Change begins
"Hey Lils, wait up" yelled a frustrated James. Amazingly the usually noisy corridor became quiet; this was going to be another interesting display. The rest of the school couldn't quite believe the situation between these two Gryffindors, both popular in their own ways, respected and intelligent, but for some reason Lily didn't want to have anything to do with James.
"Ya what?" Lily said turning to James, "and why would I wait for you Potter?" James flinched at the way she spat out his name as if it were something foul. Just once he'd like her to say it the way she said it when she talked to him in his dreams, almost as a caress. He smiled fondly at the thought. "Earth to Potter. Any one there" said the red-head James came rapidly back down to earth.
"Course I'm here, doll. Worried you'd lost me?" he said grinning cheekily.
"Hardly. As I recall you wanted to talk to me."
"Ah, yes"
"Well" replied the frustrated Lily.
"Well, what?" said the apparently confused James
"Well why are you wasting my time smart-arse. What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Sorry." Said James, "I didn't realise I needed a reason to talk to my favourite chick."
"Your What?" Shouted Lily, "Piss off Potter, before I hex your overly large head up your overly firm arse." Lily turned and ran off towards the Gryffindor common room. Leaving a startled, but very smiley James behind.
