Summary: Lily and James another fight, in a dark corridor all alone. At School, maybe in the dormitory and definitely in the common room, will Lily ever be rid of James and vise versa? Will they ever be out of eachothers heads? Will they ever be able to admit their feelings for one another and to themselves, first of all? What will take place? Only the story will tell...…stories better than the Summary, I should hope...

Disclaimer: It's called FanFiction for a reason…Basically, J.K. Rowling owns the characters and anything you recognise from the books and McFLY owns the song below the A/N. Please Read and Review!

A/N A little FanFic I came up with, please be nice, it's my first one, after all! UNLESS YOU'RE EVIL *scans audience* Naahh, I think you're nice UNLESS YOU'RE NOT! *Dun Dun DUUUNNN*

I decided to put in this song, I know it doesn't relate to the story, but it was my favourite song when I wrote this story, and the bottom line of the verse is quite fitting! Kinda...sorta... Just read the story will you!

But we are the lovers

If you don't believe me

Then just look into my eyes

Because The Heart Never Lies

-McFLY

Lily Evans sat comfortably on the soft maroon armchair in front of the lively Gryffindor Common Room fire. Her flaming red hair shielding her angelic face from view as she bowed her head, attempting to read her Defence against the Dark Arts textbook, which lay comfortably in her lap, for an upcoming exam they were having the following week. Although, she was failing miserably, as she read the same paragraph over 3 times in her head, whilst not really taking in any of the information about how to conjure the vanishing charm. 'Evanesco', of course, she knew the incantation, but how to conjure it... There was quite a bit of noise in the Common Room, deciding that this was the cause of her inability to revise, she became more and more irritated with the ever-growing ruckus.

She heard someone yell loudly, but that wasn't what annoyed her, what annoyed her was the vile and horrid sentence which was emitted from the mouth that needed to be washed out with soap several times. To put it short, it was a swear word, a horrid one at that, usually she wouldn't mind however this person was diminishing one of the Hogwarts professors. It was said ever so easily, as though it was just an ordinary word used in general chit chat, used by normal, civilised citizens it was said so calmly like the greeting of 'Hello' but it wasn't, Lily thought venomously. She was livid, to say the least, you could almost see the smoke emitting from her ears. That was it, she had had enough, Lily couldn't stand the noise, or the cursing of the professors any longer the anger boiled up inside her as the loud chattering continued and suddenly, she tossed her head back, and yelled, just loud enough for everyone to hear her;

'CAN YOU ALL PLEASE BE QUIET, SOME OF US MORE SENSIBLE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WORK HERE!' After all, it was around 11 o'clock at night, and they did have school tomorrow - not to mention double History of Magic which most of them would sleep in anyway, she was really doing them a favour, actually. They were ungrateful now, but they would thank her for it one day, maybe when they're working - possibly top rank - in the ministry (though this would be highly doubtful, with the lack of effort given by them currently!), she would be there, praise accepted with open arms…. None of them really seemed to realize the importance of this year, it was their 6th year at Hogwarts and just like her they should all be revising their butts off, to be frank, she was simply guiding them in the right direction.

"Calm down Lils" her best friend, Daphne, said from the armchair next to her, Daphne was one of the people who should have been revising but sadly, was not. Lily humphed and mumbled under her breath "Well they should…" and could see from the corner of her eye see Daphne roll her own green eyes, as she flipped her long brown hair over her slightly tanned shoulder.

After Lily's outburst, the noise in the Common Room started to die out, as the occupants of it started to disperse, with many curious looks in her direction. She was a Prefect, so most would be smart enough not to argue with her, they'd only land themselves in trouble.

With a huff, she returned to her book, but to no avail, as she suddenly realised – or rather admitted - the real reason she could not revise, her thoughts were constantly drifting off to one James Potter – James-Mischievous Smug Arrogant -Potter

'James Potter….' She muttered angrily under her breath as she suddenly shut her book with a loud snap, which made several heads swivel around in the now almost empty Common Room, coincidentally, one of them being James'. 'Everything is his fault!' She thought angrily, glaring into the fire, as though it was the one constantly finding its way into her thoughts.

"Why do I keep thinking of that insufferable, arrogant toe-rag" Lily exclaimed, loud enough for Daphne to hear

"Oh, you see my dear friend, there is a simple answer to that" Daphne interrupted in an attempt to answer her question, although, she was clearly wrong as far as Lily was concerned.

"Oh,really? Well, what is it then? Enlighten me, please."

