Chapter Two: Head Boy and Head Girl

[[Lily's POV]]

Dumbledore is a genius. He has set up a prefect system that is like my old school's student government. He takes two girls and two boys from each house, and puts them into a system used to help the younger children. Every two years, he picks two students, a boy and a girl, and appoints them Head Boy and Head Girl. The Head Boy and Head Girl are the leaders of the Prefects. New ones were going to be chosen this year. I hope I am one of them. But I will be happy for anyone who gets appointed as the Heads. Since I am at least friendly toward everyone in the room.

Most of the Prefects were gathered into a group and I quickly pushed my way into the group to hear what was going on. They are gathering to figure out what they are going to do to help the First Years get to Hogwarts. I suggested we Tranfigure some boats, and float them across the lake. They all approved that this was a good idea.

Just then, while I was being applauded and praised for my idea, James bursts into the cart, and lazily props himself on a few seats of the cabin. My blood boils at the sight of him. Remus, one of my best guy friends, walks into the cabin behind James, virtually unseen, and shuts the door bhind him. Remus finds his way to the middle of the crowd beside me, and smiles as he gets there.

"Hullo, Lily." He greets.

"Hi, Remus." I respond, turning away from James.

"How was your summer?"

"Quite lovely. Mum and I planted a garden in the yard. I made sure to plant a willow there, which of course reminded me of you and Hogwarts."

James, from across the room interuptes our conversation with his stupid comment, "I know I am sexy, now just run along to your prefect duties."

Everyone ignored him, I hope. I turned to Remus to continue our conversation, but we were needed to get paired up with another Prefect, because we were almost to Hogwarts, meaning we will have to help the First Years. I was nervous and filled with adrenaline at the same time.

One of the Seventh Year Prefects started pairing us off, with a list of our names given to him by Dumbledore.

"Amilia Bones and Jace Smith." First Pair. They're both Hufflepuffs, and they walk towards eachother, a blush on both of their faces. Cute.

"Dorcas Meadows and Diddlus Diggory." Awhhh, Dorcas has a crush on him, I hope this works out for her. Dorcas is my Hufflepuff friend.

"Marlene McKinnon and Remus Lupin." Gryffindor match. I know Marlene likes Remus. That's not going to happen.

"Olivia Edgecombe and Justin Boot." Ravenclaws. Theyre pretty sweet actually. They've been friends for like, forever.

"Mike Chang and Priya Lachman." Ouch. Those two just broke up over the summer, thats gunna be a show.

"John Crabbe and Nyxie Avery." Slytherins. Not much to say there.

"Severus Snape and Skylar Bulstrode." Again, not much of a chance. Severus was in love with me. I acted like I didnt know, but I did.

"James Potter and Lily Evans." Oh no he did not just say that. Did he? I look at James, he has a huge grin on his face. Oh God. This is not going to be fun.

James finds his way through the very chatty crowd to me.

"So, Evans... Shall we?" James says letting me see that the doors to the train had opened, and we were supposed to be out there, making boats. I was so busy freaking out about being paired with James, that I hadnt realized that the train had stopped. We were at the Hogsmeade Train Station.

I nodded, refusing to talk to him, and walked out the doors toward the lake, not far from the station. I walked swiftly to the bank of the lake and searched my mind for the spell to summon wood. Even if I summoned just a little...

"Accio Wood." James says, smiling as wood floats to where he stood.

There were already First Years showing up. The other Prefects were doing a very good job.

James and I started forming boats from the wood, he was putting them together, and I was developing more wood for him to use. In less than fifteen minutes we had twenty boats done, more than enough to fit the first years in. We only needed sixteen. We made extra. Ohwell. Each Boat could fit about five or six kids in it, including a prefect for every boat. We loaded the boats up, and started off for Hogwarts.

It was dark. I didn't know how to drive a boat, and I couldn't see anyways. I lit my wand and saw that the boat was leading itself. The first years in my boat were looking amazed.

"How did you light your wand like that?" A boy that is sort of chubby and reminds me of Peter, somewhat, asks.

"Lumos. It is a spell that makes light come from the tip of your wand. Like a flashlight." I respond.

"What is a flashlight?" Another boy asks, looking afraid.

"A muggle invention that produces light in a beam. While Lumos, is like a mini sun." I respond. I can't beleive he doesnt knkow what a flashlight is... OH! He must be a pureblood. That makes sense.

"What house are you in?" A girl asks.

"Gryffindor." I respond, "What houses do you want to be in? Will you tell me your names and your house wishes?"

"I am Harold Ahi. I want to be in Slytherin."

"I am Sarah and I want to be in Gryffindor, just like you!"

"I am Caitlin Easley and I want to be in Hufflepuff!"

"I am Randy Easley, Caitlin is my twin, and I want to be in Ravenclaw."

"My name is Angie Maish and I dont know where I want to be."

Just then, our boat hits the shore, and we walk off into Hogwarts. I lead them into the Great Hall and they all gasp. I just smile and point to the line of first years beginning to form. They all depart and walk over there. I walk to the gryffindor table, and sit in the spot reserved for the four Gryffindor Prefects. The Gryffindor first years would sit right next to us, and on the other side of us, were the second years. We only sat here for the first few weeks of school, then we join our classmates on the other end of the table.

James was sitting and talking to Sirius about god knows what, and I ignore them as I walk by.

Eventually, all of the Gryffindor Prefects found their way to the spot we were supposed to sit in. When we did, Dumbledore stood, and everyone quieted.

"I am going to start two new traditions today. I am going to introduce to you the Sorting Hat." Dumbledore says pointing to the hat sitting on a stool. I had missed that earlier.

I heard James say to Remus, "The next thing you know, the old kook is gunna bring in a Scarf of Sexual Preference."[AN: Anyone know where I got that from?.]

Remus tenses and James laughs, not noticing Remus tensing.

I felt bad for Remus.

"And, I am going to announce the Head Boy and Head Girl before the First Years are Sorted. Are you ready? Prefects, please stand."

We all stood. All 16 of us.

"Here I go. The Head Boy is... JAMES POTTER!" The whole room, except the Slytherin table of course, claps.

OHMYGOD. REALLY DUMBLEDORE?

"The Head Girl is... LILY EVANS!!"

The entire room erupts in claps.

My smile drops off of my face. I am SO in for it.
