A/N – Well, here's the second chapter. Thank you to the person who reviewed, I'm hoping to get more reviews for this chapter, as it starts to get a little more interesting…slowly. I apologise for the long wait, but my FanFiction went glitchy on me. Anyway, if I stick to my plan, then the next chapters will be very interesting…This is just the run up XD.

Disclaimer: As I said before, only the storyline belongs to me. JK Rowling owns EVERYTHING else…except any OCs I introduce, but there won't be many of them.

Potter? Really? How could Dumbledore be so stupid? This had to be some ridiculous prank, it just had to be. I mean, fair enough, he had good grades, butso did half the other guys in the school. Why couldn't Amos Diggory have been head boy? I wouldn't have mind sharing a room with him…Oh God. I had to share a room with Potter. Suddenly, I felt the urge to jump out the window and run as far away as possible.

"What's wrong, Evans? If I didn't know any better, I'd say you weren't pleased to see me." James supressed the urge to grin and instead turned back to latest issue of the Daily Prophet, flicking through it until he reached the Quidditch pages at the back. I realised I hadn't moved yet. I sat down and gazed out of with window, my mind reeling with awful, awful thoughts. I had to calm down. OK, so I had to share a room with Potter, do rounds of the castle with him and go to meetings with him, but other than that, I could just ignore him like I usually do, right? I spent most of my time thinking along these lines until James woke me from my thoughts.

"I'm going to go and get changed. Try not to miss me too much." He grinned, getting up and leaving the compartment, presumably to go to the bathroom. I picked up the latest edition of the Daily Prophet, which he'd left on the seat, and started to flick through it. The first page was completely filled with a report on a Death Eater attack that had killed an entire family of muggles, the second a similar story and the same on the third. I put it down with a sigh. Would this ever end? There was a knock at the door and, without waiting for any reply, Sirius, Remus, Emmeline, Alice and Marlene filled into the compartment, all laughing and joking loudly. Peter, I noticed, was nowhere to be seen. Sirius practically jumped onto the seat next to me, knocking Alice to the ground with a thud. Ignoring Alice's glares, he smiled at me, but then frowned.

"Lils, shouldn't you be changed by now? We'll be arriving in," he looked down at his watch "2 minutes". Oh God.

"WHAT? AND YOU DIDN'T THINK OF TELLING ME EARLIER?" I screamed, grabbing my robes, that were already out of my trunk, and running out of the compartment and down the corridor, 'accidentally' elbowing a very confused Potter out of the way.

Hogwarts looked as amazing as ever, I thought, as I gazed out of the window in the carriages, on our way to the castle. Sirius had his arm around my waist, sitting next to me, and he was chatting animatedly about some stupid Quidditch team to James, who was sitting opposite with Remus, Peter, who had appeared just in time to get into a carriage, and Marlene. Emmeline and Alice were sitting on the other side of Sirius. We were all squashed together, although Sirius didn't seem to mind. I laughed as we passed the first years, looking terrified as the boats glided across the lake by themselves. Six years ago and that would have been me. That was a weird thought. I vaguely paid attention to the conversation, although most of my attention was taken up by Sirius, until we reached the steps that led to the school. As I walked up the steps, I realised something. This was the last time I would do this. This was the last time I would walk up these steps for a new year at Hogwarts.

"Welcome to another year at Hogwarts!" Dumbledore's voice boomed around the Great Hall.

"I hope you have a good time, but here are the rules, just in case anyone," he glanced purposefully at the Marauders, who grinned back at him, "needed clarification. As always the forbidden forest is out of bounds, please do not cast spells at others in the corridors, first years are not to be supplied with their own broomsticks and only 3rd years and up can be granted permission to go to Hogsmeade. Anyone who breaks these rules will be punished…Now, I think I have been speaking for long enough, and I know you are all only here for the feast, so enjoy!" And with that, countless plates of food appeared on the tables.

"You two are such pigs!" Marlene groaned, smacking James, who's mouth was full of food, on the back of the head and looking at Sirius in disgust.

"Hey! Quidditch tryouts are in a few weeks, and I need all the carbs I can get. Seeing as someone," Sirius turned to glare at James, "Won't even let his best mate onto the team if he doesn't reach his amazingly high standards."

"Oh, fine then, I'll let us lose to the Slytherins!" James smirked. Sirius opened his mouth to respond, then shut it again.

"Exactly." James grinned, triumphant.

"Well, I'm completely full. I'm off to the common room, anyone coming?" Emmeline asked, getting up to leave.

"Can't. Me and Evans have to go with Dumby and see the Head's Dorm." James said, and when he looked at me I swear I saw something flash into his eyes, but before I could tell what it was, it was gone.

"And this, Miss Evans and Mr Potter, is the Head's Dorm" Dumbledore declared, swinging open the door with a flourish. I stood in the door, speechless, as I took in the room around me.

A/N – Ok, for some reason, I don't like this chapter for some reason, but I suppose the next chapters will more than make up for it. Anyway, remember to review, the more you review, the faster I update :)
