James hurried after Lily, trying to juggle his book bag, cloak and the giant stack of parchment Dumbledore had handed them. "Lily, wait!" He called out. "Slow down for a minute will you?"

Lily let out an irritated sigh and slowed down marginally. "What?"

"Why are you so pissed off at me?" James snapped, tired of being sniped at and glared at and sighed at for no reason. "I've done nothing wrong!"

Lily glared at him for a few more seconds before her face relaxed into a smile. "You're absolutely right. I'm sorry."

James blinked. Girls were so mental. "Er…"

"I was a bit shocked to find out you were Heard Boy of course," Lily explained earnestly, tucking her hair behind her ears. "And my sister told me she was getting married as I was getting out of the car, so I suppose I was a tad bit annoyed already…anyway, I shouldn't be so terse with you. Let's head back to the dorms friends shall we?" She beamed at him.

James blinked again. "Er…all right…"

"Brilliant!"

Lily spun on her heels and set off at a slightly slower pace towards the Gryffindor Tower. James followed, still trying to work out what had just happened.

There were a few moments of companionable silence before James cleared his throat. "Um…Lily. Aren't we going in the wrong direction?"

Lily frowned. "No…Gryffindor Tower is this way."

"Right." James fell silent. "It's just that," he continued after a short pause, "I thought the Heads Dorm would be somewhere else, not in Gryffindor Tower."

Lily stopped so suddenly that James walked into her, sending parchment flying. "The Heads what?" She demanded, turning to face him.

"The…Heads Dormitory." James repeated a little less certainly. "You know…we get our own bedrooms and private Common Room…"

Lily gazed at him incredulously. "Are you out of your mind Potter? A shared dorm? This is a school not the…not the set of your depraved fantasies! In what dream world would Professor Dumbledore ever let a boy and girl share a dorm room together?"

"I dunno, I guess I just thought that -"

"Thought what? That you and I could spend our nights having wild sex on the couch in our private lair?" Lily narrowed her eyes at him, arms folded across her chest.

James spluttered incoherently at that, his mind instantly filled with images of him and Lily having wild sex on a couch. "NO!" He managed to get out eventually and Lily raised her eyebrows.

"You're a terrible liar." She sighed and shook her head. "I'm not going to ask what's wrong with you or what mental thoughts go through your head…I suppose I should be used to it by now…but I wanted to let you know…you're a tosser."

With that she turned on her heels and strode away, shoulders shaking with what James suspected to be laughter. When she disappeared around the corner he heard what was the unmistakable sound of Lily Evans laughing hysterically.

"I'm going to kill Sirius." James muttered.

A/N: Just something small that I've had floating around for ages...thought it was about time I uploaded it :) Inspired by all the times I see the infamous "Heads Dorms" in which Lily & James share a dorm that has connecting bedrooms or connecting bathrooms or some thing equally as unlikely - of course that isn't to say that I don't enjoy fics that feature said dorm, more that I just think it's terribly unlikely!

Hope you enjoy!

p.s next chapter of IWTHYH should be coming soon, I almost finished it and then realised I hated everything I'd written and had to start again! Sorry xx
