Chapter 1- That girl     

She would walk down the hall and leave a trail of heart-broken guys in her wake. One minute she would make him feel like the greatest guy in the world, and then the next she would act like she barely knew him, and was treating another guy "special". Maybe she did it on purpose, just for attention. Maybe she did it just because she could. I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't have minded either, except she did it to my friend. She was dating him, a real commitment, something she rarely ever had, and she was treating him amazingly the whole month. The only problem was she was doing the same thing to a Hufflepuff beater for about 2 weeks of that month. I wasn't about to let some tramp do that to my best friend Remus. No way. So I did something about it. First let me explain.

Lily Evans was that girl. She was the beautiful, popular, sickeningly nice, back-stabbing bitch that treated guys like dirt. She was medium height and thin with long, curly red hair and big green eyes that she used to make guys do anything she wanted. She wasn't a bimbo like most of the girls, though. She was practically a genius, the top of her year, and had a quick, biting wit. Most of the girls hated her, idolized her, and were her best friends all at once. She needed to be taught a lesson, and that's where I got my idea.

I went to Sirius and Remus first, just to clear it and see what they thought. I told them we couldn't just prank her, she'd get over it and maybe even do the same to us. We needed to give her a taste of her own medicine.

"...so one of us, me or you Sirius, would get Lily to like us, and then dump her, hard. She'd get paid back big time. Just as long as it's ok with you Moony..." James finished.

"Hey, I don't mind. She deserves it for what she did." Remus answered bitterly.

"Well Prongs, I vote you do it as I don't want to deal with that." Sirius said

"Damnit Sirius I was hoping you'd want to do it... I wasn't hoping on me having to be nice to her."

"Your idea Jamsie, you get the honours."

"Err-well I'd better get to work. This might be tough, does that girl even have a heart?" I said and walked out the portrait whole. Now how would I go about this? Should I pretend to like her sometimes and then act indifferent when she seems to like me? Or maybe I should...but as I was thinking I walked into someone. Their papers had scattered all over the floor so I began to pick them up. Someone grabbed the last paper the same time I did. I looked up and saw none other than the lady of the hour.

"Thanks so much." She said in a fake voice and gave me and equally fake smile. Oh god, what was I in for?

"Yea...it was the least I could do for knocking you over." I said, and stood up. She seemed to be waiting for me to help her up. Yea right, I wasn't falling for her fake helpless woman crap. Looking a little mad she stood up herself.

"Oh no, you got your robes dusty helping me to pick my things up. Here, I'll help..." she said and brushed the fake dust off my chest. I grabbed her hand and she looked up into my eyes with a surprised look on. Wow, they really are pretty.

"It's ok; just let me walk you to wherever you're going." I said sternly.

"Well if you insist..." she said and took my hand. Oh god, I was carrying her stuff in one arm and holding her hand with the other.

"So...where are we going?" I asked casually. You can't be too eager with girls, or they'll loose interest, no matter how good looking you are.

"The Common Room, then dinner if you haven't yet eaten..."  Wow, gutsy, but she probably never gets rejected.

"Uh, sorry, I did." Hah, not really, but I can always go to the kitchens.

"Oh." She said and looked a bit peeved. I tried to start some conversation again, it was better than walking with her in silence, and I still need my plan to work.

"So...how have you been lately? I haven't talked to you since...a while." Don't mention Remus! God, James you really are dumb.

"Oh! I'm alright. They're giving a lot of homework this year cos OWLs."

"Yea, they did that to us last year, too.  It was rough." I didn't expect her to talk about schoolwork. Maybe she isn't trying to seduce me like everyone else...

"That cheers me up so much, thanks." She said sarcastically. Definitely not like with other people.

"No problem, I'm here day and night." Wait. Did that sound like I was hitting on her? Damn, is she going to think I'm some kind of mate who's always there for her?

"James! This is the portrait whole...let's go..." she said obviously. I looked and saw the portrait wide open and half the common room looking at me. No wonder, my friend got cheated on by the girl I was holding hands with. I walked in and she turned quickly to me saying "Well, bye James. Thanks for walking me." I gave her back her things and she had a big, fake smile on her face. What's with this girl? She's so bloody fake around other people. I just turned around and mounted the stairs to my dorm.
