Chapter 1 the Clash
Part 1: Lily Evans
Lily sat in her friend's bed humming to her as she stared out at the plain fields and yellow daffodils. She frowned. She hated daffodils; they reminded her of her step-dads house back in Yale's, she had long ago moved from there and into her school of Wizardry and Witchcraft.
Her step-dads house was filled with yellow daffodils in the front lawn so everyone could see, Lily hated the color yellow. It was too bright, it hurt her eyes.
It was the day before they went back to Hogwarts and she was staying at her friend Lena's house, her friend Ash was also there. Lily had stayed the summer over at Lena's, she wasn't wanted back home, at least not from her step-dad. Her mother and father loved her to death and they are very proud to have a witch in the family, but then the divorce happened.
Lily shook her head, she dared not remember what caused the divorce, she chose not to. It was best to just block that part of her life out.
So every summer since her first she's stayed at her friends and Christmas' was to be at her step-dads, she frowned. She was now fifteen and she hadn't seen her father since. He probably couldn't afford to keep her. Lily was never the same after that; she wasn't an emo-my-parents-don't-love- me-victimy-child. She was an unique individual that lived each day like it was the last, Lily took chances and never listened to anyone's opinions but herself, if she thought something looked cool, it was. If she thought she could wear something, she would. Lily Evans was one of the strangest and well-known girls in Hogwarts, for two reasons. One, she was loud and obnoxious and she always had something to say, she had a lot of friends all over Hogwarts, hardly any enemies; not even from Slytherin.
And two, she never cut her hair, she had promised herself that until the day she saw her dad again she would cut her hair and that's how its been. It was now down to her waist.
Lily had long beautiful crimson red hair that every girl would dream of, bangs that were cut to slant to the side, bright almond-shaped glowing emerald green eyes, square-rimmed black glasses, very white porcelain skin, freckles on one side of her neck, curvy on the hips down but was having trouble with chest growth. She knew she didn't have much of a chest, but she had killer legs that made up for it.
"Lily, check this out," her friend Lena said carrying a case of muggle dye in her room, smelled oddly like paint, "I've got my moms to make me some; shes awesome."
Lily eyed the dye, her face with a very queer expression, "I don't think so Lena."
"Sod off wanker." was her only response.
"Watch this git land herself in trouble." Ash remarked as she followed Lena in.
Lena Ebens was born from a very low-class magic family, wealthy enough for her family which consisted of her, her brother Dominic, and her mom. Lena was very spiritual and had a thing for Divination. She had short and choppy violet hair to her chin, v-bangs, warm chocolate brown eyes, light tannish peach skin, short slender curvy body and braces. She always wore jean material clothes, nothing more or less.
Ash Harris was a little more bold than Lena and careless about her looks than probably both of them. Ash wore assortments of clothes she found from anywhere and she bought clothes she traded in for her parents' inheritance. Ash came from a wealthy family of wizards, famous for their discovery of the latest broom stick: SilverStar20.Ash had shoulder length messy ginger hair, sea-green eyes, light skin, dimmed freckles and she was the tallest of the bunch (leaving Lily to be middle) and the oldest of the bunch too.
"Its not very nice watching," Lily remarked coyly, "Lena, don't you think your hair will fall out?"
"Has it ever?" she snapped. "I swear you're about the worst person I'd want around to do something risky."
Lily rolled her eyes, "Then who would you do it with?" Lena gave her a sheepish look. "I don't mean it that way, you perv."
"Well then you have a good point." Lena nodded.
Ash searched her pockets, "You mates have a fag to spare?"
"It'll cost yea." Lena said taking on out of her pocket.
"I hope that rots you." Lily said scribbling a few wise words on her paper.
"Yes but until then, can you please tell me what you're writing?" Ash asked peering over Lily's shoulder.
Lily's face lit up and her emerald green eyes glowed with pride, "It's for Kaleb."
Lena rolled her eyes, "Him?" Lena hated Kaleb, she was jealous of his relationship with Lily. He was her best friend.
"Of course, he hasn't written back in awhile, he always writes on the dot; almost immediatly." Lily said going into some of her thoughts.
"Well Sean hasn't exactly been writing either but you don't see me complaining..."shrugged Ash.
"Well he's your boyfriend, me and Kaleb are closer than that."
Lena frowned, "I don't see what you see in him; theres no difference in him than the rest of the bastards back in Hogwarts."
"Bastards, you say? Is that why you shoot Remus 'lovey-dovey' eyes, last year?" Ash smirked.
"Sod off."
Lily sighed, "You don't suppose we'll bump into that lot?"
