O.k...I have way to many stories going around but I loved this idea after watching the movie. I know it may stick right with How To Lose A Guy in Ten Days but it will lead off into my own making so keep me motivated with reveiws!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. HOWEVER, I DO OWN THE CHARACTERS OF MY OWN MAKING. I ALSO DO NOT OWN HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS.
How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days
Chapter 1: The Perfect Guy
Lily sighed heavily and threw another crumpled piece of parchment into the fire. She dipped her quill into her ink and doodled on the edge of a journal placed on the desk before her.
How to blast away blemishes…Lily scratched away the title. It was two weeks before her next column deadline and she had no clue what to write about.
Lily Evans started to regret signing up for the Hogwarts Tribute. It was the first year of the news letter and Lily had competed-and won- the right to write the How To column. It was also the year Lily became Head Girl and practically head of everything else. Dumbledore would ask her advice on new events for the school, like the Christmas Ball.
It was an honor having Dumbledore trust her opinion so much or maybe he was just making up for the horrible decision of having the snobby, big headed, overly confident, stubborn, perverted, absolutely disgusting James Potter as Head Boy. Lily grimaced at the thought of the bed headed idiot.
"You done yet, Lils?"
Lily stood from her place in front of the warm fireplace and faced one of her best friends, Adison Lawrence.
"Yeah, might as well. I have the most awful writer's block," she yawned and gathered her paper, quill, and ink.
"Ah," Addy plopped down in a cushy armchair. "Did you hear about Remmy?"
Lily waved her wand and the supplies in her arms disappeared and she lay down in the couch opposite of her. "No, what happened?"
"She was dumped," Addy laughed, "poor girl was so devastated."
"Addy! Did you comfort her or anything?" Lily sat up.
"I tried but she thought I wasn't being sincere!"
"Were you?"
"Well, erm, it was a funny situation…"
"Adison Dawn Lawrence! What kind of friend would laugh at a friend who's been dumped?" Lily scolded.
"Lily, honestly, Remmy's relationships usually end because she's been cheating on the poor guy! She got what was coming to her," Addy shrugged.
Lily's glare softened and a small smile flickered across her sweet face. "All the same, you don't laugh! That's like breaking the number one rule of friendship!"
"So when's your column due?" Addy changed the subject quickly as she fingered a frayed edge of the rug.
"Two weeks and I have no idea what to do!" Lily took the bait and laid back on the couch in exasperation. "Tanya is all over me about it."
The two Gryffindors sat in silence and watch the fire slowly dim to ashes. Lily's eyes fluttered as she struggled to stay awake. Suddenly, Addy gasped loudly.
"I know what you can do!" Addy sat up excitedly.
"What?" Lily pointed her wand at the fire so she could she Addy's excited face clearly.
"How to lose a guy in ten days," she sat expectantly with her mouth spread in a wide smile. Lily thought about it and she started to smile too.
"That's great! Perfect, absolutely wonderful!"
"I know, right!?"
"Except there is one problem," Lily said and Addy's face fell, " who's the guy?"
Addy raised a finger and Lily could see a little light bulb go off in her head. The problem: Lily didn't know what her idea was.
"Addy…" Lily said slowly.
Yet Addy said nothing and walked up the stairs with an over exaggerated yawn. "My, my it's late. See you in the morning, Lil."
Lily just shook her head and sighed whatever it was, it had to wait until morning. Lily closed her eyes and fell asleep before she could muster the will power to tuck herself into bed.

"Oh, Lily it was awful!" Remmy's eyes were puffy and blood-shot. She had abandoned make-up, making her look almost alien to Lily and Addy.
"I-I'm sorry, Rem," Lily hugged her friend.
"I couldn't believe he would cheat on me with my cousin!" Remmy sniffed against Lily's shoulder as Lily looked around the Great Hall helplessly.
Her cousin? Lily mouthed and Addy just shrugged.
"Oh, Remmy, that's awful," Addy said sympathetically.
