Lily Evens paced impatiently along platform 9 ¾, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Hogwarts Express. Her long red hair was pulled into a side ponytail and her emerald green eyes sparkled happily as she spotted her best friend Alice Monafoe hurrying toward her. Lily grinned and held open her arms for a hug, which Alice gladly accepted.
"Oh My Gosh! I haven't seen you all summer! I missed you soooo much! How was your summer? What did ya do? Did ya get my owls?" Alice cried in one breath.
"I know! Same! Great! And if you mean the ten owls-than yes." Lily answered expertly.
"Hi Lily." A deep voice interrupted quietly. Lily spun around crashing into James Potter. Lily was very clumsy and immediately toppled over. James grinned the grin that made most girls faint. Lily just blushed at her clumsiness and took James's offered hand to get up.
"Sorry." She muttered.
"How was your summer?" James asked.
"It was fine."
"Oh."
The awkward conversation was interrupted by the screech of a train. Lily turned away from James and hurried on with Alice. James watched them go and sighed sadly.
"Its ok mate, she'll come around eventually." James best friend, Sirius Black told him.
"I just don't get it!" James complained as they found a compartment with Remus and Peter.
"Me neither! All the other girls would kill for you to be in love with them, but-not her." Peter agreed.
"She's just different." Remus added.
"She hates me!" James moaned.
"Unfortunately, you don't give her much of a reason to like you." Remus continued, referring to the sad fact that Lily usually saw James when he was being especially self-centered.
"Well… I know what might cheer you up!" Sirius said.
"What?"
Sirius began to explain a great first day prank when James interrupted.
"No."
"WHAT?"
"No, it'll give Lily another reason to hate me." James explained.
"Love!" muttered Sirius.
"Ugh!" moaned Lily. Alice and their other friend, Mary shared a look. One that recently meant, James Potter.
"Just-admit you like each other and get over it!" Mary cried.
"Ok, one, he doesn't like me.
And two, I most certainly absolutely do NOT like James Potter! In fact, I probably hate him"