"Reckon so, I mean what are the chances of us not bumping into them?" Lena breathed a sigh of relief of the change of subject.
"Slim." Ash finished.
"Lily I found a compartment!" Squealed Lena. Lily whipped around and practically danced into the compartment. Lena's newly re-dyed violet hair was making it easier to find them when she was lost. Lily looked at her watch and groaned, they still had ten minutes till the train left, and Lily has never been a patient person.
"Ba dum dum dum dum ba dum dum di!"Ash sang as she drew on a piece of parchment, she had her ways with a quill. "I don't think I'm going to like this year very much..."
"Whys that?" Lily started heaving a sigh of impatience.
What is was, she never figured out because at that moment the door opened and revealed a boy who looked a year older than all of them. He had a brown mop of hair on his head that hung loosely covering his eyes like bangs, he had warm gray eyes that shown vigorously behind his hair, he was extremely tall towering over the rest of the girls and he had a warm tannish peach skin.
"Kaleb!" Lily squealed jumping on him causing him to stagger backwards.
"Hey Tiger." he said grinning just as wide.
Lena frowned, she hated him, there was nothing more she desired than to watch him get hurt. She looked out the window and refused to look at him any longer. She hated him for two reasons, one she used to date him and it just got her angry when he acted that way with Lily and two she knew him too well and his intentions were always misleading.
"I've missed you so much! You hardly even wrote you wanker!" Lily moaned still holding onto him.
"I would use the term hardly". Lena mumbled.
"I know I usually write more but I got to see all these cool things and whatnot, you should check it out, c'mon," Kaleb looked at Lena and did a mock bow and in a very-low-obvious innocent voice he replied, "Lady Eben, can I borrow Miss Evans for a few minutes, per say?"
Lena's frown increased, if that was even possible and mumbled, "Why not, Lord Arsehole."
Kaleb grinned and pulled Lily away from them.
Kaleb pulled her into an empty compartment. Lily felt a bit uncomfortable being alone with him but quickly ceased of those thoughts because she knew him too well.
"Well Kale, what is it?" Lily asked anxiously.
Kaleb grinned and dug into his pockets, "Check these out, their beyond our awesome intelligence."
"I doubt that, love." Lily replied.
"Well doubt no longer Lily, dearest." Kaleb said holding out two rings. One was light silver with an emerald square shaped stone and the other was just plain silver. "Mate, these rings will always show us each other when we don't know where we are, like all you have to do is look at the ring and think of me and say 'Oshmoshbegosh' and a holographic picture of me will pop up and I'll be able to see you from my ring." Lily stared at her ring mesmorized, "I'm too lost for words."
"That's a first, anyways, it's safer to keep it on a chain then on your finger because-"Kaleb though for a moment, "They never quite got around to telling me why not...but its safer they said."
Lily nodded, "Alright, but lets keep this our secret."
Kaleb nodded, "Always our secret."
Severus spat out the window as he saw the-girl-of-his-dreams linked with Kaleb brush by in a hurried manner. He loathed all the morons Lily chose to be around, she was so much more than that in his heart. He saw more than her pathetic jokes, her tomboyish looks, her quirky comments; he saw beauty, innocence and so much more in those green eyes of hers. It wasn't love, it was pure animal lusting. He saw nothing but her body and a pretty face, he didn't care how smart she was and how her brained functioned, he just wanted to get in her pants.
The only thing stopping him was that low-life Kaleb; he was always around her like a flea on the Gamekeeper. It was impossible to even get near her. Impossible.
He gave another horrible spat and then wiped his mouth. He had to figure out a way, he had to.
Part 2: James Potter
Snitches and brooms. That was the only thing that ever left and came into Mr. Potters head...or at least people thought. He groaned. No one ever thought he could do better, no one thought he would ever become anything better. They just thought that he was going to become some big quidditch player and that someday he was going to marry some really gorgeous looking groupie.
Quite frankly, thats not how its going to end up for him. He planned to move somewhere far away where he can live in complete solitude, far away from any stereotype so he could just draw whatever passes by and sketch everything, not even for money.
That's another thing people didn't know about James, not even his friends though they might have already noticed, besides quidditch James loved to draw. Anything. Everything, whatever caught his interest. Usually girls or stuff around him.
"Prongs, what are you thinking about?" His best friend Sirius brought up grabbing a bag of Bertie botts.
"What do you think?" James said rather coyly though Sirius must have missed it.
"Oh...I know..."Sirius said smirking, though James very much doubted that he did."Moony, you look horrible! How was the full moon this month?"
