James Potter. He was Head Boy?! It couldn't be. Dumbledore would surely know better than that.

"Give it back, Potter." Lily fixed her shocked face into a stern one.

James looked startled. "What?"

"The badge. You did steal the Head Boy badge, didn't you?"

"Wh-what? No!"

Lily rolled her eyes. "Of course not, Potter. Now whose is it?"

"It's mine. I'm Head Boy!"

"Hmm. Maybe it's Remus'. This is not a funny joke, Potter!"

"Lily, Lily! Jeez, calm down!" When Lily settled for not shouting anymore and instead giving him her perfected Lily's-Look-Of-Death, he went on. "I swear, it's mine. Dumbledore gave me this over the summer. Please, give me a chance. I'm going to change. I promise."

Lily thought about his words. Well, maybe he's not lying. I guess a truce wouldn't hurt. You know, even if he broke his promise, that's his problem, not mine. And it's our last year at Hogwarts. I'll never see him again afterwards. Oh god, he's gorgeous. Wait, what?!

He is too!

Oh, it's Potter! You know you guys would never work together!

If you actually tried, it would!

Oh, just shut up.

Lily looked up, wide-eyed. James was smiling at her, almost as if he knew. No, he couldn't know. He was just waiting for her to answer. Taking a calming breath, she opened her mouth to speak.

"I offer a truce, Potter. I will work agreeably with you if," she paused, "you do not ask me out anymore."

James' face fell. Aaaaah. He's adorable.

Oh, not again, you silly girl.

Well, he is.

No, no he's not.

Sure he isn't.

Fine. He is cute, but it's not like I fancy him or anything. It's just hormones, my dear.

Sure. Just hormones. Of course.

Well, what can I say? It's James Potter. Now this conversation is over.

"…Okay." James defeated voice cut through the air. "I won't ask you out anymore." He changed the subject. "We should, uh, get ready for the Prefects, yeah?"

"Yeah."

Lily smiled a polite no-teeth-smile and got some notes out of her bag. James walked over and they worked together in silence.
