The Eavesdropping

That went well. Or not.

Here I am, in a compartment with 3 persons who don't want me there.

Mary-Anne, Helen and Nicola are talking and laughing and I'm sitting here and sitting. Real fun. Now it's been like this for hours. I'm soo glad we're almost at Hogwarts. Then I'm going to…

"Lily? Is she deaf or what?" Only Mary-Anne can be such a honey.

"Yeah. Deaf." Sigh. Puppy!!!

"I'm not deaf. What do you want?"

"There's a Prefect meeting in five. Maybe you should hurry." Sodding hell!!!

Of coarse the prefect compartment is in the back of the train. Damn! I don't want to be late. I can't be late! I'm head girl!

Bloody hell! There's no one here! If you don't count Potter.

"I'm so sorry I'm late! How did it go? Was everybody here or did someone skip? Damn I skipped!"

"What are you talking about Evans? You're not late, you're early. The meeting doesn't start until twenty minutes. " What?

"Damn!"

"It's good you're here though. I've never been at a prefect meeting so you need to tell me what to do."

"Yeah, okay." I can't believe how she could do this to me!

"Evans? Are you okay? "

"Yeah, I am. Sorry. At the first meeting the Heads usually just introduce themselves and speak about there "goals" for this year."

"Okay, so… what are our goals for this year?" How did he become Head boy?

"I guess it's the same goals as everybody has. To have "fun and good year and hope that everybody does there's assignments and goes there's patrols". The Heads always say that." Boooriiing

"Okay… But then I think…."

I didn't get to here what he thought. ´Cause the prefects started to go in and sit down with there heads turned to us.

"Is everybody here? Okay good. Then we will start." I open up, of course.

"Hi. I'm James Potter and this is Lily Evans. We will be your Heads this year. As I think everybody know I've never been a prefect but I'll do the best I can this year and I hope that you and Lily here will help me to get things right." He really takes this seriously.

"As I said, I'm James Potter and I'm a 7th year Gryffindor. My best subject is transfiguration so if anybody needs any help, just ask." He'll regret he ever said that. It'll be so many girls asking him for help.

"And I am Lily Evans. I'm also a 7th year Gryffindor and if you need any help with charms, come to me."

"We want to make the most of this year, since it's our last year we don't want to get in to much trouble. Since we are in charge of you, when you don't do a patrol for example, it's us who gets in trouble. Then we'll maybe get detention and has less time for schoolwork and dates" At least all the female perfects will do their work.

"For all you 5th year perfects I hope you know the rules. You can take house points from every student who misbehaves, and if that doesn't help you give them detention and then go talk to their Head of house. That's about it, right?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Just remember to take good care of the first years." So the prefects get up and leave, and all the girls will dream of Head boy tonight.

So I'm alone with Potter. Again.

"How do you think that went? Did I pass as Head boy?"

"Actually, you did great. It's the only time I've heard a Head speech that doesn't sound the same as another."

"Come on, I'll walk you to your compartment." Oh key.

"So… I'll guess we'll live together this year."

"I don't know, the Head's can live in the student dorms. I'll se were I'll live."

"Okay. I will sleep in our dorm tonight, just so you know." Okay… then I know..? We're finally by my compartment.

"…can't believe she actually think we want to sit with her. Isn't she supposed to be really smart?" I. Hate. Mary-Anne.

"I know. She is clever when it comes to logic-stuff but when it comes to social thinking she is so behind. And she think she are so good at everything. At least I know when I'm not wanted."

How can she say something like that! I've supported her thru our whole time at Hogwarts! We've been best friends since the first time we met and now she does this! Stabs me in my back! And now I'm crying. I HATE crying!!!

"Ehm… Eva… I mean Lily, are you okay? " Sod! He's here to. I totally forgot about him.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just need to use the loo." Great work Lily. Just run away.

I Lock the door (of coarse, don't want any unexpected guests) and sit down on the loo. Just breathe. In and out.

Okay, now it's time to think. Maybe she's just jealous. Yeah, it must be it. She'll come around. Eventually. I hope. Now I'm going to go out and sit… were?

"Hey Evans…" Damn, you scared me!

"…I was just wondering if you wanted to sit with me and my friends?" Great, he does if out of pity.

"I mean, I can understand if you don't want to go back to them." Pity. But it's the best I've got. Heck, it's the only thing I've got.

"Yeah, okay. I'll come."

"You will?" He's surprised.

"I will." So we walk. It's kinda uncomfortable but not embarrassing.

"So here we are. I just want to warn you, Sirius might still be sugar-high. That's a sad fact. Don't care about a thing he say's, or what Peter says."

"Got it" It can't be too bad. Right?

Potter opens the door and there is Lupin, Black and Pettigrew.

"Prongs ol' man, what took you so long? You were speaking with some girl again, weren't you? Who was it this time?" Black can talk a lot.

"Guys, Evans is going to sit with us. Okay." Not a question.

"Not exactly the girl I thought."