"Like all the other ones," Remus replied sourly. "I don't know how much more of it I can take!"
"Your body looks like its hanging on by a limb or two..." Peter added, the sides of his mouth twitching.
"Well I'm glad I have your concern Wormtail." Remus snapped bitterly.
But in truth Wormtail was right; Moony looked paler than usual and a little bit skinnier.
"Don't be PMSing around me, mate, alright?" Sirius said grinning. That got Moony to smile.
"I give PMS a whole different meaning, don't I? Pre-Moon Symptoms." Remus snickered.
James grinned and stared out the window again and began to sketch, he had missed quidditch over the summer. Hardly got to play it. His mum didn't really like him flying around when she was home, she was never home anyways but it blows playing by yourself. He started sketching a girl on a broomstick with her hand outstretching to grab a snitch. He drew with lead so there was no specific hair color or view but she did look quite pretty, he drew her skirt extra short and she had long hair that blew with the wind, with dark eyes.
There was an explosion right out the door that made James jump at least three inches high, he fixed his glasses and put his drawing away. He grabbed his wand and stormed out the door.
"Hold up Prongs! I'm going with you!" Sirius said getting up clutching his wand in his robes.
James stepped outside the door and looked both ways; people were rustling on the right side of the train. He started to follow the noise, completely unaware that his best friend was at his side trying to pursue a conversation.
James finally reached the end of the train and there was a large crowd of people who he's never met before, although they looked his height. They all had amused smirks plastered on their faces and mischievous gleams in their eyes. They looked bold and arrogant, type of people James would know but in this case, he didn't recognize a single person.
"Okay! People move to the side, let the boy breathe! Move dammit!" said someone from the other side of the crowd. It was a girl's voice, but for a girl it was rather hoarse and demanding.
James moved closer to find the voice of the girl. He passed by a few people leaving Sirius behind. He saw a boy on the floor, a boy he recognized as Severus Snape and a redhead girl kneeling beside him cooing his face. The girl had long crimson red hair that was tucked behind her ear even though it fell by her shoulders it was long and was probably tickling old' Snape there, she had brushed her bangs to the side and he could note emerald green eyes that were full of curiosity, her skin was very white and alluring to him, she had black cat-eye glasses that made her look twice as beautiful.
James couldn't help holding his breath.
"Will you close your mouth and move out of my way!" The girl snapped directly at him, it took awhile for him to notice that she was angry...at him.
James nodded and blushed a bit, he stepped aside. He looked down at Snape on the ground and could have sworn he saw his mouth twitched but made no further thought about it because the girl looked so remarkably concerned.
"Excuse me, but why are you blocking the entrance just for this bloke?" James remarked rather boldly. He earned a few smirks from his peers.
"I'm not the one exactly blocking the entrance, am I Potter?" the girl replied darkly. "Maybe its your big head that gives it the illusion."
"Maybe, maybe not, but I still say other people want a get a move on and by the way sweetheart, might want to poke his stomach for further inspection." James said in a matter-of-fact voice.
The girl looked at him confused and looks down at Severus; she reluctantly moved her finger to his stomach and gave it a jam. Severus suddenly twitched and gave a high-pitched giggle.
"What the-"the girl snapped angrily. "You arse!" She got up and gave him a good kick in the stomach. "Here I am making a fool of myself and in the end your the fool, isn't that a good kick in the arse?"
She stormed away from the crowd leaving the others to mock and jeer at Snape.
"Well, I think I earned an apology..."James remarked cheekily.
"You do you think?" the girl replied coyly. "Well Mr. Potter, I'm sorry and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me."
"How formal, who are you trying to impress?"
"Why you Mr. Potter, I mean I've always dreamed of getting in your pants!" the girl squealed.
James looked at the girl and frowned, he thought she was different.
"Yea right Potter, you can only dream." She snickered.
James gave a sigh of relief, "How is it you know my name but I don't know yours?"
"How is it, in fact..."she mocked.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" James asked fascinated.
The girl shook her head, "Ask around."
James couldn't stop thinking of the girl, he hardly told anyone about her even though Sirius questioned and questioned to where he had gone off to. He kept it to himself the whole ride to school. He hardly ate or listened to what Dumbledore had to say.
Then he saw her again, she was linked arms with a guy he only knew as Kaleb, he was one of Sirius' acquaintances.
"Who's that?" James asked without thinking.
Remus peered over at him and said without thinking about it, "Way out of your league."
James frowned and snapped sarcastically, "What a lovely name."
"Its Lily Evans."
James suddenly felt himself go cold, not Evans! He thought, that couldn't have been Evans. He felt himself blush, no wonder she made a comment on his fat head!
