Disclaimer – I don't own harry potter because that is j.k. Rowling's characters and plots if I did I would be one rich crackhead but I sadly don't.

Author's note: This is my first fanfic and it will probably be my only but if people really like it a lot and review lots I might change my mind and make another one and also review if u like it because otherwise I will think no one is reading this so why waste my time and lastly I am sorry if it takes me really long to update chapters because I get really busy with school a lot but that is all so on with the story.

Chapter 1 – The beautiful girl that will never be yours

"Sirius, give it back!" James complained to his best friend as the train left the station.

"Is poor Jamsie-poo missing his picture of the lady of his dreams who rejects him every year?" sniggered Sirius.

James blushed a deep read and snatched for the picture, but Sirius was too quick for him and was off down the train hallway before James knew it. Jumping out of the compartment James raced behind his friend.

"Come on Sirius. What gives? Please give it back I have to be over to the prefect compartment in like 10 minutes. I don't have time for this," James pleaded to his laughing friend.

"And since when have you ever been on time little Jamsie-poo?" Sirius question with a sly grin slipping across his face.

"Well...erm...I am now head boy and I don't want to make lily angry with me she already hates me enough mate, "muttered James, blushing again.

Sirius sniggered again and handed over the photo of lily laying in the grass under a tree by the lake at Hogwarts, "Alright mate, I'll let you have it this but next I am giving you more of a chase. Now move along lover boy your duties are waiting, "Sirius teased as he handed over the photo and playfully shoved James down the hall towards the prefects compartment.

James saw Sirius disappear into a compartment as he continued down the hall to meet the girl he loved so much.

-------------------

Lily was chatting up with her mates that she hadn't seen all summer. They could not stop laughing as they exchanged stories about their crazy summers.

"Oh my god lily I cannot believe that you are head girl. Well I knew you would obviously be head girl but you know what I mean," said Michelle one of Lily's friends since first year.

"I am so proud of you lily!" said a grinning Becka, lily's other best friend since first year.

"I know I am so exciting!" lily couldn't help but grin she was with her two best friends in the whole wide world and she was on her way back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for her 7th and last year. She was in such high spirits that she thought nothing could ruin her day.

"I wonder who the head boy is going to be," pondered Becka

"Probably Remus Lupin. I hope it isn't that horrid James Potter. I cannot stand him," said lily.

"He isn't THAT bad lily. Why don't you just give him a chance lily?" asked Michelle as two people ran past their train compartment screaming about a photograph or something.

"Because he is a horrid arrogant prat. I cannot stand him!" she complained.

Just then Sirius's head popped in, "Hello ladies. How are you doing?" he asked. Michelle blushed a deep red.

"We are doing just fine but what I would like to ask you is what are doing in our compartment?" lily said staring daggers into him.

"I feel the pain," teased Sirius as he grabbed his well-built chest in mock pain and fell onto the seat next to Michelle who turned an even darker shade of red.

Lily glared at him.

"Come on I was only trying to have a little fun Evans. It was just so lonely with Peter, Remus and James. My heart just yearned for female company, "he said with pleaded puppy dogs eyes, making Michelle blush again.

"Give it up Black," she said.

Lily looked down at her watch and realized the time.

"Bloody Hell look at the time I am five minutes late for the meeting, "she said goodbye to her friends and fled out the door towards the prefect room.

"That woman has some temper," commented Sirius. "I don't think I have ever seen her be late for anything. This is surely a first."

The two other girls nodded dumbly.

-----------------

James sat down and looked around for lily. After about five minutes the meeting had started and lily still wasn't there. James got up to talk to the prefects.

"Yeah...erm... well I'm head boy and I have no idea where the head girl is but anyway if u need anything you can like come to me and ask me questions because I guess that is why I am here and –"he was cut off as a breathless lily running into the room.

"Hey Evans! A little late?" he joked.

Lily turned bright pink and glared at James as she joined him up in front on the prefects, "Sorry."

After Lily and James finished talking they went and sat down and Dumbledore rose from his seat, "As you all know Lily Evans and James Potter will be head boy and head girl this year. If you need help with anything you can just go to them. This year I will be giving the head boy and head girl a few more tasks than usual. I know it will be hard with the N.E.W.T.S. this year but I know that they are bright and can manage the tasks. If you have any more questions you can come to McGonagall or me. Have a good train ride. I will see you all at dinner." Dumbledore finished and left.

Everyone got up to leave.

Lily grabbed James' arm and pulled him aside, "You have to be joking. Me working with you? You are a stuck up, no good prat. I cannot stand you and I have to spend my whole seventh year with you? Where the bloody hell has this world gone to?" Lily spit out her words filled with anger and resentment.

James felt like he had just been stabbed in the heart with one million daggers and that he had died over and over again. Did she, lily, the love of his life, really hate him this much. He was so crazy about her but no life just had to turn on him. There was hurt in his eyes for a second and then it was gone. He wouldn't let her see him like this. He couldn't let her. Oh god what am I going to do?

"Sorry to disappoint you..." he trailed off and looked down at the floor.

Was this the James lily had known for 6 whole years? Was this the stuck up, good for nothing prat that would play jokes and tease her? No there was something new about him. She didn't know what yet but there was something new about him.

"I'm sorry James. I didn't mean it," Lily said meaning every word of it and wondering what had suddenly come over her.

Silence.

"Save your pity Evans," said James finally finding his voice. And then the moment was gone it was the same old stuck up James lily had known for years.

"You better not screw my year up Potter," she threatened. Then for the first time in lily's life she realized how hurt James looked by her comment but when she blinked all the hurt was gone. Had she really seen him care or was it all just a dream
