A/N: ZOMG!!! I just got an idea for a story!!!!! It's actually really funny… I was reading this other story, and BAM! It came to me! It doesn't really have that much to do with my story, but whatever!! Well the story I was reading was one of those diary stories…you know… and then this idea came to my head!! It does have something to do with a diary… but it's nothing like the story I was reading, so I'm not stealing anyone's idea! Well, I don't even know what I'm going to write, but I just felt the need to write this story!!! And I know I haven't written anything for my other two stories, and I should be working on those…but like I said, I just felt this story needed to be written!! So on with the story!!! Pleas read and review!!!!! Oh! This is a Lily/James fic, by the way!!! Enjoy!!!!
Chapter One: The Notebook(James' POV)
I was pacing my bedroom, my best friend, Sirius Black, lying on my bed looking at some muggle porn magazine, not really paying attention to the problem at hand.
"What am I going to do?" I said. Sirius still did not look up. "This is our last year… MY last year to make her fall in love with me!" The 'her' I was referring to was of course Lily Evens.
Who is Lily Evens, you may ask. Well she is the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth. Not only that, she's smart, funny, brave and… just amazing! And perfect! And I am totally and completely in love with her. This all sounds great, right? Well there's just one little problem… she hates my guts.
"There has to be some way I can get her to like me! Come on Padfoot help me out! There's got to be some form of a brain in that head of yours." I said.
Finally he looked up, "Hey! I'm plenty smart!" Then he went back to his magazine. "You know, maybe she does like you, but she's too afraid to admit it, so she's always mean to you so you think that she doesn't like you, when in reality, she loves you." He said nonchalantly.
I ran my hand through my messy black hair and opened my mouth to reply when I stopped, letting the words he said really sink in. "Wait… what?"
Sirius sighed, throwing the magazine on the floor. "Girls are weird like that. Take Lily Evans, for example. She's the perfect little girl, top marks in every class, prefect, most likely Head Girl this year, never breaks the rules… the list goes on. Now what would happen to this 'perfect little girl'" Sirius used air quotes "if she started going out with James Potter? Sure he's smart and gets just as good grades as Lily, but he's also an arrogant, trouble making, prankster who almost never follows the rules."
"So… what are you saying?" I asked again, sounding stupid.
"What I'm saying is, she's afraid to love you because you are so different. She's afraid that everything will be ruined if she admits that she might like you. You confuse her so much that she takes everything out on you! Have you noticed that whenever Wormtail, or Moony or I do a prank, that you had no part in, she bites your head off? It's because she doesn't no what to think!" Everything he was saying was completely true, and I hadn't realized until that moment. "You've just got to crack her, make her realize that you aren't that bad. Maybe be a little more mature, or… I don't know, stop asking her out ever five seconds!" I nodded, he was right about everything.
I smiled at him. "How do you know all of this?"
"Believe me, I've had plenty experience with the minds of teenage girls…" he said, shaking his head. I nodded, having heard all of the stories of him and his various girlfriends.
"But how can I be absolutely, 100 sure that she likes me?" I started pacing again.
"Well, maybe she has a diary, you could try stealing it and reading it." Sirius said.
"Didn't we just say that I have to me more mature? Snooping through her stuff isn't going to make he like me very much."
I walked past my desk, and noticed two notebooks sitting there with my wand on top of them. I walked over to them and picked up my wand looked at it. Suddenly an idea came to my head.
"What if I put a spell on these notebooks, so that whatever's written in one will also appear in the other. I could give one of them to Lily… tell her it's from Moony, congratulating her on getting Head Girl, and keep the other, so I can see what she's writing!" I turned to look at Sirius.
"Isn't that what I just suggested, only without the stealing part?"
"Well, yeah but we won't be stealing anything! Come on, Pads! Help me out!!"
He got up, and walked over to where I was standing "Well, it is a good idea… and you do really seem to love her… okay! I'll help!!" A minute ago, he sound all grown up with what he was saying about the way girls think, but now he was back to his old self again, thank God!
(Lily's POV)
I can't believe it! Me, Lily Evans, Head Girl at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? This is amazing! I can't wait to tell everyone!
I just got my Hogwarts letter, I can't believe I'm starting my last year at school in a week! And on top of that, I'm Head Girl! I've always wanted to be head girl!
Okay, so I didn't really read my letter yet, I was so excited just looking at my badge! I pulled out the first letter, quickly reading it to see what books I would need for this year. There was also another letter. I read it slowly, seeing as it was from Professor Dumbledore.
Dear Miss EvansI am very pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to be this year's Head Girl. Congratulations!
As you may know, you will now be in charge of many things, such as Hogsmeade trips, prefect duties and the end of year graduation ball for the 7th year students. You shall work along side with the Head Boy to complete these tasks on top of completing your schoolwork.
I am looking forward to another splendid year at Hogwarts with you as Head Girl. Good luck, Miss Evans, and I will see you on the first of September.
Yours Truly,
Albus Dumbledore
P.S. By the way, I am also pleased to inform you that your Head Boy is none other than James Potter.
What. The. FUCK?!?!?! This has got to be some kind of sick joke! And if it is, this is NOT FUNNY!!!
James Potter? THE James Potter… is HEAD BOY!! Oh no, this is not happening to me! This year was supposed to be perfect! Me as Head Girl, free to give Potter as many detentions as I want.
No, this has got to be a mistake, one huge mistake! I'll just talk to Professor Dumbledore at the feast… yes that is what I will do! No need to make Potter ruin the rest of the summer.
Another owl flew through my window at that point. I recognized it to be the owl of Remus Lupin. He's a marauder (that stupid little group of friends that Potter has with Black and that weird short kid that follows them around) too, but he's actually very nice. I met started becoming friends with him in 5th year, we were prefects together, so we started talking, and now we're actually very good friends!
I took the package off the owl's leg, and he flew around to land on my desk. I opened the package and saw a purple notebook, almost like a journal or diary. There was also I note from Remus.
Dear Lily,
Congratulations on making Head Girl! You might be wondering how I know, well, James told me. You probably already know that he's Head Boy. Don't worry though, he's really not that bad, and I'll try to keep him from torturing you. But I know that you would be an amazing Head Girl, no matter who Head Boy is.
Well, I thought I should give you a congratulations gift, cause I'm you're friend. Sorry it's not that great or anything, just a regular muggle notebook. But I charmed it so it has unlimited pages, and it won't open without a password (you get to chose what it is). Writing might take some of the stress of all that you have to do this year, I know it helps me.
Well congrats again! Can't wait to see you! Bye!
Your Friend
Remus
This letter made me smile, Remus is so sweet! And it doesn't matter what the gift is, it's the thought that counts to me. Besides I agree that writing might calm me a bit. So the gift made me very happy!
I picked up the notebook, and tried to open it. "Password?" It said.
I jumped a little when it spoke, but said, "Do I just say what I want it to be?"
"Yes." The notebook replied.
"Ok…" I thought for a second, "I think I'll make the password, 'I Hate James Potter'" I smirked as the book opened. And started writing my first entry…
A/N: Yay! I hope you all liked it!!! I'm going to try to write more soon! Please review!! Even if you don't like it, please tell me why, or something… anything!!! Well thanks for reading!!!