He felt angry and embarrassed at the same time. He despised Lily Evans, ever since his third year she had turned his lollypop into a toad just when he was going to put it in his mouth. Traumatizing. He couldn't believe he let her almost penetrate and rule over his thoughts. She must have been so amused when she saw me gaping at her, how could I forget who she was? He thought
He heard laughing coming from his so-called friends.
"Who'd you think it was?" laughed Remus.
James said nothing.
Part 3: The Clash
Lily looked out her Hogwarts window and felt at home, she still had to go to classes and the fact of seeing everyone again excited her. She put her uniform on and put her hair in a messy bun letting hair fall out. Lena was too busy trying to spike her hair with her wand that she hardly noticed that ink was pouring out of her backpack so Lily quickly fixed that.
She stood in front of the mirror, she was wearing the Hogwarts uniform and for girls that was a skirt, school shirt, a vest, a long black cloak, white socks that reached her knees and nice pretty shoes. Except Lily didn't agree with the pretty shoes they wanted her to wear so she put on these grungey,grubby,gross old boots that she found at an old gas station back at her step dads house last Christmas.
She grabbed her stuff and made her way down the stairs.Kaleb was already sleeping on the couch.
"You git, get up we have to go to class." Lily said shoving him.
"We? What do you mean we? Have you not forgotten that your taking more classes than me? I get the first period off, love." Kaleb said turning his back on Lily.
"Your such a wanker." groaned Lily as she stepped out of the classroom. She looked straight ahead where she saw Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and (of course) James Potter.
Lily walked straight past them with her nose in the air, "Hello boys."
Remus grinned and shot a wink at James and greeted with, "Why aren't you looking' lovely this year, Lily."
"Eat your heart out, love." waved Lily as she brushed against James cloak.
"Oh yea so lovely, I mean those boots are just attractive." James replied sarcastically.
"Save your flattery for those who actually want to get in your pants, love."Lily said airily.
"What makes you think I don't already know you do?" James said cockishly.
"Don't waste your breath, because your head just might deflate," Lily pretended to think about it and said," That just might not be a bad thing."
"Those are getting extremely old," yawned James. "Those 'fat head' remarks you enjoy so much."
Sirius grinned at him and then a look of mock concern came upon him,"Prongesy is your head getting smaller?"
"We can only dream," said a voice out of no where.
"Ashyness!"Lily said jumping on her back. "Carry me, I'm surrounded by wankers."
"You best be including yourself." Ash remarked. "I saw Kaleb on the couch-"
"No class."
"Lucky duck."
"No doubt." Lily remarked. "Take me to class Ashywashikins!"
"Divination we go!" Ashy said making her way to the north tower. "Wait-fuck no, get off I'm carrying you up all those stairs."
Sirius eyes Ash curiously, "I bet I can carry you all the way up there without stopping."
Ash faced him and her eyes glittered with delight,"Oh really? You want to bet?"
"Yes I do."
"What do you suggest?" Ashy said grinning; she always loves a good bet.
Sirius thought about it for a moment,"Well, if I can make it all the way up you have to be my girlfriend for the week-("I have a boyfriend, and you know that.")-argh-fine then I gets a peck on the lips, fine then, and cheek"
"And if you lose?" Ash asked cocking an eyebrow.
"I guess...I could be your sex slave for a week..."Sirius said modestly.
"Tempting but no, how 'bout you..."Ash's eyes gleamed up and started to sparkle. "You have to jump in the lake in front of the whole Slytherin team, ("That's not that bad-") naked."
Lily snorted as Sirius' eyes filled with terror and his jaw dropped, James and Remus peered over at him curious to see his reaction.
"Well Black, what do you say?" Ash said putting her hands on her hips impatiently. "We're going to be late if you don't choose soon."
James glanced over at Lily and then quickly back at Sirius."Padfoot, not that I'm thrilled to be in Divinations or anything, but I want to get a move on, if you don't mind"
Sirius looked nervously at the ground where his eyes darted back to inanimate objects on the floor to his ratty shoes and then back up at Ash,"Deal, can we keep Snivelly out of this though?"
"Nope."
"Damn,"Sirius replied scornfully. "But you have to change it to lips then because what you want me to do is a hells lot worse then that."
"Hey you got that word from-"Lily started.
"Fine Black, but if Sean kicks your arse that's your own problem, not mine."
"I'll risk it." Sirius stood there momentarily,"Yep so are you going to climb on or are you going to apparate on my back?"
Ash blushed and looked at him, "Well...um...hover over and err...squat down, I'm that tall either..."
