Chapter 2: Wait, who's the Head Boy?

The next morning James woke up to Sirius bouncing on his bed.

"What the hell, Padfoot!"

"Oh goody you're up!" Replied Sirius in a ridiculously girl-ish voice. He then got down and sat calmly on his own bed, as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

"What time is it?" groaned James

"8:30."

"Are you kidding me? You woke me up at 8:30 in the morning?"

"Yup, but it was for a good reason."

"What is so important then?" James asked grumpily.

"We forgot to pull a beginning of the year prank!"

James sat bolt upright "We did?"

"Yes! It's terrible! I can't believe it! People will think that we're losing our touch." Sirius exclaimed dramatically

"We can't have that, now can we." James said mischievously "We have a prank to plan!"

"Oh ya! This'll have to be amazing because we let down everyone who was expecting a prank last night."

"Mmhm. Wait, where're Moony and Wormtail?"

"Wormtail is still sleeping and Moony was gone when I woke up."

"Where do you think he went?" James asked with a slight frown on his face.

"I don't know. I would say the library, but we don't have any homework yet."

"Moony doesn't need homework to go to the library. He just goes. Anyways, we'll just have to start without him. Wakeup Wormtail, will you?"

"With pleasure." With that Sirius ran over to Peter's bed and whipped back the covers to reveal a small, mousy boy curled up in a ball. "Arguemti!" Water streamed from Sirius' wand onto the no longer sleeping boy.

"Argh!" Cried Peter. "What was that for?"

"Had to wake you up, Wormtail my friend. We have a prank to plan."

Lily's morning was not quite as eventful. She woke up at around eight and got dressed for breakfast. On her to the Great Hall she met Remus.

"Hey Rem." She greeted

"Oh hey Lily. How are you?"

"Excited to be back," she replied with a smile "What about you?"

"Same. I can't wait for the NEWT classes to start."

"Me too, but I'm a little nervous as well."

"Well you have no reason to be. Everybody knows that you are the best student in Hogwarts, you're going to ace all of you classes." Remus said encouragingly "Except for maybe Transfiguration" He added with a smirk.

"Oh shut up!" Lily replied playfully

"But seriously, you'll be fine."

"Thanks Rem. I'm sure you'll be great too."

"Well, my studying will be interrupted every month…"

Lily knew that Remus was talking about his lyncathropy. He had been bitten by a werewolf when he was a little kid and now turned into a werewolf every full moon. Lily had figured it out in her first year, but never told Remus that she knew. Remus had confirmed it in second year when he told her about it

"Don't be stupid Rem. A couple nights isn't going to affect your grades. It seems like you don't have to study at all and you'll still get the best grades."

"That's nice of you to say Lils, but I don't know if it's true."

They arrived at the Great Hall and didn't say anything else on the subject in case they were overheard by another student sitting nearby. Almost as soon as they had sat down McGonagall came up to them with their schedules.

"Oh, and Ms. Evans?" She said after confirming their schedules "I didn't get a chance to tell you last night, but you and Mr. Potter will be living in the Head Dormitories from now on. Do you wish to wait for Mr. Potter to arrive before I show you where your new room is, or will you be able to inform later?"

"Umm, I guess I'll tell him later."

"Very well. Follow me." With that McGonagall started towards the doors.

"Come on." Lily said to Remus, grabbing his arm and pulling.

"Okay okay." He grabbed a muffin and came with her. They had to jog slightly at first to catch up with McGonagall. They were walking in the direction of the Gryffindor common room, but one corridor before they came to the portrait of the fat lady McGonagall ducked behind a tapestry and walked to the end of the concealed corridor. There was a life sized picture of the first Head Boy and Head Girl attached to the wall.

"The password is 'Tweek'." McGonagall said, not looking like she approved of the password. It was obvious that Dumbledore had chosen it. "You may change it at any time. All you have to do if give the current password and the new one to the portrait. I must go back to breakfast now, I have schedules to pass out." And with that she swept back down the corridor and out the tapestry.

"Okey dokey." Lily said cheerfully "Let's go in and see what it looks like!"

"Ha, I get to see it before James!" Remus said with a smirk

"Mmhm," Lily replied. "Tweek." She said to the portrait and then clambered through the hole that was revealed.

Meanwhile, back in the Marauders dorm, the rest of the Marauders were searching for Remus' dot on the Marauder's map.

"There he is!" exclaimed Sirius, pointing at Remus' dot. It was in the Great Hall beside Lily's and McGonagall's. "They're probably getting their schedules."

"Yeah," replied James. But he was not thinking about what they were doing, or even of Remus. Anytime he was reminded of Lily he forgot about everything else except her.

Hey look, they're leaving with McGonagall." noted Peter

"Where are they going?" asked James

"How am I supposed to know? Just watch them." Snapped Sirius

"It looks like they're coming back to the tower." Peter said helpfully, but just then they turned into a concealed corridor.

"Or not"

"Why are they going in there? It's a dead end. Look, they've stopped."

"Maybe McGonagall lured them in there to kill them" Sirius said conspiratorially.

"Very funny Padfoot, but McGonagall is leaving, and they're staying." James replied

"Maybe they're dead."

"Then they'd disappear from the map!"

"Maybe it takes a second."

"McGonagall didn't kill them okay?"