"Oh, you know" Daphne dragged on, with a cheeky twinkle in her eye. She may be Lily's best friend, but boy did she wind her up! It was as though she was doing it on purpose.

"No, as a matter of fact I don't actually!" Lily answered back, annoyed. How was her own best friend capable of winding her up like this?

"Sweetheart, you can't be that clueless, you do know why, you're just afraid to admit it to yourself!" Daphne teased, enjoying every moment of Lily's torture "I suppose I might as well be out with it, it's quite simple really, love, you fancy Mr. James Potter"

"Oh-but-I-NO I DON'T" Lily spluttered herself to a stop, completely flustered. She took a second to regain her line of thought and started again, calmer this time, "Well, if your statement is true, which it is not, by the way, then how would I fancy someone with so many flaws? Hmm? Prove it"

"How should I know" Daphne retorted "You're the one who likes him, not me, my eyes are all for Black. It's obvious you like him, even an idiot can see that, the signs are all very clear, you see"

"NO I DON'T SEE-" Lily started she was outraged, but just as she was about to reply, Daphne continued, the smirk she knew so well never leaving her face much to Lily's complete annoyance. But also to her slight gratitude, as she realised she had nothing to retort back at her.

"His not-so-good qualities make you even more attracted to him"

"I'm not…" Lily replied quietly, for she had to admit, he was slightly more charming. As the years passed, he had become much less of an annoyance, while his rebellious demeanour was coming to be quite…attractive it had truthfully grown on her. Suddenly, her anger came back into her, full force.

"I am not drawn to James Potter! How could I, he's an irritating toe rag, and a flirt, and there are no 'signs,' as you so wrongly put it. Who could ever fancy him? Just thinking about him makes my blood boil! What with the way he prances around the school, like he owns the place with that smug look on his face!"

"Honey, you honestly could name the all of the things that are wrong with him, but you would still fancy him nonetheless" Daphne chirped away happily, now inspecting her nails.

"Well, why don't I like him then? If I name all of the flaws within him maybe you'll see truth and understand why I despise him, though it is a never-ending list, now where was I…?" Lily lost her train of thought as she was too busy admiring the way he ruffled his hair, hand behind head, how he was so charming, even when he was making her rage inside…..Daphne sighed from next to her, growing tired of Lily's stubbornness.

"Ah yes," Lily said, regaining her line of thought "he always runs his hands through his hair, as if anyone notices or bloody well cares, it just makes him look even more arrogant and smug. He prances around the school with the Marauders, as if they're all that, if he ever see's someone he deems fit he won't EVER leave them alone," she continued her ranting, almost aimlessly, trying to convince herself more than anyone else. Until she was rendered speechless "….and…and….."

"And….." Daphne groaned, she was growing even more exhausted of Lily and her stubbornness, and the fact that Lily had said the word 'bloody' was a big step for her, concerning her hatred for swearing. And was about to open her mouth to say something, as Lily had repeated herself on numerous occasions. But thought better of it when she noticed the glum look on Lily's face, as opposed to the furious one before, she decided that this was a great improvement, and thought better of opening her big mouth.

"And….."Lily thought as she secretly admired the way his eyes always shone with a cheeky gleam in his eyes whenever she caught him and the Marauders out at night, obviously breaking the rules – yet again-and the way he whipped his head around whenever called, while his raven locks would catch in the cool air, and smile at whoever had called him – unless it was a Slytherin, of course, particularly Sev. The way his face lit up whenever he saw her, his beautiful and charming smile, that had started to melt her heart, coming into view, the way he would always glare at whichever boy Lily was seen talking to, no matter who, and how he always grinned mischievously, whenever she caught him out-of-bounds at school….

"I fancy James Potter" she murmured, so quietly only Daphne could hear her, who was now grinning from ear to ear. A smile slowly creped upon Lily's flawless features as she repeated it over in her head. No matter how hard she tried, she knew in her heart, that it was true.

"N'aaaaw" Daphne slurred, triumphantly.

"Shut up" Lily snapped mockingly, although, she still had a large, goofy grin on her face, as she constantly repeated the words over in her head, instantly making her day brighten.

Almost as soon as she said this, she heard the most beautiful voice in the world, as her smile slowly grew and grew. However, this was much to Daphne's expense as the expression on her face was easily readable, as she was clearly basking in glory and was about to voice her triumph to Lily yet again, until….

'Hey Beautiful' the charming voice of James Potter said flirtatiously, with a sly grin on his face.