Lily and James watched bemused, their sides twitched but when their eyes met, James looked immediately away angry.
Lily couldn't help from laughing seeing Ash struggling to get on Sirius and Sirius staggering the side.
Sirius did pretty good carrying Ash to the North Tower till the end where he started staggering and walking a little to the side.
"Sirius, you might as well put me down now, because I don't want to be on your back if you fall." Ash warned.
"I'm...not...going...to...fall," Sirius said taking another step gritting his teeth.
Lily watched awestruck as Sirius took another step without failing to wobble, Lily looked back at Ash and saw a mischievous glint in her eyes, there was something unnatural going on...
"Sirius its probably the stairs fault you can't carry me...not used to exercising up stairs, eh? Well we all have our weak points."
Sirius glared at the ground without returning a comment to Ashes taunts.Brave, thoughtLily, or maybe just proud.
James looked at Lily and looked away; he couldn't keep his eyes off.
"Ash, are you good here? I don't want to miss class; I'll see you there, alright?"Lily finally announced impatiently. "I'll meet you in Charms with Lena and Kaleb."
Ash grinned at Lily and nodded, "Meet you there Ev."
"Okay, see you later Black, Remus..."Lily looked at James momentarily, "Potter."
During the rest of Divination James mind would travel to memories of his past occurrences with Lily, which all ended rather destructively,never-the- less, she wasn't half-bad. Still, he wasn't just about to admit it to himself. Sirius and Ash hadn't returned from their "date", that's what James was going to call it to tease him.
His eyes flickered to a very concentrated redhead, by concentrated he doesn't mean on her work, her eyes looked dead on locked on her wand under her desk and was paying very little attention to the ranting old hag in front of her.
James thought for a moment, he doesn't really know Lily, apart from her first and last name, he doesn't know her birthday, her likes, and pretty much stuff like that. She was pretty much an annoying wall flower to him. "Move it." said a very flushed redhead. "Potter, for the last time! Move, we need to get everyone to the Dormitory, we're going to lose the prefect!"
James stood there smirking at her, "Who are you?"
"Potter, we have no time for that!" she whined. "Please at least step aside."
James didn't budge, he stared at her transfixed on her green eyes, "I like 'em feisty."
"You are such an arse."he growled running a panicking hand through her hair.
"Lily is there a problem?" said a boy, a year older; he presumed.He was shooting daggers at James.
"No not a problem." James said stepping aside.
"Arse."Lily snapped brushing aside him.
"Lily's getting mad, Lilysgetting mad," chanted Sirius watching Lily's ears turn a very nasty shade of red."Lilys getting mad."
Lily lunged at Sirius choking him on the ground, punching every single limb he had. "I hate you, you sick bastard! Give it back or I'll kill you with my own fists!"
James group had caught Lily alone, which was practically a sport to them, Lily was always cornered with her group of friends and was never spotted alone but when she was they sure had fun with it.
Sirius had taken a box Lily had gotten from an owl.
"Whoa!" James tried lifting Lily away but then Lily turned around and hit him square between the glasses.
James encounters with Lily had always ended with either a fist fight or her friend Kaleb saving the day, he hated Kaleb, and all his friends hated him. He thought he was so cool because he hung out with Lily. James scoffed out loud thinking about him.
"Is there a problem, Mr.Potter?"
James looked at Lily then back at his Professor, "No."
Part 1: Lily Evans

"I doubt that, love." Lily replied.
"Well doubt no longer Lily, dearest." Kaleb said holding out two rings. One was light silver with an emerald square shaped stone and the other was just plain silver. "Mate, these rings will always show us each other when we don't know where we are, like all you have to do is look at the ring and think of me and say 'Oshmoshbegosh' and a holographic picture of me will pop up and I'll be able to see you from my ring." Lily stared at her ring mesmorized, "I'm too lost for words."
"That's a first, anyways, it's safer to keep it on a chain then on your finger because-"Kaleb though for a moment, "They never quite got around to telling me why not...but its safer they said."
Lily nodded, "Alright, but lets keep this our secret."
Kaleb nodded, "Always our secret."
Severus spat out the window as he saw the-girl-of-his-dreams linked with Kaleb brush by in a hurried manner. He loathed all the morons Lily chose to be around, she was so much more than that in his heart. He saw more than her pathetic jokes, her tomboyish looks, her quirky comments; he saw beauty, innocence and so much more in those green eyes of hers. It wasn't love, it was pure animal lusting. He saw nothing but her body and a pretty face, he didn't care how smart she was and how her brained functioned, he just wanted to get in her pants.
