Her Cinderella Story

Author's Note: Ok some people might totally hate this but this has been in my mind since the beginning and I just need to write it. This might not follow JKR Lily and James precisely. Anyways please read and review because it was an awesome story to write! Just as a warning I am a bit of a maniac (the username).

Disclaimer: I wish I owned it but I don't, life sucks but that's why we have Harry Potter to protect us against Lord Voldemort! (again the maniac speaking).

Prince Charming & The Pops

Lily stared dreamily towards James who was sitting with his four friends. She was sitting next to her friend Emily Harris. Emily was furiously coping down notes to what Professor Binns was saying. Lily and Emily had the seats right in the back. Lily had always dragged Emily back here. The four Gryffindor boys were passing notes to each other and joking. Lily looked down at her parchment. It was blank, she would have to copy notes from Emily tonight.

Lily's eyes drifted to the people in the room. Professor Binns was reading from a book, the rest of the class with the exception of a few were all playing around. Her eyes rested on Lexie, Jackie, and Gabrielle. They were the beautiful Gryffindor girls who always had a date or a boyfriend, also known as the Pops, for being perfect. All the guys were around them and marveling at their beauty. They blushed and accepted the compliments. Then she saw Tom, the fifth Gryffindor guy who never talked to anyone but Lily and Emily. He was always was in the library or in his room studying.

Her eyes wandered back to the three bubbly girls. She envied Lexie, she had the heart of every guy in the room. Her golden blonde beauty and brown eyes were the key to her attractiveness. She flirted with every guy in the school, even the second years. Jackie was the raven beauty, her long silky straight black hair was resting in a low ponytail with two strands in her face. Gabrielle was the typical blonde, ditzy, confused, and clueless to the world. Her hair was very unique it was almost white, only her cousin had the same hair. The only reason she didn't fail was because she had her admirers do her homework. The group had a flirt, a beauty, and a blonde. Secretly Lily dreamed she could be the fiery red head but she never shared her feelings with Emily or anyone. If Emily knew this she would have a heart attack.

Lily's eyes fell again on the messy black hair. She wished that she could be the one in his strong muscular arms. She wished she could feel his lips on hers, to see his hazel eyes staring deeply in hers.

She hated James usually ever since he kept hitting on her. He gave up and dated other girls. She always thought that it was more of a joke being asked out by him. Something Sirius would pull, make the girl think she was loved and then break her heart in public. But since the fall, James had surprising deflated his head and was almost nice to her since she wasn't in the popular circle.

"Lily?" whispered Emily. Lily tore her eyes off James and looked at her best friend, "Lily did you get that last name?"

"Um no, I wasn't paying attention, sorry."

"Great," she muttered. Lily looked at her parchment again and decided to work on her Charms homework. She had finished it all within fifteen minutes. The bell rang and Lily stuffed her homework in her bag. She slung her bag over her back and headed for the door. James was talking with Sirius, Peter, and Remus.

"James!" Lily called, "James!" James turned around.

"Evans, such a pleasure to see you with your nose out of a book," joked Sirius.

"Nice to see that you don't have your tongue down some girls throat," smiled Lily. Everyone laughed including James. Lily smiled even more.

"Yeah Lily?" asked James.

"Um, we need to work on planning the Seventh Year Christmas Ball."

"Yeah, we can do it tonight in the common room."

"James, you have a date with Amy," said Peter.

"What about tomorrow?"

"We're having a Marauder's Meeting," said Sirius.

"A what?" questioned Lily.

"Official stuff, can't share with you Evans," said Remus politely.

"Tomorrow night then," said James, he gave a warning look at Sirius that said 'shut up.'

"Right, thanks," smiled Lily as she ran off to where Emily was waiting.

"Why are you missing a meeting for Evans?" asked Sirius.

"I don't want to see your ugly faces," joked James as they went down to the Great Hall.

"What was that all about?" asked Emily when they stared down towards the Great Hall for dinner.

"Head Boy and Girl stuff."

"Tell all."

"Emily let's not talk about it, I'm starving." Reluctantly Emily ended the conversation.
