Chapter One

Friends before Rivals

Eleven-year-old James potter walked briskly onto the platform pushing his heavy cart. For years he had watched his brothers and sisters leave for Hogwarts. Now it was finally his turn! His parents would have seen him off, but they were busy. They had important duties as King and Queen of France. He sighed and heaved his trunk onto the train.

James found an empty compartment and dragged his heavy trunk into it. James plopped down on the seat closest to the window. A few seconds later the door opened and a girl stood there. She had gorgeous green ayes that sparkled like emeralds, and long red hair that fell gracefully her back. (A/N: Lily Evans perhaps…he he he!)

"Is anyone sitting here?" she asked.

James opened his mouth but no sound came out. 'Great' James thought bitterly 'now she thinks I'm an idiot.' At that thought he closed his mouth quickly and shook his head violently.

The girl laughed. "I'm Lily by the way, Lily Evans."

"Erm…James…Potter…"

They sat there in silence until the train started moving. "Well this is awkward…" James muttered.

Lily laughed but didn't say anything.

"Right…" James started rummaging thorough his trunk and pulled out a blue and black guitar.

"Wow!" Lily muttered. "Can you play something?" she asked hopefully.

"Sure" James said then he started playing.

Someday I'm gonna be famous

I have talent…well...no…

These days you don't really need it

Thanks to reality shows

Can't wait to date a supermodel

Can't wait to sue my dad

Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari

On my way to Rehab

Cuz when you're a celebrity

It's adios reality

You can act just like a fool

But people think you're cool

Just cuz your on T.V.

I can throw a major fit

When my laitie isn't just how I like it

When they say I've gone insane

I'll blame it on the fame

The pressures that go with

Bein' a celebrity

I get to cry to Barbra Waters

When things don't go my way

I'll get community service

No matter which law I break

I'll make the supermarket tabloids

They'll write some awful stuff

But the more they run my name down

The more my price goes up

Cuz when you're a celebrity

It's adios Reality

No matter what you do

People think you're cool

Just cuz your on T.V.

I can fall in and outa love

Have marriages that barely last a month

When they go down the Drain

I'll blame it on the fame

'N' say it's just so tough

Bein a celebrity

So lets hitch up the wagon

And head out west

To the land of fun and sun

We'll be real world bachelors

Jackass millionaires

Hey-hey Hollywood

Here we come

Cuz when you're a celebrity

It's adios reality

No matter what you do

People think you're cool

Just cuz you're on T.V.

Bein a Celebirty

Yeah celebrity

James stopped and looked at Lily.

Lily, wide-eyed and gaping, just stared at him.

Suddenly the compartment door swung open and three boys stood there.

"Do you mind if we sit here?"

A/N: ooooh! Cliffie!

Next chapter: Ancient Rivals!

Betcha can't guess who was at the door! Hehehe!
