A/N This is my first Lilly/James story so no flames and only good reviews plz, so enjoy and review! Oh, beware AU!!!

Chapter 1. The Arrogant, Bullying Toe-Rag that is, unfortunately,

James Potter

'Great seventh year, now all I have to worry about is that arrogant, bullying toe-rag, James Potter' Lilly thought to herself lying on her bed in the small town of Godrics Hollow, 'Well better make the best of the hols.'

Now little does she know that her parents had just decided to move.

"We should really tell Lilly and Petunia now, shouldn't we Linden?" Elizabeth Evans asked her husband

"I guess it couldn't hurt, I mean it must be torture having to share a room for almost seventeen years, they'll be glad to move to a house where they can have there own room"

I couldn't think of anything to write for their parents telling them or the actual move so yeah keep reading

"Well we're here" Elizabeth said

"Wow" Lilly exclaimed, it wasn't like her to get all excited about such a small thing like this except it wasn't small at all it was 2 acres.

"And guess what" said a familiar voice, "It's on James St, Lillyville, fate huh?"

This is a real place near Port Stephens

"James Potter?!" Lilly shrieked

"The one and only" he said walking down the steps of his family's house

Petunia smiled smugly "Oh, look the freaks secret admirer" she knew this because she had answered the door on one of the multiple times that James had tried to convince Lilly she liked him.

"Shut Up, Tuney, at least he's better looking than Vernon, though not by much" snarled Lilly,

"Coming from you I'll take that as a compliment" said James grinning broadly

"Don't take anything from me as a compliment" Lilly shot back

"Fine" he said walking back up the steps to his house and giving her a small wink before sliding around the door.

"Could anything be worse than having James Potter as your neighbour?" Lilly asked her tabby cat Tabitha in her new room surrounded by packing boxes

"Meow" meowed Tabitha obviously listening to her intently

"You're right, living with him would be much worse"

She walked over to the phone and called one of her friends

"Hello..?"

"Oh Mrs. Haydon it's Lilly, is Jennifer there?"

"Yes she is, would you like to speak to her?"

"Yeah please"

"I'll put her on straight away"

After a few minutes of Jennifer get your but down here and coming mum she herd a familiar voice say

"Hello..?"

"Jennifer I thought I'd never get to you it's Lilly!"

"Oh, Lilly thank god I thought you'd disappeared somewhere"

"Look, I was wondering if I could come over 'cause it's living hell over here 'cos we just moved in and yeah it's really hectic, so what do ya say?"

"Sure, Lils come over as soon as you can"

"Great! See ya"

As soon as she ended the call she grabbed a jacket and slipped on a pair of red pumps and ran downstairs and out the door without a word of explanation to her parents who were to busy to notice her because they were running around unpacking everything.

A/N Well there it is the first chapter, yes I know it's short but there it is.
