Something Just Happens, 1
A Lily / James Saga
[Note: This story is very long, and trust me, it's BEAUTIFUL! The plot is unusual and really nice. You'll love it! Disclaimer: Some of the characters belong to me, the plot line belongs to the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, with adaptations by me. This story is not related to the Lily+MWPP=Forever series.]

James Potter slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked down the stairs to the Great Hall. All the girls whom he passed gaped at him, wide eyed. James was certainly a cute sixth year, what with that wonderful messy hair, merry brown eyes, glasses, and a tall, muscular build. To top it all, he was on the Quidditch team, and was really smart, besides being a troublemaker. But the girls were worried that James was taken, status wise. This wasn't true, though. James' best girl friend, not girlfriend, was Lily Evans, a tall, red haired, green eyed Gryffindor sixth year. They were just good friends, but nothing more than that. The rest of the girls didn't think it was technically possible to be "just friends", but that didn't stop them from drooling over him.

Lily Evans, meanwhile, was at the breakfast table, wondering where James was. She was faintly aware of Sirius Black laughing loudly at Snape, the gang's archenemy. She saw James entering the hall, and waved him over. She heard Melanie Souchere groaning behind her. "She always flirts with him, doesn't she? Can't James see I'm perfect for him?" Lily giggled. Melanie was a pretty girl who had this thing for James. She was one of the people who thought Lily and James were together. Lily sighed. Today was Valentine's Day. Oh no, she thought, feeling a moan escaping her body. At the same time, James slipped into the seat beside her. "Hey, what's so bad?" he asked, jokingly. "Nothing . . . except the fact that it is Valentine's day!" she replied, shutting her eyes tightly. "Exactly", said James. "What's so bad about that? In fact, I came prepared," he finished off, pulling out a bunch of decorative pink and red cards with hearts all over them. Lily groaned. What a great day.
"Do you like them?" said James later. "I spent all night on them, and the first one goes to you!" he added, giving her a pink card with a flourish. "Thanks James," she said, gritting her teeth. "It's wonderful!" She knew almost every sane girl in Hogwarts wanted a card from James. In fact, any part of him would do. A ripped piece of robe . . . the plate he ate from . . . anything they could get their hands on.

Later that afternoon, as Lily trudged down the Charms corridor to the Great Hall for lunch, she heard some giggling sounds behind the staircase. She went forward, to inspect the scene. Her worst fears were confirmed. James had his arms around Cindy Pierre, another "fluffy" girl. She groaned. Does James have to be so flirtatious? She caught the gist of their conversation. "You know, Cindy, you're the first person I've given a card to," he was saying. "Really, James?" Cindy was giggling. "Oh James . . . I can't believe it! Is this really happening, James?" "Of course it is, Britney," he replied. Cindy started. "My name is Cindy, not Britney!" she said, a little angrily. "Oh, sorry, Cindy, you're so pretty that you've enchanted me . . . sorry!" he replied. Again, Cindy melted.
Lily decided that she had had enough of this conversation. James was fooling Cindy into believing that she was the lucky girl for him, while in fact, he had made like twenty cards for other girls. She spotted James' bag near her, and with a mischievous grin, she opened it. She found exactly what she was looking for. A bunch of red and pink cards. With a twinkle in her eye, she moved forward.
"Uh James, I hate to interrupt this, but I founda couple of your cards lying around here." she said. Cindy stared, and slowly turned red. "James . . . you - you cheater! I can't believe the nerve of you!" she yelled, running away. James called after her, "But wait - Britney, no wait, Sophia, no was it Britney?" he yelled. "It was Cindy," Lily answered helpfully, with a smile. This time, James groaned.

"Hi Professor Chernon!" Lily said, smiling at the round, balding professor of Care of Magical Creatures. She had always liked Professor Chernon, even though some people thought he was an old idiot. "You look very happy today. Anything special?" she asked. "Do you mean that I don't look happy everyday?" Professor Chernon replied, pretending to be offended. Both of them laughed. "Actually, Lily, my daughter Sarah is arriving today. She's been studying in Ireland, and now she's transferred here. She's going to be in sixth year, same as you." "Wow, Professor Chernon! I never knew you had a daughter of our age! That'll be fun!" she said. "Yes, I'm sure it will . . ." he replied. "Lily, you'll look after Sarah for me, will you?" he asked. "Sure, Professor. I'd be glad to!" she replied, wondering what Sarah would be like.

Sarah was due to arrive in two days time, and the school had been told about her. She would be sorted during breakfast. That's tomorrow, Lily thought to herself. She ran and caught up with James, who had lost in another flirting game, this time with Helen Gorga. "So, was that one any good?" she asked, cheerfuly. "Nope," James replied, looking very dejected. Then he cheered up. "She's not my type!" he said. "But James," Lily started, "if you keep thinking the same about every girl you meet, you'll never find anyone for you!" "Yeah, well, the perfect girl's probably waiting for me, somewhere," he mumbled out.
"Yeah, right," Lily rolled her eyes. "Tell me, James, what would you do if you found the perfect girl? I mean, how would it feel when you stand in front of her?" "Well," said James, after thinking for a minute. "Something will happen in my heart." "What will happen?" Lily asked. "Oh Lily," he said, "some thing just happens. But you don't understand."
