Lily Evans twisted and turned around on her bed, with an arm over her eyes trying to block out the direct sunlight that was streaming from her nearby window. Ugh! She thought as she finally rose from the covers. "Stupid bloody shades, they never work, stupid bloody sun" Lily muttered as she got up to close her shades. Lily climbed back to her bed and started to close her eyes when suddenly there was a 'tap, tap' coming from the window. “What now?" Lily sighed. She got up once again and opened her window just then a chestnut color owl entered the small bedroom and dropped a letter onto Lily's open hands. Oh finally! Lily exclaimed. What took you so long? Lily scolded the owl. The owl in response tooted happily and flew out the window. Lily tore open the letter and read;
Ms. Lily Evans,

Lily was grinning from ear to ear. YES! YES! YES! She did a little dance jig around her room and started to giggle. I knew I would be head girl this year; after all I have been working extremely hard for the past few years in order to gain this title. Lily had studied endless hours into the night, did extra work that was not intended to be done, got outstanding on all her homework, exams, quiz, O.W.L.s she even made time to tutor those younger students who needed help, and yet she still had the time to read. It all sounds crazy however realistic. Lily once again read the letter and opened the envelope to see a gold badge with embedded initials of H.G on it. Lily carefully placed it in her palm as if it was made of delicate glass. She moved to her bureau. She moved her bright red thick hair to one shoulder and pinned the badge to her tank top. She sighed and took a step back to admire her red hair and her green emerald eyes and the gold head girl badge that was now hers. A sudden thought then knocked her out of her reverie. Whos the head boy? A couple miles away a boy would be woken up by a peck of an owl and an old sock.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~
"Catch me if you can" a girl shouted back playfully as she ran bare foot through a meadow. She had long red thick hair, vivid green eyes and wore a long lime green dress that trailed behind her as she ran.
"Your wish my command!" a boy with untidy jet black hair, hazel eyes hidden behind a pair of round spectaculars yelled back. He like the girl was running bare foot, except that he was a wearing black straight jean, and a white button downed long sleeve shirt that was folded to his elbows.
The girl giggled and once she was hidden behind an oak tree, she stopped and waited for the boy to run by where she was hiding.
"Lily!" the boy called again, "you should know by now that you can’t hide from me" he said with a teasing tone. Behind the tree Lily tried to stifle a giggle, as if Lily thought. The boy came running towards her direction and stopped in front of the oak tree, Lily then jumped out and threw herself into the boy’s unexpected arms. "Gotcha!" Lily exclaimed. He chuckled as he gently rolled over her. "You always seem to surprise me Ms. Lily Evans"
"That’s my job isn't it Mr. James Potter" she said flirtatiously as she started to tickle him. "Stop that Lils" James begged between laughs. He then rolled over to the cool grass as Lily rolled on top of him. "Hmm" she muttered as she stopped tickling him.
"What" James asked, a bit concerned. She turned back to him with a small smile and said "This meadow is extremely beautiful." James looked into Lily's emerald eyes and slowly moved the curls that were covering a side of her face. “Not as beautiful as you are my love and that really is an understatement" he said with a smirk. Lily giggled and started to stroke his cheek. She looked into James's hazel eyes and slowly whispered "I love you"
"I love you" James whispered as he inched his face to Lily's lips. "Lily " James whispered again as his lips were just centimeters apart from her-
THUD!!
A sudden smelly object was thrown to his face.
"What the bloody hell? Padfoot!!!!!" James shouted as he slowly got up from the carpet floor. He picked up the smelly sock that his best friend, Sirius threw at his face in order to wake him up. James threw the slimly old sock to the farthest corner of the room as he climbed back to his bed, while Sirius was laughing like a mad man on the floor.
"You know you are a slimly old git and you should be calmed damned to the deepest pits of hell " James muttered as he put the covers over his head. Sirius finally down and kept the humor to a minimum, with just a grin plastered on his face.
"Oh c’mon you’re just sad that you couldn't kiss your dear Lily flower in your dirty dream Jamise"
"Oh shut up Padfoot" James grunted as he chucked a pillow to Sirius's face but missed.
"You weren't saying that when you’re muttering in your sleep, hmm how did it go again? Oh yea... Lily, Lily you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, oh Lils…" Sirius said while wiggling his eyebrows and puckering his lips to make kissing sounds.
James chucked another pillow directly towards Sirius's head. This time he didn’t miss.
"JAMES! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE HAIR? NEVER TOUCH AND NEVER EVEN TRY TO THROW STUFF AT THE HAIR DUDE! MY HAIR COMPLETES ME! I WOULD DIE IF IT WAS MESSED UP AND THEN AFTER I WOULD KILL YOU! AND STOP LAUGHING! THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION" Sirius bellowed as he rushed to the nearest mirror and combed through his hair as James laughed at his bed.
