ANYTHING BUT THAT- what is the one question that Lily Evans has always been afraid to have asked...?

A/N- hey thanks to all who have read my story so far I hope you like it. Sorry about the errors in the first paragraph I had symbols in there like percent signs and equals and stuff they obviously don't show up on fanfiction so I'll refrain from using them again! Anyways here is chapter 2 enjoy (I hope)

Disclaimer: I forgot about these but obviously I don't own Harry Potter and the likes do I look like JK Rowling to you...?

After our run in with Hogwarts most annoying people the rest of our journey home ran quite smoothly. When we arrived at the station I pulled out my mobile and called mum to get her to pick us up. In our 3rd year Indi and I had discovered a charm to make electronic stuff run on magic so we each slipped our phones into our trunks every year since. See anything too large would be noticeable and they were strictly forbidden from school. Well apparently they were we haven't gotten into any trouble from having them.

Mum picked us up within 5 minutes of my calling her she opened the trunk and we shoved all of our shopping in it before climbing into the car. "How was shopping dears?" mum asked "did you see any of your other friends?"

"No, not really" Indi replied

"How do you mean not really?" Mum questioned.

"Well we ran into James Potter and Sirius Black. Hogwart's resident dickheads. I mean most annoying people." I answered.

"Ahh those are the days dear. I still quite remember when your father used to be like that. Well a dickhead anyway. Always used to ask me out he did. Never understood the concept of no. he used to really embarrass me yelled it out in classes. He would fight with other guys at school to look tougher. It was always funny when he was the one that came out with the most bruises." She sighed before going on "Then one day he just grew out of it. We started dating a few years out of school."

"Weird" muttered both Indi and I at the same time.

The rest of the ride home was rather uneventful. When we got home mum wanted to see all of the things we bought so we had to pull everything out. It was then that I realised something was missing. I didn't have any quills the bag they were in wasn't there either.

--------------------

We were sitting at dinner when there was a tap on the window. I hopped out of my seat and went to let the owl in. The owl was a rather large elegant looking snowy owl holding a parcel wrapped in gold. The letter on the top was addressed to "Lily or Indi" I opened it up and glanced at the writing. All the note said was "one of you dropped this I thought you might need it – JP" I opened up the parcel and there was the bag that had my quills in it. "Strange" I muttered JP had to have been James Potter we didn't see anyone else we knew. I made a mental note for me and Indi to test the quills before we went back to Hogwarts. It really wouldn't surprise me if they had been charmed to write things lite "date James the Marauders are the best" comcieted prick i thought before going into the lounge room to watch TV with mum and Indi.

By the end of the holidays we had tested the quills and found that there had been no tampering with whatsoever. This definitely shocked the two of us but we had better things to do then to dwell on the reasoning behind this incident.

It wasn't long before the morning of September 1st rolled around. Indi and I had packed the day before so all we had to do was roll out of bed shower and get dressed. Once we were dressed we both applied our makeup. We never wore very much just a bit of foundation, powder and blush oh and eyeliner fine we did wear a lot of makeup... but it mostly looked natural. Being girls we never went anywhere without our lipgloss. We were both in hipster jeans mine were dark while Indi had opted for a lighter colour I was wearing a pink singlet that was tight fitting and a bit more low cut then usual while Indi was in a black singlet that was typically low cut. My deep red hair (yes I know red and pink don't go but honestly who cares my hair was dark enough to not be overbearing of the pink) was pulled up in a loose pony tail with the ends all curled while Indi had straightened out her blond hair and had left it out.

We put our uniforms that we'd change into later in our backpacks along with our phones and iPods and a selection of fruit and mineral waters mum had picked up for the trip. ergh why couldn't she buy chocolate! We loaded our trunks in the car and headed off for Kings Cross. As usual mum gave us each a massive hug before getting in the car so she could drop us off around the corner from the station and not have to look for a park. There wasn't much point to her coming in; she couldn't go through the barrier anyway.

