"I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT POTTER! YOU ARE HEAD BOY! We haven't even been back for 3 hours and you and your friends have already caused mayhem! What was the Headmaster thinking?"

"Man Lily I said I was sorry it's not like I can resist pranking people! And you've gotta admit it was pretty funny!"

"No I don't and I will not!"

James grinned wide and looked down at the girl and thought, Man she is sooo tiny. I bet she would fit perfectly in my arms. He was brought out of his reverie by Lily saying the password and they climbed the spiral stair case to the Headmasters office. Lily was ahead and knocked on the door.

"Come in they heard the Headmaster call."

They entered somewhat wearily not knowing how to react. They found Dumbledore sitting at his desk in his high back comfy looking chair. James who had been in this office many a times walked over to one of the chintz chairs and sat in it. Lily who had never been in the office before followed somewhat hesitantly, she sat down and Dumbledore began to speak.

"Now you may be wondering why I have asked to meet you with the two of you."

They both nodded.

"Well we have decided to try something a little new this year because we think that you two will have A LOT of trouble getting along so, we have decided to give the Heads their own common room. So I have asked you here to give you this information and give you some other information you may not be too happy about but it must be said. Because of the rising danger Lord Voldemort imposes you will have to patrol together every night after the Prefects have finished their shifts. I am sorry but we believe it is the best thing for security measures. Now the password to the common room is skrewt and is located on the sixth floor behind the portrait of Godric Gryffindor. Now I believe you must be tired so off to bed."

They nodded and left the office.

"Man this sucks I mean I have to patrol with you every night for three hours and I have to share a common room with you plus all the meetings! This is going to be such a lovely year!"

James couldn't even find the power to talk all he could do was think. I get to spend all this time with Lily! I get to share a common room with her, and only her patrol the corridors with her for three hours! This is perfect!

Once again James was broken from is reverie from Lily saying a password. This time the password to their common room. Lily walked in first followed by James but Lily had stopped and James bumped into her making them both fall. When they got up James braced himself for the yelling that was sure to ensue but I never came because Lily was still on the floor not being able to shut her gaping mouth, James followed her eyes and understood. The common room was AMAZING!

The room was red and gold and filled with Gryffindor paraphernalia. There was a big fire place on one side of the circular room. In front of the fire sat two bi red chintz chairs just like the ones in the Gryffindor common room on either side of a big red couch. On the other side were two doors one with that said Lily Evans in fancy, neat cursive writing and on the other was the words James Potter in his messy, slanted print.

Once Lily found herself able to move she made her way over to her room and opened the door. She gasped again. It was perfect. In the middle of her room stood her queen sized canopy bed. Her room was done in her two favourite colors, light purple and neon green. On one side of the room there stood a desk that should could do her homework on and on the other there were two doors. She opened one and there was her own private bathroom. It was amazing just like the rest of the common room. There was a giant soaker tub and a shower. There was a vanity and a of course the sink. She liked the bathroom very much! So when she left the bathroom she decided to look at the other door. When she opened it she found another door, but this door was locked. Then it opened and standing there in the doorway was James, with a confused look on his face.

Lily could see that his room was very different from hers. His room was done completely in Gryffindor colors and didn't have a canopy bed. He had the desk like her just the same. Except his bathroom was on the opposite side of the room, the door was open so she could see that his bathroom was pretty much the same as hers.

"Well the common room is pretty cool isn't it?" Asked James after a long silence in which they were both looking over the other shoulder to see the rooms.

"Yeah, it is."

"Yeah, a ways night" And with that James closed the door and went right to bed. He could unpack in the morning.

Lily had the opposite idea in mind. She got right to unpacking and found that she had a closet in her bathroom. She neatly placed all her clothes inside and went back to her trunk. She put all her homework on her desk and organized it. Then she arranged all the rest of her belongings, put her favourite blanket on her bed, but her pictures on her bed side table and put her toiletries in the bathroom. After everything was away and organized she got everything ready for her first day of class. She put her homework in her bag and some extra parchment and a quill and her bottle of ink. She then found her robes and laid them out in the bathroom.

Once Lily was sure she was all unpacked and ready for the morning she looked at the clock and found that it was still only 9 o'clock. She grabbed her book and went out to the common room to read a bit before having to go out and patrol.

Her alone time went by a little too quickly and too fast had 10 o'clock rolled around. Lily went to knock on James's door but he never answered. She figured he must be asleep so she decided to go and patrol by herself tonight. It was only the first night after all; most people would not be out after curfew anyways. She grabbed her sweater and went out the portrait hole.

Man the castle is kind of creepy in the day when your by yourself but this cuts the cake!