The only thing stopping him was that low-life Kaleb; he was always around her like a flea on the Gamekeeper. It was impossible to even get near her. Impossible.
He gave another horrible spat and then wiped his mouth. He had to figure out a way, he had to.
Part 2: James Potter
Snitches and brooms. That was the only thing that ever left and came into Mr. Potters head...or at least people thought. He groaned. No one ever thought he could do better, no one thought he would ever become anything better. They just thought that he was going to become some big quidditch player and that someday he was going to marry some really gorgeous looking groupie.
Quite frankly, thats not how its going to end up for him. He planned to move somewhere far away where he can live in complete solitude, far away from any stereotype so he could just draw whatever passes by and sketch everything, not even for money.
That's another thing people didn't know about James, not even his friends though they might have already noticed, besides quidditch James loved to draw. Anything. Everything, whatever caught his interest. Usually girls or stuff around him.
"Prongs, what are you thinking about?" His best friend Sirius brought up grabbing a bag of Bertie botts.
"What do you think?" James said rather coyly though Sirius must have missed it.
"Oh...I know..."Sirius said smirking, though James very much doubted that he did."Moony, you look horrible! How was the full moon this month?"
"Like all the other ones," Remus replied sourly. "I don't know how much more of it I can take!"
"Your body looks like its hanging on by a limb or two..." Peter added, the sides of his mouth twitching.
"Well I'm glad I have your concern Wormtail." Remus snapped bitterly.
But in truth Wormtail was right; Moony looked paler than usual and a little bit skinnier.
"Don't be PMSing around me, mate, alright?" Sirius said grinning. That got Moony to smile.
"I give PMS a whole different meaning, don't I? Pre-Moon Symptoms." Remus snickered.
James grinned and stared out the window again and began to sketch, he had missed quidditch over the summer. Hardly got to play it. His mum didn't really like him flying around when she was home, she was never home anyways but it blows playing by yourself. He started sketching a girl on a broomstick with her hand outstretching to grab a snitch. He drew with lead so there was no specific hair color or view but she did look quite pretty, he drew her skirt extra short and she had long hair that blew with the wind, with dark eyes.
There was an explosion right out the door that made James jump at least three inches high, he fixed his glasses and put his drawing away. He grabbed his wand and stormed out the door.
"Hold up Prongs! I'm going with you!" Sirius said getting up clutching his wand in his robes.
James stepped outside the door and looked both ways; people were rustling on the right side of the train. He started to follow the noise, completely unaware that his best friend was at his side trying to pursue a conversation.
James finally reached the end of the train and there was a large crowd of people who he's never met before, although they looked his height. They all had amused smirks plastered on their faces and mischievous gleams in their eyes. They looked bold and arrogant, type of people James would know but in this case, he didn't recognize a single person.
"Okay! People move to the side, let the boy breathe! Move dammit!" said someone from the other side of the crowd. It was a girl's voice, but for a girl it was rather hoarse and demanding.
James moved closer to find the voice of the girl. He passed by a few people leaving Sirius behind. He saw a boy on the floor, a boy he recognized as Severus Snape and a redhead girl kneeling beside him cooing his face. The girl had long crimson red hair that was tucked behind her ear even though it fell by her shoulders it was long and was probably tickling old' Snape there, she had brushed her bangs to the side and he could note emerald green eyes that were full of curiosity, her skin was very white and alluring to him, she had black cat-eye glasses that made her look twice as beautiful.
James couldn't help holding his breath.
"Will you close your mouth and move out of my way!" The girl snapped directly at him, it took awhile for him to notice that she was angry...at him.
James nodded and blushed a bit, he stepped aside. He looked down at Snape on the ground and could have sworn he saw his mouth twitched but made no further thought about it because the girl looked so remarkably concerned.
"Excuse me, but why are you blocking the entrance just for this bloke?" James remarked rather boldly. He earned a few smirks from his peers.
"I'm not the one exactly blocking the entrance, am I Potter?" the girl replied darkly. "Maybe its your big head that gives it the illusion."
"Maybe, maybe not, but I still say other people want a get a move on and by the way sweetheart, might want to poke his stomach for further inspection." James said in a matter-of-fact voice.
The girl looked at him confused and looks down at Severus; she reluctantly moved her finger to his stomach and gave it a jam. Severus suddenly twitched and gave a high-pitched giggle.
"What the-"the girl snapped angrily. "You arse!" She got up and gave him a good kick in the stomach. "Here I am making a fool of myself and in the end your the fool, isn't that a good kick in the arse?"
She stormed away from the crowd leaving the others to mock and jeer at Snape.
