Chapter 1 - Theory Lessons

Lily Evans woke up, took a shower and got dressed for the day. She walked down to the great hall

and sat herself beside her fellow Gryffindors Elisse and Miley.

"Morning sleepyhead" Miley greeted her with, while grabbing a slice of toast.

Lily stuffled a yawn and began pouring herself a glass of juice. Looking around, Lily took note of

four boys walking into the great hall. She sighed, the marauders, the group destined to annoy her, everyday of her life, especially James Potter.

"Morning Evans, Nice sleep?" James said while making his way up behind her.

"Yep, pity i had to wake up to your face though." Lily said acting as though this was something that was said in an everyday conversation.

James frowned. " You'll learn to love it. Anyway, reason im here is, Dumbledore gave me the password to the heads common room. He said to give it to you." He bent down and whispered in her ear. "It's Hippogriff"

"Ok thanks, but why did he tell you? couldn't he have just told Remus? seeing as though you are around each other practically 24/7." She asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

"Why would he want to tell Remus?" James asked.

"Uh, because he's head boy.. right?" She asked, her voice sounding a little worried.

"Well, for once in her life Evans is wrong. Sorry to disappoint you my love, but it'll be me who is sharing the common room with you." He smirked.

Lily almost choked on the bit of juice she was swallowing.

"WHAT? your kidding right? how? why? huh?" Lily was lost for words, she was living a nightmare.

"No Jokes, Dumbledore must think im a responsible person. Maybe you should try and think that too?"

"Urgh. He's off his head." And with that Lily picked up her bag and walked out of the hall, followed by Elisse and Miley.

"Think she was a little pissed off?" James asked, turning to Sirius.

"Nar, i think she handled the news pretty well." Sirius sarcasticly answered.

- The Common Room -

Lily was in the common room working on her homework and discussing the James problem for the fifth time that day.

" Lily, maybe sharing a common room with James won't be so bad." Elisse said for what she thought was the hundreth time.

Lily laughed. "You're joking right? this is James Potter, annoying, selfish, cocky, James Potter. I swear, if he asks me out one more time, i'll go crazy"

"You just reminded me, i haven't asked you today." James said, creeping up behind her.

Lily jumped.

"Oh great. well i'll give you my answer in advance, no." Lily snarled.

"How about a maybe?" James pleaded.

Lily just rolled her eyes.

"No" She stated simply.

James walked away shaking his head with Sirius at his heels. Lily couldn't believe how James could keep asking everyday, knowing exactly what the answer would be. He confused Lily, and that's what annoyed her most, one moment he could be the sweetest guy, the next, an idiot.

"What essay are you doing?" Remus asked, causing Lily to turn her head quickly at the suprise of Remus not following the others.

"Oh, ah transfiguration" Lily stated.

"Oh that, im having a bit of trouble with the theory." Remus said.

"Really? i found it alright, i could help you with the essay if you like?" Lily suggested.

"That'd be great, thanks. When do you want to start? He asked.

"Um, im free around 6, ill meet you in the library, is that alright with you?" Lily asked.

"Yep, perfect! thanks Lily" Remus said and with a wave, walked toward the boys dormitory.

Remus was a sweet guy, she didn't know why he went around with the marauders. James, Sirius and Peter were so different to him. James and Sirius were practically the same person, both annoying, idiotic guys that only care about pranks and girls. Peter was strange, he was a bit of a coward and just followed the Marauders around, taking orders from them, but Remus, he was different. He cared about how people felt, his schoolwork and wasn't rude to anyone.

- The Heads Common Room -

Lily walked up to the portrait hole and said the password.

The portrait swung open to reveal a gorgeous room.

She stepped in and looked at her surroundings. The walls were a royal red and there was two small couches and a long couch, they were placed right infront of a fireplace. Lily noticed a door to her left. She opened it and went inside.

It was a room with a bed in the middle and a study desk to the side with a dressing table to the other. Lily went and sat on her bed. This was luxury.

She got up and ran into the next room and found James sitting at his desk.

"Geez Evans, that eager to be in my room already?" James asked teasingly.

"Oh shut up, i just wanted to have a look" Lily said and with that, she turned around and left the room.

James jumped up and followed her.

"Evans, why do you hate me so much?" James asked.

"Hmm, lets see Potter, you annoy me 24/7, you don't seem to care about anyone as much as yourself and you're a dickhead." Lily told him quite suprised at the question.

'Oh' was all he could say as Sirius bursted through the door a second later.

"Hey Prongs, lets go do some scoping, its been awhile since i last had a girlfriend." Sirius said, throwing himself onto the lounge lazily. He then seemed to notice Lily.

"Oh sorry, Hello Evans, looking hot." Sirius stated, giving her a small wink.

"Urgh, you disgust me" Lily said while she noticed James glare at Sirius for his comment.

Lily turned and left the common room.

"Sorry mate, couldn't help it, so much fun watching her get annoyed." Sirius explained.

"Yea, spose so." Was all James could say.

"Now time for some scoping, Alice is looking pretty hot latley." Sirius said happily.

" You know she's off limits so don't even try." James informed his friend.

They then turned and followed Lilys exit.

- Empty classroom -

Lily and Remus ended up choosing a seat at the back of the Library. They were surrounded by books and there was hardly anyone in the room.This was Lily's favourite place to study.

"Okay, lets get started." Lily said, dumping a pile of books on the table.

"Woah, i take it we'll be here for awhile." Remus stated.

Lily shook her head.

"Only for a couple of hours, i have to patrol later on." She simply said.

They began reading through the books and working on the essay.

After what seemed about two hours they got up and put the books away.

The essay complete.

"Wow Lily, thankyou so much. couldn't have done it without you" Remus said with a gorgeous smile.

"No problems, glad to help, and anyway it was sort of fun helping you" Lily said.

Remus swooped down and place a small kiss on Lilys cheek. Lilys stomach did a flip.

"Thanks Lils" Remus said and started heading out of the library.

Lily was stunned, why did she feel so strange when he did that. Her body was all tingly and she wished he would come back. That's when she realised, she fancied Remus Lupin.
