Chapter 1 The Lily Evans

James P.O.V.

"Look at her!" Sirius spat in disgust.

I looked up from my charms Homework. "What?" We were in the common room and we were working on studying for our final exams. Lily Evans was sitting across the room with some of her friends and they had collected a few other people into their group laughing around a game of exploding snap.

"Evans and her posse." Sirius scoffed "It's disgusting" He shook his head. "The guys grovel at her feet, all the girls wish they were her; and are so far up her..."

"We get it." Remus interrupted.

"I'm just saying a girl like Lily Evans is sickening, how many hours do you think she takes in the morning to look that…phony," Sirius tossed his quill onto the table.

I shrugged "What does it matter?" I returned to concentrating on the essay that was due the next day.

"Yeah Sirius, if you want to know why don't you ask her?" Remus grinned and then sat up. "Hey Lily!" he shouted

She looked up towards us.

"How long does it take for you to get ready in the morning?!" He shouted again.

Sirius turned around ready to kill Remus. Remus dodged the couch pillow Sirius threw.

I completely ignored the fight between the two of them. Lily might have been a prep who belonged to a wealthy muggle family, but she was really nice. I'm not saying I like her; she's just really pretty and has the most amazing green eyes...

"…Earth to James…" Sirius was waving his hands in front of my face. "James!"

"What?" I glared at him.

"You got all starry eyed and started to drool." Sirius laughed.

"I did not! You're the one who drools Padfoot." I replied.

"You have a thing for Lily, don't you?" Sometimes I think Remus knows me to well... Wait a minute I don't have a thing for her.

"Yeah and pigs can't fly" I said looking over at him.

Remus looked like he was going to crack, "They can't!"

"What?"

"The saying is 'When pigs can fly' not can't" he grinned.

"You know what I meant." I smacked him.

"Prongs please tell me you're not falling for that... stuck-up, Hair spray over user, boy popular, prep, Evans?" Sirius wrinkled his nose.

"Sirius please don't tell me you've never thought about it? I mean come on she drop dead gorgeous," I said glancing at her. She was laughing about something, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course I have what guy who doesn't fly on the other side of the field hasn't. But don't tell me you've looked more then once?" Sirius looked disgusted.

I sighed "Sirius I wouldn't date her if my life depended on it."

"Good" Sirius patted my back.

"Now come on we have to pass our exams." I said getting back to the essay. I couldn't help but look over at her again. It was like fate she happened to look my way also, our eyes locked for a few seconds, until I looked back down. Looking back up I saw her looking at her feet this time. Was she disappointed? No way! Why would she be? I'm… James Potter, a nothing. She's Lily Evans; The Lily Evans.

A.N. Well I'm just tossing the idea in the air. Please read and review.
