A/N Well hello there :) This is the first story I've put up, so if I do anything wrong I can blame it on that. *evil laugh* Enjoy. Reviews would be muchly appreciated as I would really like to improve :)

And as green light filled her vision, her life began to flash through her mind and she remembered her parents, her sister, her primary school, Severus, magic, Hogwarts... and James.

Chapter 1: First Sight

The first time Lily saw James Potter it was in a very different setting than the last. The first years had just finished unloading themselves from the train and she was standing with Severus, rocking from the balls of her feet to her heels and back again.

"Why do you always do that?" Severus asked her in a slightly annoyed voice.

"It's because I'm nervous. Are you trying to tell me you're not nervous at all?" she retorted.

"No, not at all." he said smugly and crossed his arms."I know which house I'm going to be sorted into; Slytherin" It was at that moment that the boy with permanently messy brown hair walked up to them and into her life, changing it forever, although none of them knew that then.

"Sorry, we couldn't help overhearing your conversation, because, well, we were eavesdropping, and that makes it so hard not to hear conversations. Anyway, we heard you talking about Slytherin"

"And so what if we were?" Lily said heatedly, there was just something about this boy that immediatly annoyed her "Last I checked it was none of your business"

"Pffft, you pureblood Slytherin families, you all think you're so much better than everyone else, just because your parents were both wizards does't grant you superiority or something"

"Acctually, for your information, my parents are muggles" Lily said, two older Slytherin girls heard and gave her dirty looks as they pushed past and walked away.

"Oh. Well, I'll bet 'Slimy' over here is Slytherin material, through and through."

"So what if I am" Severus said in one of his rare moments of courage.

"Ooh, trying to show off infront of your girlfriend are you?" one of the boy's quickly forming possie put in.

"She is not my girlfriend. She's just my friend. Who's a girl"

"Which makes her you girlfriend." the possie member continued.

"Does not!"

"Does too!"

"Okay Sirius. Let's not waste our time on him now. After all we'll have heaps of time later. Seven years in fact" the boy patted his friend and then turned back to Lily and Severus "I'm James by the way" he shook hands with Lily but as his hand was about to lock together with Severus's, he pulled it back with a small, cruel smile."I don't think so, I wouldn't want to catch Slytherin germs off you, now would I" he said sarcastically and walked away with his friends, all of them laughing, leaving Lily steaming at the stupid boy with the stupid jokes and the stupid hair.