We made our way through the station and after a careful check for watching Muggles disappeared through the barrier to a more magical station. We loaded our trunks onto the train and went to find a compartment. We settled in and pulled out our iPods. Mum and Dad had Bought us each and iPod for our birthday in April mine was a pink nano while Indi had a green one. It was really strange to discover that Indi and I were both born on the 12th of April and were both vegetarian we could make a whole long list of things we had in common but it tended to get really boring apart from the fact we are both really immature well in moderation.

It wasn't long before Sarah and Katherine joined us in our compartment. About half an hour after the train pulled out I stood up because I had to go to the heads compartment. Indi followed me.

"Hey you don't have to be there for another half hour." I said to her

"I know I just feel like coming with you now to see who head boy is. I bet its Remus."

"Yeah you're probably right I can't think of anyone else. The rest of the prefects are somewhat dim."

I opened the door and was surprised to find the room was already occupied by more then one person. "Potter heads compartment get your arse out of hear." I practically spat at him...ew.

"Relax Evans I'm allowed in here" was his reply

"What? Oh don't tell me you are replacing Remus as a prefect?" I questioned

"No actually Remus is still a prefect. James Potter Head Boy and you must be Lily Evans Head girl" he introduced himself while reaching out to shake my hand

"Don't even think about touching me" he withdrew his hand pretty quickly. It was then that I noticed the shiny head boy badge fastened to his t-shirt. I knew there was no way around this Potter had to be head boy. Dumbledore himself would charm the badges so that only the person who had been appointed the position could wear them.

" Just so you know Potter I am taking this role very seriously and unlike some people AKA you I have been working very hard for this position and I don't want it to be ruined by a pathetic tosser like you!" as soon as the words came out of my mouth for some reason I regretted it. The smirk Potter had been wearing on his face vanished and a glimpse of hurt flashed across before he quickly covered it.

"I understand Lily that you don't like me and all but I am 100 percent serious about this job. I plan on making my last year of Hogwarts memorable and awarding and I'd be sorry if I got in your way and somehow ruined it for you or the rest of the student body" he said without once meeting my eyes I went to reply but the rest of the prefects had arrived and a meeting was in waiting.

I was really surprised by Potter's comment I had never considered anything so serious and mature could leave his mouth. What surprised me even more was that in my state of shock he had already began the meeting and was over half was through explaining the year's duties and temporary patrol rosters before I realised I hadn't even acknowledged the people in the room.

I handed around a sheet with a list of passwords to the prefects each list was custom made to suit each prefect and I knew from previous years had the passwords for Dumbledore's office, the prefect bathroom and their respective house common rooms I read down the list

Headmaster's office – bubblegum

Prefect Bathroom – squeaky clean

Gryffindor House – twilight

Heads common room and dormitories – chocolate mousse

Blah blah blah what HEADS COMMON ROOM wtf? I had no idea what this meant and made a mental note to ask Dumbledore later though it wouldn't surprise me if he had already planned a meeting for me and Potter tonight.

After the briefing in the heads compartment I headed back to find Sarah and Katherine in the compartment we were sharing earlier. Indi was right on my tail. We just sat and chatted for a bit it wasn't long before Indi got up to go and do her patrol of the train. I still felt horrible for what I had said to Potter earlier and figuring if we were forced to work together all year I might as well try and mend things so I followed Indi out to try and find where the marauders were. It didn't take me too long I just had to follow the loud laughing.

I slid open the compartment door and looked inside. "Potter a word" I demanded and took a step back words indicating that I wanted to talk outside. He followed me back out and then lead me into an empty compartment across the hall with a confused look on his face.

"Look I just wanted to say I am really sorry about what I said to you earlier it was way out of line and I didn't mean it. I know we are both the head students this year if we can forget our past and start anew? Well maybe not forget it just choose to ignore it?" I asked of him.

"So what are we just going to be friends now?" he questioned back. "After everything the fighting and arguments, the failed dates and all." He trailed on

"Well no I understand if you don't want to, and not exactly friends. I just thought you might –."

"No nothing like that Lily I would like to be friends with you-." He butted in I carried on talking anyway not looking at him

"- want to act civilly around each other. OH Great well I'll see you later then. Dumbledore probably wants to speak with us when we arrive so I'll see you then bye Potter" I quickly replied before hurrying off

Yes Hogwarts was going to be a weird this year!
