CHAPTER FOUR: GOOD HEAD BOY?
Lily and James put the fliers up about auditioning for the band for the dance the next day. Auditions were to be held at the end of the week. Students had 5 days to pull together their audition songs.
By Friday morning there were over 20 bands signed up. James was looking over the list while heading towards the Heads Common.
"Can't I just mark off all of the Slytherin groups?" James asked stopping to write something on the paper.
"No. I can't believe we have to listen to all these bands," Lily said, stopping also.
"Actually . . . it'll just be you, not me, listening to the bands," James said, handing her the paper, which she took. "I'm auditioning." James walked off, heading in the same direction they were walking before.
"No . . . way!" she said. She looked down at the list. James had written in "The Marauders" under the last band name. "Can he do this?"
James may not be Lily's favourite person, but she was not looking forward to listening to 20 bands; half of which suck.
The next day, Lily was in the great Hall at 10 am to help with the auditions. She took her seat next to Professor McGonnagal (A/N: I don't know if I spelled that right) and Jared, a Ravenclaw prefect. As the bands played Lily was thinking that maybe she should have let James cross off some of the bands.
Lily was surprised when The Marauders played. They were actually quite good. Sirius was on bass, Peter on drums, Remus on keyboard, and James on guitar and singing lead.
3 hours later, all the bands had finished. The judges tallied up the scores for each band and picked the two with the highest scores. The two bands were called in to decide who would go first. The Marauders were to go first, followed buy The Witches. (A/N: don't kill me, I couldn't think of any other names)
"Ya know, they actually weren't half bad," Lily said, telling Haley and Megan about The Marauder's audition. They were once again in the Common Room, Lily and Haley on ends of a couch, Megan in a chair.
"Oh! I can't wait for the dance!" Haley said. "I already have an outfit."
"Who do you want to take you?" Megan asked.
"Remus," Haley said, blushing slightly
"I still don't know what I'm wearing," Megan said.
"Well, you've got a week. And a Hogsmeade trip," Lily pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess. What about you Lily? Any outfits or dates?" Megan asked.
"No," Lily said. "Not right now."
"Hasn't James asked?" Haley said.
"No, he hasn't," Lily said.
"Weird, I thought he'd've asked by now," Haley said.
"Maybe he will, there's still time," Megan said.
"What if he jumps up on the table in the Great Hall and asks her?" Haley said. Lily rolled her eyes. Though, she wouldn't put it past James to do that.
"Who's jumping on tables in the Great Hall?" came James' voice.
"Ah, no one," Lily said.
"Hello, Lily dear," James said, moving her book to sit next to her on the couch.
"Where're your little friends?" Megan asked.
"Aw, didn't know you cared so much," Sirius said coming in with Remus and walking towards them.
"What and ego! He just assumes that the `little friends' we were talking about included him!" Megan said.
"Who're you calling `little' Sawyer?" Sirius said, walking closer to her. Megan was slightly taller than the average 17 year old, but not as tall as Sirius.
James stood up in front of Sirius.
"Black, chill, I was kidding," Megan said.
Sirius stepped back.
"Can't you guys ever get a long and act your age?" James said. Lily giggled.
"No," Sirius said.
"What's so funny?" James asked Lily.
"That's what I'm supposed to say," Lily said.
"Oh, well, be my guest," James said, smiling. He knew that's what she usually said.
"That's okay, you seem to have handled in just fine," Lily said, smiling at him.
"So Lily, thought anymore about trying out for the Quidditch team?" Sirius asked.
"You were serious?" Lily said.
"Of course he's Sirius!" James said. "Besides, I've seen you naked-"
"What?!" Haley said.
"Way to go Prongs!" Sirius said.
Lily pushed him to the ground and sat on his chest again, pinning his arms down so he couldn't move.
"-you have a great body," James finished.
"Potter!" Lily said.
James furrowed his brows. "Ya know Lily; you seem to like this position. Why don't we take this up stairs?" James said. Lily slapped him, the quickly got off.
Megan and Sirius started an argument about Quidditch, which by the sound of it, they had started earlier.
"They're not!" Megan said.
"Are, too!" Sirius said.
"Guys!" James said, stepping in between them. "Stop! We don't need any blood shed in here!"
Lily was amazed that James was breaking up the fight instead of yelling, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" She was surprised he was taking responsibility.
Megan and Sirius glared at each other before stepping back. Megan and Haley left to go to Gryffindor Tower.
"Think maybe you were wrong on the train when you said I'd make a bad Head Boy?" James asked.
"Tryin' to prove me wrong, Potter?" Lily said.
"Yep! I'm gonna prove I can be a good Head Boy," James said.
"Well, it's working," Lily ruffled his hair as she said it. Then got up and walked to the stairs. She didn't go all the way up the stairs; she stood where she knew she'd be out of sight.
"I am never washing my hair again," she heard James say. Lily came back down.
"Oh yes you are! Or I will never touch your hair again," Lily said and reached over James to pick up her book. "Forgot my book. 'Night guys." This time she went all the way up the stairs and into her dormitory.
"Wow, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it," Sirius said.
"We're gonna head in," Remus said. He got up from where he was sitting and grabbed Sirius by the arm and dragged him out.
"But - she flirted with him Moony! I don't believe it!" Sirius said. "She must be under a spell or something to have fallen for James!" (A/N: what a great friends right?)
"Shut up Padfoot," James said as they left the Common Room, Sirius rambling on about how Lily must be an alien.
