'Potter. You do not understand. I do not like you. I will never like you. Get over it,' Lily Evans and James Potter were arguing. It wasn't a rare thing, however, because they fought non-stop. James had made the mistake of asking Lily out when she was in an extremely bad mood.

'No, Lily. I do not understand. Why don't you like me? Every other girl in the school does!' James had a huge ego. He was the chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, he was popular, he hexed people just because they annoyed him, he pulled pranks on the school regularly and he was in love with Lily Evans.

'Well, as you can see, I AM NOT EVERY OTHER GIRL IN THIS SCHOOL!' Lily was a worker. She was very studious, but had a fiery hot temper to match her fiery red hair. She always did her homework, never got detention, had been elected as the female Gryffindor Prefect, her partner being Remus, and hated James Potter.

'Merlin, Lily, don't need to shout! I'm just trying to prove a point,'

'Merlin, Potter, don't need to inflate your ego more than you have already,'

'Ouch, Lils, that stings,'

'Don't you DARE call me Lils,'

'I will call you Lils all I want, Lils'

'That is IT!' with a flick of her wand, she sent a bat-bogey hex straight at James, hitting him square in the face.

James, however, knew the counter curse and immediately used it. His face was filled with disappointment from Lily's violent and short-tempered rejection. His next move caught Lily by surprise. He sent a hex straight at her.

At first, Lily didn't know what he had done to her. Then she felt something protruding from the top of her head. She looked at James suspiciously and ran to her dorm, where there was a mirror.

She reached the mirror and gasped — James had given her cats ears.

'POTTER!' Lily was fuming. 'I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!'

Lily ran down the stairs and whipped out her wand. But James was nowhere to be seen.

'WHERE IS POTTER?!' Lily barked at Sirius, who was sitting in front of the fire, snickering.

'He ran away when you did' Remus replied, ignoring the death stare Sirius was giving him, 'He's at the Astronomy Tower,'

'Thanks, Remus' As she ran through the castle she was very puzzled. What has gotten into him?

When Lily reached the door of the astronomy tower, she stopped and caught her breath. The door was slightly ajar so Lily peeped through the gap. James was leaning over the railing, looking over the grounds. It wasn't until he wiped his face and sniffed that she realised he was crying.

Lily walked through the door and it opened with a creak. James didn't look back and just said, 'Go away, Padfoot. I want some time alone.'

'Um, James?' Lily said, amused.

James spun around, his face filled with sadness but you could see the humour in his eyes - he was staring at her ears.

'Lily, what are you doing here? How did you find me?' He sounded extremely nervous.

'I came here to find and potentially kill you. And as for finding you, Remus told me.' Lily had temporarily forgotten about her plan to kill him when she had reached the tower.

'Please don't kill me Lily, thats my own spell, and only I know the counter-curse' James was getting more and more worried by the second. He knew how destructive Lily could be.

'I said "potentially". I don't plan on killing you any more,' Lily's voice was soft.

James took his wand out of his back pocket and silently removed Lily's ears. Neither of them said anything, just stared into each others eyes.

'Thanks,' Lily breathed under her breath, breaking the eye contact, determined not to have anything "romantic" happen between them. She smiled a small smile, turned, and left James standing in the astronomy tower. He then turned and proceeded to look over the balcony again.
