The Doe

Head Boy

The clap of Dumbledore's hands alerted the Great Hall to become silent.

"Students of Hogwarts, now that we are all here, it is time to announce your Head Boy and Girl for this year."

I looked up at James across the table, his hands fidgeting on top of the table and his eyes trained on the professor as he talked. Moving my leg forward, I brushed my foot against his leg, making his eyes shift to lock onto mine. I sent him a smile and nodded my head in a look of reassurance as he smiled back at me.

"I am proud to announce this year's Head Boy position has been awarded to... Mr James Potter."

I watched as his face lit up, his eyes widening and jaw dropping. The Gryffindor table erupted in cheers as everyone jumped to their feet and pulled James up into hugs and handshakes.

"Good on you, mate!" Sirius grinned, clapping Prongs on the back.

"Knew you could do it, Prongs," Remus smiled.

"I'm so proud of you," I told him, reaching across the table to squeeze his hand.

"Yes, congratulations, Mr Potter, now let's move on to the Head Girl position," Dumbledore smiled from behind his podium.

The table slowly ceased of noise as the students in red settled back into their seats and faced the front of the hall.

"After counting all the votes, I am delighted to tell you that your Head Girl for the year is Miss Madison Chase."

My mouth formed an 'O' as our table yet again erupted into noise, Lily and Marlene twisting to hug me from either side.

"Well done, Bambi!" Remus exclaimed, pulling me into a hug as I saw James and Sirius take off running from their seats.

"Thank you, Rem," I grinned as he let me go.

Two bodies collided into mine as 4 arms enclosed me, squeezing me in a huge hug.

"I'm so proud of you, Mads," Padfoot whispered to me.

"I'm so glad we get to do this together, my doe," James told me, cupping my face as he released me from his grasp.

I smiled up at him as the Gryffindor table began to hush and everyone took their seats once more.

"Your first duty as Head Boy and Girl is to organise the school dance," Professor McGonagall explained as James and I followed her through the halls.

She lead us into her office, flicking her wand to close the door behind us.

"It will be for halloween, so keep that in mind whilst planning," she explained, looking to me, "I am assuming you will be taking charge of this assignment, Miss Chase?"

"That's right, professor," I smiled, nodding my head as I pulled a small notebook from my bag.

"Wait, what? Now, hold on," James started, looking between us.

I turned to him, McGonagall mirroring me as I raised my right eyebrow at him.

"Well, you know... I might want to do it," he declared, raising his chin slightly as he crossed his arms.

I let out a laugh as McGonagall looked over her spectacles at him and let out a sigh.

"Ok, Prongs, so what is the first thing you do?" I questioned, now turning my whole body to face him and crossing my legs.

His eyes looked between me and the professor before settling on me. I shrugged my shoulders at him and raised my eyebrows, gesturing for him to proceed.
