Chapter One; Annoying Potters

Lily sighed. She looked at her watch. 1:04 in the morning.

For some reason, Lily couldn't sleep.

No, there was a reason for why she couldn't sleep.

Lily couldn't get a certain Potter out of her head.

He had been bugging her all week, every where she turned, Potter seemed to be there. Every time she went to the library to read, he would be leaning on a bookshelf nearby or sat at the next table.

When ever she sat down in her lessons he would try to sit near her.

Not to mention Quidditch matches, he always seemed more interested in calling her name or asking her to go out with him, than actually keeping his eye than what he was meant to be doing in the game.

Lily looked at her watch again. 1:12.

She sighed again, Lily might as she try to get some sleep. She closed her eyes until she fell into a uneasy sleep.

When Lily woke the next morning, she felt tired and groggy.

She got up, dressed, fixed her hair with a flick of her wand and went down to the great hall for breakfast.

'Why hello Evans! Fancy seeing you here!' Lily looked up to see James Potter looking down at her.

'What do you want Potter?' replied Lily, coldly.

'Not a morning person eh, Evans? But since you're asking, would you like to go-'

'No' Lily said, bluntly. There was no way she would ever date James Potter. Not in a million years.

'But, why ever not?' he said, looking a little hurt.

'Because you're arrogant, big headed and I don't like you, now go away'

Defeated, James turned around and went back to his friends, at the other end of the table.

'You're not still trying to get Evans to go out with you, are you Prongs? I've told you, that's a dead case, mate' stated Sirius, as James got back to his friends.

'Um, Padfoot, I don't think you're helping' said Remus, as he elbowed Sirius in the ribs for his remark.

'OW!'

'Guys, focus!' yelled James, who was starting to get annoyed with his friends' squabbling. 'Look, I think I can at least get Evans to give me a chance if I can just make her see that I'm not as big headed as she thinks I am'

'Sooo, how exactly do plan to do that Prongs?'

'Shut up Padfoot!'

It was coming to the end of the day. Lily had just spent the last two hours with Potter because of head girl duties.

It had been very tiring and all Lily wanted to now was to fall onto her bed and sleep. She and James had just got back to the Gryffindor common room, and he was having a go at her for taking points by students that they had caught earlier that evening.

'Matthews and Johnson sneaking down to the kitchens, it was no reason to take points!'

'They shouldn't have been out past curfew in the first place, Potter! Why else would I take points?'

'And not to mention Simons and Jones, all they were doing was sitting in a classroom talking!'

'You mean we only saw them talking! I know they didn't go to an empty classroom to just talk!'

'Oh come on, everyone has gone to an empty classroom with someone at least once in their lives!'

'So you're saying because everyone does it that makes it okay?'

'Don't tell me you've never gone somewhere with someone past curfew!'

'No, I haven't'

'If you I could change that-'

'Shut up Potter! I'm going to bed'

'Good night, Lily-flower!'

Lily shot him a cold glare before she climbed the staircase to the girls' dormitories. James watched as she went up before he went up to his own dormitory. When he got in Sirius and Remus were still awake. Peter was sleeping soundly in his bed, snoring loudly.

'So Prongsie, had the night with the lovely Evans go!' cried Sirius cheerfully as James came in.

'Terrible. We spent the entire evening arguing about taking points!'

'Bad luck Prongs, but don't say I didn't warn you, it always was a hopeless case'

'Every time I get the chance to try and win her over, I only make it worse!'

It then that Remus decided to speak up. 'Prongs maybe you try to make her see how much you care about her, instead of trying to get her to see that you're not as bad as she thinks you are'

James smiled at Remus 'You see Padfoot, this what a true friend is. Someone who tries to help get a solution to my problems instead of telling me that its a hopeless case!'

'Jeez, I was only trying to help, but now you mention it, you're right'

'Yes I know I'm right'

'Of course you are, we should help you fix your problems, I mean you've got enough of them'

'Thank- wait, what do mean I've got problems?!'

'Hey don't blame me! you're the one who said you have problems!'

'Goodnight guys' Remus smiled to himself as he settled to sleep, why the other two continued arguing. Some things never change he thought. That was his last thought as drifted off to sleep.
