A/n: Hey there to whoever is attempting to read this story and trying to like it! I know most of you are canon fans (me included), but sometimes it gets a little tiring to read the same story over and over again from different authors. And by that, I meant no offense to the authors who have written canon stories. Because I have nearly read every single James and lily story(canon or not)! Anyway, if your heart isn't in it in by the first chapter, then please wait patiently for another...first chapters are always boring(unless someone really good is writing it, which is not me I assure you, so it probably is boring)! But as I said try and get into it...cause it's my first fan-fiction!

I originally started to write this story a year ago, and I've written plenty, but just didn't have enough confidence to put it up. After getting encouraged by my sister and cousin, I decided to put it up. This story is AU...sorry to those who will be forced to leave this story because of that! But I do hope it won't come to that!

Anyway, this story is mostly based on real life (kind of), especially lily's friend.

When I first wrote this story, I called them Jamie Miller and Lily Slater...but in fact they were actually James and Lily...I don't know what made me name them those names, but I did. But then I decided to post this fan-fiction, and I thought readers (if I have any) might not appreciate it. So I changed them back to James and Lily. I'm actually, literally in love with them. And you will be shocked to hear (unless you are like me) that I only read James and Lily fan-fiction. Sometimes (and that is very rare), I read Draco and Hermione...actually, to be truthful, I've only ever read one. And that is "Not again, Granger!" by thestarscomeout. Oh and another long one but I can't seem to remember it.

Anyways, I should let you get on with it, I keep going on and on..sorry. Again, it's my first fan-fic story ever! Please read and review...good or bad...

Chapter 1

Lily was that type of a person, who believed in love at first sight. Who is still waiting for her knight in 'sterling' armour, as she liked to call it. She always fell for the male characters in her novels and movies, regardless of their age.

"You see, that way, I can never let a guy destroy me." She constantly said when someone criticized her beliefs, which were often thrown from her friends. "And that way, I can have as many of them as possible."

Her friends constantly told her that if she were to date a boy - which she has sworn never to do -she would be the world class best player. For she's known for falling in and out of love easily, especially if she saw a guy on the street or her best friends brother, she would squeal and say "Gee, he's so handsome, I'm totally in love with him.", and forget about him the second he's out of sight.

She had never actually liked a boy with a real soul and a body that had made her heart beat rapidly. She believed that her never-cheating, always-pleasing boyfriends were easier to handle when they were safely tucked away in her books.

She was also the type of girl who lived by love quotes. And 'Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to' was one of her favourite.

Another one of her beliefs were that one cannot have a boy for a best friend without falling madly in love with them. Although, Summer Meads, her best friend, tried to prove her wrong by staying best friends with Alex McDean since they started Secondary School. But Lily and her other friends knew better. Although, Summer was forever arguing with them that 'he is just my friend.'

Lily's friends were completely opposite to her, besides Summer. Her and Lily were the only ones from their group who would actually hesitate without pretending if someone was to ask them out. Lily decided that Summer would only hesitate because of Alex, otherwise she would be ready to 'try out the new world' too.

Angelina Moore - aka Angel - and Sam Montoya were different, in fact, very different from Lily. Lily's brain couldn't think of even one time when they had turned a boy down. Their image in front of the boys was perfect and they liked it, loved it, even.

As well as having great and loyal friends, Lily had also managed to get herself an enemy. James Potter, a very good looking, Lily grudgingly admitted to herself, -and he knew this- pathetic and an arrogant seventeen year old, who had made it to Lily Evan's list of 'I hate these people'. Alongside his friend, Naomi McCord-actually make that wanna-be-friend-who acted as though she was made for James, but Lily wasn't sure whether James agreed with her and he seemed to be ignoring the oh-so subtle hints that she sent towards him.

Although, Lily and her friends had been sure right from the beginning that one day James would realize that he and Naomi were just 'meant to be'. But that moment had not yet happened, although the girls had their fingers crossed.

Just thinking about them made Lily dread going back to school tomorrow after two months of James and Naomi free zone. She had not set eyes on either of them throughout the entire summer holidays since their last day of their sixth year, when she had hid an unwrapped mince pie in his bag as a surprise. She was glad that her and her cronies-as Summer's dad called them- were going to meet up at Costa for hot chocolate before they started their new year and the battles that would follow with James.

But Lily had made a new school year resolution that she would try her hardest to ignore both of them for as long as possible before she unleashed her wrath on them. Her friends laughed at her when she told them and one even commented that they won't have to wait for long.

She opened 'Goodnight, Beautiful', by one of her favourite authors, but she had to put it away after five minutes of reading the same line without her brain taking anything in that actually made sense. She was too giddy to concentrate on her book, when she knew she would be seeing her friends again after at least two weeks and that she would be starting a new year. The tears threatened to leak over-as they always did-when she thought that 'This is it'! No more excitement and giddiness at the start of a new year because this was her last and final year at Hogwarts High School. She pushed this thought away and dreamed of seeing her friends before falling asleep in a deep and satisfied sleep.

Or so she thought when she was awoken by her own piercing scream. She had a horrible dream that James Potter was made head teacher and he was point black refusing to let her into his school on her first day.

She lay on her bed, slightly sweating and tried to go back to sleep, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn't get to sleep. After what seemed like ages, she fell back into an uneasy sleep.***

A/N: Remember what I said, it's a first chapter thing, please give it a chance and review...
