A/N: It seems kind of stupid of me to do another story but I really wanted to do a Lily/James fic. So enjoy!
I love The Way You Hate Me

Lily Evans stood in King
Cross Station with her parents, Jill and Jeff, and her sister, Petunia. She was
totally confused. She had been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And
Wizardry. It had told her to be on Platform 9 ¾ at 11:00. Well she was there,
but the platform wasn't. Getting into Diagon Alley was hard but this was
terrible.
"See, Lily, I told
you there was no 9 ¾,"
"Oh, hush dear," Jill,
said. "I'm sure there is."
"Excuse me," said a tall
man with black hair. "Are you going to Hogwarts?"
"Yes, our daughter Lily is
a first year," Jeff said.
"Ah, so is my son James."
Gesturing to the boy standing behind him. "My name is Ethan Potter and this is
my wife Theresa, and James our son." (A/N: Those who watch Passions know why I
picked those names)
"Hello, I'm Jill Evans and
my husband is Jeff, and these are our two daughters Lily and Petunia." They
shook each other's hands.
"Are you muggles?"
"What are those again
dear?" Jeff asked Lily.
"Non-magical people
daddy."
"Oh, right, yes we are."
"Well, to get onto the
platform—" Theresa started.
"JAMES!!!!!" They all
turned to see another boy with messy black hair run over and tackle James to
the ground.
"Oh, Got help us, this is
one of my son's friends," Ethan explained. "Sirius Black, he is also a first
year."
When the two boys finally
stood up from laughing so hard they ran towards the barrier between 9 and 10.
They disappeared.
"As the two maniacs
demonstrated," said Theresa. Lily a little bit surprised this woman called her
own son a maniac. "All you have to do is go through the barrier."
Lily cautiously looked at
the barrier.
"Don't worry Lily, Ethan
will go through with you, won't you dear?"
"Yes, of coarse."
"Thank you this is very
kind of you," said Jill. "Maybe you guys could come over sometime?"
"Sure, we'd love to."
Lily kissed her parents
goodbye and walked toward the barrier with Ethan.
Once through, she saw a
swarm of people.
"Lily, just get on that
train right there, it will take you straight to the school. You can sit with
James, I'm sure he'll let you."
She said her thanks and
goodbyes.
When she looked around she
saw that James wasn't on the train yet. He, Sirius, and a brown-haired boy Lily
had never seen before were laughing and pointing at a skinny boy with greasy
black hair. She shrugged and got onto the train and found an empty compartment.
She sat down and pulled
out a muggle book that her mom had bought her. She started reading when a
rumble of laughter came into her compartment.
"Did you see his face?
That was priceless!"
"Sirius, to you, anything
is priceless."
"Oh shut up Remus. You
have to admit that was—oh sorry we thought this compartment was empty."
"So did I, until you got
here." Lily said not taking her eyes off her book.
"Hey aren't you the girl
my dad was talking to? Do you care if we sit here?" asked James.
"Yes and Yes." Lily said
closing her book.
"Yes and yes what?" James
asked.
"Yes I am the girl and yes
I do care."
"Oh, look all the other
compartments are full."
"So?"
"So we really need to sit
here."
"Do you have to sit here
or can you sit over there?" Lily said pointing to the seats farthest away from
her.
"Smart ass," Sirius
whispered as he continued to drag his trunk.
"I heard that!" she said.
Sirius's face went red.
~~~~~~~
Lily was standing in the
front of great hall, waiting to be sorted. From what she overheard from James,
Sirius, and Remus's conversation, Gryffindor was the best.
"Black, Sirius," Sirius
walked up and when he passed Lily, he winked at her. How odd she
thought. Sirius sat on the stool for about two minutes before the hat finally
called out, "GRYFFINDOR!"
She kept waiting. Finally,
"Evans, Lily," She took a deep breath and walked up, sat on the stool and
placed the hat on her head.
Hmmm, very tough
decision… she heard the sorting hat
say.
You are very clever,
Ravenclaw might suit you, but I'll put you in GRYFFINDOR!"
She went to go sit at the
Gryffindor table. She saw Sirius beckoning to her and giving James thumbs up
sign. She looked and saw James shaking his head mouthing 'no'. When she sat
down in the chair Sirius had told her to, she saw James groan.
"If James wants to sit
here I'll move," she suggested.
"No, no, Lily that's not
it you sit here."
Remus and James were both
made Gryffindors. Remus was sitting on Sirius's other side, which gave James no
choice but to sit next to Lily.
She heard him whisper to
Sirius, "What the hell are you guys doing this to me for?" Sirius and Remus
smiled. "I'll tell you later."
"What am I poisonous? Why
don't you want to sit next to me?" Lily asked.
"How did you hear that?"
