

"Not a chance Black, not a chance," Lindsy said.

"Padfoot if you don't quit hitting on my sister, I'm going to show you just how bad my hexes are," James threatened.

"Sod off James, if Sirius wants to hit on me let him. It's harmless. The day I go into a broom closet with him is the day that Lily becomes your girlfriend."

Sirius looked crestfallen, at least to the unknowing, and said, "Well that will never happen.

With that comment Lily looked towards James to see a look of sadness in his eyes. But there was something else she just couldn't put her finger on what it was though. He really has grown up over the summer; maybe I will give him a chance. I'll go to the dance with him if he asks me. I hope he does ask me. Wait did, I just think that? Do I like James Potter? Oh my I think I have just fallen for him. When did this happen? 'You've always fancied him, don't you dare deny it,' was what Lindsy said on the train. She was right, I have always fancied him. All the yelling at him and telling him I hated him was just to hide my true feelings for him…

"Lily are you alright? You spaced out there for a second," James said, his voice full of concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a bit tired," Lily said still thinking.

"Well then let's go to the common room. It's this way," James said.

"I thought I was on the seventh floor?" Lily said a bit confused as to why James wasn't going up the stairs.

"I know a short cut, unless you want to walk all the way up those stairs," James said with a smirk.

"Well, Potter lead the way," Lily said smirking back at James who just smiled.

"This way Evans," James said as he muttered something and they slipped behind a portrait.

James and Lily made their way through the corridor and came out in front of the portrait that led to the Head's Common Room.

"Excuse me, we are the new Head Student's and we would like to get into our common room," James said to the portrait.

"Why of course, but first what are your names, houses, and the password?"

"I'm Lily Evans, and this is James Potter, we are both Gryffindors and the password is true love conquers all."

"Correct, now in you go."

"Thank you," James said as the two of them entered.

Lily looked around and saw a spectacular sight. The fire place was blazing and there was two chairs, a couch, a loveseat, and a coffee table in front of the couch all around it. There was a desk made for two over by the window and two flights of stairs, one on the right leading to Lily's dorm and one on the left leading to James' dorm.

"It's so beautiful," Lily said as her eyes continued to wander around the common room.

"Not as beautiful as you," James said starring longingly at Lily.

Lily blushed and said, "I'm going to go see what my room looks like."

"Yeah, I guess I will too," James said as he turned towards his set of steps.

Lily reached the top of the stairs and before going into her room she turned and said, "Goodnight, James."

"Goodnight Lily," James replied and walked into his room.

In the Gryffindor Common Room

"It's going to be odd not having James and Lily here with us," Lindsy said.

"I know what you mean," Jen said and then turned to Remus and said, "I'll see you in the morning."

Remus kissed her and said, "Yes, see you then." And with that Jen walked up the girls stairs.

"Yeah, I guess I had better turn in too. I'll see you all at breakfast in the morning," Alice said and then walked up to Frank kissing him and then saying, "I love you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Alice. I love you too," and then Alice went up to bed.

"Good night everyone and Black please keep me out of your dreams," Lindsy said as she walked up to the girls dorm.

"Goodnight, everyone," Frank said and he walked up to the stairs.

"Yes goodnight," Peter said quickly following Frank.

Sirius started to walk up the stairs, but was pulled back by Remus, "Yes Moony?"
"How long?"

"What do you mean how long?" Sirius asked looking clueless.

"Don't play dumb with me Padfoot, how long?"
"I don't know what your talking about?"

"Bloody hell Padfoot? How long have you been snogging Prongs' sister?" Remus said exasperated.

"I'm not Moony. Prongs would kill me," Sirius said putting on his best indigent face he could muster.

"Sirius I'm not going to tell Prongs. If Lindsy and you want to date then that is between you two, but don't you dare stand here and lie to me after I covered for you."

"Alright but you have to swear not tell anyone."

"I swear I won't tell a soul. Although it looks like Lily knows. Which by the way isn't a bad thing; I mean she did cover for you."

"Okay, well we have been together since the end of fifth year."

"What? How have you been about to keep it a secret for that long?"

"Carefully, at least I thought it was carefully."

"Don't worry so much Padfoot, guaranteed only Lily and I know. The whole act you two have going is great. If Lily wouldn't have made me help her cover for you then I wouldn't have even thought anything was going on with the two of you. And I promise that Prongs won't find out from me, but you do need to tell him. I mean it is his sister and you know how protective of her he is."

"I know I just don't know how to tell him. I can't just walk up to him and say, 'hey Prongs, how are you, by the way I've been snogging your sister since the end of fifth year.' Now can I?"

Remus chuckled and said, "No, but I'm sure you will be know how when the time is right. Now I'm going to bed. Have fun dreaming of Lindsy and how Prongs is going to kill you when he finds out about the two of you," and he walked up the stairs.
