A/N: Alright, here's what I've decided to do: I'm starting something new, something more detailed, with more chapters (hopefully) and something with an actual story line. This is of course about Jily but it's not all about them it's about their journey to each other, how they fell in love and became a couple. They will date other people, they will not get along most the time, because like real life, they are humans who don't just kiss once and fall in love. In the end of course they will be together, but this is a long journey that they made, starting in their sixth year, ending in their seventh. Don't get mad please if it doesn't go the way you want, it's not the way I want either but for the sake of the story, and the characters themselves, let's have some reality in the story. Thanks and goodnight - Dogfur

Lily

Lily woke to light shining in her eyes, looking around her room she shifted slightly and climbed out of bed. Walking over to her mirror she grabbed a rubber band and hastily put her hair up into a knot that held loosely.

She continued over to her nightstand and grabbed a bag, full of makeup products she hardly used yet her mother insisted she get them, just in case one day she might choose to look more "ladylike" Mid-yawn she saw out of the corner of her eye, an owl approaching her window, speeding over she slid it open and reached out for the letter. The owl dropped it in her palm and flew into the distance, while Lily teared open the letter and read. It was from Mary Macdonald, one of her best friends from Hogwarts, a girl with light auburn hair and caramel skin.

The letter was short and simple, all it stated was that she had big news, which usually meant something to do with a boy. Mary was notorious for starting things with boys. Lily on the other hand didn't really care for boys as Mary did, she figured out that would be a waste of time when she met James Potter, the most annoying bloke in school. Other girls might've thought he was the "hottest" bloke in school but Lily could see past that very well.

She threw the letter on her bed and sighed, something about Potter angered her, and she wasn't the type to get angry easily. Walking into her bathroom she picked up her wand and kept a very tight grip on it, one day she'll hex the hell out of him she thought.

Lily put down the wand and picked up the eyeliner laying by the sink, creating a thin line on her eyes she looked in the mirror and quickly ran some mascara onto her eyelashes. That was really all she needed she thought, her mother would just have to bare it. She scoffed and walked out to get dressed before going to the kitchen where Petunia sat.

Petunia looked up from her book momentarily before rolling her eyes and going back to reading. Lily sighed and spoke softly, "Well, goodbye Tuney, I'm leaving now."

Petunia looked up, scowling, "Bye." She replied, quickly getting up and moving to the next room. Lily looked down and sighed again, this behavior had been coming from Petunia for so long now that Lily was used to the eyerolls, scoffing and scowling.

She walked back upstairs to grab her luggage and took it outside where her father was waiting by the car already. No surprise, her parents were already ready to take her to the platform, they never missed the chance to take her and say goodbye. She climbed into the car and looked at her house awaiting the new year.

Arriving at the platform and waving goodbye to her parents Lily stepped through the magical barrier leading to Platform 9 ¾. She gazed at the train in wonder and continued on through the crowd searching for her friends. Moments later she saw one girl who looked to be Marlene McKinnon, a tall hazel haired girl with astonishing blue-green eyes. Lily began to walk faster towards her before she slammed into an unfamiliar chest.

Looking up she saw James Potter and his friends, The Marauders standing behind him, "Better watch where you're goin' there Evans." He joked with his hands still clenching her wrist. She ripped her hands out of his grasp and narrowed her eyes,

"It was you who moved in front of me, Potter." James grinned and continued,

"Maybe, but it was you who went face first into me." He shrugged and the marauders (meaning Sirius) giggled, Lily rolled her eyes stepping to the side only to find James had stepped in front of her once again,

"Oh pardon me, Evans." He said with a slight smirk, Lily scowled and stepped to the side once more when James moved in front of her again. "Bloody hell, Potter!" She cried out pushing him out of the way and walked over to where Marlene was standing.

In the distance she could hear the Marauders sniggering and sighed. "Lily! How've you been?" Marlene exclaimed.

"Oh Merlin, we haven't seen each other since the last day of school! I've been alright though." Lily answered.

"I know, I know, we can catch up on the train but first we must find the others."Marlene claimed. Lily nodded and followed her into the train, disappearing in the crowd.

James

James watched Lily go by him and he laughed, "She gets angry so easily, I feel like I just need to smoke whenever I'm around her."

Most didn't know, seeing as he did it away from such prying eyes, but James Potter smoked, not a lot, but most would consider he had a bit of a problem. He never smoked out of leisure or anything of that sort, but he did under times of stress, or when he felt like it.

Of course he knew it was bad for him, but the Leader of the mischievous Marauders had a habit of never complying to the rules, especially when told to do so.

"She has a right to, you're a downright git to her most the time." Remus retorted, "She's nice to most."

"Oh lighten up, Moony, no harm done" Sirius insisted wrapping his arm around him. James bellowed in laughter, "She's too uptight, she doesn't have to be such a downer all the time."

"Let's just get on the train please, I'm hungry" Peter complained furrowing his eyebrows.

"Alright you rat, we'all get something to eat," James patted him on the back and added, "I hope there's plenty of chocolate frogs still." The Marauders sauntered off to the train and James pushed the subject of Lily Evans out of his mind, for now.

A/N: Really short chapter, I know, but it's only the first, and there's more to come hopefully. So this is how I plan to write this story, if you like it pleasseee leave a review! / Dogfur
