hello everyone! sorry about the delay, there was a ton of stuff going on, so we didn't get any writing done. kay well hope you enjoy!!!

"So you're trying out for the Quidditch team?" Lily asked Meghan, amazed. "I didn't even know you played Quidditch!"

"I don't," Meghan pointed out. "Last time I was even on a broom was…three years ago."

"So you really are going to try out?" Lily sighed. "I don't know if this is such a great idea…"

"Why wouldn't it be?" Meghan shrugged. "I'm just doing it to show Sirius he's wrong."

"There's tons of girls trying out, remember?" Lily asked. "The whole thing with Tess Tickle and Dick Israel Small…"

"Wow I forgot about that," Meghan laughed, remembering the rather interesting conversation they had at the breakfast table the day before. "But honestly, Lily, I bet you most of them are trying out just to get with the guys on the team."

Lily snorted. Meghan just shrugged, and stood up.

"So wanna help me practice?" she asked Lily hopefully. "Tryouts are next week."

"I can't…I have the prefects meeting to run with James in like an hour."

"James too?" Meghan groaned. "Who's gonna help me? I can't ask Sirius he's got some project, and Remus is terrible…"

"I'm terrible too, remember? But Rose can kind of play Quidditch. After all, she's dating the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team," Lily pointed out. "Oh wait." She began snickering "I forgot to tell you, they were paired up to work on a project in Muggle studies."

Meghan just looked at Lily and began laughing uncontrollably.

"No way! They are going to kill each other by the end of the week!"

"Oh yes way…and you'll never believe what the project is."

"What?"

"The whole year is on muggle…muggle marriage!" Lily laughed.

"Marriage?" Meghan choked.

"Yes! The first part of the year they have to make preparations for the fake wedding that luckily they won't have to perform, and then the second half of the year…" here Lily had to take a deep breath from laughing so hard-"they have to take care of a baby!"

"A WHAT?" Meghan shrieked with laughter.

"An electronic baby and they can't use any magic…the new muggle studies teacher thinks the class should learn about the muggle way of life through actions, not text books. How funny is that?"

"Oh dear god, I don't know how they're going to make it," Meghan gasped, wiping tears from her eyes. "In fact, I probably don't even have to practice seeing as Sirius won't be alive to see me prove him wrong."

"What I would pay to see them right now…"

"Wanna go spy on them?" Meghan asked hopefully.

"Nah, I have to leave soon. James and I are meeting half an hour before the actual meeting starts so that we have time to prepare what we're going to discuss."

"Wow, you're still calling him James!" Meghan said proudly. "I never even knew you knew each other's first names."

"Oh shut up," Lily laughed, playfully slapping Meghan on the arm.

"So how are you two getting along?"

"Fairly. We haven't had a huge blow out of an argument. Yet."

"I'll keep my ear plugs with me at all times, just incase." Meghan teased, and Lily glared at her.

"I'm going to go meet James," Lily said. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck! Geez, both my best friends are gonna die…"

"On be quiet," Lily said, sticking her tongue out.

"Real mature, Lil."

"I try."

"Whyyy?" Sirius moaned for what must have been the 70th time in the past half hour he and Rose had been working.

"Because the world hates us," Rose snapped. "It's not like I'm having the time of my life."

"Every girl has the time of their life when they're with me," Sirius said arrogantly, and Rose raised her eyebrow.

"Guess I'm not a girl."

"So you admit it," Sirius smirked.

"Ha! Give me three reasons why I wouldn't be a girl."

"Er…"

"Ha!"

"Hey I haven't seen what's under that skirt."

"SIRIUS!" Rose whispered angrily.

"What? How am I supposed to know if you have a dick or not? Those could be very, very large man boobs."

"Whyyy?" Rose moaned, slamming her head on the table. "Why does that bloody teacher hate me?"

"It's not like I'm having the time of my life," Sirius mimicked, and Rose immediately sat on her hands to restrain herself from punching him. "Oooh now you're feeling your own butt? Haven't seen Gideon lately?"

"That's it!" Rose cried angrily, and as she was about to lunge for Sirius, Meghan walked in.

"Y'know, somehow I imagined I'd walk into something like this," Meghan sighed, pushing Rose back into her seat. "Rose, don't kill Sirius. Sirius, don't hit on Rose because you know Remus would have your head for dinner, plus I'm getting rather tired of this. And Rose, do you know where Gideon is?"

"He's in the Ravenclaw common room. Why?"

"Cause someone has to help me with Quidditch and James has a prefect meeting to run," Meghan whispered in her ear.

"Ohhhh. Well Gideon is a prefect too, remember?"

"Dammit! Ugh I suppose I'll go find Toby. See you two later!" Meghan said cheerfully, waved, and left the library.

