Summary: Lily Evans was not your usual sixth year student at Hogwarts school of witchcraft ad Wizardry. She was an immensely smart sixteen year old and the girl everyone wanted. She was gorgeous with her long ginger hair and her emerald green eyes were the most seductive thing about her. She was Gryffindor prefect and perhaps one of the most brilliant minds to pass through Hogwarts.
Lily awoke with a start and began dressing herself to head down for breakfast at the Great Hall. As she bounded down the stairs she encountered perhaps the most annoying
person in the school, or at least he was annoying to her. The messy raven haired boy bounded down the stairs surrounded by his usual posse. Confidence, wait more like arrogance surrounded the handsome teen as he walked. The boy to the left of him was slightly taller, had messy long black hair, and had the most adorable smile. To the right of
the raven haired boy was a tired looking brow haired boy who was far too intelligent to be running around with the other two. "Evans, care to go out on a," the raven haired boy started. "How many times must, I tell you Potter? No," Lily replied icily. "I told you mate, she is too stuck up. That is no way to treat the captain of the Quidditch team," replied
the long haired boy. "Sirius watch it she too is a prefect and can land you in detention," replied the brown haired boy. "Thank you, Remus," she replied nicely as she ran to the great hall. She grabbed her usual spot in the middle of the table and waited to be joined by the rest of the girls. So what if Potter was captain of the Quidditch team? He was just
a boy up to no good. God how she loathed him. Yet, at night when no one was around she thought about him. She wondered what it would be like to be with the muscular 'pretty boy' as she phrased it. But then she reminded herself that he was a boy with discipline file five times the size of any civilized human. She could feel his eyes hazel eyes boring holes into her. Lily turned to scan the Slytherin table in hopes of finding Severus. Once she found him, she heaved a sigh. He was with his death eater friends, again. It
seemed like lately she didn't even exist to her best friends. In fact, the only people giving her any attention were Potter and his posse. "Why are you staring at that greasy git?" questioned Sirius Black. Before she could reply Remus opened his mouth. "Detentions Sirius," he said from behind the book he was reading. Lily turned her gaze to her goblet of pumpkin juice and sipped it. Quickly, she ate and headed back to the Gryffindor common room. She gathered up her books and supplies and headed to the dungeons for
potions class. She stood at the door and waited for Professor Slughorn to come. "Hello, Miss Evans," he said as he held open the door for. "Good morning professor," she replied sweetly as she set up her cauldron and gathered the ingredients written on the board. She grabbed extras for lab partner, Severus. She could not comprehend why Gryffindors hated potions with Slytherins and vice versa. It seemed the only people who enjoyed it were Severus Snape and Lily Evans. However, no one, not even Miss Evan,
could deny that certain James Potter and Sirius Black loved the class for several reasons. The first reason it was open season on Snape or Snivellus as they called him. Sirius also loved to tease her for partnering with Severus. James, however, loved it because she was there. Moments later, Severus entered the dungeons. "Morning Professor," he mumbled as he sat down next to Lily. "Hello Severus," he replied as the rest of the students began filing in. "Today class we will be making a love potion. You will find the
directions on page two hundred and four of your textbooks," announced Professor Slughorn. A collective sigh escaped the lips of the vast majority of the class. Lily could feel Potter's eyes on her as he whispered amongst his friends. She could vaguely hear Remus telling Potter his idea was a bad one. In the pit of her stomach Lily feared he was going to spike her drink with a love potion, and she was right. As Lily and Severus began chopping up the ingredients she could feel the eyes of the Slytherin girls on her. It wasn't as
though they were attracted to Snape; they just didn't want one of their own hanging out with the goody -two –shoes Lily Evans. Lily turned around to see Bellatrix Black cursing her with her wand. Lily rolled her eyes began adding the ingredients slowly into the cauldron. "What are you doing Sev?" asked Lily as she saw him writing in his old, shabby
textbook. "Making notes," he hissed and began doing his work. Lily shrugged off his coldness and convinced herself he was only mean because that is what she was expecting him to be. "You know Sev, you could always use the potion Bellatrix," she teased. "Don't you dare bring that up," he yelled. "Sorry," she whispered. "Leave Evans alone you greasy git," yelled Potter as he drew his wand. Professor Slughorn quickly handed Potter and Severus each detention. "Miss Evans you may want to go move with your friends,"
Slughorn said gesturing to the empty spot next to James. Silently, she nodded and agreed because she dare not disobey an order from a teacher. "Thanks Potter," she mumbled softly. She could see the grin spread across his face as he said: "No problem Evans." "Wow, she actually spoke to us?" Sirius remarked as Lily levitated her cauldron over to
the table. "Watch it Sirius," mumbled Remus. "And she said thanks!" exclaimed Sirius sarcastically. "It must be opposite day," he continued. "Shut it Sirius," Potter mumbled elbowing his friend in the stomach. He turned his attention back to Lily who was stirring her cauldron. "Evans mind giving me a hand," James mumbled. "Sure James- I mean Potter," she mumbled. Why did I just call him James? This is SO embarrassing thought Lily. She walked over to wear he was standing at looked at the murky liquid he had in
his cauldron and gazed at the pink color of her own. "You are stirring it wrong," she informed him. She took out her wand and began stirring the potion. "Like this?" he asked as he his hand caressed hers and began to stir. Lily could feel her heart skip a beat. Potter just caressed my hand and I liked it. What is wrong with me? She thought as she
pulled her hand back. James smiled at her and sure enough she felt herself smile back. "See I do not bite or at least hard, Lily" he said seductively as he whispered her name. James could see it sent shivers down Lily's spine and he smiled. Just play mister charming and she'll be yours he thought. Lily mentally kicked herself. This is Potter he is a no
good trouble maker she reminded herself. But inside her she thought it would be fun to date the bad boy. Silently, she turned to her potion and bottled a sample for Professor Slughorn. She began cleaning up and kept reminding herself she hated Potter. She glanced over at his potion and saw it was still mess. "Evans can I borrow a sample of yours,"
he pleaded. Normally, she would give him detention for that, but today she felt kind hearted. Perhaps, she felt something strong towards James other than hate. When no one was looking she slipped him a flask full. She waved her wand and packed up her things and cleaned out Potter's cauldron. She walked toward the room to get ready to leave and go to her next class. She heard Professor Slughorn compliment Potter on actually doing a potion right for once. Lily was shocked to find her lips curl into a smile.
