A/N – My first attempt with lily and James, I don't quite know where it is going yet. May be a one-shot or maybe a multi-chapter. Depends.

Isn't it strange how things start, their seventh year at Hogwarts, her relationship with James potter, their early death, the nearly tragic life of their son. But let's not get ahead of the story, speaking of which, this one seems to begin with a beautiful young girl with fiery red hair and a snippy attitude towards a messy black hared young man, handsome none the less. And this all seem to be happening aboard the Hogwarts Express, no less.

"You have got to be mental, no one in their right mind would have you as head boy, let alone Dumbledore!" she said to the young man, James, who was now looking at her with an expression of mock hurt.

"Ouch Lily, be a little less brutal with your words next time, I may look tough but under the exterior I am soft and fragile." Said James, who now was sporting a grin. "besides, you know that he had to fall of the rocker sometime, he's got to be like three trillion and four."

Lily, who was getting close to her breaking point even though she had only been talking to James for a few minutes, look like she was about to explode, and whose voice was steadily getting louder yelled "You are impossible."

James who, no doubt had been waiting for this replied, "ohh, quite the contrary actually, I am quite possibly within your reach and all you have to do is say the word."

Lily's POV**

Oh goodness, should have seen that coming. But I can't help but melt into those smoldering eyes and that messy hair.

James POV**

I can't help but mess with her, I have loved her for so long and yet she despises me with passion, that's why it threw me off guard when I noticed that she was staring at me. "lily… are you feeling well."

"yes, w-why?"

Me being as thickheaded as possible answered with." You don't seem to be angry with me?" and It came out as more of a question than a statement.

"well, I-I don't mind speaking with you when your not being obnoxious. I must go find my compartment. I'll see you later."

"Um, Lily, we have to be in the prefects compartment so we can speak with the prefects."

"Oh, right, lets go then"

And with that they walked of towards the front end of the train, with the beginnings of a strange but strong relationship.

A/N- super pumped about where its going, review, leave comments, ideas, criticisms, whatever floats!
