LILY"S POV

I came into my dorm room and changed back into my pajamas, using my wand to clean off my makeup, every intention on going back to bed, hoping to wake up and have the morning be a dream. Haha, I wish I had that much good luck. Wait… What did I just do??? I just kissed James Potter!

Oh my gosh, I'm so screwed!! Well… so is more than half the school but… ughhh… Why? Why did I kiss him?

That's not the right question to ask yourself, now is it? Whoa! Who the hell was that!?

Who the hell are you?

I'm your conscience…

No way! That's so cool!

Hmm… Never quite got that reaction…

What's your name? Can I call you Bob?

No you can't.

Go away, your mean.

I'm here to help you, tell you what wrong and right. Together, we can achieve great things! We-

What did you mean that's not the right question?

Well…( it/he/she sounded a bit upset that I didn't let him/her finish her justice, feel good speech/lecture)

Well…

Well…the right question is…Why did you like it?

What??!!! That's crazy! I didn't like it! That's why I ran from the hall. I didn't like it. It was probably just… I don't know. I didn't like it. That's for sure.

Or maybe you ran from the hall because you knew that you like it.

I did not like it.

Did too.

Did not.

Did too.

Did not!!

……..

………

………

Did too.

I don't like you at all go away!

Fine, fine, feisty…red heads…

GO!

I'm going… I'm going…

Maybe I'm going insane; talking to myself… maybe that's it. Maybe if I go and lie down for a while it will go away and I'll be ok again. I'll still be married though. Ughhh…

Kay came out of the Bathroom looking like little miss perfect, makeup done and her hair in a neat ponytail coming out of the back of her head, singing a song from Annie about the sun coming out. She spotted me and twirled and danced her way over to me while saying, "Lils!!! Get you lazy butt out of bed we're going shopping!!" she stopped twirling and stared at me with her blue eyes. I mean that's just amazing she was just grumpy, her hair was messed up as hell, and she looked like Frankenstein's bride! And now she looks like one of those people on the cover of a magazine, laughing and smiling. It's like she had a serious paradigm shift.

Me, however, do not have my makeup done and am in a rather foul mood now that there is voices in my head speaking with me… maybe it was my grandma… she was always telling me which was right and wrong. It's grandma back from the dead! Ahhh…

Kay didn't even look dismantled that I didn't follow her delightful suggestion. Her Barbie face just went from happy to like…challenge? Uh oh, she's going into her nu uh you didn't phase. This is not good.

"So… What I want to know is, are you going to shower on your own, or am I going to have to HELP you?" she put her hands on her hips like she was scolding a child.

Swallowing I scoot back onto my bed, hoping that Kay was joking… She wasn't. She stepped forward in her Marykate heels she got at maces for full price. (Her family is rich and now that she's with Sirius, they are gonna be like the richest people in the world. Lucky. I'm just average. But wait…Isn't Potter like rolling in gallons? Whoa! I'm Rich!) I let out a my Lily scream, and flip off the bed. Crack. That was my back…

"Owwww… My back!" I yell out in agony. It doesn't seem that Kay cares very much, because she's still glaring at me menacingly.

15 minutes later

Did I mention how much I hate cold showers? Brrrrr…. I hate Kay.

"Lily! Hurry? Please?" Kay said from outside the door. The sad thing is I don't even remember how I got in here. All I can remember is crack of my back and pain. When I am living with James Potter and am filthy rich, I will make sure that I will never have to take a cold shower again. Ever.

I respond to Kay's Impatience with a caveman-like grunt. I can hear Kay's glare from behind the curtain and the door, and I know that she is going through her closet right now looking for something that looks hotter on her than what she is wearing now. Or she is picking out an outfit for me. Either one. How do I know? When you've shared a dorm with someone for 7 years, you know these things. Believe me.

I can't stand it anymore! I don't care if there is still soap on me; I'm getting out of this below 0 freezing hell. I hate goose bumps. They just like little zits that appear all over your body and make you even colder.

As I dried myself off, I thought that this might be the last shower that I ever take at Hogwarts. I miss freezing cold showers so much.

It was so weird. Everyone in my grade was married. Probably half the population was pregnant. I'm so glad I'm not pregnant. That would be like the worst situation ever, being pregnant with Potter's baby. Nasty. Gross. Ewe. Well it could have been worse. I could have gotten Malloy. Then all of my kids would be mini Malfoys/slytherins and I would be forced to live in a house that supports the manic that killed my parents. Looking at it that way, I'm quite grateful with Potter.

Why did I kiss him? I've always hated Potter, why did I do that? It was stupid, stupid, stupid. I am stupid. He probably thinks I'm a freak now. That I just run around kissing big headed, but extremely hot, jerks. Wait… did I just call Potter hot? Well… Even though I would never admit it in a million years, I do think Potter is attractive. With his hazel almost green eyes, his perfect nose, and his knee weakening smile, not to mention his awesome biceps, he would be called hot any day in my book.

Wait…What am I talking about? Did I just say that Potter has awesome biceps? Asides from the fact that it is true it is a completely insane thing for me to say. I sound like one of those boy-crazed, mindless, giggly, perfect, gossiping James Potter fan club members. Potter is a git that asks you out every day. He's the one that just wants to snog you senseless so you can worship the ground he walks on just like the whole Hogwarts female population, aside from Kay and Cara.

Kay was singing outside of the Bathroom and I was afraid. Being brave like a Gryffindor, I opened the bathroom door, finding Kay in a different outfit. Very different. Kay's style was always jeans and shirts, she hated everything formal. But there she was standing there, looking cheerful in a bright yellow short summer dress.

She shrugged her shoulders and spun around, her dress flaring up in the air. "So… what do you think?" hmmm…. What do I think? I think that she looks like freakishly happy housewife that is very freakishly happy. But do I tell my friends that? Of course not!

"I think you look…very cheerful!" I decided. I didn't want to be the one that told her that she looked like the cast off desperate housewives, someone else could do that. She was too happy.

"Thanks, I liked it a lot. Are we girls still going on a strictly clothes no boys shopping spree?" She crossed the room and picked up a white purse, opening it and started to count out some money. Oh my gosh! That's a lot of money! She never had that much money before! What the heck?

"Where did all of that come from?" I asked with wonder and surprise. She looked up and smiled glamorously. Yes it's true her family was rich, but she never had a lot of spending money. Her parents were really into the not spoiling thing. She had an account that opens on her 21 birthday though. Then she will be rolling in cash. Literally.

"Certain privileges come with being the wife of an heir to a fortune. Shopping is on me today girls!" She spun around again and started to sing.

Cara opened the door, already dressed and ready. "Ready girls?" She said in an also friendly voice. I feel like in the sunshine club! Everything is so optimistic!

I smile. I am, after all, part of the sunshine club. If both of my friends were in such a good mood, why should I bring them down? I sighed. "Ok, let's go!"

I didn't know what I had gotten myself into.
