Chapter 2
"I wonder how Lily is getting on?" Marlene said, thoughtfully, as the three girls made their way down the train, searching for an empty compartment.
"Here," said Alice, stopping at a vacant one. "Might as well get it why we can."
"Why are you worrying anyway?" asked Mary, heaving her trunk onto the rack. "It's Lily, she was born to be Head Girl."
"Yes, but was James Potter born to be Head Boy?" Marlene said, seriously.
Mary and Alice just gaped at her.
"Head...Boy? You...you're Head Boy." Lily sank slowly onto the plush seat of the prefects compartment.
James Potter rolled his eyes and ran a hand through his messy black hair, smirking. "Lucky me, eh Evans?" He winked at her. "Well, lucky you, really."
Lily opened her mouth to retort but was interrupted by the glass door sliding open and the prefects trooping in. Remus Lupin, one of James' friends, gave James a thumbs up before sitting down beside him.
Lily nervously stood up from the seat. Glancing at James, who was engrossed in a whispered conversation with Remus, she grimaced in his general direction and began to outline the various duties a prefect would have to do. Finishing her speech, she took an step back and, unwillingly, gestured towards James. Remus elbowed James, hard, in the ribs and James hurriedly scrambled to his feet.
"Er...hi." He said, rubbing his torso where Remus had elbowed him. "Yeah, welcome to a new year at Hogwarts, blah de blah de blah..."-there were a few titters of laughter-"I'm James Potter, your Head Boy, but of course, you all know that." He grinned, crookedly, speaking with his trademark arrogance and overconfidence. "And..erm..like Lily-I mean Evans-like Evans said about you're...duties. I don-don't really need to go over them,"-it was clear he hadn't prepared anything-"Just don't abuse you're position, you are all symbols of responsibility and stuff. And no slacking off, even if I do." Here he turned red slightly.
Good, thought Lily, He knows he's irresponsible, at least a little.
"Yes, so that's it everyone." she said, stepping forward again. "When we arrive, you're needed to help round up the first years. Any questions?"
Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew were devouring a mountain of Chocolate Frogs when James found their compartment.
"Prongs!" yelled Sirius, chocolate covering his face and in his wavy black hair. He launched himself at James who stumbled with the force.
"Easy Pads. How many Frogs have you eaten?"
"Same as Peter." Sirius replied, shoving another one, whole, into his mouth.
"Hey James" said Peter, waving a chocolate covered hand at him.
"Hi Wormy! Throw us one of those I'm starving."
Unwrapping the little sparkly package, James told them about the meeting in the prefects carriage.
"And how was the almighty Evans?" asked Sirius.
James shrugged. "The usual."
"Which is what?" asked Peter.
"Fantastic, smart, beautiful, amaz-"
"Yeah, yeah," Sirius interrupted "We've heard it all before. Pass us another Chocolate Frog there, Pete before I die of hunger."
"Hey, where's Moony got to?" Peter asked, looking around the compartment as if he expected Remus to be lurking in the window frame.
"Stopped off to talk to Frank in the carriage next door." replied James.
Suddenly, his head jerked up as a shadowy, greasy-haired figure slithered past the compartment.
"Well, would you look who it is." smirked Sirius.
