'James Potter, How could his name be on the Head Boy Badge? It must be a mistake' Lily thought while wiping at her eyes trying to see the name more clearly, maybe if she stared at it for long enough the name and letters would change.
"Lily, you aren't thinking straight, you need to get your wits in check. It is just a huge mistake, even if Potter was Head Boy, why would you have gotten his badge?" Lily muttered to herself as she ran back up the stairs to her bedroom with the badge and letter in hand. "It must be a prank, I wouldn't put past Potter and his marauder bunch, especially not Black." she continued to herself. "At least I have my supply list"
Lily picked up the envelope and just as she was about to pull the rest of the papers from the envelope, the name on the outside caught her eye. James Potter and underneath his name was her address.
'Uughh!' Lily thought 'this day was supposed to be wonderful, but seeing the name just confirmed her earlier thoughts 'It probably was just a prank to get under my skin.' That was all that the marauders thought about, how to get under people's skin, especially Lily's.
Lily pulled the papers out from the envelope and read the first paper.
Mr. Potter,
Congratulations! You have been chosen to be Head Boy for your final year at Hogwarts…
Lily stopped reading after that, flopped onto her bed and held her hand up to her forehead, trying to stop her developing headache. The one thing that she did notice was that the letter was signed by Dumbledore himself.
'Could this day get any worse?' Lily thought to herself, shuffling through the rest of the parchment pages, Lily realized that it could; all of the school supplies were specific to Potter's classes. Lily was not only angry at the marauders for pranking her, she was starting to panic because she only had 2 weeks to figure out where her letter had been sent.
'I will just write a letter to Alice.' Lily thought trying to calm herself down, nothing ever brought her spirits up after a prank from the marauders like a friend's perfect advice and Alice Prewett was her very best friend.
Dear Alice,
Have you gotten your letter for Hogwarts yet? I got mine today, and guess what! I got a Head's badge! but don't get too excited. Guess who's name was on it…
James Potter's
The envelope was also addressed to him, and all of the papers are specialized to his classes, and I can only assume that the marauders pulled this prank, but Dumbledore's signature was on the bottom of the Head Boy letter and now I only have 2 weeks to find my letter, and contact Dumbledore and get my supplies…. Oh Alice! What am I supposed to do? It's just too much!
Please write back! I'm sorry to bother you with all of my problems, but I need your help, and obviously Petunia won't be able to help…
Your desperate friend,
Lily
