I'm so sorry it took so long to update, I was really busy with school and stuff. Anyways, here's the second chap:

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story that you can recognize from J.K. Rowling's books.

Admitting It

Chapter 2: changed??

After the feast, Dumbledore gave the start of term notices. "…….the caretaker, Mr. Filch, has asked me to inform you that there is a complete list of all banned items..." Lily zoned out. She gazed around the great hall, absently taking in expressions and familiar faces. It was good to be back. To be back for the last time.

She was brought out of her reverie by the scraping of benches.

"Would the head boy and girl please stay back??" called Dumbledore over the noise. Lily and James made their way towards the Head Table. After the students had filed out, Dumbledore spoke, "as heads you have certain privileges. One of them includes your own quarters. You have quite a big common room, to share, a bedroom each, and a shared bathroom. These are out of the way for students, on the seventh floor, behind the portrait of Lady and Godric Gryffindor. You can show them your head badge and choose the password. I trust the accommodations will be to your liking. You may go."

James and Lily hurried up to the seventh floor, stopping in front of a portrait of a man and woman dressed in red and gold.

"Ah, you must be our new heads," said the man, "choose a password?"

Lily looked at James. "You choose" she said.

"Ok. How about 'crystal'?" he asked the portrait.

Godric nodded, and the portrait swung open. "Good to have you in Gryffindor!" he said if they walked in side.

"Wow!" breathed Lily, "it's beautiful."

So it was. The room was entirely in red and gold. Couches, poufs, and little tables were scattered here and there. On one end stood a magnificent bookcase, ceiling to floor, full of leather covered books. A large fireplace was at the other end, full of crackling cheerful. On the floor was a soft red and gold carpet.

Lily headed up to her room. She gasped again. The room was huge, with a king size bed, smaller bookshelf, wardrobe, and a desk. She went into the bathroom, which she had to share with James. He was in there too, looking around. He grinned when he saw her.

"It's just like the prefects bathroom," he said, turning one of the taps, "just with two baths though."

Lily smiled. Maybe he has changed.

The next morning, in the Great Hall, Lily met her friends Callie Caruthers and Arielle Bradshaw.

"Hi guys!!" she said brightly as she slid into a seat.

"H- Hey lily" said Callie, stifling a yawn, "didn't see you yesterday"

"Dumbledore gave us our own quarters." Said Lily.

"Us?" asked Arielle, "who's 'us'"

Lily went pink. "James and I" she mumbled.

"You guys are together?" asked a wide- eyed Callie.

"No!" protested Lily, "Of course not!"

"Then why have you not treated us to your usual rant about how James Potter is an insufferable git?" asked Arielle.

"Because… it's because he's changed this summer. No asking me out, no perverted comments, nothing"

"People say he's changed" said Callie thoughtfully, "maybe you should give him a chance…"

"You mean… go out with him?" asked Lily.

"Yes, that's what she means, 'go out with him'" replied Arielle briskly. "And Lils, you know it'll happen sooner or later. People say he's changed a lot"

"And why would that mean I'd go out with him?" asked Lily.

"Because Lily darling, he's changed everything about him you hate so much" answered Callie, "any way, let's get to class… what do we have first? Charms, yeah charms, let's get going…"

A.N: right, I am really sorry that my updating has been so pathetic. I dunno how long this chapter is going to come out, but it was around 3 pages on Word. Here's to luck!! Review please
