Hey guys, this is my first Fanfic, so please take it easy on me! Please Review! :) :)
I know that this may not be the most original idea ever, but please give it a chance!
Disclaimer: Harry Potter is to cool to be thought of by myself.
James POV
After six years of always looking up to someone, I'm finally at the top. My seventh and final year of Hogwarts, and I plan to spend it being the King of the school.
"Hey Prongs! Long time no see!" Sirius Black called from behind me.
"Yeah, more like two days ago. But you know, it's still 48 hours."
We boarded the Hogwarts Express.
"C'mon. I know where Moony's sitting."
We ran down the long aisle, pushing down the first-years. Then, a girl stepped in front of us, blocking our way. A bright red and gold badge winked at me.
"I see that you're still as immature as last year." Lily said in a cold voice.
My heart thumped irregularly. Act cool. I told myself. Only one more chance.
Subconsciously, I messed up my hair.
"C'mon, Evans. Every time I see you, you're always telling us off. Can't you just chill, and hang out with me?"
Her eyes glared. "Don't tell me what to do, Potter. And for the record, I'm never going out with you. Never."
Ouch.
She walked past us with her nose in the air.
I didn't realize I was staring at her until Sirius pulled me toward the end of the train. "Maybe you should just back off."
"Shut up." I told him.
Lily POV
I was seriously ticked. Who did James Potter think he was? And he still thinks I'll go out with him! Ha! Like I care.
As I neared my compartment, my best friend Mary Macdonald started chatting unceasingly to me.
"So yeah, this summer, was totally the best one ever. My dad got us tickets for the International Gobstoppers tournament, and so…."
Yep, this allowed some distraction from my thoughts.
Suddenly, there was a knock at our door. I looked up through the window, and Severus' big black eyes staring back at me. My heart fluttered loudly as I took in his appearance. He matured over the summer, more man than boy now. My spirits soared, and out of habit I started to greet him, until I remembered the incident. That unspeakable moment two years ago between me and Severus.
Go away! I mouthed to him.
His mouth opened for (I assume) a flood of apologies. Why did he even want to be friends with a Mudblood if it matters so much to him? I quickly pulled down the black curtain that shielded me from him. Tears welled up in my eyes, threatening to slide down my face.
Mary immediately stopped talking.
"Wha-"
"Look, I really need to get out." I ran to the bathroom in the back of the train, and I managed to lock the doors before the tears came out. Too late.
The thing that sucked was that James saw me.
James POV
"So Moony, what were you up to this summer?" I asked.
"Same old, same old. The full moon comes earlier this month, though, so at least I'll only have 21 days of boredom."
We all grinned.
"Sure you'll die of boredom. You're the only one I know who actually enjoys the homework."
I ducked as his fist swung over my head.
"So, I got made Gryffindor's Head Boy!" I exclaimed loudly (hoping the door was open just a little crack). The badge on my chest gleamed.
My friends, as usual, started congratulating me.
"I wonder who got made Head Girl?" Wormtail asked.
"Who else? That Evans girl. I saw her wearing the badge." I said nonchalantly. "And speaking of Head, I have to give orders to the Prefects. So if you would excuse me."
I opened the compartment door, and someone sprinted past me, tears sliding down her face. Her red hair fanned out over her back. Lily! The bathroom door slammed shut.
What else could I do? I headed to the front of the train.
Compartment A1, according to my letter. I pushed it open, and I found a group of proud teenagers. From the looks of it, a boy was flexing his muscles. 15 year olds. Give them a badge and they'll think they rule the school. Then I thought Was that what I was like back then, with my Quidditch Captaincy?
"Okay, listen up, pipsqueaks. Your Head Girl is not available for the moment, so I'll give you your directions.
"You are to patrol the aisles for 30 minute shifts, and make sure that fighting does not break out, etc, etc. At 6:30, you are relieved of your duties. Any questions?"
No hands were raised. "Okay," I said. "Get moving!"
They marched out.
I sat down in the empty compartment and stared at the moving scenery.
For the whole time I was in there, Lily never showed up.
And thus ends my first Fanfic...
1.) I'm planning for this story to have 15 chapters, maybe...
2.) It'll alternate between Lily and James for POV
3.) I'll update a second chapter if I get 2 reviews! Tell me if it's worth continuing.
Happy Reading! And don't forget to review!