"Ooo! Don't you even, Adison. You were laughing when I told you!" Remmy raised an accusing finger. Lily blushed and looked down at her plate of food, the whole Hall was staring at the trio weirdly.
"Young love, how… dramatic," Sirius slid in beside Lily and pulled the entire plate of sausages towards him and began squirting ketchup on top of them.
"Don't be too upset, Remmy. Toby told us that you were a better kisser than Hallie, hands down," James smirked and laughed.
"Oh, you two are terrible! I do not know how you survived six and a half years of Hogwarts without me strangling you!" Remmy said, her face in an outrage.
"We get that a lot actually," James replied thoughtfully. "And speaking of young love, Evans, you know a Hogsmead trip is this week end—"
"No."
"Right," James looked downcast and smothered butter on his toast.
"How the hell did you make Head Boy, James?" Addy asked.
"Something we've all been trying to figure out," Remus chuckled and took a place beside James. James smiled widely showing a row of crumb-encrusted teeth.
"Ah! Professor McGonagall, may I say that you look absolutely ravishing this morning?" Sirius complemented as the professor handed out schedules.
"Don't try it, Mr. Black, you still have detention for the rest of the week," Professor McGonagall said with a sever look. Sirius shrugged and returned to his food.
"What a perfect way to start out the day," Remmy grumbled. "Double potions with my cousin and her bitch." She managed a wry smile.
"I have Arthrimecy and then we go to Herbology together after lunch," Addy ran a finger down her list.
"Well, since we took the same classes as Moony, we might as well stay in bed!" Sirius slapped Remus on the back causing him to choke.
"Where's Peter?" Lily asked suddenly.
"Mother's sick," James responded.
"She's been sick a lot it seems," Remmy said.
The three boys shrugged their shoulders and continued eating.
"I forgot my bag upstairs," Addy smacked her forehead, "come with me to get it."
"Alright," Remmy grabbed a stack of toast and a cup of juice and walked out of the Great Hall.
"Hungry?" Lily raised an eyebrow at Remmy who was stuffing her mouth full of toast.
"I eat a lot when I'm depressed," Remmy swallowed and took a large gulp from her cup.
"Lily, you know your column?" Addy stopped by the ever-changing staircase.
"Yeah, how could I forget?"
"I know the perfect guy."
Lily gave her a skeptical look. "Who?"
"James Potter," Addy said.
"Hell no!" Lily shook her head in disgust and took a few steps back.
"Yes! It would be so perfect! You could date him until the Christmas Ball and then -BAM!," she punched her fist into her left hand, "you dump him."
"That is so mean, though," Lily said.
Remmy breathed heavily and gave Addy a knowing look, "I had an inkling that you couldn't do it. Just like when you 'absolutely couldn't' go to the Shrieking Shack with us."
"Or when you couldn't even fly on a broom because so many people had died in broom accidents and yet we were going to hover a couple feet off the ground," Addy said.
"Oh, is that it, then? You don't think I can do it?" Lily said, offended. Remmy and Addy just shrugged. "Well, I can do that! I just don't want to because I'm not that mean."
"You shoved that Slytherin girl in the lake last week!" Addy exclaimed.
"She had it coming to her!" Lily objected.
"Don't you think James has it coming to him?" Remmy said slyly.
"Well, yes…"
"Then why don't you do it?" Remmy said.
"Because, that's just so mean!" Lily said quietly.
"Remember the time James wore that 'Please date me, Lily Evans' shirt for nearly a month? And he told his life story to every person that asked him about it and that made you look like a total bitch," Addy said.
"Don't you think that was mean? And the time he 'accidentally' spilled frog juice all over us?" Remmy shivered from the memory.
"And the time he--"
"Alright, I'll do it!" Lily sighed heavily.
"YES!" Remmy and Addy gave each other high-fives. Lily just shook her head and wondered what she was getting herself into.
There is a pretty blue button I would like you to push! And critisam is welcome! Thanks!
