Chapter One: Meeting the heads

It was a crowded day in Diagon Alley a week before September first when all Hogwarts students would be heading back to their second home. Everyone was bustling around trying to get last minute things checking over their lists hoping they hadn't forgotten anything.

Lily Evans emerged from an ice cream parlor, her long red hair was flowing behind her and her vibrant emerald green eyes were sparkling with laughter. She was with her two best mates in the whole world Piper Cromwell and Jade Caulfield.

Piper had thick golden locks that came down just past her shoulders and bright clear blue eyes. Lily and Piper had become friends almost instantly back in their first year when they shared a compartment on their way to Hogwarts. Piper was half muggle, her mom being the muggle and her dad being the wizard. Her family had a lot of money and Piper helped them spend it by shopping… a lot. Piper was a shopaholic who liked to date around and never had a long term relationship.

Jade had long black hair with electrifying gray eyes and was a pure blood wizard. Jade was extremely loud and funny and had a tendency to be very blunt with a short temper. She was someone who could easily tell you how it was instead of side stepping the truth trying to spare your feelings. Jade, Lily and Piper had all become friends after their first Charms lesson. Jade had screamed and told off James Potter for pulling a prank on Lily and Piper.

Lily shuddered. Just the thought of James Potter made her skin crawl. He was a big headed egotistical toerag who thought he was better than everyone else and could charm any girl. Well, he could pretty much charm any girl, any girl except for Lily.

James was one of the most popular guys at Hogwarts along with Sirius Black. Those two were practically connected at the hip. Sirius was just as bad as James, maybe even worse. He had longish thick black hair that fell into his blue eyes making him look very handsome. Girls were usually throwing themselves at Sirius, and he was always there to catch them, until he got bored then he let them drop.

Then there was Remus Lupin, their other best mate. Remus could actually be all right… when he wanted to be; otherwise he was just as bad as the other two. He had sandy blonde hair with brown eyes and was usually quiet, and could always be found reading a good book. He didn't date as much as James and Sirius, only having the occasional girlfriend.

Finally there was Peter Pettigrew. Peter was a plump boy with blonde hair and watery brown eyes. He wasn't as good looking as the other three, and had a lot harder time getting a girlfriend, but he still did, mostly because he was friends with James and Sirius.

The four of them made up a group they liked to call 'the maurders'.

Everyone in school loved the pranks they were always pulling and basically worshipped them. Everyone except Lily and her friends, they actually found them quite annoying.

"Lily, you all right? You've got a sour look on your face?" Piper asked.

Lily looked up from her ice cream completely unaware of the fact that she had been zoning out and smiled, "Yeah, I'm fine, I was just thinking about--" she was about to finish when a voice from behind her cut her off,

"Me of course," James Potter's deep voice drawled.

Lily's eyes immediately narrowed and turned to see James behind her with Sirius and Remus.

"Contrary to popular belief Potter, but the world doesn't revolve around you," Lily said with sarcastic sweetness.

James just grinned, not fazed at all by Lily's coldness, "Really? I had no idea! Thanks for clearing that up Evans, I owe you one. How 'bout I repay you by taking you to Hogsmeade, on a date?" James asked earnestly.

Lily rolled her eyes in annoyance, she was sick of him constantly asking her out, "As appealing as that sounds, I think I'll pass," Lily said trying to keep her voice calm.

"That's all right, maybe next time," James said sitting in the seat next to her.

Lily pursed her lips wishing he would go away, "I don't remember any of us asking you to sit down,"

James grinned even wider, "That's all right, I forgive you, I know you just forgot to ask," James said arrogantly.

"What do you three want anyway, and where's your tag along?" Jade asked irritated that Sirius had chosen the seat next to her to sit in.

"Who Peter?" Sirius asked, "Ah well, you see, Peter got real excited when he finally passed his apparition test after failing it seven times and tried to apparate over to James's backyard to show us. But being the dull git he is, he never made it to James's yard,"

"No, unfortunately he ended up in some muggle girl's bedroom and the girl thought he was a burglar and beat him to a bloody pulp. He's at home recuperating," James said ruffling his hair.

"And for your first question, we just wanted to enjoy the company of you lovely ladies," Sirius flirted with Jade leaning closer to her.

"My face needs space Black!" Jade spat pushing him away from her. Jades took deep breaths trying to keep calm.

'I will not hit black, I will not hit Black, I will not hit Black…but I want to so bad!' Jade thought in her head as she crossed her arms and leaned back moodily in her chair.

Seeing as the conversation was talking a tailspin for disaster Piper tried starting a civilized one, "So Remus, did you get head boy?" Piper asked hoping this would take their attention away from hating each other.

Remus smiled, "No, actually, I didn't,"

This seemed to distract Lily from glaring at James as she sat up straighter a look of disbelief on her face, "What? You didn't? Then who did?" Lily asked astounded.

She had thought that Remus would have definitely got head boy. He was extremely smart and had been prefect along side Lily since fifth year. She had just assumed that he was the one who got appointed head boy. Now she had no idea who it could be.

"He's sitting right next to you," James said happily.

Lily Froze.

'No, no, no, no! Please NO!' Lily screamed in her head. She slowly turned around to see James Potter holding up his head boy badge as Lily's eyes widened in horror. There was NO way he could be head boy!

How—Why—Who!

"Are you kidding me! Who in their right bloody mind would make you head boy!" Lily yelled incredulously.

"That would be Dumbledore!" Sirius piped in.

Lily shot him a death glare and turned back to James holding out her hand,

"Let me see your badge,"

James handed it over to her and she examined it carefully trying to see if it was a fake or not.

"Did you knick this off the real head boy?" Lily asked suspiciously.

That was definitely a possibility. James went to great lengths to try and annoy Lily. She wouldn't put it past him to knick the head boy badge off the real head boy and waltz around pretending it was his.

James just shook his head and started to laugh, "Evans it says my name right on it! Why is it so hard to believe, I mean I was the top in most of my classes,"

This was true. Lily hated to admit it but James was extremely smart when it came to magic. He was irritatingly smart. He barely had to lift a book to get top grades which was something that annoyed Lily to no end because she had to actually work for her grades.

"So! You have absolutely no respect for the rules!" Jade cried just as dumbfounded as Lily had been.

Piper and Remus sat quietly watching their friends bicker back and forth not wanting to interrupt incase they tried to bite there heads off.

"I wouldn't say none," James said simply.

"Just very little," Sirius finished taking his thumb and index finger and putting them close together to indicate how much respect James had for the rules.

Remus cleared his throat and quickly cut Jade off before she had a chance to start yelling, "Do you know who head girl is?" Remus asked.

Piper and Jade both smiled.

"Why yes. Yes we do," She said eating some of her ice cream.

James stared at the two girls waiting for them so say something, "Well are you going to tell us who it is?" James asked after they said nothing more.

Jade shrugged locking her eyes with his, "How bad do you want to know?"

She asked having fun seeing James get irritated.

Lily rolled her eyes and stood up abruptly, "We should get going. I told my mom that we'd meet her in the Leaky cauldron ten minutes ago,"

Piper and Jade stood up as well still grinning from ear to ear.

"Wait! Tell us who head girl is first!" James demanded standing up. He wished they would just tell them. He really hoped it wasn't anyone like Bellatrix Black, which would just be horrid.

But instead of telling him, the three girls just ignored him as they started walking into the crowd towards the Leaky Cauldron. Once they were far enough away Jade yelled,

"It's Lily!"

Lily glanced back before turning into the Leaky Cauldron to see James grinning from ear to ear.