"Well then mate, don’t mess around with me and I won’t mess around with you"
"Fine" Sirius grumbled. “go back to sleep with your dear Lily flower"
"Don’t mind if I do, Padfoot” James smirked as he yet again closed his eyes. Lily he sighed, if only you were mine, if only you gave me a chance. Just one date to prove myself. That’s all I need to convince her that I've changed. Changed for her.
PECK! PECK!
"What now Padfoot?" James cried out load as he felt a sharp tap at his leg. James then heard a hoot coming from the end of his bed. James moved the covers off his head and saw a brown barn owl holding out two letters.
"Oh the school letters finally came, Sirius!" James called out. He looked around his room and saw that Sirius had left the room. James got up and stretched a bit. He then untied the letters from the owl and moved the owl to a window. James then opened the letter with his name on it.

James stared at the letter in shock. Holy boggart what just happened? James skimmed through the letter and reread the same sentence again and again. “We are pleased to announce that you were given the honors of being head boy...” Head Boy…. Head Boy. Holy chocolate frogs! I'm head boy!! James thought.
"Finally those letters came its already mid-August" Sirius said as he entered the room with a couple of pieces of toast in his hand. "Ahh... Prongs? You okay mate?" Sirius asked with concern. Yet James remained quiet still staring at the letter.
"Prongs?" What's the matter?" Sirius asked much frustrated.
James slowly turned to Sirius and gave him his letter. Sirius grabbed the letter with his free had (the other hand was still holding the toast) and read. Sirius suddenly dropped his toast and looked at James with his eyebrows raised high. "What the hell is this? Is this supposed to be a joke?" Sirius asked.
"I have no idea, but after reading this over and over, I can much infer that I'm HEAD BOY!!!" James said.
Sirius then erupted with laughter. "You’ ve…ha ha ha… Gotta be...Ha ha ha be mental… ha ha ha... To place you as ... Ha ha …HEAD BOY!" Sirius said in between laughs.
James couldn’t help to laugh on. "I know!! But clearly the letter doesn’t lie"
"Dumbledore must be off his rocker to appoint you to a position in authority, I surely thought Remus would be head boy" Sirius said
“So did I... But c'mon Padfoot, I'm not that bad, I'm best of the whole year, well after Lily, so that must count for something." James said trying to defend himself.
"Well unless you haven't noticed I started to do all my class work, homework, stop pranking younger kids and umm stopped having rows with Evans. I'm a changed man" James said as he moved to his full length mirror.
Sirius started to laugh again. "Yea right, Remus is an illiterate; Peter got all hot over the summer and is bagging man witches, and I’m a virgin!" Sirius joked.
"Make all the jokes you want Padfoot at the end of the day im still a change man."
"Your just doing all of this because of a Ms. Lily Evans. You're love sick!"
"Am not"
"Are too"
"Am not"
"Are too"
"Am not"
"Are too"
"Are too"
"Yes you are!!!"
"Ugh!" James cried out in frustration.
"Well it’s true Prongs. You say you changed your ways and I can make an easy guess for who it’s for." Sirius pried.
James looked down at the letter in his hands and remained quiet.
"That’s what I thought."
"C'mon Sirius, try looking at this in my perspective, this is my last year, my last year at getting Lily. Since the second I laid eyes on her all I want is her. All I think about is her all I dream about is her. I want - no I need her. This is the last year my last chance to have her. And this year, she is going to be mine!" James said determinedly.
"Prongs mate all the girls in our school are dying to have a chance with you and she doesn’t want you five feet near her. What makes her so different after all these years? "
“I don’t know. That’s the problem, every small thing she does lures me in, the way she bites her lip when she’s thinking, the way she puts her hair behind her ear when she's thinking, the way she help those younger students when they need help. She's just really kind and sweet, un-judgmental…” James sighed
Sirius looked thoughtfully at James. He’s love sick. And I know he won’t be the same if he doesn’t have Lily. But that’s okay because James has me and with me nothing can really go wrong.
“Sirius, Mate? Daydream much?” James smirked as he saw a dazed expression on Sirius face.
“I’m peachy James. I just had an idea to get Lily to fall in love with you, I just need to owl some people but no worries James, and I have your back on this one.”
“Umm Padfoot your plans usually don’t turn out very well, especially for me. Remember in fourth year when you hired those card-carrying cupids to follow and recite poems to Lily for Valentine’s Day. She swore to never talk to neither of us for the rest of the year and it was all your fault-”
“Merlin James! That was ONE time! You will never forget that will you? You try to do one good thing for your friends and this is how they treat you” Sirius muttered as he walked out of James bedroom shaking his head. James sighed. I guess it will be one of those years. Sirius with his ideas and me getting the blame for it. James put on his Head Boy badge looked at himself in the mirror and smiled hoping for good year. He then went downstairs for breakfast before Sirius ate all the food left in the house. |
