A/N: This is a redo. I am just adding little things and doing the necessary grammatical changes. I am also changing what year they are in because it makes what happens later more believable.
Lily Evans stepped off the Hogwarts Express; actually, it was more like tripped, right into the arms of strong, handsome James Potter.
"I knew you would fall for me one day, Evans," James smirked.
"Geroff me, Potter!" screamed a very upset Lily.
"Well, since you're in my arms, Lily will you go out with me?" he batted his long eyelashes, giving him a very girly look.
"Yes, James, I would love to." Lily replied smiling.
"Really?" his whole face seemed to light up at her answer.
"NO!" Lily shouted. "I would never in a million years!" Lily said fuming, turning, if possible, as red as her hair. Every year, James found it funny to ask her out, and every year she always answered no. But it wasn't a joke for him. James had liked Lily ever since he saw her.
"Come along, Prongs. You don't want to upset her now do you?" said Sirius, James' best friend and fellow Marauder, smiling. Lily gave him a grateful look. "Of course, there is always tomorrow." Saying this, Lily's look of thanks turned into a glare. She glared at them before turning around, grabbing her things and heading off towards the castle.
"Well, that went well," Sirius said to his best friend after Lily went in.
"Sirius, what is wrong with me? Every year I try and try but I can't get that damn girl out of my head." James replied, groaning loudly.
"It's not that bad," Sirius said giving him a pat on the back, "At least she doesn't have a boyfriend."
"Lily!" Ana Porter screamed as her best friend entered the Great Hall. She had mouse brown hair with hazel eyes. She was kind and gentle hearted one of the reasons she and Lily hit off so quickly. "Where the heck were you?"
"James" Lily groaned as she plopped down next to her friend. Her red hair as she sat down. Her green eyes flooded with fury. "Why the hell can't he leave me alone?"
"You know you like it." Ana replied, half smiling.
Lily turned around to see James right behind her. She had to admit he looked good, even when he was smirking. His jet-black hair untidy as ever. So built you could just see the muscles on his abdomen through his shirt.
It was kind of nice when he caught me. He has such nice features, and his eyes were the kind of eyes you could get lost… Wait. What the hell am I thinking? James strong and handsome? No way. True that he was every girl's dream. (He and his best friend that is) But I could never like him. He is a jerk.
But he did ask you out. That must mean he likes you.
Ya. But I don't like him. Do I?
"Earth to Lily" James said, bringing Lily back into the real world.
"Huh?"
"You were just about to get mad at me for sneaking up on you."
Right on cue, Lily remembered and started yelling at him for scaring her( even though he really didn't. she just wanted to yell at him to try to convince herself that she hated him) (though she would never admit it). James just walked off laughing with his Sirius.
"You… know...her...to...well," Sirius said between bursts of laughter.
"Just because you walk away doesn't mean you're off the hook James." Lily yelled angrily across the table. And the two boys burst out into even more laughter as thy sat down with Remus and Peter.
Remus and Peter were the least attractive of the four. Remus was attractive, and Peter, well, Remus was attractive, but not as attractive as James and Sirius were. James, because he wanted to get over Lily, and Sirius, because he could, both had dates every other day. However, Remus, because he was modest, and Peter, because no one wanted to go out with him, did not. But the four formed a bond just the same.
These four friends called themselves the Marauders, and were the pranksters of the school. And they, just like Lily and Anna, couldn't wait until the sorting was over.
"You would think they would make us stop watching this. It gets so boring," complained Anna.
"Ya, but I guess even 7th years have to watch," Lily grumbled because they were 7th years, along with the Marauders. Then the sorting ended, and Dumbledore stood up, but instead of clapping his hands and food appearing he had an announcement to make.
"Students, before we begin the wonderful feast, I have someone new to introduce to you this year. His name is William Sanders and he is a transfer from Durmstrang. He is going to be starting his 7th year here. I hope that you will show him hospitality, especially our prefects."
With this said, Lily looked up and gasped. Standing right beside Dumbledore was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen.
