This is my new story! Yes, I am still writing Love from Rosie, but I don't have any really good ideas. I will update, but this is the first in a series of multi chapter stories called Final Year. They are about my favorite couples' final years at Hogwarts together. This is the first one: Final Year: Marauders. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I only own the plot.

Chapter 1: Head Boy

Lily Evans sat alone in the Head's compartment, shuffling papers. She was already dressed in her Hogwarts robes, her Head Badge pinned to her chest and her shiny red hair tied in a braid that cascaded down her back. She had been planning this day for weeks, and after meeting up with her best friends Alice Fortesque and Marlene McKinnon, she had left for the Head's department to wait for the Head Boy. She had hoped it was her boyfriend Roger Scotts, also a Muggleborn, but alas, this was not the case. She sat into the red velvet seat, sighing. When was he going to get here? Maybe it was Remus Lupin. He was a kind boy, though friends with the strangest people and maybe his idiotic friends had kept him. She prayed it wasn't a Slytherin, but she figured that even a Slytherin would have showed up to torture her already. Lily pulled out her Head's letter again, hoping to find a clue for the Head Boy's identity:

Dear Miss Evans,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected as Hogwarts's Head Girl this year! This is an honor and we hope that you and our Head Boy will take this seriously. There is a special Head's dormitory behind the statue of Gregory the Sixth on the third floor. Tell the statue the password "Lions" and it will let you in. You can tell this password to your friends and can change it as long as you and the Head Boy agree.

The letter continued to describe their responsibilities and the only clue was the password "Lions". That could mean that the Head Boy was a Gryffindor, which was why she hoped that it was Remus. Suddenly the door slid in and a boy with messy black hair, hazel eyes, glasses, and a huge ego that preceded him swaggered in confidently.

Lily looked up crossly at him. "Go away, Potter," Lily said. "This is for Heads only."

James replied quietly, "I know. That's why I'm here."

Lily hid her face to hide the expression of shock. James's voice sounded mature and much less likely to ask her out every day. "Well, maybe, you should go get your friend the Head Boy and get him in here, instead of having Black hold him down and pretending to be the Head Boy."

"But I am the Head Boy."

"No, you are not."

"Yes, I am. Look." James held out his letter, which read,

Dear James,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected as Hogwarts's Head Boy this year!

Lily gasped, and wobbled from shock. James POTTER was Head Boy! Was this some kind of joke? He had never been prefect, only top of the male population of the class and known prankster.

Finally, she muttered, "Well, did you set up a schedule?"

James smiled confidently at her. "I did. I put each pair of prefects twice a week. The Gryffindor prefects are Monday night, Ravenclaw Tuesday, Slytherin Wednesday, Hufflepuff Thursday, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Friday, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin Saturday. We patrol Mondays thru Thursdays and Sundays all night with the teachers."

Lily looked up at him, shocked. His schedule was, perfect. "Well J—Potter, that looks good to me. And now for"

James interrupted her. "You like it?"

Lily stared at him. "Yeah. Why?"

"You never like anything I do."

"Well, there's a first for everything, I guess. Can I continue?"

He nodded mutely.

"Good. Now, as I was saying, the Heads dormitory password you can give to the Marauders and I will give it to Alice and Marlene."

James interrupted her again. "You are seriously letting me give it to Sirius?"

Lily grinned. "Yes, I am seriously letting you give it to Black. And the 'seriously' thing is not funny, by the way."

James laughed. "I'll make sure he doesn't abuse it and hook up with some bird in it."

Lily laughed. "Yeah, that'll be good. And another point, no having girlfriends or boyfriends in there. It's just immoral. You can hang out in the Gryffindor common room, but not in our space for our friends, family, and selves only. Is that clear?"

James smiled cheekily. "And if you are my girlfriend, who is not allowed in the dormitory?"

Lily glared at him. "You will not be my boyfriend, so we don't need to worry about it. Now, we have to behave civil to the younger students, too. Is that clear?"

James answered, "Yeah Lily. Now chill, and let's go to the prefects meeting."

Lily nodded and picked up the prefect announcements list. James took her bag, which she weakly protested before letting it go and walking briskly next door. She smiled when she saw her boyfriend and kissed him chastely. "Hey, Roger."

"Hey, Lils. Congratulations, Head Girl!"

She smiled at him sweetly. "Thanks. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

He nodded, and sat down again on his seat.

Lily stood at the front of the room, next to James. "Hello, prefects! My name is Lily Evans, and I am your new Head Girl. This is the Head Boy, James Potter. I thought to start, I will tell you a little about myself. I am Muggleborn, and learned about this world a little over six years ago. I am a Gryffindor student. My best friends are Alice Prewett and Marlene McKinnon. My favorite subject is Charms, and I can't wait for this year!"

James stepped up in front. "Hello, my friends. I am James Potter, Head Boy and Marauder. I'm sure you have all heard the famous stories and will be pleased to see me this year. Now, I am also a Gryffindor, my favorite subject is Transfiguration, and this is my third year as Quidditch captain and my sixth year as Gryffindor Seeker. My best friends are Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Now, I'd like to tell you a bit about this year. My friends and I are known for making mischief but we've always known where to stop. Now, any sign of magic in the corridors or any breaking of the rules, come to us or a teacher and we can take off House points or assign detentions. You cannot do either, but you will be patrolling and be a role model for the students, so do not take your duties lightly. Now my beautiful partner will tell you about the patrols."

Lily blinked. James was a great speech maker. He had just done that after six years of mischief and talked about rules. She stepped up, plastered a smile on her face, and told the students what to do on patrols and when their patrols were. Finally, she adjourned the meeting and waved good bye to Roger.

She walked over to James and said politely, "So I'll see you later?"

James smirked back. "See you later, Evans."

Well I hoped you enjoyed it! Remember to review! I will try to update soon!

Love,