"Hey guys," Remus said casually, walking in right as Meghan was walking out. "What's up?"

"We're on a date," Sirius said. "I'm getting ready to pop the question."

"WHAT?" Remus asked, receiving a nasty look from Madam Pince.

"Muggle Studies, mate, chill!" Sirius laughed.

"Oh, right, I forgot about that."

"Shouldn't you be with Dorcas, getting to ready to pop your question?" Rose asked.

"No I have to go to a prefects meeting in…" Remus checked his watch, and his eyes popped out of his head. "Five minutes! Don't kill each other!" Remus ran out of the library and tore down the hallways until he reached the meeting room.

"Remus! Just in time!" James grinned. "Everyone ready to start?"

"Oh for god's sake get on with it!" Regulus groaned.

"Shut up," Gideon said, rolling his eyes.

"Thank you Gideon," Lily said. "Now let's get started."

"Exciting meeting, eh?" James asked the red head in front of him.

"Mmm. I could just pulverize those Slytherins," Lily said angrily. "The nerve of them!"

"Now do you see why I always tortured them?"

"Well I knew how nasty they were before…but yes." James grinned. "No, you can't do it. Remember our game of Operation?"

"Yes, but you said to screw it, remember?"

"Dammit. Oh, McGonagall asked us to stop in her office after the meeting. Discussing our head duties and stuff."

"Oh fun," James yawned, and Lily laughed.

"Tired, are we?"

"Just a little. Oh we get our own rooms tonight!"

"I forgot about that! I don't have anything packed."

"Yeah me neither. Damn, now I'll have to be awake even longer," James whined.

"Oh suck it up," Lily grinned.

"So did you hear Sirius and Rose have to work together in Muggle Studies?" James asked her on their way to McGonagall's office.

"Rose was complaining about it for at least 30 minutes…I don't know what is wrong with that professor, seriously, two of her students are gonna die just because of that stupid class."

"You should have seen Sirius. He was sitting on his bed wrapped up in ways to make her angry."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, unfortunately I am," sighed James, and he knocked on the door of McGonagall's office.

"Come in," she said, and the two Heads opened the door. "Ah, I was hoping I'd see you. Sit down." Lily and James did as instructed, and McGonagall stood up. "I have called you in here today to discuss your head duties. The two of you will have meetings every Monday night from 7-9 in the evening to file detention paperwork, plan events and anything else needed to be done that evening. If I find out that you are skipping these meetings, there will be consequences. After all, the school's events are planned and organized by the two of you. Another thing helpful to know is that this year is Hogwarts 1000th year anniversary."

"1000 years?" Lily asked, amazed. "Wow we gotta make this year big." James grinned, and McGonagall frowned.

"Don't even think about big pranks, Mr. Potter."

"But Professor," James whined.

"No! You are Head Boy! What kind of an example would you be setting?" McGonagall scolded.

"A bad one," James sighed sadly.

"Now, I know that Dumbledore would dearly like a ball at the end of the year this year to celebrate this anniversary."

"Then we'll make one happen," Lily told her. "Oh this sounds like fun!" James looked at her a little strangely, but reluctantly agreed.

"Good then. Any other events you can think of, bring them to me before you bring them to the Prefects. I would like to…approve them first," McGonagall said, looking at James.

"We will," Lily smiled.

"Thank you. Your common room and rooms are ready now. The entrance is on the 2nd floor, the Portrait of Bemulia the Banshee."

"Why her?" James asked.

"Scared?" Lily smirked, and James looked indignant.

"No way!"

"Suree," she grinned. "What's the password?"

"Hinkypunk, you are free to go now. Your things have already been put in the new dorm."

"Er…our stuff wasn't packed," James pointed out.

"Mr. Potter, these house elves have been picking up after you for the past 7 years. I think they know what things belong to you by now," McGonagall said tersely, and James grinned sheepishly.

"Goodnight, Professor," Lily smiled, and left the room, James following closely after her. "So, any ideas in mind for this year?"

"Part-ay!"

"James, school events, not Marauder bashes."

"Hmph."

"I think we should do something special for all the Holidays," Lily said, and James looked at her.

"Don't we always?"

"No! Valentines Day usually goes unnoticed, as does St. Patrick's Day and Easter…This year is really special, we should try and make it a year to remember!"

"There's an easier way to do that," James mumbled, and Lily laughed.

"If you want to help Sirius with a FEW pranks here and there, I'll cover for you."

"You-you? Lily Evans, girl who has hated my guts for the past 7 years, ratted out on me every time she caught me breaking a rule, yelled at me for hexing Slytherins and thought my pranks were immature is going to cover for me?" James asked disbelievingly.

"Why not? If we want to make this year a year to remember we have to have something that will catch people's attention!" Lily pointed out. "As much as I love the idea of a dance, it won't be enough to make this year different."