James asked finally slipping into the seat next to her.
"I have exceptionally good
ears."
"Oh."
She heard the name,
"Snape, Severus," being called. She looked up and saw the boy James had been
tormenting earlier. Not two seconds after the hat touched that boy's slimy head
did it scream out "SLYTHERIN!"
"Why am I not surprised,"
she heard Remus say.
~~~~~~~
Lily sat reading in her
dorm. She loved reading, and it was far too noisy in the common room. The door
opened and a girl with light blue eyes and dark brown hair walked in.
"Hi, My name is Molly
Kenia. What's Yours?" (Yes, that is Molly Weasley back in school)
"My name's Lily Evans"
"Hi, do you know my
friend, Remus Lupin?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I just wanted to know if
you thought James and Sirius were totally nuts."
"Oh, well yeah I think
they are."
"Finally someone else who
thinks so!" The two girls laughed and started unpacking.
~~~~~~~
So, pray tell, why did you
make sit next to Evans, eh?" James asked once settled into their dorm.
"Oh, just trying to set
you up, you know after Lisa." Sirius answered with a 'duh' tone.
"Well, if you are going to
set me up with someone, set me up with someone better than Evans, got it?"
Oh, Remus, I think he
loves her, what about you?"
"Yup, defiantly."
"What friends I got."
~~~~~~~
Lily and Molly were
walking down the hall to what now was their favorite class, Charms. When
something hit Lily full force in the back. She fell to the ground and hit her
head on the ground.
Hard.
She was laying there for
about a minute (well what she thought was a minute) when she opened her eyes.
When she looked up she didn't see Molly, but James Potter.
"What the hell did you do
Potter?"
"I'm so sorry Evans, you
see Snape was walking behind you and we were trying to hit him but it kinda,
er, well it missed."
"No shit, Potter, I
figured that! Where's Molly?"
"Well, you've been out for
like 45 minutes. And Madam Pomfrey made her go to class."
"Then why aren't you
there?"
"I'm here on detention for
hitting you."
"Well you deserve it," she
said looking away and crossing her arms across her chest.
"Madam Pomfrey?" James
said knocking on her door.
"Yes, Mr. Potter what is
it now?"
"She's up,"
"All right,"
After Madam Pomfrey
stuffed smelly, foul-tasting, goop down her thought, Lily sat silently reading
a book.
James (while cleaning the
'puke bowls' as he referred to them) found his eyes keep wandering over to
Lily. Well, you have to hand it to Sirius he thought, she does have
pretty eyes, well compared to those damned Hufflepuffs.
"What are you looking at
Potter?"
"Oh, sorry," he said. Don't
go red don't go red. Why does that never work?
~~~~~~~
"So how was your detention
with Lily?" Sirius asked James laying upside down on his bed smiling.
"It was a detention, I had
to clean the puke bowls, how do you think it went?"
"I think you liked
it cause you like Lily."
"Well, Sirius, for your
information, not everyone likes detentions like you, oh detention king, and I
DO NOT like Lily. But at least I don't like Rachel Greene." (Sorry, I was watching
Friends while writing this.)
"Yo, you leave the Rach
alone. James, you are my free ticket to Rachel ok?"
"How am I your free
ticket?"
"Uh-duh James! She shares
a dorm with Lily!"
"Sirius?" Remus said.
"What?"
"Have you forgotten me?
I'm good friends with Molly and she shares a dorm with Rachel too."
"Yeah but if I asked you I
wouldn't be able to torture James about liking Lily now would I?"
"Ah, good point," Remus,
said going back to his magazine.
"Why don't you two let me
live my own love life? Mm?"
"No; it's more fun this
way."
"All right, Remus, want to
come with me and find Rachel?"
"Ok, ok, I'll leave you
alone, today."
"Joy, one whole day."
~~~~~~~
Around November during Transfiguration,
James sat behind Lily, and he bewitched the quill he had transfigured to keep
tapping Lilly on the shoulder. James and Sirius were trying to keep the
laughter down so McGonagall wouldn't think anything was going on.
When the lesson ended and
they got outside Lily broke loose.
"What the hell do you
think you were doing? Eh? I have a bruise on my shoulder! Now are you happy?
You know what? Don't answer that cause I know what you are going to say."
"James? Sirius?" Rachel
asked.
"What?" asked James.
"Yeah, Rachel?" Sirius
asked.
"Um, I was just wondering,
why do you guys pick on Lily so much? It is very unattractive," She said the
last part looking at Sirius.
"Well, I don't know, she
is an easy target I guess." James answered.
"Oh, Sirius, could I talk
to James alone for a sec?"
"Yeah, sure, see ya
later."
Rachel watched him leave.
"James, promise you'll
answer me truthfully," James nodded. "Does Sirius like me?"
