I'm going to try to update this story better than my other one promise! Lol. This only my second story so review please! Suggestions are also welcome.

Disclaimer: I wrote one so I guess it means I don't own Harry Potter (darn!)

Chapter 1: The Idea

The door to the girls dorm room slammed shut. James winced. Lily had been unnecessarily harsh when she'd turned him down today.

"Bad luck mate," Sirius said, coming over to pat James on the shoulder. Remus looked up from his book long enough to nod sympathetically.

James shrugged. "I'm used to it by now, but maybe I should find a different approach," he said thoughtfully. Sirius nodded in agreement. "But what? Somebody give me a si-OW!!"

A paper airplane had hit James in the side of his head. "What the hell?!" Remus ducked back behind his book. Shooting him a dark look, James unfolded the airplane to see a flyer.

Attention all Hogwarts Bachelors!!

Having trouble finding available ladies?

Well let us help you!

Sign up for Hogwarts first ever Bachelor Auction!

List your name below:

Names were already on the list, from all houses. James and Sirius looked up from the paper. "How do we sign up?" James asked.

"Just sign your names using your wands and they'll automatically appear on all of the other posters," Remus explained.

As Sirius signed his name, he suddenly shouted and dropped the list, making a cross with his fingers. "I'm clean, I'm clean," he moaned.

James and Remus looked at him. "Um dude, what the hell is your problem?" James asked. "Cause we're a little worried."

Sirius opened his eyes and dropped his arms. "Oh sorry. I saw Snape and Malfoy's names on the paper- no further explanation needed." All three guys shuddered.

5 *incident free* minutes later Sirius and James were signed up. "Now all you have to do is pick out some music you want them to play when they introduce you."

"How do you know so much about this Moony? You're name wasn't on the list," James asked while Sirius looked off into the distance with a glazed look on his face.

"Easy, I paid attention when they were announcing it while you and Sirius were spacing out in class."

"W-We don't space…," James started but at that moment Lily came down the stairs to gather some books and left without giving him a glance. James continued to stare at the stairs she had came down. Remus shook his head and pulled out a camera.

He took a picture of Sirius "Exhibit A and Exhibit B," he muttered as he also took a picture of James. The flash pulled them out of wherever they had been.

"Huh? You were saying?" James asked. Sirius just shook his head as if he were trying to wake himself up.

Remus threw his hands in the air and walked to the dorm. "My point exactly," he said as he walked away.

"What's up with him?" Sirius asked. James shrugged.

Earlier that night

Lily slammed the door shut. Everyone in the room jumped in surprise. "Sorry everyone," she apologized. They went back to whatever they had been doing. Lily sat on her bed and sighed. These everyday confrontations with James Potter always left her feeling as if she should go back and apologize. Tonight especially since she had been really hard on him. It wasn't his fault that Petunia had sent her another letter calling her a freak and a misfit. Lily sighed again. That's when she noticed that everyone was crowded around the wall next to the door. "What's going on?" she asked.

One of the girls answered "It's the list of boys that are going to be in the bachelor auction." Lily looked at it. All of a sudden James Potter's name appeared on the list. Lily wouldn't of cared except for that he put for Lily Evans Only by his name. A red haze came around Lily's vision. She quietly went back to her bed.

Damn that arrogant Potter! He just won't give up. If he wasn't so pigheaded, he'd actually be a pretty nice boy and this would be cute instead of annoying as hell!

Standing up to put her pajamas on, she realized that she had left her books downstairs. "Crap," she cursed under her breath. Going downstairs, she saw that James Potter and his group were still down there. Great she thought. Ignoring him, she grabbed her books and went back upstairs.

As she got ready for bed, she realized that she wasn't angry anymore. She wanted to apologize again. Stupid mood swings! Puberty sucks! She thought as she drifted off to sleep.
