After hugging both her parents goodbye and promising her mother several times to write, Lily carefully checked her bagage one more time to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Casting a light hoovering charm on her trunk, she made her way through the crowd, looking out for anyone she recognised. Several first years were being fussed over by their parents, some of them clearly unwilling to leave the relative safety of home to go to a castle where they didn't know anyone. Lily smiled. To think that a few years ago, she had been standing on the platform, anxiously waiting for the Hogwarts Express to arrive. So much had happened since then.

Looking down at her robes where her Head Girl badge proudly shimmered in the morning light, Lily found herself wondering yet again who had been named Head Boy this year. She hoped it would be Remus. They worked well together and he always had been a responsible prefect, even if he couldn't manage to get his own friends to behave. Lily rolled her eyes, thinking of all the pranks Potter and Black had pulled over the years. Obviously thinking the two boys had suddenly grown up over the summer hols was too much to wish for. She could only hope James had finally given up his attempts to get her to date him.

Wrinkling her nose at the thought, Lily carefully put down her trunk and checked her watch. She should get on the Express soon. It was almost time for the train to leave. Swinging her bag more firmly over her shoulder, she cursed under her breath as one of the straps got caught, causing her bag to open up and several of her books to fall out.

Nodding in response to Lily's friendly answer, Emmeline dropped her gaze to her shoes with the slightest bit of sheepishness. She rocked up on her tiptoes to ensure the stitches held, then shifted back on her heels when she was satisfied. "Of course, you're welcome," a shade of smile wisped over her lips.

"I'm glad to hear you got Head Girl. We may still have to cooperate, though, if things between our houses stay the way they have." She gave Lily a steady, meaningful look. Every year she hoped and wished and prayed things would be different, and every year she was sorely disappointed. Perhaps with the help of a Gryffindor Head Student, they might be able to get some of that semblance of order Lily had mentioned. It seemed they were of the same mind.

"D'you know who got Head Boy, by any chance?" Emmeline was nearly afraid to ask.
