Well, here it is, my first fanfic!!! I really like the Lily/James pairing, so I decided to write one! Here we go, on with the story!!
Lily Evans stepped onto platform 9 and 3/4, breathing in the sharp scent of Hogwarts, her school, her home for the last 6 years. She felt like she belonged at Hogwarts, there were people there who understood her. Best of all, this year she had been made Head Girl by Professor Dumbledore. Lily was very proud of herself for working so hard to achieve this magnificent goal.
"With hair like that, you must be Lily Evans!" said a voice behind her. Lily turned around and was immediately enveloped in a hug from one of her best friends, Serena Woodford.
Serena had long, straight blond hair and bright blue eyes. She wasn't much into dating, but guys were mesmerized by her beauty and fawned over her. Serena and Lily had met on the train on the first day of Hogwarts and from then on they were inseparable.
"Serena!" Lily cried. "How was your summer?!"
"Amazing, how 'bout you? Was Petunia an old bat again?" Serena looked concerned at her best friends older sister, who was always very mean to Lily.
"Of course she was, but that's nothing knew, is it?" Lily rolled her eyes at the thought of her sister.
"Do I get a part in this love fest, or are you two just going to ignore me all day?" another voice said from nearby.
Serena and Lily turned around. "Angela!!!" they shrieked, running towards her and hugging her forcefully.
"Whoa there you guys, don't crush my ribs, I need them for Quidditch!!" Angela gasped.
"Whoops, sorry Gregory!!" Lily said, letting go of her friend.
Lily and Serena had met Angela Gregory shortly after they themselves had become friends. Angela had dark brown curly hair and light brown eyes. She played Quidditch and loved to talk about sports, but she also loved to gossip. (A/N: I'm not going to go to in-depth about Lily's looks because I'm pretty sure you know what she looks like...)
The girls began talking animatedly about their summers that nobody noticed a certain James Potter coming up behind Lily.
He put one hand on her waist and the other hand on one of her curls.
"Wow Evans, you seemed to have gotten even prettier than when I last saw you, we better work on that, some first years might start passing out. My compliments to the people who gave you your looks." he drawled in her ear.
As fast as lightning, Lily had whipped around and pulled out her wand, pointing it at James, backing him into the wall as she spoke angry words.
"First of all, you will not, I repeat will not comment on my looks. Second of all, never ever talk about my parents that way again, they don't deserved to be talked about by you. And finally, if you touch me like that ever again you will wish you never had hands. ARE WE CLEAR!?" she shouted in his face.
"I must say, you look even better when your angry Evans, though I think everyone sees this side of you a little to much. And I have noticed that we are extremely close, your doing, I'm sure." James replied, smirking.
Lily scowled. "You disgust me!" she said while driving her wand roughly into his chest.
James smiled charmingly.
Lily whipped around, hitting him across the face with her red curls, but not walking away until she sent a Bat-Bogey hex over her shoulder, missing James by inches.
"Oh, and by the way Evans, I noticed your badge, congrats. We'll be seeing much more of each other, I'm Head Boy." James said, showing her the badge on his chest with a smirk on his face.
James walked onto the train.
"Wait, WHAT???!!!!!" Lily screeched. "He...he...NO!!! NO WAY!!!!!"
Lily was speechless. She felt as if she had been hit over the head with a hammer. (Petunia thought it would be a fun 'experiment' the summer before Lily went to Hogwarts.) This was not possible!!! James Potter could never be made Head Boy. This was some sick joke!!! Thats right, it was a stupid prank!! Remus Lupin, one of Potters best friends, had probably lent him the badge just for a laugh. This made Lily feel much better, and, looking around, she realized Angela and Serena had already gone onto the train.
Lily found them in a compartment near the front, so she dropped off her trunk and went straight to the Heads compartment.
Looking around the compartment, she noticed Remus sitting, reading a book, but he didn't have a Head Boy badge on, it was simply a Prefects badge. Lily thought for a moment. If Remus wasn't Head Boy, does that mean...!!!
On cue, James Potter burst through the door behind her. "Hello Evans, miss me?" he said, once again with an arrogant smirk.
"Get away from me you-"
"Language Lily! Your Head Girl now, you must set an example for the younger children." James replied, grinning.
Lily now realized that everyone in the carriage was staring at her. She glared back at James and said "If the Heads are supposed to set a good example, then why did they pick you?"
"Maybe my amazing charm and great looks?" James grinned. (A/N: He seems to grin and smirk a lot, doesn't he...?)
Lily scowled and flounced to a seat on the opposite end of the carriage.
The meeting went by rather quickly, and Lily set off to patrol the train. She found nothing much except for a few third years getting a little to crazy with a game of Exploding Snap.
After a few rounds, Lily mad her way back to the front of the train. She found Serena and Angela talking about their summers when she arrived.
"I can't believe it! James Potter, HEAD BOY!!" Lily cried.
"Wait a second," Angela hesitated. "Don't the Head Boy and Girl have to share a dorm with each other?"
"WHAT!!!????" Lily shrieked. "THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THIS BEFORE I KNEW JAMES POTTER WAS HEAD BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Lily, Angela didn't know you'd be so mad about it." Serena said wisely. "Besides, maybe it wont be so bad..."
The look on Lily's face told Serena that it was not a good thing to say at the moment.
"Not mad, NOT MAD!!!!???? HOW WOULD I NOT BE MAD ABOUT POTTER BEING MADE HEAD BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????" Lily screamed.
"Lily, please-" Angela tried to cut in but stopped when Lily collapsed into a chair, crying.
"This-was-s-s-s-supposed to-be-my best year!! But James-P-P-P-Potter has to ruin e-e-everything!!!!!" Lily said through her tears.
"Don't worry Lily, something good is bound to come out of this year!" Serena said optimistically.
But Lily didn't believe her, and that thought made her cry even harder.
Well, it looks like Lily is a mess. Ah well, that will change in due course. Sorry this chapter is so short, but I want to see if anybody likes this story before I write to much. Please review, it will make me very happy!!!!!
