If I Could
Chapter 1.

She sat there staring at the mirror. Long tight, black, ringlets of hair, fell across her face, her intense green eyes stared back at her with an expression which only she could read. Why Me? Was all that you could read from her face. Why the hell had she become a witch, and why the hell would she have to face James Potter again, for the 7th and final year straight? Well, Lily, she thought, Your going to have to face him here, the Hogwarts Express, or at Hogwarts, so she might as well get it over with.
She reached over and turned on the faucet, and spalshed her face with cold water. She wiped her face, and slowly slipped out of the Lady's Room. She was walking along, trunk, and her owl, Paige, when she saw her best friend, Lane talking to some boys, whom she new just from a first glance.

"Lane! Over Here!" I yelled, as i ran up next to her. She hugged me, and we turned to see three seventeen year old boys staring back at me.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" I chirped with a frown. "I thought at least two of you would have gone sane, and lost Potter here over the holiday" I added as i looked at James Potter, Sirus Black, and Remus Lupin.(a/n: Peter is...well ill and is with his Aunt).

" L-l-l-i" Was all that the three could say.

" Are you three always this articulate?" I pressed.

" Well, I see you haven't lost your crown, Ice Princess." James mocked a bow." I also see, that you are trying harder and harder every year...to not fit in."

She knew what he was talking about. It was her new look...the gothic look. Tight black ringlits of hair, no makeup...and a frown. She wore a long black skirt, with a loose black blouse, and black dress shoes. Sure, the last six years of Hogwarts, she had been the popular one... but over the summer holiday she realized that it just wasn't for her. So...she did the first thing that came to her mind. She turned her red hair, to black, and smacked her drop dead gorgoes smile with a frown.

"Lil-You alright?" Lane asked concerned, Ah, Lane...her best friend ever since their 1st year. Lane was book smart, not to mention Boy smart. Her should-length blonde sunkist hair, and crystal blue eyes, made the boy's heart stop. But she wasn't interested in any of them, except for her current boyfriend, Sirus Black.

" Uh, Yeah. Just thinking..." I started out wearly.

" Yes, my dear friends, she was thinking...just as I do." James said pacing around the floor. Trying to look serious.

" You actually think!? You seriously could have fooled me Potter." I said coldly. She had hated James Potter since there 4th year. After his so called "plan to get back at Snape" had instead turned on her...she despised him.(A/n: You learn what happened in later chapters.) The only thing that made her even look him, was that Lane was dating his best friend, so she at least had to put up with him at least for five minutes a day.

" Ah, I am shocked! How could you presume something like that." James mocked putting his hand across his forehead.

"Well face it...I am leaving. I will talk to you later Lane" Lily said hugging her friend. She turned on her heal, and walked until she found an empty room, on the Express, and put her things in it. She sat down, and looked out threw the window.
She saw feilds, lakes, and bushes of berries and flowers, as the Hogwarts zoomed past the scenery. But then she noticed something she really hadn't before. Her reflection.
God, why am I doing this to myself?! You know you don't like it Lily. But, that doesn't matter, i am trying something new, to prove. To Prove WHAT?! Lily's mind screamed. Grr...alright...i will go back to my normal looks. She pulled out her wand, and whispered...Chicslaroma. And right before her, sat a girl of 17, will long thick beautiful red wavy hair flowing down her back. Her emerald green eyes, sparkled with ambition.
Now...it's time for my clothes. She opened her suitcase, and pulled out a light baby blue tank top, and a pair of flared jeans. She pulled down the drapes, and put on her pants, and just as she was about to put on her shirt. She heard a person fall into her room.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Was all she could scream as she saw James Potter stand up, then she noticed that all she was in was a pair of flared jeans, and a sports bra. Oh My god, Oh My God! was all that was going threw her mind.

"L-L-Lily, I am really sorry...i didn't know you were changing." He said as he backed away slowly.

" Well you could have kno-ckkkkkeeeeedddd" Were the last words that she said, as the train went over a anoymous bump, and sent James on top of Lily. Now they were both laying on the floor, James over Lily. The lights flicked...and because the blinds were down it was almost completely dark now.

But before either of them could get up they heard three people stumble in threw the door, to just stare at them in shock.

"Oh My God... this is the last thing I would expect from you two, Miss Evans, and Mr. Potter."