"Maybe she was Imperiused." Sirius said, enjoying how riled up James was getting. He had always been sensitive about the subject of Lily's safety.

"Uh, guys?" Peter said tentatively

"What, Wormtail?" James snapped irritably.

"They disappeared."

"Wow! This room is amazing!" Lily cried, staring wide eyed at the Head's common room. It had a fire that was crackling merrily, surrounding by red and gold couches and armchairs. In the corner of the room there were two desks sitting across from each other, with a book shelf beside each one. There were three doors that led off to other rooms. The door on the right said 'Head Girl' and the one on the left said 'Head Boy'. The middle door was unmarked, so Lily pushed it open. Inside was a huge bathroom. The tub was almost the same size as the prefects' pool sized tub. She walked back over to Remus who was standing by the book shelves.

"I am sooo jealous of James right now. This is too cool." He said gesturing around the room.

"It's great" Breathed Lily "Let's go see what the bedrooms look like!" She grabbed him by the wrist again and pulled him over to the door labeled 'Head Girl'. Inside there was a giant four poster bed with Gryffindor colours. The soft carpet had a lion emblazed on it, and a wardrobe sat in the corner beside a full length mirror. There was a vanity on the other side of the mirror and a desk in front of the window.

"You get two desks? Why on earth would you need two desks?"" Remus asked incredulously

"That's all you can say?" Lily said playfully "This place has everything, and all you can say is 'you get two desks'?"

Remus laughed and said "Well, normal people only need one desk. But of course the Head Girl is not a normal person."

"Oh shut up." Lily laughed. "This is great! I love it."

"It is pretty great, but we should go back downstairs. If someone walks in they might get the wrong idea. Both of us up in the Head Girl's room together, all alone." Remus smirked with a wink.

"Ugh! You've been spending way too much time with Sirius." But they went downstairs anyway.

"What do you mean they disappeared?" James said hurrying over to look for himself

;

"I mean I was watching them, and then suddenly Lily disappeared, and then Moony."

"Are you sure that they didn't just walk away?" asked Sirius, concerned.

"No, they just disappeared."

"We should go over there and see what's going on." Suggested Sirius. They agreed and James grabbed the map and invisibility cloak

In answer to Sirius' questioning gaze he explained "So that no one stops us. For any reason."

Once they arrived in the corroder that they had last seen Remus and Lily's dots there was nothing there.

"Um, they're not here." Sirius said

"Thanks for pointing out the obvious Pads." James snapped. He was beginning to get worried. "Did anybody else come through here after they disappeared"

"You had the map. Did you see anyone?"

"No, but they've got to be around here somewhere. Start looking for a passage or something."

"Our friends are probably looking for us Lils," Remus said suddenly "We've been in here for a while."

"Oh ya! They have no idea where we are! We should go find them so that they don't worry."

"And you have to find Prongs and tell him about this place."

"Dammit. I had forgotten about that. I don't want to have to talk to him Rem." Lily whined

Remus laughed and stood up, offering her his hand "I'll come with you so that you won't be alone with him."

Lily smiled gratefully and took his hand. As they approached the portrait hole Lily asked, where do you think they are?"

"I don't know. Probably doing something against the rules somewhere."

"Look, I have to find my friends!" Sirius yelled at the portrait "I know they were here, where did they go?"

"Yelling will not help you." The portrait snapped back. "I refuse to tell someone as ride as yourself anything." But just then the portrait swung open.

"Lilykins!" Sirius exclaimed as Lily hopped out of the Head's common room. James' head snapped up

"Hey Sirius! Whatcha doing here?" Lily said with a smile, moving over to allow Remus to clamber through the hole.

"Moony!" Cried Sirius, ignoring Lily's question "Where have you been?"

"Hey Pads. McGonagall showed Lily and I the Head's common room, it's pretty amazing in there."

"Wait, why would McGonagall show you the Head's room? Prongs is Head Boy."

"Oh, well…" Remus started to answer, but Lily cut in.

"Dumbledore decided that appointing Potter was a mistake."

Sirius' jaw dropped open and Remus hid his smile.

"Oh, yeah. I'm the new Head Boy." Remus said, playing along. "James didn't really want to be Head Boy in the first place anyway though, so I thought it would be okay. You don't mind, do you Prongs?"

" Wha?" James said, coming out of his stupor. This couldn't be happening. Finally he had an excuse to be around Lily and it was taken away. He hadn't even done anything this year.

"You don't mind, do you?" Remus repeated.

"Oh, of course not." James lied.

"Well that's good." Lily said, barely containing a smile at James' obvious lie "I was afraid you were going to throw a fit or something."

This was too much for Remus who burst out laughing and said, "Oh you should see your faces!"

Lily joined him in laughing at their stunned faces. Peter was standing with his mouth slightly open, while beside him James had a puzzled look.

Sirius on the other hand had a look of dawning comprehension. Slowly a smile stretched across his face and he let out a bark of laughter. He walked up to where Remus was bent over in laughter and Lily was hanging off of Remus to stay standing and clapped Remus on the back.

"Nice." He said, "Very nice."

Well, there you go. I don't like this chapter too much, but I hope that you don't hate it. Please review. I would appreciate constructive criticism to make my writing, and your reading this, better!