"Well, I think I earned an apology..."James remarked cheekily.
"You do you think?" the girl replied coyly. "Well Mr. Potter, I'm sorry and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me."
"How formal, who are you trying to impress?"
"Why you Mr. Potter, I mean I've always dreamed of getting in your pants!" the girl squealed.
James looked at the girl and frowned, he thought she was different.
"Yea right Potter, you can only dream." She snickered.
James gave a sigh of relief, "How is it you know my name but I don't know yours?"
"How is it, in fact..."she mocked.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" James asked fascinated.
The girl shook her head, "Ask around."
James couldn't stop thinking of the girl, he hardly told anyone about her even though Sirius questioned and questioned to where he had gone off to. He kept it to himself the whole ride to school. He hardly ate or listened to what Dumbledore had to say.
Then he saw her again, she was linked arms with a guy he only knew as Kaleb, he was one of Sirius' acquaintances.
"Who's that?" James asked without thinking.
Remus peered over at him and said without thinking about it, "Way out of your league."
James frowned and snapped sarcastically, "What a lovely name."
"Its Lily Evans."
James suddenly felt himself go cold, not Evans! He thought, that couldn't have been Evans. He felt himself blush, no wonder she made a comment on his fat head!
He felt angry and embarrassed at the same time. He despised Lily Evans, ever since his third year she had turned his lollypop into a toad just when he was going to put it in his mouth. Traumatizing. He couldn't believe he let her almost penetrate and rule over his thoughts. She must have been so amused when she saw me gaping at her, how could I forget who she was? He thought
He heard laughing coming from his so-called friends.
"Who'd you think it was?" laughed Remus.
James said nothing.
Part 3: The Clash
Lily looked out her Hogwarts window and felt at home, she still had to go to classes and the fact of seeing everyone again excited her. She put her uniform on and put her hair in a messy bun letting hair fall out. Lena was too busy trying to spike her hair with her wand that she hardly noticed that ink was pouring out of her backpack so Lily quickly fixed that.
She stood in front of the mirror, she was wearing the Hogwarts uniform and for girls that was a skirt, school shirt, a vest, a long black cloak, white socks that reached her knees and nice pretty shoes. Except Lily didn't agree with the pretty shoes they wanted her to wear so she put on these grungey,grubby,gross old boots that she found at an old gas station back at her step dads house last Christmas.
She grabbed her stuff and made her way down the stairs.Kaleb was already sleeping on the couch.
"You git, get up we have to go to class." Lily said shoving him.
"We? What do you mean we? Have you not forgotten that your taking more classes than me? I get the first period off, love." Kaleb said turning his back on Lily.
"Your such a wanker." groaned Lily as she stepped out of the classroom. She looked straight ahead where she saw Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and (of course) James Potter.
Lily walked straight past them with her nose in the air, "Hello boys."
Remus grinned and shot a wink at James and greeted with, "Why aren't you looking' lovely this year, Lily."
"Eat your heart out, love." waved Lily as she brushed against James cloak.
"Oh yea so lovely, I mean those boots are just attractive." James replied sarcastically.
"Save your flattery for those who actually want to get in your pants, love."Lily said airily.
"What makes you think I don't already know you do?" James said cockishly.
"Don't waste your breath, because your head just might deflate," Lily pretended to think about it and said," That just might not be a bad thing."
"Those are getting extremely old," yawned James. "Those 'fat head' remarks you enjoy so much."
Sirius grinned at him and then a look of mock concern came upon him,"Prongesy is your head getting smaller?"
"We can only dream," said a voice out of no where.
"Ashyness!"Lily said jumping on her back. "Carry me, I'm surrounded by wankers."
"You best be including yourself." Ash remarked. "I saw Kaleb on the couch-"
"No class."
"Lucky duck."
"No doubt." Lily remarked. "Take me to class Ashywashikins!"
"Divination we go!" Ashy said making her way to the north tower. "Wait-fuck no, get off I'm carrying you up all those stairs."
Sirius eyes Ash curiously, "I bet I can carry you all the way up there without stopping."
Ash faced him and her eyes glittered with delight,"Oh really? You want to bet?"
"Yes I do."
"What do you suggest?" Ashy said grinning; she always loves a good bet.
Sirius thought about it for a moment,"Well, if I can make it all the way up you have to be my girlfriend for the week-("I have a boyfriend, and you know that.")-argh-fine then I gets a peck on the lips, fine then, and cheek"
"And if you lose?" Ash asked cocking an eyebrow.
"I guess...I could be your sex slave for a week..."Sirius said modestly.
