Chapter 1
ABOARD THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS
There were butterflies in James' stomach as he passed a room on the train where Lily and her friends sat; laughing at a something one of the girls, Sara, had said. It was their last year at Hogwarts, and James' last chance at getting Lily to go out with him.
When James looked up ahead after passing Lily's compartment, he saw Sirius, with his crooked smile, watching him look at Lily. When he realized what Sirius was smirking about, James blushed heavily. The two friends went into the room on the train where Remus was already sitting.
"Ah, our second to last time here On the Hogwarts Express..." sighed Sirius.
"Yeah..." said James.
"...and James is still making little hearts appear in his eyes whenever Lily is around."
James looked at him. He was too used to hearing jokes like this from his friends and didn't even feel annoyed by it. Remus chuckled and continued reading his book.
Peter came into the room and sat down.
The three of his friends muttered, "Hey Wormtail."
The train started moving and after a few minutes, Sirius noticed that James was looking straight ahead and was for once, not talking!
Because this was so extraordinarily rare, Sirius asked him, "What're you thinking, mate?" (hehe I luv how they say "mate")
"Well..." said James.
"It's Lily, isn't it?" piped in Lupin.
"This is the last chance I get to get her to like me," began James. He sighed and said, "She hates me, doesn't she."
Do you really want us to answer that?" asked Peter. Sirius glared at him.
"I need some way to get her attention. I'm just not getting her interested in me."
"HA!" laughed Wormtail. "Sorry mate, but that's not your problem. You are getting her attention. It's just the wrong kind of attention you are getting."
James looked confused. Then, he had the look of one with an idea. "Hey! Sirius, you seem to get a lot of girls don't you?"
"Well..." said Sirius, slicking back his hair with his fingers.
"And Lupin, you don't get called a git or a twirp or any of the other things Lily calls me by anyone, do you"
"Er, I guess not..." answered Remus.
"And Wormtail, You...um..." began James. Peter was waiting for the rest of the sentence, but it couldn't be finished.
"What's your point?" asked Sirius.
"Well, maybe you guys can help me get Lily to like me." Said James.
"I don't know about that..." said Lupin. "I mean, you get lots of girls, just not Lily. It's not a problem you have about getting girls to like you, it's just the fact that, I dunno, maybe you and Lily aren't supposed to be together-"
"Of coarse we are!!" said James in almost a yell.
"Er...I guess we could try to give you some advice." Said Sirius.
"Great. You guys seem to know a lot more about what I'm doing wrong than I do." Said James.
"Okay, I don't know if I can be much help, but I guess I can try to help." Said Moony.
They all looked at Peter, who said, "Whatever, I guess I can help out too."
"Right, thanks guys." Said James.
