"Lily! Which hat do you like better?"
"How SHOULD I do my hair today, Lily?"
"Do you think these clothes are too last season Lily?"
Questions like these followed Lily Anne Evans through the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The rich yet kind redhead with a pretty heart shaped face and shimmering green eyes answered all of the girls' questions, and maybe even gave them a few tips too.
Lily and her best friend Cori, were easily the most popular girls in the boarding school. They were pretty, caring, and never ceased to stop helping others in need. Cori, whose real name was Cornelia ("Ugh! That makes me sound fifty years old!" she had said.), had black hair, brown eyes, and was very head strong. The two girls were close friends with two other Ravenclaws and another Gryffindor.
"So Lily, how DOES it feel to start yet another year still as popular as ever topped off with being a prefect?" Cori asked teasingly, knowing very well that she was asked just as many questions, if not more, by the girls who crowded around them everyday.
"Oh wonderful, apparently my Head position had not lowered the amount of admirers, rather increase them. And it still hasn't changed after a whole summer of relaxation." Lily responded dryly
Cori laughed, "Get used to it my friend, you'll be seeing a lot of it for the rest of the year. After all, how many girls have a Muggle brother who is a famous musician and a father who earns millions a month?"
Lily smiled jokingly. "Actually, 'my FRIEND' it's thousands a month, and millions every six months."
Cori laughed good-naturedly. "Come on, we've got to meet the gang for breakfast."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The 'gang' as it turned out, consisted of another pretty Gryffindor and two rather handsome Ravenclaw boys. Liz smirked at them as they approached.
"Well, well. . . if it isn't the two second most popular girls in Hogwarts!"
Cori raised an eyebrow. "And who, may I ask, is the first?"
"Me, of course!" replied the brown-haired and blue-eyed girl. Cori rolled her eyes.
"Hello ladies, how ARE you this fine morning?" asked Mark, a blonde-haired Ravenclaw boy who just happened to be included in their group, while motioning to the very dark and cloudy sky outside.
"Smooth Mark. . .very smooth. Girls will get in line to meet you after this." Lily said sarcastically
"Really?" he said excitedly "I've been working on the line all night!" Lily sighed exasperatedly and Cori put her head into in arms, muttering about the idiocy of guys who have absolutely no brains.
Not noticing this, Mark continued blabbering. "Tell me, should my hands be at my sides while I'm talking, or should they be in my pockets? But then that wouldn't look like you aren't putting effort into it, huh? OH! Maybe I should-"
"You'd better shut him up now if you don't want three hours worth of questions and complaining about the female gender, girls. Trust me, I already did. . . and it wasn't what you'd call fascinating." came a familiar voice. They all looked up to see Matt, a brown-haired lad who was also a Ravenclaw and finished the gang.
"Matt! Our savior! What ever can we do to repay you?" Liz cried exaggeratedly while Mark scowled.
"Well you could do my homework for me, clean the dorm, let me use your quills. . . " He started ticking off his fingers. "Clean out the bathroom. . ."
"We get the point." Cori interrupted
"Well, we've gotta go to our own table now, see you boys later!" Lily said after checking her watch.
As they walked towards their destination, a group of four boys walked past them, crowded around them were giggling girls of all houses.
Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and James Potter were as popular as Lily and Cori, but in a totally different way. While the two girls were dresses fashionably, in the most recent Paris and London styles, (very expensive of course) James Potter was a jock, played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and always dated girls without a drop of intelligence in their tiny brains. Sirius and Remus were just as popular, though they didn't play Quidditch, Sirius being the cute but annoying smart- ass and Remus-the nice but equally as mischievous as Sirius and James-guy. Peter referred to as a quiet and not so bright student, but loved all the same. (A/n: I know you guys hate him, and usually put him as the fat, and disliked boy; but REALLY, how could they ever even trust him to be the Potter's secret keeper then?)
James had strange black hair that always stuck up, brown eyes, and adorned round spectacles; while Sirius had blonde-brown hair, blue eyes, and a smirk always constant on his face. Remus, on the other hand, was sandy- haired with hazel colored eyes, and Peter, the last of the group, was thin and short while the others were tall. He had pale hair, and watery blue- black eyes.
Because both Lily's group and James' group were like by most everyone, most people naturally assumed they hung out together. Only the people themselves understood the reason why they didn't and never planned to in the future.
James and Lily were in two different leagues, worlds, even. Lily was rich, smart, and had a loving family. James' family wasn't that close, didn't have much money, and the only way James could survive the Wizarding world once he finished at Hogwarts was through his excellent Quidditch skills and Transfiguration marks.
Both knew that they stood on opposite sides of the river, and it would stay that way forever.

"Ms. Evans, I appreciate what you're doing very much, and so does your student, I'm sure." Dumbledor rested his hands on his desk and looked at her with kind eyes. He had just asked Lily to tutor someone in Charms, Muggle Studies, and Potions since she had top marks in every single subject. The mysterious student Lily was going to tutor apparently needed help in those three areas, and Lily accepted without hesitation.
"You may come in, now." the Headmaster called towards the door. Eager to see whom she was going to teach for the rest of the year, Lily spun around to face the two big double doors.
There in the doorway, stood James Potter, Hogwarts' Qudditch Hero.
A/n: This is basically a thing that just popped into my mind why on a writers block and while I had much free time because my computer broke down. Let me know what you think!
