A Tale Of Does And Stags ✨

4 • Head room

James' POV

The Heads common room was almost like the Gryffindor common room. Just more elegant in way. It was slightly smaller than the Gryffindor common room but seeing as in it was meant for two people only it was fine.

There was fireplace with hot crackling fire burning in it. A couch was in front of the fireplace with a love seat and an arm chair beside it. A soft rug lay accross the floor. A small kitchen in one corner full of food waiting to be eaten. A bookshelf was in the other corner with a table by the window with 4 chairs.

A single staircase led to a slightly upper storie. There were two rooms on either of its sides. One of the doors said Lily Evans ~ Head Girl while the other said James Potter ~ Head boy. Quidditch Captain.

Beside me Lily was taking in the surroundings as well. We both were in absolute aww.

We climbed up the stairs and into our rooms.

The room was gorgeous. The walls were a light shade of yellow. There was a king sized bed with a canopy and translucent Burgundy curtains against one wall. The other wall had the closet and dresser. There were Quidditch posters and pictures of me, the Marauders and the girls framed here and there in the room. A small bookcase was above the dresser with some of my books. A vase stood on a table with pretty lilies in it. An comfy armchair was next to the table. A quite soft rug was laid across the floor while a small mirror stood in the corner. There was a second door to the left, which I guessed was for the bathroom.

Lily's POV

Once I saw the common room I was stunned. It was just so perfect... And I couldn't have asked for a better room for myself. The walls were a light shade of red. A canopy bed with translucent gold curtains against one wall. The closet and dresser on other. Some books were assembled alphabetically on the dresser. My photos of my time at Hogwarts were displayed here and there in the room. Some with the girls while some with the Marauders. An armchair and a table were near the window To the right was a door that probably lead to the bathroom

I opened the door and entered the bathroom taking a look around. There was another door opposite mine. What's it for though? Just as I was wondering the door opened and James came inside. Guess we have a common bathroom...

"We'll Evans, see we'll be sharing the bathroom"

"Right. let's agree that we'll knock on the door before entering to make sure that neither of us barges in on the other, yeah?" I asked

"Sure thing"

There was a small pause in which I looked back through the door from which James had just entered.

"Hey? Can I see your room?" He asked.

"Only if I can see yours"

"Deal"

After some more time of wandering around the dorms we decided to go to bed.

"Goodnight Lily"

"Night Po-James" I still had to do a lot of work to start calling James James and not Potter...

The next morning was just fine - was woken up by the usual ringing of my alarm. Five minutes later I was out of bed although sleep was still evident in my eyes. I needed to wash my face. So everything was fine until.. I entered the bathroom. And what I saw was....
