Lily crawled under the covers of her bed and sighed deeply. Tomorrow I'm going back to Hogwarts, for the last year she thought. This year will be full of adventure, I"m sure of it! With a hapy thought in her head, she fell asleep.

"Yes!!" James said, punching a fist in the air. Last year of Hogwarts! I will win over Evans this time, he thought, trying to get comfortable in his bed. But he couldn't help but have this one, tiny, little nagging thought in the back of this head that said, What if you don't?

"Bye, Mum! Bye, Dad! Bye, Petunia!" said a very chipper Lily Evans, hugging and kissing her family goodbye as she picked up her luggage and her trusty owl.

"Bye, Lily! Have fun at your last year in Hogwarts! Good luck as Head Girl," said her mom and dad.

"Have fun at your freak school," sneered Petunia. Lily's smiled went away and she shot a sad little goodbye smile at Tuney and her parents before boarding the Hogwarts Express with her friends, Ellie and Amy.

They found a compartment to theirselves and started to catch up with each other when suddenly...

BAM!!!!!!!

And arrogant James Potter, and his friend Sirius Black appeared in front of them, grins on their faces. Lily groaned softly. James had grown over the summer; His black hair was slightly long, but wasn't messy at all. His eyes were bright with excitement, and unfortunately, Lily had to admit that James looked even better than he did last year.

Blimey James thought. Lily, if possible, looked prettier than she did last year. Her dark, red hair was mid-back length, looking full and bouncy, making James want to sit down next to her and stroke her beautiful hair.

"Afternoon, Lily," said James, flashing a smile at Lily.

"Technically it's only 11:57, so it's still morning," said Lily, crossing her arms with a tiny smile on her face. She didn't know why, but she seemed really determined to prove that she hated James Potter and everything he said was wrong.

James grinned and said, "What'd you think of my apparation? Pretty good, eh, Evans?"

"Finally you can actually do it," Lily said.

"Yup!" he said proudly. He held his hand out to Lily and handed her a lily, saying, "Here, this is for you.", looking shy, and not like his usual boastful self.

"Oooohhh," Sirius, Ellie, and Amy said.

Lily blushed and said, "Thanks, James." Be strong, Lily! Don't fall for his charm!!

Just then, the compartment door burst open and there stood Lily's ex-best friend, Severus Snape, looking disheveled and his hair looked even greasier than usual. "Lily! I've been looking all over for you!" he said, panting.

"Hello, Snivellus," James greeted him, shooting a look at Sirius. Lily could see Severus stiffen when he heard James's voice.

"Leave me alone, Severus!!" Lily said angrily, turning to face the window.

"Lily, please forgive me!" begged Severus. "It's been almost 2 years; It was a mistake!! Please forgive me!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" Lily yelled.

"But Lily-"

"She said, leave her alone," said James, putting himself in Severus's path.

"Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it, Potter?" answered Severus, glaring angrily at the guy who had fancied Lily since the first year.

Faster than lightning, James and Sirius whipped out their wands and yelled, "Expelliarmus!" The wand flew out of Snape's hand and landed a few feet away. "Levicorpus!" James says calmly, and watches while Snape is flipped upside down in the air, and you can see, again, greying underpants and white, skinny legs.

"Oh, will you please put him down? He disgusts me!" scoffed Lily.

"Of course, Evans," said James. "Liberacorpus."

Severus immediately tries to get to this wand, but Sirius waves his wand up in the air and says, "Locomotor Mortis." Snape falls onto the floor, and James kicks him out of the compartment, throwing his wand across the hall.

"See ya, Snivellus!" he waved goodbye, and slammed the compartment door.

He immediately turned to see Lily's reaction, but she was facing the window, staring calmly at the trees that passed by as the train moved on.

"So, Evans," started James, and he sat down next to her. Lily turned around and nearly jumped out of her skin to find that James was so close to her. She noticed that he had these cute dimples when he smiled, and two cute little freckles on his nose, and wait. What was she thinking??

I don't like James Potter, she tried to think. I think he's an arrogant, bullying toerag!

"After our first class, you wanna take a walk with me? Just a simple walk," James asked, looking really cute.

How can I say no? Lily thought. No, I will NOT fall for Potter's slick charm. "Maybe, maybe not, Potter," she finally said, absentmindly twisting a strand of her red hair. "Potter, it's still a no."

James looked disappointed for a fraction of a second, but then he shrugged and said, "You'll say yes next time."

I think he might actually be right Lily gulped.