"Tempting but no, how 'bout you..."Ash's eyes gleamed up and started to sparkle. "You have to jump in the lake in front of the whole Slytherin team, ("That's not that bad-") naked."
Lily snorted as Sirius' eyes filled with terror and his jaw dropped, James and Remus peered over at him curious to see his reaction.
"Well Black, what do you say?" Ash said putting her hands on her hips impatiently. "We're going to be late if you don't choose soon."
James glanced over at Lily and then quickly back at Sirius."Padfoot, not that I'm thrilled to be in Divinations or anything, but I want to get a move on, if you don't mind"
Sirius looked nervously at the ground where his eyes darted back to inanimate objects on the floor to his ratty shoes and then back up at Ash,"Deal, can we keep Snivelly out of this though?"
"Nope."
"Damn,"Sirius replied scornfully. "But you have to change it to lips then because what you want me to do is a hells lot worse then that."
"Hey you got that word from-"Lily started.
"Fine Black, but if Sean kicks your arse that's your own problem, not mine."
"I'll risk it." Sirius stood there momentarily,"Yep so are you going to climb on or are you going to apparate on my back?"
Ash blushed and looked at him, "Well...um...hover over and err...squat down, I'm that tall either..."
Lily and James watched bemused, their sides twitched but when their eyes met, James looked immediately away angry.
Lily couldn't help from laughing seeing Ash struggling to get on Sirius and Sirius staggering the side.
Sirius did pretty good carrying Ash to the North Tower till the end where he started staggering and walking a little to the side.
"Sirius, you might as well put me down now, because I don't want to be on your back if you fall." Ash warned.
"I'm...not...going...to...fall," Sirius said taking another step gritting his teeth.
Lily watched awestruck as Sirius took another step without failing to wobble, Lily looked back at Ash and saw a mischievous glint in her eyes, there was something unnatural going on...
"Sirius its probably the stairs fault you can't carry me...not used to exercising up stairs, eh? Well we all have our weak points."
Sirius glared at the ground without returning a comment to Ashes taunts.Brave, thoughtLily, or maybe just proud.
James looked at Lily and looked away; he couldn't keep his eyes off.
"Ash, are you good here? I don't want to miss class; I'll see you there, alright?"Lily finally announced impatiently. "I'll meet you in Charms with Lena and Kaleb."
Ash grinned at Lily and nodded, "Meet you there Ev."
"Okay, see you later Black, Remus..."Lily looked at James momentarily, "Potter."
During the rest of Divination James mind would travel to memories of his past occurrences with Lily, which all ended rather destructively,never-the- less, she wasn't half-bad. Still, he wasn't just about to admit it to himself. Sirius and Ash hadn't returned from their "date", that's what James was going to call it to tease him.
His eyes flickered to a very concentrated redhead, by concentrated he doesn't mean on her work, her eyes looked dead on locked on her wand under her desk and was paying very little attention to the ranting old hag in front of her.
James thought for a moment, he doesn't really know Lily, apart from her first and last name, he doesn't know her birthday, her likes, and pretty much stuff like that. She was pretty much an annoying wall flower to him. "Move it." said a very flushed redhead. "Potter, for the last time! Move, we need to get everyone to the Dormitory, we're going to lose the prefect!"
James stood there smirking at her, "Who are you?"
"Potter, we have no time for that!" she whined. "Please at least step aside."
James didn't budge, he stared at her transfixed on her green eyes, "I like 'em feisty."
"You are such an arse."he growled running a panicking hand through her hair.
"Lily is there a problem?" said a boy, a year older; he presumed.He was shooting daggers at James.
"No not a problem." James said stepping aside.
"Arse."Lily snapped brushing aside him.
"Lily's getting mad, Lilysgetting mad," chanted Sirius watching Lily's ears turn a very nasty shade of red."Lilys getting mad."
Lily lunged at Sirius choking him on the ground, punching every single limb he had. "I hate you, you sick bastard! Give it back or I'll kill you with my own fists!"
James group had caught Lily alone, which was practically a sport to them, Lily was always cornered with her group of friends and was never spotted alone but when she was they sure had fun with it.
Sirius had taken a box Lily had gotten from an owl.
"Whoa!" James tried lifting Lily away but then Lily turned around and hit him square between the glasses.
James encounters with Lily had always ended with either a fist fight or her friend Kaleb saving the day, he hated Kaleb, and all his friends hated him. He thought he was so cool because he hung out with Lily. James scoffed out loud thinking about him.
"Is there a problem, Mr.Potter?"
James looked at Lily then back at his Professor, "No."
