The sun had risen a few hours before, making the sky shine with smile. Lily got up at 10:45am, regretting staying up so late. She had only one hour and forty-five minutes of sleep, before she was to attend a prefect meeting, and she had no choice but to attend since she was head girl.
Slowly she got up and out of bed. Lily looked at herself in the mirror. She grunted at her reflection. "Just lovely." Yawning, she grabbed a sweater and headed over to James' room to make sure he was up.
Lily knocked on the door, but got no response. "James?" She called, but couldn't hear him move. Slowly she turned the door knob into James' room. "Hello?"
Looking around Lily saw that James was sprawled out on his bed, topless. She could feel her face growing red, but just couldn't tear her eyes away. She slowly crept over to his sleeping figure and poked him. "Noodle-head, its time to get up. We have a prefect meeting to go to in like five minutes."
James rolled over, "To early. Must get more sleep." As he went to roll over, he grabbed on to Lily's arm, bringing her on top of him.
"James!" Lily laughed.
"I'm sleeping, I don't know what I'm doing."
Lily giggled. "Well wake up! We gotta go."
James looked at her. "Maybe I don't wanna."
Lily laughed. She pushed herself up off of him. "You have no choice in the matter. You're head boy now."
James sighed and sat up. "Give me two seconds."
Lily rolled off his bed and went out the door. "You better be ready."
--
The two head students went the hallway as fast as they could since, neither wanted to be late for their very first prefect meeting.
Lily stopped in front of McGonagalls door, where the meeting was supposed to happen. "Ok, well lets just pretend that we meant to be late so that we don't look bad."
James shrugged. "It's not like their going to judge us. I mean we could just tell them that we rescheduled the meeting, and obviously no one had checked the times again."
"James! That wouldn't be very nice." Lily laughed. Then regained her composure and opened the door to see that all the prefects were already there, annoyed that the heads were late.
"Hello everyone. And thank you for being early." Lily smiled. James laughed inwardly at Lily. He was surprised that she had used his suggestion. "We're going to start this meeting with the scheduling of patrolling. For the fifth year prefects, I'm sure you are aware of your duties. James and I had discussed that we thought it would be best for prefects to patrol between the hours of nine and ten. While sixth and seventh years patrol between the hours of ten and twelve, all on weekdays."
James stood behind Lily, dumbstruck. He had no recollection of talking about this with Lily.
"And of course as always James and I, will patrol weekends." Lily looked down at her parchment. "Ok, well we'll get fifth years to sign up first, on which ever day is suitable to you and your partner."
James stood back as he watched each group of prefects look over the schedule then add their names in. He snuck up behind Lily. "So we get to spend a lot of time together. Sounds like fun."
James watched as a blush crept up the back of Lily's neck. "I'm sure that there'll be a lot to get done."
--
"Lily and I have been thinking. Dumbledore has asked us to plan some events this year, to set it apart from every other year. If you have any ideas we would like you to put them down on this parchment that we are passing around." James handed off the scroll in his hand to the dark haired girl sitting near the front. "It could be anything. We were thinking of maybe a masquerade for Halloween. Or a winter carnival thingie that Lily knows about."
A few whispers lit up the room with excitement from the students. "And with that, the meeting is coming to an end. Is there any questions?" Lily looked around. She wasn't all to pleased with who was prefects but she knew that she had no choice to put up with them for another year. But this year she knew would be a bit better, since they had to listen to her. Her eyes scanned the crowd, falling on Snape sitting with Bellatrix Black.
"Ok, if there aren't any questions you are allowed to leave." James gathered the list of ideas from Remus. "Did I do all right?"
"Yeah besides the fact that your fly was undone the whole time." Remus snickered.
James' face went beat red, when his hand flew down to check his fly. "Bugger off. It wasn't even open."
Remus sprinted out of the room. "I still got ya'."
James turned around laughing. "Ready to go back?"
"Yep. Did you get the list thingie back?" Lily asked looking through her papers.
"Got it right here!" James said lifting the paper to show the red headed girl.
"Sweet. Let's go."

The week started over once again, and the many students of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry found themselves sitting in the many desks that made up the classrooms. One class in particular was sitting in the dungeons, half trying to endure the minutes of Professor Slughorn, while the other half laughed freely at one anothers mistakes.
"All I want to do, is go back up stairs and curl up in my warm, soft bed." Kela whined. She was partnered with Lily for that days potion.
Lily yawned. "I know. It's going to take me a while to get used to have to patrol so much."
"Yeah, but it's not like your complaining. You get to spend even more time, with Jamsie-poo, over there." Kela pointed to James, who was talking intently to Sirius Black about something.
Lily's face went blank. "Well, its not like I have a choice."
"Oh, come on Lils. Just admit that you like him. I mean he's not half bad looking, and he's practically in love with you." Kela looked at her friend.
Lily bit her bottom lip. "I don't know if I can date him. Too much has happened."
--
"So how's patrolling going with Evans?" Sirius asked.
James smiled. "Quite well. Considering we've only patrolled once together."
"Yeah, well at least she's talking to you."
"No luck with Miss Kela I take it."
"Nah, she'll come around. Eventually."
"Yeah eventually. Once she's gone through all the school. Then I'm sure she'd take you in."
"Thanks man. Just what I needed." Sirius rolled his eyes at his friend.
"Anytime, Padfoot."

Lily sat in her room, hunched over her transfiguration essay that was do the next morning.
"What are you writing?" James asked from behind her, as he came into their common room.
Lily looked up at the raven haired boy. "Just the essay McGonagall gave us."
"How much do you have left?"
"About two inches."
James smiled. "Great. When your done, call me. Cause the sun should be setting soon." With that James walked into his room.
Lily watched his door close, with the words '...the sun should be setting soon.' still ringing through her head. She loved watching the sunset and rise. It was one of God's creations that was always brand new every time she saw it. But how did he know that she had been wanting to watch it all night?
--
"James?" Lily knocked softly on his door. "I'm done."
The door swung open to reveal James, with a sack over his shoulder. "Sweet. Let's get going then."
Lily stopped. "Wait, where are we going? And what are you bringing with you?"
James looked her straight in the eyes. "Up for a little adventure, Evans?"
Lily bit her lip. "Back to Evans then I see."
James smirked. He loved how she never missed a beat. "Only if you don't hurry your butt up and come with me."
She smiled at him. How could she not of seen what a great guy he was six years ago? She truly didn't know how she had went through six years of hating him. He was just so sweet and one of the nicest people that she knew.
--
"So you do realize that the sun is going down?" Lily remarked as they went further and further away from the castle.
"Well, we would of been here faster, if someone hadn't decided to question my every move."
Lily stuck her toungue out at him. She couldn't help it. Even though she was almost of age, she still couldn't help but feel she was only eleven again.
James smiled at her. "You are setting quite the example to the younger students by doing that."
Lily giggled. "It's not like there's anyone out here anyway." She turned to see that James had taken her to the top of a hill, where she had never been before. "Where are we?"
"Don't worry we're still in Hogwarts grounds." James dropped his sack and pulled out some blankets. "Just in case."
Lily smiled. "How long did it take for you to plan this?"
"Oh, just a couple of hours." James smiled at the red-headed girl. "Come here. Or you'll miss the best part."
Lily sat down beside James, slightly leaning on him. Her breath was caught from her as she saw the impeccable colors come before her. "It's gorgeous."
"Just like someone I know." James whispered in her ear.
