•Chapter 2•

(James POV)
"I'm gonna go catch the train now." We heard Lily say, rudely. I sighed, as much as I did not like it, I was used to her cold behaviour towards us all -which may or may not have been completely my fault- "C'mon Prongs, lets go find Peter." Said Moony snapping me out my thoughts. I nodded and followed my two best friends towards our compartment. And I said 'our' because everyone knows which compartment is of the marauders' seeing as we had carved the word 'Marauders' outside it.

We've always used that same compartment since our first year here. It was the one where we all met for the first time, where I first saw Lily.

"Wormtail!!" screamed Sirius in delight, hugging the chubby boy. Wormtail, he was the fourth and the last marauder.

Sirius loved hugs. At the Black house, where affection was not a known word, Sirius was abused and beaten up. Last year during the summer break, Sirius turned up at the Potter Manor, broken, both physically and mentally. Obviously my parents took him in, they love him like their own son -sometimes even more than me- Only the marauders knew about the horrors he had faced at home. For the world, he was the 'gorgeous' Sirius Black who did not care about anything.

We all shared our hugs with Peter and then sat down. "So, did you tell Lily about that, Prongs?" asked Peter. "Nope, not yet." I replied knowing what he was talking about. "I wonder how my precious Lilyflower will react to ickle Prongsie becoming the head-boy." said Padfoot. We all let out a smile at how he had referred to Lily. "Oh Lily will be elated, don't you think? James Fleamont Potter, her most favourite person, becoming the head-boy!" Remus added, smirking, looking up from the muggle book he was reading.

People usually mistakes Remus for the innocent and quiet one. Though Remus was in a way, quiet, he was not innocent. Actually, he was very sarcastic. During classes he would quietly pass sneering remarks only for us four to hear. Sometimes those comments were so funny, Sirius, Peter and I could not help but laugh. This, many times ended up us three in detention as Remus would put up his iconic I-am-innocent face but like Marlene usually says - 'It was worth it.'

"Shut up, Moony." I said, glaring at him. -Though i do hope his last sentence would have been true- "Aw Prongsie is mad!" I heard Padfoot say as I got up looking for my badge.

"C'mon James, it's time for the prefects' meeting" Remus told me making his way out of the compartment. Now I know, most of the students would be shocked that I, James Potter am the head-boy. Honestly so was I, but I knew that I could do this job responsibly, I wouldn't take advantage of my position. Also this might be a chance for me to impress Lily.

(Lily POV)
I was walking to the prefects' compartment with Alice, the other Gryffindor prefect leaving behind Marlene and Mary. When I opened the compartment door I saw someone really unexpected. "Potter! You don't have to follow me everywhere to ask me out!" I said, angrily, remembering the incident in 5th year.

"Don't flatter yourself Evans. I came here because it is my duty, not for you." He replied. I could hear the tinge of rudeness and hurt in his voice. Ouch, I didn't mean to do that -since when did I start feeling bad for Potter, also he is back to Evans? Wait what!?- "Duty!? Potter you better not be joking!" But I knew he wasn't as my eyes travelled to the head-boy badge pinned to his robes. Oh no no no.

"Y-you're head-boy!?"