As she was walking down in the dungeons, she had decided to start at the bottom and work her way back up to the seventh floor and then go to bed, she heard so noise around the corner she was just about to got and give out detentions when she heard her name. She leaned up against the wall and eavesdropped and the more and more she heard the scared and scared she got. She heard three voices.

"I don't care what you do, I just want to make sure that stupid Mudblood Evans doesn't get threw this year!" Came the first deep and freighting voice.

"Well I'm not the best at making up plans so what do you have in mind, this was your idea." Came the second voice, this one a girl's voice.

"Well then why don't we leave it to him and we can meet again" And then there was the third voice, an oily one that sounded familiar but Lily just couldn't place it.

"I have a better idea. Why don't we just kill her! I mean it's quick and we will never have to deal with her again." Came the female voice again.

"As appealing as that sounds I don't want her dead, not yet anyways, I want her to suffer first!" Came the freighting voice.

"Ok well make up your plan and tell us because I'm tired and I want to get to bed." There's that familiar voice again.

"Fine, fine let's go to bed and discuss this another time once we have it figured out. Agreed?" Said the female.

Lily heard there footsteps retreat down the hall and she quickly ran for her life! She ran as fast as she could all the way back to the Heads common room. She was scared out of her mind, she is usually kind of and considerate but right now she didn't care how much noise she was making or is she would wake up Potter. Her first thought was to go to bed but she was scared that someone would be in there. So she made her way to the couch and sat down and cried.

Not a minute later a very tired and grumpy looking James Potter emerged from his room ready to start yelling. But when he saw Lily just sitting there cry made his heart sink and rise with anger all at once. Lily Evans was not the kind of girl who would cry like that over nothing. He felt terrible knowing that she was like this and angry towards whomever had done this. He was ready to hex who ever it was into oblivion!

"Lily? Are you ok?" You could hear the worry in his voice.

She sniffled and looked up. She nodded her head and turned her face to stare at the fire. She couldn't tell him what she had heard. Could she? No! Absolutely no one can know about that!

"Are you sure because you are not the kind of person who would cry over nothing?"

"Yes, I'm sure just got a little scared wondering the dungeons at night it's kind of creepy down there."

Suddenly guilt filled James conscious. He had forgotten about patrolling and had fallen asleep and Lily had gone by herself and not only that but and been frightened to tears.

"Please don't lie, I can tell your lying you never look anyone in the eyes when you lie and you won't even look at me."

Lily sighed. Ja-Potter was right... She was lying and she knew he could tell. She still wouldn't look at him. Looking out the window and hugging herself, she felt the tears streaming down her cheeks. The couch sank a bit and she knew Potter had sat down. She glanced at him and saw true concern in his eyes and looked away again.
"Lily... Please..." James pleaded, putting his hand on her shoulder and being surprised when she didn't pull away.
"I... I don't want to talk about it..." Lily sniffed, still turned away from him.
James decided he would try a gutsy move. He knew Lily was upset, and he knew being upset alone was very unpleasant. He turned her around and pulled her close into a tight hug.
Expecting a slap across the face, he braced himself, but he didn't let her go. Instead of slapping him, however, she threw her arms about his neck and cried into his shoulder. She was comfortable, and she really didn't want to be alone right now. Besides... Potter was being nice, wasn't he?
"It's alright Lily," James whispered soothingly, "Why don't you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help?"
Regaining her composure, she sniffed and pulled away a bit, realizing that she had cried herself right into his lap.
"N-no... I'm just being foolish is all..." she forced a smile, "I'm just going to head off to bed..."
"Are you sure?" he asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I'll be alright..."
He hugged her again and helped her up, walking her to her room.
"Thanks James..." she smiled, heading into her room to leave a stunned boy behind.
"She just called me... James...!" he whispered to himself happily. He went off to bed smiling and promised he would rub it in Sirius' face in the morning.

In her room, Lily changed into her silk pyjamas and slid comfortably into bed. She tried, for about half an hour, to get to sleep with no avail. After tossing and turning the whole time, she was fed up. She lifted herself angrily out of bed, tearing the blanket off the bed. As quietly as she could, she stormed into the common room and plopped down in the couch.
Staring at the fire, the blanket snuggled around her, she began mentally beating herself up for being so paranoid. She was being silly, there was no way the Slytherin's would really go through with any stupid plan they concocted. She was worrying herself over nothing.
After a while, she ended up drifting off into an uneasy sleep.

The next morning Lily awoke with an uneasy feeling of being watched. Her eyes snapped open to realize that James was a very uncomfortable three inches away from her face.
"AAAARRRGH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lily screamed, trying to move away but running into the couch.
