Surprises, Of the unpleasant variety
Lily waved goodbye to her family.
"Have a good year, sweetheart!" Her mother called. Petunia stood apart from her parents, chatting flirtatiously on her mobile, sparing only a casual wave to her sister. Her father smiled to her.
"Good luck!"
Good luck. She'd need it too. This year was her last year at Hogwarts and she'd been made Head Girl.
Pulling her head back in through the window, she faced her friends.
"It's so good to see you all again." She broke into a relieved smile. "I'm so glad that I have you guys…"
"It's great to you see you too, Lily," smiled Rebecca. The youngest of the four, Rebecca was dramatic and sporting. No embarrassment was embarrassing enough for her. She was fair with a sprinkling of freckles across her face. Her pale face was framed by a tangled mass of long light brown curls.
"We're just going to hang out in this compartment, until you come back, okay?" Sarah informed her. Lily nodded, her face still shining with anticipation.
"Do you know who the Head Boy is?" Lily called as she backed along the corridor, waving to her friends. Sarah said something, but she was too far away to hear her.
"What did you s –" Lily bumped into someone making their way up the corridor behind her, falling to the ground.
"That would be me, Evans." She turned around and looked into the eyes of the most arrogant person at school.
"Potter." She said coolly. "Why would anyone in their right mind make you Head boy?"
"Ouch, she got you there…" A familiar mop of messy hair was just visible from the doorway of a compartment.
"And I'd appreciate it if you minded your own business, Black," snapped Lily impatiently. "So? Out with it Potter. Are you really Head Boy, or are you just wasting my time?" Potter, who hadn't said a word since her 'greeting', smiled.
"Unfortunately for you, and fortunately for me, I really am Head Boy."
Lily had no answer to that.
"Ooh… he got you there, Evans…" Black laughed. Lily rolled her eyes and moved past Potter towards the Prefects compartment.
This was going to be a long, long year.
A/N: This is my first Harry Potter fanfiction, and I would appreciate it if you guys reviewed. I promise the chapters won't be as short as this; this is merely a little introduction, so I can see whether people are interested. If I don't get reviewed, I'll think that no one's interested, so I won't continue. You see, I'm not sure what type of things is appreciated in this section; this is just my attempt.
Virtual chocolate cake for reviewers:D