"We should make a special room."

"What do you mean?"

"A special room with a Jacuzzi where people can go and…"

"Finish that sentence and I will change the password of our room so you can't get in," Lily threatened. "What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me like the brother you never had!" James grinned hopefully, and Lily laughed.

"Y'know, you really aren't all that bad."

"I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth," said James, and Lily rolled her eyes.

"No, I'm serious…you've changed a lot over the summer."

"Well I knew that if I was going to be Head Boy, I needed to act more like an adult and less like an immature prick."

"I didn't think you thought you were an immature prick."

"Yes, well…you finally got that through my head at the end of 6th year."

"It only took 6 years," Lily smirked. "Hinkypunk."

"What about them?" James asked, confused.

"Er…we need to get into our room?" Lily told him slowly.

"Ohh. Whoops."

"Nice going…wow."

"Wow what?"

"Look at this place!" Lily breathed, stepping inside. "It's brilliant!"

"It's just as big as the Gryffindor common room! And we're only two people!"

"It's bigger!" Lily squealed.

"Hey are they calling us fat?" James asked, and Lily looked at him strangely. "Yeah that wasn't funny."

"No, it really wasn't. Oh I love it!"

"Why is it blue?" James asked, disgruntled.

"Because they're not gonna change the colour everytime there's a new Head of House!" Lily pointed out. So we have really light blue walls. With a really, really pretty bronze border. Deal with it."

"There's dark blue furniture," James muttered.

"Yes, it looks like we're in the ocean," Lily sighed, and James looked at her oddly. "What?"

"You are really strange. Where's the red?"

"In the bathroom!" Lily called from the very roomy bathroom in between their bedrooms. "Red walls, gold toilet and tub."

"MY ROOM IS YELLOW!" James shouted, and Lily walked into the bedroom with the name 'James Harold Potter' written on the door.

"Wow. It looks like you're living inside a bee," Lily snorted, looking at the light yellow walls and black furniture."

"Well you probably have the green room," James said, and Lily shrugged.

"I happen to think green is a lovely colour, and I don't hate it just because it's Slytherin's house colour," Lily said maturely, and walked into the bedroom with Lily Marie Evans written on the door, James at her heels. "Yup it's green. Oh with a silver border! How pretty!" James just rolled his eyes.

"Hey how come your furniture isn't green or silver?" James asked.

"Green furniture? Silver furniture?" Lily snorted. "I pity your wife when you need to decorate a house."

"Don't worry, I'll call you to do our decorating for us," James said sarcastically. "I get black furniture."

"So? There's gold plumbing in the bathroom!"

"Hey… there's wood furniture in the common room too!"

"You can't have blue desks!" Lily cried. "Or bronze!"

"Look at us. We're arguing about furniture."

"Good lord. We are some strange people."

"No shit. Hey, at least there's one thing we can agree on."

"We can agree on something else, too," Lily grinned, and James raised an eyebrow.

"And what would that be?"

"We both love having Queen sized beds instead of 4 posters," Lily said, and James laughed.

"Yeah, you're right on that one."

"Where were you last night?" Rose asked Lily as she sat down for breakfast the following morning.

"Wait a minute…Lily didn't come back last night?" Sirius asked, and Meghan and Rose shook their heads. "James didn't either!"

"What did you do?" Meghan asked her, and Lily just laughed.

"Calm down you guys! We got our own common room last night with our own bedrooms."

"Oh, right, I forgot about that," Remus breathed, and James just rolled his eyes.

"You guys are mental," Lily snorted. "So what's new? I see you all are still alive, that's good."

"Well Sirius and Rose had some near death experiences, but they came out alive," Peter laughed. "Unluckily," he muttered looking at Rose so no one could here. Although he was indeed sorry for pushing her into the pool, he still wanted her boyfriend.

"With only a few scratches on us," Sirius said darkly, and Rose bit her lip.

"I said I'm sorry! What more can I do?"

"You can kiss it to make it better," Sirius grinned.

"Why do I even bother?" Rose asked no one in particular, and then looking at her friend's puzzled faces she explained. "I slapped him and he got a nasty bruise."

"You slapped him?" James gaped. "And gave him a bruise? Wow for someone so tiny I never thought you could scar someone so…"

"Big?" Meghan suggested. "Why'd you do it?"

"This is the way he 'proposed' for muggle studies-so wanna go to America, get mad drunk, get married by an Elvis impersonator then have mad hot passionate bunny sex in the middle of the Playboy Mansion?"

"Hey I thought it was a good proposal," Sirius sniffed.

"You need to tell the teacher how you proposed, you jackass. Wait till you tell that crazy ass professor what you said," Rose said wryly, and Sirius gulped.

"I'll lie."

RRRRRREEEEEEVVVVVVIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW please
