Summary: All ya need to know is that at the beginning Lily Evans is taken by Mr. James Potter who barely thinks she exists, he is popular and perfect when she's normal, blah blah blah. read it and find out!

Prologue

"Yiiiiiiiiiiiiipppppppppppee" Shriked Lily with happiness, jumping up and down on her bed like a crazy wild monkey.

Annoyed at her child-like behaviour, her dorm-mates turned towards her.

"What Evans, got a letter from Jamsie-poo?" A girl, Sarah-whom was Lily's number 1 nemesis, cooed sarcastically.

"Ya, everyone knows just how much you are totally obsessed with him," Tarra butted in, she was Sarah's best friend. "I mean, yeah, the entire Hogwarts female population loves him, but they're not obsessed."

"Unless you count the mindless blonde Hufflepuff bimbos that are on his beck and call 24/7" Laughed Sarah nastily

Lily was about to protest when Sherry came to her best-friend's defence "Lily's obsessed? HAH!!!! Who plastered his photos all over every inch our fucking (Lily tutted at the use of that word) Gryffinodr fifth-year girls' dorm walls at the beginning of Term 1 before the house elves tore them down at Prof. McGonagall's commands, hmmmmm?"

"Shut-up" Sarah and Tarra muttered together.

Ignoring them, Sherry ragged on, "Was it me? Naaaaaaah-I don't think so, I mean, sure, I agree that James is HOT, but Sirius comes before him in my pounding heart. So then it CAN'T be me then 'cuz I would've put Sirius's pics instead, right? Well then if it wasn't me-"

"We get the point already Sherry!" Lily snapped.

Ignoring her too, Sherry wondered out-loud. "Maybe it was Lily? Nope. Couldn't've been her. Because guess way? She's only quarter as obsessed as SOMEONE I know here."

"Please stop!!" Shouted Maria, another dorm-mate who was getting her beauty- sleep, or should we say TRYING to get it.

"Then it must've been KARREN! No wait, who the hell is Karren anyway? That name slipped from my tongue, wonder why?"

"I'm outta here, c'mon Tarra, let's go." Huffed Sarah. Face red.

"It only leaves WANNABE-GORGEOUS-BEAUTY-QUEEN. SAAAAAARRRAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Yelled Sherry after her.

"The girl has clearly gone insane, find yourself another best-friend, Lils." Maria said loud enough for Sherry to hear before going back to her sleep.

Well now you've met Lily and her dorm group, but we haven't described them to ya, have we?

Let's begin with Lily; she is of course, a red-head- just like in every other fic with her in it. She's totally beautiful with a fantastic figure and a cute complexion, but unfortunately ruined that point by being a ''big little cute teacher's pet'' as Sherry put it.

Sherry has brown-blonde hair, she sometimes goes crazy but that's what everyone thinks is fun about her. She looks really sexy, but not THAT beautiful because she Kinda looks inappropriately way too skinny and petite.

Tarra is the Big Whore, as entitled by the school population, there isn't a single guy who hasn't dated, if not snogged her up. She looked marvelous with wavy black hair and midnight-blue eyes, though she was way too posh and was too evil to those she think are 'below' her!!

Sarah has lovely medium-sized golden curls and honey eyes. Guys adored her but she said she was reserved and no one was allowed to touch her. "Until James does," Sherry had once cracked to Lily when Sarah made a scene at the Great Hall when yelling at a guy who tried to steal a kiss at her.

Maria thought she was too mature for the people with her own-academic standards, therefore only hangs out with girls and boys who are in older grades/years than her. She cares waaayy too much about how she looks and is agreed that she's the prettiest by most people here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

OK, now that we've briefly introduced everybody, lets move back to Lily and Sherry in the dorm now, shall we?

"So what were you really happy about?" questioned Sherry curiously, jumping on Lily's bed and glancing at the folded note in her friend's hand.

"Welll.." Lily marveled, she didn't think Sherry would be the right person to tell her secret to. "Would you make fun of me if I told you?"

"Lily, Lily, Lily" said Sherry in a would-be-casual voice; she only used it if she was pissed at her, which rarely happened. "I'm hurt!! I'm supposed to be your best-friend, remember? If you can't tell it to me, then who will you share it with?! After all, you've known me since first year, FIVE YEARS and you still don't trust me?"

"Quit the nagging and answer my question!" Lily impatiently demanded.

"Ok, ok, sheesh," Sherry rolled her eyes, actually being serious for once. "I won't make-fun of you, don't worry. I know you're sensitive."

"It really is from James." Lily said in rush, cheeks turning red. "For once that bitch Sarah was right at somethin'"

Sherry's eyes grew wide with astonishment, "NO WAY!!! Mr. Potter himself???! Oh you LUCKY girl!!!!!! Everyone would die just to get him to say a word to them, and you really actually got a full note??! Far Out!!!!!! What does it say???????!! Hurry up and tell me before I EXPLODE!!"

Lily cleared her throat but didn't get a chance to read, Sherry had already snatched it away from her and began reading it out loud herself:

Dearest Lily, I know we've barely spoken to each other before. Apart from the time when the other Marauders and I pulled that crazy prank at you on Herbology during first year and we apologized, then you forgave us like a wonderful kind person. But I feel like I know you really well and I admire how smart you are. Plus now that I look at you, you really are amazingly beautiful physically as well. What I'm trying to say is, I really like you and wanna ask if you could please secretly meet me at the Astronomy Tour at 8.00pm today. Send me a reply letter back as soon as possible with your cute red owl; I know you're done with all your classes for today. All my love, James.

Sherry screamed, but had to stop when Maria angrily stood-up and painfully slugged her pillow at her. Then she went back to snoring in a few secs.

"Shit!! I would DIE to be in your place right now." Sherry said enviously, holding the letter as though it was made from crystal.

"Well, what are you waiting for then? Get me a peace of parchment and a quill so that I could answer him back." Lily puffed shakily in excitement.

Lily at first couldn't write, her hand was shaking with nerves so her hand- writing was bad and become really messed up.

Fed-up, Sherry herself got a new parchment and offered to write it for Lily herself. Lily agreed and told her to say: James, I am honoured at your attention. I like you loads too. Meaning that I would definitely meet you. I can't wait! Love, Lily.

"Great," Sherry said, scanning the letter with her eyes, admiring her own perfectly neat handwriting.

"Thanks Sher," Lily dreamily said, slowly tying it to her owl's legs and sending it off to give to James.

It took them four tries just to get it the way they wanted. Sherry pestered Lily not to sound too enthusiastic incase he ran away from her like a startled fawn at their first attempt to write the letter, but then Lily told Sherry at the second go not to sound too posh and impolite. Then Sherry insisted that being boring but agreeable wasn't right either at the third try.

"Well what are you waiting for then, huh? Let's go do you a major make- over!! We gotta make you look like a model in only three hours." Sherry said, taking out all the beauty products from her trunk.

Confusing? Cliché? Cool? Or just plain boring? Tell me what ya think. The more reviews, the quicker I put up the next chapter. There's this major plot up ahead.
