True Love: The Story of Lily and James Potter (based very closely on clues from JKR)
Chapter 1
Lily walked up the corridor in a huff, her thick, wavy dark red hair flowing behind her, her green eyes sparkling with anger. She was clutching her books tight to her chest.
She had never approved of the way James treated Severus. She had defended him today, stood up for him because she knew it was the right thing to do. But that greasy Slytherin had called her that WORD again. She realized from day one at the sorting that she would never be rid of the word when she was dealing with the likes of the Slytherins, but when Snape uttered the word at her today. after she had helped him!
Her thoughts trailed off as she rounded the corner and saw her friends Sarah and Ophelia.
Sarah had blonde straight hair with rich blue eyes, they had nicknamed her Barbie when she returned to Hogwarts for their 5th year as she had filled out significantly over the summer, leaving the boys to trail after her with tongues hanging out. She was Muggle born too, but no one seemed to notice anything beyond her beauty, even her high marks in all her classes.
Ophelia was just the opposite of her friend physically. Her rich black hair cascaded around her face in loose ringlets and her warm brown eyes were the kind that invited secrets into the open. She was no less beautiful but was not as curvaceous as her friend.
They were giggling to themselves as Lily approached them.
"Hey Lil," Ophelia said, "Where did you go?"
"Yeah, you took off after you yelled at James," chimed Sarah, "Nicely done by the way, he looked completely dumbfounded when you walked away."
"Yeah?" Lily replied in a slightly inquisitive tone "Can you believe he is still asking me out?!"
"Why don't you give him a chance Lil? You know he's one of the cutest boys in our year, if not the whole school!" Sarah said, perking a little at the idea of it all.
Lily thought for a moment back to him. His tall, muscular build was obvious, even with his robes on and his hair was cute, even if he was always mussing it up to make him appear as if he'd just stepped off a broom. She snapped back to reality and replied, "Maybe I would if he wasn't so damn arrogant!"
Sarah and Ophelia both nodded at this. James knew he was great and he wasn't about to let anyone forget it. He had won the Quidditch cup for Gryffindor for three years running and his looks were only improving. He had grown from a skinny, almost awkward first year into a muscular, tall, tan Quidditch star that could have almost any girl he wanted. Any girl, except Lily, she had been turning him down for years now, but she still thought he was gorgeous.

James had finished with Snivellus for the moment and he lounged back under the tree with Remus and Peter. He ran his hand through his already very untidy hair and looked around at his three friends. His tall, lean frame stretched out and his hazel eyes looked mischievous as he eyed Remus.
"So Moony. When's the full moon? You're not looking too hot." It was true, Remus Lupin's face was pale and drawn, as if he had been sick. His light brown hair was wavy and falling into his face as he scrolled through his book. He was the same height as James but not nearly as muscular.
"Tomorrow night." Remus replied with a sigh, "Thank Merlin today is the last of the O.W.L.S. Transfiguration is last. I think I can probably pass it without studying but I don't want to kick myself after if it's harder than I'm expecting."
"Come on already Moony!" laughed Sirius happily, "You know you have transfiguration down!" Sirius was very good looking with his straight dark hair and his cool demeanor only contributed to his attractiveness. He had rich brown eyes that were mysterious and had a look that told everyone he was trouble. He had two inches on both James and Remus and was the tallest of the group.
"I hope I don't do as poorly on this one as I did on the others."came a meek voice. Peter Pettigrew was a lot smaller than the other boys and did not seem to fit in with the others. He had mousy hair and a pointed nose. He was never very good in school and many people wondered over how he came to be friends with the other three.
But James had stopped listening and was now thinking of her again. He could have any girl in the school but he didn't want just any girl, oh no. he had to have her. She was the most beautiful girl in his eyes and no other would do. Even when she was yelling at him earlier, he couldn't help but notice his heart start to beat faster in his chest. Her beauty wasn't the only thing he had noticed about her. She was also quick with the comebacks, something very important if she were ever to roll with the boys. It didn't hurt that she was also very good at her classes, especially charms. She was exactly what he wanted and he wasn't going to stop trying until she said yes.
