Disclamer- I own Melissa and the plot. Every thing else belongs to J.K Rowling.
MuCh thanks to- my beta reader Melissa and my muse...::stares at wall::

"No, not Harry! Please, not Harry! Take me!"
I awoke with a start. Every night since my second year at Hogwarts I've been having nightmares.
"Ughh," I said as I stuffed my head under the pillow and tried to get back to sleep.
"Who the heck is Harry?" I thought as I drifted into subconciousness.
*--(*)--*
"Lily, wake up," was said by my best friend Melissa,"Come on, Lil!"
"Mufihe," I replied.
"Huh?" she said, clearly confused.
I took my head out of the pillow and said "I'm coming..."
"Good, because if you don't hurry we'll miss breakfast and then you would have to miss your lover boy Jamsie-poo," she said right before she ran out the door.
"I DO NOT LIKE JAMES POTTER!" I screamed, running down the stairs after her.
When we entered the great hall, Melissa spotted Sirius Black.
Sirius was James' best friend and Melissa's boyfriend."Where ever Sirius is, James is," I thought as I walked the other way.
I walk over to the Bulletin board:
QUIDDITCH TRY-OUTS TODAY
"Hmm, maybe I'll try out," I said to myself.
"Evans, we need players, not cheerleaders!"came a familiar annoying voice. "Althought I wouldn't say no to you in a short skirt jumping around and screaming 'Go Potter'!"
"Yeah, Go Potter!" I said "GO AWAY!"
That's it, I'm going to do it. I'm trying out.
When the day for try outs came along, I grabbed my broom and put on my Quidditch robes. They were kind of snug, but they would have to do. I practically flew to the field.
"I'm early," I said, shaking my head. "Figures."
"Well well, Evans decided to show up," James Potter said.
He looked me up and down then smirked. "It's not a short skirt, but it will do," he said
"Shove it, Potter," I said, blushing.
One by one more people showed up. First years to seventh years. The crowd started to get big. The only other fifth years were James and Sirus. I guess I'll just stick with them.
"Hey Lily, What are you trying out for?" Sirius said as I approached them.
"Oh, I'm trying out for Chaser," I said."What about you?"
"I don't need to try out," was Sirus's proud response. "I'm already on the team, but we need another chaser, so good luck."
"Thanks," I said.
*--(*)--*
After a long hard practice, all I wanted to do was relax.
"I could really go for a butterbeer right now," I said to myself.
"That could be arranged," James said from out of nowhere.
"What do you mean?" I said. "We can't go to Hogsmeade."
"Poor Innocent Lily..." James said."Apparently you have doubts about Sirius and I."
"Yes, I do."
Sirius and James literally dragged me into school.They came to a tall painting. James leaned foward and muttered something. The painting swung aside.They pulled me into a dirty passageway that seemed to go on forever. My feet were killing me when we finally saw light. James jumped up first and then Sirius. I couldn't get up, being that I was quite short.
"Dont worry, Lady Lily," Sirus said in a fake accent.
He extended his hands and pulled me up.
We were in the Basement of Zonko's Joke Shop.
"Oh my gosh!" I said, totally amazed. "How did you find out about this?"
James just smiled sneakily.
I never noticed how cute he was when he smiled.
I mentally slapped myself. This is JAMES POTTER. I can't think of him like that. Ugh.
"Come on, m'lady,"James said, knocking me out of my thoughts. He extended his arm to me. I took it and we skipped away.
"Boy, Prongs has got it bad," Sirius said as soon as we were out of ear shot.
