AN: I own nothing.
Chapter Six
After the helping unload the train and the feast, James and Lily headed off towards their new dorm together, the awkward moment on the train still with them, causing them to remain in silence until they reached the picture of the dancing house elves.
"Honor." Lily spoke clearly. The house elves all stopped and bowed down to Lily and James before swinging open to reveal a hallway. As they clamored in through the portal Lily tripped, but James caught her arm and pulled her up before she could even panic. "Thanks." She mumbled as she blushed. James sent her a charming smile before taking the last few steps into the common room.
"Holy… Lily look at this!" James eagerly said in awe. The end of the hallway opened up into a common room, larger than Gryffindors and rich with their house colors. There was a large stone fireplace, with shelves and shelves of books on either side. "Lily… we'll never have to go to the library!" James laughed as Lily headed directly to the stacks of books, her eyes browsing them eagerly. James walked into the center of the room, surrounded by an assortment of big squishy armchairs and a large couch. In the middle of the room there was a large coffee table that had an in-laid chessboard. Off to the side, across from the fireplace there was a large was a two person desk under the windows. On either side of the fireplace there was spiraling staircases that led up to individual landings. James could spot the words Head Girl on the one off to the left. His eyes caught a large cabinet on the opposite wall of the entry way. James walked over and opened the door; he froze practically drooling over the contents.
"James?" Lily asked, noticing that James had completely stopped. "James? Potter… what is it?" Lily walked over beside him and looked in the cabinet, then froze as well. "Merlin." She whispered. The cabinet obviously had an expansion charm on it, and inside it contained enough Honeydukes sweets to be considered a small store. On the bottom rack there was a large amount of butterbeer. "There are enough sweets here to last us until graduation." Lily told James.
"Speak for yourself." James smiled broadly as he opened a container of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Lily rolled her eyes as she moved towards the stairs that lead to her bedroom.
