James Potter had it all: the looks, the brains, the jokes, and the charm –at least in his mind. So when Lily Evans turned down his offer for a date, he was completely dumbfounded. Who in their right mind would say no to him?

She should feel lucky that he ever considered her. Really, he was being rather generous after her known association with a certain greasy-haired Slytherin. He scoffed. There was no way that could have been the reason.

This was Snape they were talking about; better known as Snivellus. If she turned him down over that thing, then she really was a nutcase. Maybe she needed to be locked up in an insane asylum somewhere.

He would just have to teach her a lesson. Maybe once he embarrassed Snape in front of the entire student body (which wouldn't be difficult to do), then she would see how big of a mistake she had made. After all, James was the best catch in the school.

It shocked him to no end how Lily could have been mad at him for lifting Snape upside down and pulling his pants down. The git had the nerve to call her a mudblood after she tried to defend him!

What the hell was so good about him? James was better in every way, and she would do well to learn that before she lost her chance with him all together. He wouldn't wait forever.
