POV: James

James woke up early in the morning, something he mostly never done. He needed to stop. Stop thinking about her. Her silky auburn hair, her creamy skin, her snapping green eyes, her perfect lips, her slender waist… With a groan, James forced his thoughts away from her and got up to take a very cold shower. He needed to calm his… uh… his… never mind.

As he walked out of the portrait hole (the Fat Lady had squawked something about how early it was and why in the world he was up already) James thought of the words from last night. I will work agreeably with you if, she hadpaused then, her lips parted, and James had the biggest desire to kiss her, you do not ask me out anymore.

He had very dazedly said yes. But now, he wanted to just be friends and work his way up from there. It couldn't be too hard, could it?

POV: Lily

Lily woke up happily in the morning. "Wake up, wake up!" Lily sang as she pulled back the curtains of every bed in her dorm.

"Ugh…" Marlene blinked sleepily up at her.

Lily giggled. "We're back at Hogwarts! First day! Get up already, sleepyheads!" Lily pulled on her robes and used bobby pins to smooth back her sleek, waist-length hair. She dabbed on a tiny bit of makeup and was finally ready.

By then, Emmeline, Marlene, and Alice were already awake. Marlene had dancing light brown eyes, curly brown hair, and a cheery personality. Alice had thin, pale blonde hair and huge blue eyes. She was meek and demure. Emmeline was a half-blood, but the McKinnons and Prewetts were both wealthy, ancient families.

When the four girls were ready, they made their way down to the Great Hall, where the clink-clink of plates could be heard. As they started eating, the "Marauders", James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew came down. James caught Lily's eye. Both of them blushed and looked away.

My dear, I think you like him!

No. I don't. And technically, we're the same person, so why do you call yourself – why do I call you – why do I call myself – ARRRGH!

Yes, yes, whatever. Now to focus on the more important issue at hand… You fancy James Potter!

I DO NOT! JUST BE QUIET!

"Er…. Lily?" Lily looked around and saw that half of the Gryffindor table was looking at her curiously.

Lily's face burned. "Uh, I did not just say that aloud," she muttered.

Marlene grinned. "Who were you talking to, hmm? Telling them to be quiet… why? What was the topic?"

Lily shook her head and turned away, hearing Marlene chortle behind her. Professor McGonagall came around and passed out their schedules, and the rest of breakfast passed rather quickly. It turned out that the girls all had the same first class, Defense Against the Dark Arts, so they rose and started walking to class.
