Chapter One- The way I see you
James Potter stumbled out of his dorm, late for class already. He grinned at his best mate Sirius as they rushed to get to Transfiguration.
"McGonagall's gonna kill us, Padfoot."
"Yup."
The boys laughed as they pushed open the doors. James ruffled his messy hair and grinned at Remus and Peter, and both of them smiled back.
"Just what makes you two think I will tolerate your tardiness to my class?" fumed McGonagall.
"The fact that we're still not in detention, Professor." retorted Sirius rudely.
"Sit down, or you will be."
From the seat in front, Lily Evans (whom James found very, very, VERY hot) looked at him. He winked at her and she threw him a glare like no other.
"If looks could kill," whispered Sirius, "you just got Avada Kedavra'd!"
James punched him hard on the arm and knocked over the goblet of water he was meant to be turning into wine. He spilled it all over Lily's feet, and her best friend's.
"Oh, sorry, Evans." he said with a grin. "Watch it, Snivellus, or it might just end up on your head next time."
"Leave him alone, you arrogant, big-headed git! And watch what you're doing! Come on, Sev, let's get on with our WORK."
Remus gave him a pitiful look, Sirius laughed, and Peter went to get some paper towels.
"One day, I'll show you, Sirius. We're gonna get married, Lily and I."
"About as likely as me and Peter snogging."
"So, highly likely?"
"I set myself up for that one."
"Yup."
McGonagall swept past and gave them a look of cold fury. It was the kind of look that made you think, "I've gone too far now. Better just get on."
And so they did... Unsuccessfully, of course.
The very next day, results were given out in class.
J. Potter, S. Black.
Written essay: P
Practical attempt: T
See me after class.
They almost forgot about it. After successfully turning a mouse into a goblet, and writing an essay that was absolutely fantastic, their spirits were high as they rose from their chairs and attempted to dash to lunch.
"Where do you think YOU'RE going?"said McGonagall angrily.
"Ummmm... Lunch?" said James, evidently confused.
"Mate... ' See me after class', remeber?" whispered Sirius.
James pressed a hand to his forehead, and walked up to the desk at the front. As McGonagall ranted at him for never trying hard enough in lessons, James zoned out. God, Lily looked gorgeous today. Her gorgeous red hair dancing in the sunlight, her sparkling green eyes like emeralds, and those soft, kissable, blush pink lips.
"You are excused."
"Thanks, Professor."
Oh Merlin.
"Potter! Watch where you're going, honestly!" fumed Lily.
"Sorry, beautiful. Are you using a new lipstick? It looks amazing on you, Evans."
Lily scoffed and ran away, yelling for Snivellus.
"Girls." said Sirius.
Remus appeared behind them, holding two sandwiches.
"Lunch is nearly over. Wanna head outside?"
"Sure." said Sirius.
On the grass, Remus settled down with a book, Sirius did his hair, and James began messing around with his stolen snitch.
"I'm gonna head to the common room for a bit." said James.
"K." replied Remus.
"Bye!" yelled Sirius.
Edit- I think I'm going to do this story as 20 chapters. Since this is a first fic, I might not do a re-upload. However, if you want me to, I will publish another of this story, but in Lily's point of view, 1st person. What do you think? Should I? IDK. You decide ;P
