"James Potter! I can't believe you would do this!" Lily cried, tears streaming down her face.

"Lily, it was just a joke!" James replied, remorse written on his face.

"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I just don't understand how embarrassing me in front of the school is amusing!"

"I'm sorry," he finally said after a long pause.

"Yeah? Well guess what."

"What?" he asked, praying she wouldn't kill him.

"I hate you. You completely disgust me! You acted like someone I could stand this year. But then you go and pull this stupid and cruel stunt? I was right from the beginning. A chameleon might change its colors, but it won't EVER stop being a chameleon." Lily then left.

Lily then took a shower and went to the astronomy tower to look at the moon and think. How could James have done that? He had been so nice to her this year. It was their last year at Hogwarts, and Lily had been sure James had grown up. Lily could remember what had happened tonight, as if it was happening again…

*********************************FLASHBACK**************************

"So, James Potter actually did his homework!" Lily said to James, pretending to be amazed. This was ruined however, by her laughing.

"I know it's horrifying, isn't it?" James agreed laughing but he looked slightly worried.

"Ok, what did you do?" Lily asked warily, catching his look.

"Nothing! Why do you say that?" James asked quickly.

"I know you," Lily said simply, a small smile grazing on her lips.

"Don't worry about it, Lily. Let's go down to dinner," James said with a forced smile, holding out his hand for her to pull herself up from the couch with. Lily narrowed her eyes but took his hand. Together they made their way to dinner.

When they walked in, it happened. Lily and James were surrounded by a heart, which was circling around them. James got on one knee and looked at her, his eyes stopping at her chest before making its way to her eyes.

"Lily Evans, I know we have had our rough patches, but I believe something more can come of us. We balance each other out. I'm arrogant and you're humble. I can be a jerk and you can be amazingly considerate. I'm a dreamer and you're down-to-earth. I'm calm and you're a hothead. But, I love you. And even if you don't know it, you love me too. So, Lily Evans, will you go out with me?" James asked with a large smile, his voice had been magnified so everyone in the Great Hall could hear.

Tears began to fall from Lily's eyes. James mistook this sign for horror, as a sign for gratitude. He kissed her. Lily was in shock. She just stood their. Frozen. When he finally lifted his lips off of hers, she shook her head.

"No. I will NOT go out with you," Lily whispered, well, she meant to whisper. However, her voice had been magnified, as well. Therefore, the whole school heard her. James's face fell and he stood in shock. Lily would have ran away, but the heart circling around her wouldn't let her leave.

Whispers began to fill the room. Lily could hear a few: How could she say no to him again? "'Why would she say no?' 'Is she crazy?' 'What, does she think she deserves better, because she's lucky that he would even give her the time of day!'"

Lily then felt food being thrown at her. "Take the spell off Moony," James said as he looked over at Remus. Remus nodded, and the heart disappeared. Lily then ran with food being thrown at her, while the teachers were trying to get them to stop. James then caught up with her.

*******************************END OF FLASHBACK*******************

"A shooting star," Lily muttered as she looked at the sky. Looking at it, Lily said, "I wish James Potter was never born."
