2 Chapter One – James and Lily Potter
'Hey, watch it!'
'Oooh! Sorry Lillllllly. It was an accident!' Lily muttered under her breath and then continued to walk down the corridor rubbing her bruised shoulder.
'I HATE him!' she said angrily.
'Come on, Lil' – it was an accident,' said Terra smiling.
'Yeah, why are you so hard on him?' asked Fiona on Lily's other side.
Lily muttered something and frowned. 'Well, because…' she started. Fiona and Terra smiled at each other over Lily and tried not to laugh. Lily never had a good excuse for hating James.
'Because…he's always doing stuff like that…'
'What…like bumping into you by accident?' asked Fiona smiling.
Lily flicked her hair and tried to cover the blush on her face. 'Well anyway, we'd better hurry up or we're going to be late for charms.'
Lily walked on ahead quickly. Fiona and Terra hung back slightly. 'It's weird isn't it, Fi.'
'What?'
'How they're sooo perfect for each other.'
Fiona looked at her in astonishment. 'Ok, explain to me how they're perfect for each other? THEY HATE EACH OTHER! God knows why, though.'
'Exactly!'
Fiona looked puzzled.
'They both SAY they hate each other, but neither have good reasons for it! Anyway, they're both head boy and girl…'
'Really! Does Lil' know yet?'
Terra laughed. 'No, can't wait till I see her face when she finds out, though! Anyway, head boy and girl, both love charms and D.A.D.A, both love quidditch… I could go on and on…'
Fiona cocked her head in thought. 'Actually, now that I think about it, I suppose they are kinda perfect for each other.'
'Perfect,' nodded Terra in definite agreement. 'Pity they don't know it…'
* * *
'Welcome to today's lesson, class,' said Professor Flitwick cheerfully (A/N: yeah, Flitwick's still there!).
Lily sat up in her chair. She loved charms.
'Today we're going to learn the Faboidus Charm. This warns off unwanted people. Not necessarily evil people or dangerous animals, just anyone who won't leave you alone.'
Lily grinned and leaned over to Terra. 'Perfect,' she whispered. 'I'll never have to go near James again.' Terra sighed and shook her head, but laughed all the same.
'You can do this in pairs. And since it's your first day of school, I'll let you choose who to go with.'
'I'm with you, yeah?' Lily asked Terra. 'Sorry Lil'. I already promised Fi.'
Lily sighed. 'Guess I'm stuck with Annabel then.'
'Hey, she's quite nice once you get to know her!' Terra said defensively about the bouncy hufflepuff girl. 'Anyway, looks as if she's going with Claire instead.'
Lily looked over in dismay. 'Oh…hey, it looks as if everyone's already teamed up. Who am I gonna work with?' she said as Fiona came over.
'Looks like James hasn't got a partner either,' she said pointing over at the other side of the room. Lily looked over. It seemed as if James knew she was the only one left as well. He looked like he was desperately trying to get one of the marauders to go with him. Fiona and Terra smiled at each other as Lily looked away. Perfect, they both thought.
'James?' Lily whined. 'Please tell me your joking! Please…I'll give you both a fiver if one of you will go with him!'
Fiona stifled a smile. 'Sorry Lil'. Anyway, it'll give you a chance to get to know him better. After all, you being head boy and girl and everything, you'll be working together a lot.'
Lily winced. 'Gee, thanks for reminding me.' She groaned and picked her books up as she walked over to James cautiously. 'Hi,' she muttered.
'Why hello! Nice to see you!' James said in mock-enthusiasm. 'Let's get this over with…' James sat down at an empty desk and Lily sat down next to him.
Flitwick began explaining the charm to everyone. James tried it out on Lily and every time Lily tried to reach out and touch him, she got an electric shock. James grinned. 'Hallelujah,' he muttered. Lily smiled sarcastically.
'Your spell isn't THAT great,' she said.
'Go on then, try and break it,' challenged James. Lily tried to walk up to him, but there seemed to be some sort of force field around him. James laughed.
Lily frowned. She pushed as hard as she could to try and get to him, but couldn't. Still the force field was strong.
James grinned. 'See, perfect spell.'
Lily fell through the force field and pushed James onto the ground, falling on top of him. They looked at each other for a moment. Then Lily noticed everyone staring and jumped up quickly, brushing herself down. 'See?' she said trying to ignore the stared and smiled. 'Not so perfect, Potter.'
James was red. He got up and didn't say anything.
Across the other side of the room Fiona and Terra grinned.

The marauders, Lily, Terra and Fiona, were sitting in the common room bored. It was Saturday night and it was raining. They had actually FINISHED all of their homework, and there was nothing to do.
'Bored,' said Sirius loudly.
Terra frowned at him. 'Yeah. We feel it too.'
'What shall we do?' moaned Remus.
'Well, I'm going to bed,' announced Lily, standing up.
Fiona looked at her watch. 'Lil',' she started. 'It's only 7:30.'
'I know,' said Lily. 'But there's nothing else to do, is there? Might as well catch up on my sleep.'
James stood up. 'Good idea,' he said.
Sirius grinned. 'Is Lily's bed big enough for the both of you?' he teased.
James threw a pillow at him and Lily shouted, 'Shut up! You would have to pay me A LOT of money to sleep with him!'
'How much?' asked Sirius innocently. Terra laughed. Lily threw another pillow at him.
'Night all,' she said walking up to her dormitory.
'Yeah, see you all tomorrow.' James walked up the steps to his dormitory.
Fiona and Terra grinned at each other.
'What?' Sirius and Remus looked at them strangely. (A/N: Peter IS in this, I just won't be mentioning him much for obvious reasons that I HATE HIM!!! grr…).
'What's so funny?' asked Sirius again.
Terra glanced at Fiona and then turned to Sirius. 'Have you noticed how James and Lily…'
Sirius grinned. 'Are so perfect for each other?' He laughed. 'Yeah, we know.'
'Why do they hate each other so much?' asked Sirius.
'I don't know. Whenever we ask Lily, she just mutters some stupid excuse then changes the subject.'
'Yeah, it's the same with James,' said Sirius.
Fiona laughed. 'Well, whatever their problem is, they certainly looked like a cute couple in charms the other day!'
Sirius grinned. 'They did, didn't they?' Sirius looked at Remus, he hadn't spoken for a while.
Remus was smiling too himself.
'Uh, Remus?' said Peter. 'What's funny?'
'We sooo have to make them fall in love.'
'Well, yeah we have to set them up, they're meant for each other, obviously, but what's so funny?' asked Terra.
'I never thought about it before: James and Lily Potter…'
A/N: so? What do you think then? I hope
this story line isn't too clichéd, but I
felt like having a go at it. Besides, if
everyone else can do it, why can't I!
Now, I need ur help, wot do u think
the play shood b? shall I just make it
up myself, shood I make the characters
make it up, or shall I just do a famous
one like Romeo and Juliet? HELP!!!
Please tell me in ur R&Rs. Thanx.
