Chapter one: Lucky James.



James Potter woke up with a start. Today was September first, the beginning of a new year. He still couldn't believe that he, James Potter, had become a prefect. The thing that made it so surprising was that, he and his friends (Sirius, Remus and Peter) had always been looked at as "the jokers" and have never been expected to do anything but be clowns. He considered himself to be very lucky. Especially since his prefect partner was Lil Evans. Lily was a beautiful red headed girl in his same year. She was the most popular girl James knew. James had always had a thing for Lily although he knew he didn't have a chance with her.

James spent longer than usual getting dressed that morning knowing he would be seeing Lily. He went down the squeaky stairs and straight to the kitchen. His nun had made his favorite breakfast; bacon, eggs and butterbeer. He rushed to the table and started stuffing his face. "Someone's hungry!" His mum said as she crossed the kitchen.

"I'm in a hurry, I don't want to miss the train!" James replied with a mouth full of food.

"Don't talk with your mouth full!" Snapped his mother.

"Bye mum, bye dad."James said as he stepped out of their old car. He had only gotten a couple of feet from the car when,

"James! Jamseie! You dropped one of your books!" His plump mother was running towards him holding Hogwarts, a history. He turned and took the book. Mrs. Potters eyes were watering as if she was going to cry.

"Mum...don't start here..." James was frantically looking around to see if Lily was anywhere near. Luckily, she wasn't.

"Make us proud Jamesie." Then she stood on tip toe so she could reach his nose, and kissed him. Just then Mr. Potter honked the horn. He hated to be late for work. As they drove off, his father gave him a thumbs up sign.

"JAMES!!"James whipped around and saw his three best friends rushing towards him, Sirius in the lead.

"Hey Sirius!" he relied. Sirius hugged James around the waist and lifted him up, making passer by's stare.

"Put me down!" James tried to say through Sirius' bone crushing squeeze.

"Hurry! We're gonna miss the train!" Peter said in a quiet voice.

"Hey James!" Remus said, patting James on the back as they walked towards the platform. "I already have a compartment saved for us..." Remus was going on. James wasn't paying attention. He had spotted Lily. She was laughing aloud in her circle of friends. Her ginger hair shined in the sunlight. She looked in his direction. Time seemed to freeze. She slowly started toward him.

"Oh god! She ...sh...she's coming!" he stammered.

"What are you talking ab--?" Sirius started, but got cut off.

"Hey James!" Lily said in a cool tone. James stood there, his mouth WIDE open*a/n: don't we all have these moments?*

"hehehehe... let me help ya..." Lily lifted her finger and push his bottom jaw back up.

"Oh, I mean...hi...Lily." James said stupidly. He felt like smacking himself. How could he be so DUMB?! Sirius, (who was peering over James' shoulder) let out a laughing snort. James quickly stepped on Sirius' toe and shoved him back. Lily batted her eye lashes. It was Lily who broke the silence.

"So, I guess we will be working together as prefects this year." She said smoothly. "Yeah." James sighed. "I'm happy we got put together so we can...er...get to know each other." He finished with a cheesy smile.

Lily Smiled back and said, "So, I'll see you on the train?"

"Um..yeah, sure...I mean...of course!" James had to hold himself to control the sudden urge to just lunge at her. Then he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"JAMESIES! You forgot your bag of quills!"

"MUM?!" James cried in a mixture of surprise and embarrassment. "Here James, I'm in a hurry." She stood on her tip toes and kissed him in the same spot she had earlier. Then she turned to his friends not noticing the smiling Lily that stood in front of James. "Sirius, Remus and Peter, don't get in to much trouble this year ok? Bye!" She finally headed back through the barrier.

James turned to Lily who giggled. "She seems nice!" She said trying to make James feel more comfortable. "See ya on the train!" she said before rejoining her group of friends.

"What was that?!" he heard Sirius say. "You've got it bad James. And I have to admit, your mother had perfect timing..."

James slid open the soon to the prefects compartment. Lily was not there yet. James' attention then fixed on the compartment he was looking at. There were leather recliners with a copy of "The Daily Prophet" on each of them. A lot of the prefects were already there. He looked towards the back of the compartment and saw a desert bar. *Can ya tell that I'm hungry right now??* James went and sat down in a chair by the window. The chairs seemed to mold to his body. He closed his eyes and finally began to really relax. Then, the compartment door slid open. It was Lily. James quickly sat up, "Lily! Over here!" he waved her over.

She took the seat next to him. "Hi James! I'm so glad that I actually know someone! I would feel weird if I didn't know anyone." The next thing happened so quick James didn't even know it happened until after it did. He leaned over and kissed her. After about three seconds, she actually kissed him back! Then she pulled away sharply and looked away.

"Lily...I just...I couldn't...I..." James stumbled, lost for words.

"I think I need to go to the W.C." She said as she got up.*a/n: I threw a few English words in so that you could REALLY get in to the spirit...* Then she got up and walked out. "You've really done it this time James!" he thought to himself.
