So, this is my first story . . . . and I really hope you like it!!!

Disclaimer: The Harry Potter universe is not mine, but J.K. Rowling's . . . . But I can dream right?

Lily Evans woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. It was 9:30 and she was eager to get up and get going. You see, Lily Evans was attending her last year of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not just as a student though, she was head girl and she didn't know it fully yet but this year was full of surprises.

James Potter was awoken by his human clock Sirius Black.

"Come on Jamsie you want to look your best for your Lilyflower."
James tumbled out of bed at the sound of Lily's names. He clambered to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

"Lily, you're gonna be late" Heather Evans called to her daughter. Lily had been up for an hour trying to find something suitable to wear. She was also doing some last minute packing for school. She didn't know why but for some reason Lily wanted to impress a boy. This said boy she thought she would never want to impress in her entire life. Various thoughts ran through her head as she grabbed a bagel and rushed out the door, trunk and things levitated.

James rushed through the barrier and onto platform 9 and 3/4. While he and Sirius were walking to the train he smelt his favorite smell in the whole world. Lily Evans had just moved behind them rushing to the train herself. James put a hand up to his head boy badge and smiled. This was definitely going to be one long year.

Lily put her things in the heads compartment and went in search of her friends. After about 3 minutes she spotted them with a group of boys that she had hated all through her school year, the Marauders. Lily took a seat in the only one open next to James Potter. He had been asking her out since third year and she desperately hoped that he would change his ways. This is because that this year he was the one she had dressed up for. He was the one she had despised. James Potter was the new crush of Lily Evans. Abagail Turner turned away from the conversation and was the first to notice Lily.

"I'm so sorry Lils I just got here and they were sitting with them."

"It's okay" Lily said. And to her it was okay, really. She didn't mind sitting next to James although she thought she might do something totally embarrassing.

James' heart skipped a beat. Was Lily Evans sitting next to him? He couldn't get it past him and he resisted the urge to put his arm around her. He had continued his conversation with Remus when Sirius nudged him in the side.

"Wow it's your lucky day Prongs, first you get head boy, next Lily Evans is sitting so close to you if you flinched in the slightest she would notice."

"Yeah" he replied "just don't ruin it for me she still hasn't found out I'm head boy"
Remus had heard this and chuckled slightly.

"What are you laughing about Remus?" Lily asked.

"Oh nothing you won't find out about shortly" He suppressed another laugh and pointed to James' shirt.

Lily looked to wear Remus was pointing to and was overcome by shock and excitement (only she knew the excitement part, everyone else just thought it was shock). Just then the train jerked due to a little weather problem. Since they had probably broken the record for how many 17 year olds could fit in a train compartment, Lily was now in James' lap. She was blushing furiously and James could see it. He looked at her curiously then smirked. Oh yeah, he thought, this is going to be an excellent year.

When everyone was settled Lily and James realized that they needed to get back to their compartment. They were nearing Hogwarts and they needed to patrol the train's hallway. Once they were done with their part of patrolling, Lily went back to the head compartment. When she got there she noticed her friends.

"Jackie, Abby, Alice what are you guys doing here?" she looked around curiously wondering how they had gotten in.

"We are here because we want to know what's up" Jackie said.

"Well what do you want to know?" Lily made herself comfy in one of the big, plush chairs. This was going to be an exhausting talk.

"Well" started Alice "what's with you and Potter?"
"Nothing is with me and James" Lily replied a little too quickly

"Yes there is. First of all you are calling him James and second I saw that look you gave him when you fell into his lap. I could tell you wanted to stay there." Abby, the tall blond of the group, sat down in the chair next to Lily and looked her straight in the eye.

"We have known each other for several years now answer me- well us truthfully. Do you or do you not like James Potter?"

Lily looked at her feet. She had to answer her friends truthfully. There was no turning back now. She had to admit this to herself and her friends.

"I do" Lily said anxiously "I am totally and utterly in love with James Potter. I might change my mind though if he starts being the conceited, pig-headed git we all have come to know" She sighed and lay back in the giant arm chair.

"We thought so" they all answered in union. Lily then informed them that they would be arriving at Hogwarts soon and they should get changed. As they made their way to the door the girls smirked at Lily. They could hear movements and voices outside of the compartment. Her friends took a step back as they opened the door and the four infamous boys fell to the floor at their feet.

"Flattering boys flattering" Abby laughed "I know I am a princess but no need to bow down." She helped Sirius up first because he was her current boyfriend (they had surprised them all when they had gone out for an entire calendar year. Shocker I know). The girl with the long black, silky hair (formally known as Jackie) helped Remus up for they too had been going out except for three years. The smallest girl with brown eyes and medium-length mousy brown hair was next and helped up her boyfriend of two months whose name was Frank Longbottom. Lily stumbled out of her chair and helped James up for the bottom of the pile. Everyone watched as he grabbed her hand. She couldn't help but feel a little spark as they touched. Lily dismissed this and decided to ponder it later.

When everyone was up, everybody but the heads rushed out to talk about their two friends.

"Ummm...yeah." James Potter edged towards his trunk and started changing into his robes.

"Oh yeah" Lily had followed James' lead and started changing into her robes. She couldn't help but notice how toned James was. She knew he played quidditch but his muscles were huge. Lily tried not to stare as she slipped her skirt on. Once they were all dressed they had a quick meeting with the prefects. After that Lily and James had talked quietly about random things in their compartment. They had just stopped talking about how this year's quidditch season was going to be when Lily blurted out the question that was burning her mind.

"James how much did you hear earlier?"

"Huh. Oh everything after what Abby asked you about me." He blushed slightly as he heard a soft groan come from Lily. Just then the train came to a stop and they hadn't even noticed it had been slowing down. They were at Hogwarts, their beloved school. This year was going to be the most frustrating, exciting, and emotional year yet.