"Well, um, well," James
had no idea what to say (for once).
"Yeah, that's what I
thought, thanks James." Then she left.
"Uh your welcome, I
think."
~~~~~~~
Lily sat in the back of
the library trying to find a good book to read. What kind of library is this
if it has no fiction, then again this library is huge, it'll take me hours to
find a book. She decided asking the librarian would help.
"Excuse me? Do you have
any fiction books I could do for extra reading?"
The librarian looked up
from her work and said, "Follow me."
She followed her to a
small shelf in the very back of the library. When she was sure Madam Pince was
out of earshot, she said to her self, "Wow, what a BIG selection."
She picked out one and sat
down on the ratty old couch. She heard laughing from somewhere. Finally out of
nowhere, James, Sirius, and Remus were rolling on the ground laughing.
"What?!" Lily said. They
have all gone mentally ill. And I thought Remus was sane.
"Look—at—your—pants!"
Sirius managed to say during breaths.
She looked down at her
pants and then at the couch. The couch had red paint on it. (For all the girls
that are 'mature' you know what they were doing.) Her pants had red paint to
now, right on her butt.
"What the hell did you
do!!" She jumped up and tacked James down, and started punching him hard.
"Ha ha ha ha ow! Ha ow!
Ouch WILL YOU STOP!!!" James screamed.
"I will once you apologize!"
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry."
"No your not!"
"You're right I'm not so
get the hell off me!" He pushed her off, got up, and stormed out of the
library.
"Have you ever seen him
this mad?" Remus asked.
"Once, that was when Lisa
dumped him for that Kenny guy."
"Oh, right. I remember."
"Um, who is Lisa?" Lily
asked oblivious to what they were talking about.
"Oh, well, duh!" Sirius
said as though she should know. "James ex-girlfriend from fifth grade. Let's
go."
She watched the two leave,
forgetting about the paint. Why am I not surprised James has already had a
girlfriend?
~~~~~~~
"Didn't she piss you off
too?" James said once back in dorm.
"Well, no not really. Then
again she wasn't beating the shit out of me. And besides, we thought you would
like having her on top of you, I guess you like being on the top." Sirius said
trying not to make jokes. It didn't work.
"For the last damn time
Sirius, I don't like Lily ok?!?" James slammed the door after he walked out.
"Um, please do tell, Remus,
where in this school is James exactly going to go without the
invisibility cloak, this, I would say is the most private place he could go."
"Don't look at me, I am
clueless as you are. Wait no scratch that. I'm not. I'm not exactly stupid."
Sirius stuck his tongue
out and walked out of the dorm.
Remus looked around, the
only person left in the room was Peter Pettigrew. "Two down, one to go." (I was
going to end it here but I decided to continue! Ü!!)
~~~~~~~
James sat on a huge rock
at the edge of the lake skipping rocks. He didn't hear nor see Lily come down
and lie on the grass next to him with a book in hand. She didn't notice him
either. When he got off the rock though, he noticed.
"OUCH!" Lily said when
James had stepped on her back. "What'd you do that for?"
"Oh, I didn't see you
there," He said still kind of out of it.
"Obviously," She said
talking to herself.
"What are you doing here?"
(Like I said he was out of it, he didn't see the book.)
"Duh, reading what does it
look like I'm doing?" Lily thought he was more nuts than usual. "What are you
doing out here?" James sat down next to her.
"Oh, Sirius just pissed me
off."
"That's a first."
"Now don't you start too."
"Start what?"
"Start assuming things
that aren't true."
"Oh, is that what Sirius did?"
"Yeah."
"Why what was he
assuming?"
"Oh, he just thought that
I liked---"
"Oooo, who do you like?"
"NO ONE!"
"Sorry but who did he
think you liked?"
"Well, he thought I liked,
um, well you."
"Ah, so this CAN NOT be
could for you."
"What, Why?"
"Sirius is right behind
you."
"WHAT?" He turned around
to see Sirius smiling as wide as the Cheshire cat.
"F.Y.I. Sirius, James
doesn't like me, and I don't like him ok?"
"Yeah right, this is all
the proof I need."
"Ah, just for the record
Sirius," James said, now matching his smile, "I told Rachel you liked her."
"Me too." Lily said piping
up.
"WHAT?!?! You did
WHAT?!?!?"
"Hi, Sirius." A girl's
voice came from behind them. By this time James and Lily had went into giggle
phase.
"Oh, uh, hi, Rach."
"Come with me," She said
grabbing his hand, and dragging him across the lawn giggling.
"Oh, man, I would pay 20
Galleons to see that!" James said staring after them.
"Why pay money when you
can have front row seats for free?" She ran off after them. James shook his
head and quickly followed.
