This is my first L/J fic, I've wanted to write one for a while, but I could
never think of how to start it or what to put in it. This is what I have so
far, hope everyone likes it. And just remember it's the first chapter,
first chapters always suck. So anyway, I don't own anything, JK Rowlings
owns everything. Byez, please review!

Lily looked across the table. "Go fish!"
"Wrong game Lily." Sirius said, looking up from the chessboard that Lily and James were playing on.
"Well, you know what I mean. Besides, I've played the game like, what, once?!" Lily said in defense.
"Yeah, we have to give her some slack." James said as he moved his queen. "Checkmate." He had a triumphant smile on his face.
"Its no use, I can't do it." came a voice from the other side of the little room. It was Peter Pettigrew.
"It's okay Peter, it took the rest of us a long time to master it too. Don't worry, it will come, just keep practicing." Lily said to him.
Lily, James, and Sirius were all unregistered animagus'. Their other friend, Lupin, was a werewolf, and they only learned to be animagus' to be with him when he was in werewolf state.
It would have been only them, but Lily saw poor Peter Pettigrew. He was always following the group, wanting to be a part of it. She convinced the boys that it was only fair that they give him a chance.
James was convinced right off the bat. Everyone knew he had a thing for Lily except, well, Lily.
Lupin just went with the flow and said it was all right, but he was cautious about letting Peter know about his secret.
Sirius, on the other hand, was much harder to convince. He didn't want to open his circle to Peter. For some reason Sirius didn't trust Peter. Sirius thought that Peter just wanted to hang with them to get some attention. He consented finally, but he still didn't show Peter any respect.
"Well, Peter, if you cant get it down by tomorrow, I guess you cant come with us. So sorry." Sirius said, the last part in a sarcastic tone.
Lily turned on her heel to face Sirius. She gave him the evil eye and turned back to Peter to help him.
James couldn't help it. He laughed. Only when Sirius socked him with a pillow did he stop.
They were all in a secret room that they found out a couple of weeks ago. A house elf told them about it. He called it 'the requirement room' and no one else knew except a few other house elves.
It was the perfect place to get away from everyone, to practice their transformations and such. Plus, since Sirius and James were two of the most popular boys, they got distracted a lot from people giving their attention to them.
Lily unconsciously rubbed her necklace between her fingers. It was a necklace that James had given her last Christmas. It was a cat on a beautiful silver chain.
The cat symbolized Lily. That is what Lily turned into when she transformed. James was a stag, and Sirius was a dog.
"So Moony, you seem quiet tonight, what's up?" Sirius said to Lupin.
They had given each other nicknames. Lupin was Moony, James was Prongs, Sirius was Padfoot, and Lily was Paws. It was sort of a gift once they mastered becoming animagus'. Peter had to be able to transform before he could get a name.
"Oh, nothing, just thinking." Lupin said.
"Well, this is quite boring, so I think I am going to head off to bed." Sirius said, right before a yawn. " I think I'll come too." Lupin said.
"Oh, its no use. I can't do anything tonight. I'm turning in too." And with that Peter left to try and catch up with Sirius and Lupin.
It was just Lily and James.
"So, just leave me then! Yeah, sure I'll clean up! Don't worry about it!" Lily yelled at the door. James laughed. She turned around and registered that James was still in the room.
"I thought you had already turned in." "Nope, been here, just quiet." "Which is such a change for you and all." "No kidding. Here, let me help you."
"Thanks Prongs." Lily said, starring at James. He looked into her eyes, trying to search for something, a hint, a clue, anything that would tell her feelings. Nothing. She pulled away and started to throw empty soda cans in the trash.
James sighed and he too started putting things away.
Once they were done cleaning they started heading for the common room. James had to ask her, it was perfect, one out of the few times his other friends weren't there.
"Lily?" James said, stopping. Lily stopped walking. "What is it James?" she asked. He took her hands. "Lily, you know I- no, never mind." He walked away.
Lily was deeply confused. She ran up to him and made him stop by putting her hands firmly on his shoulders. "What is it James, you know, you can tell me anything."
"You don't get it do you? You haven't gotten it for two years, and I don't think you will ever understand. I'm sorry." James looked at her. She was so beautiful with her strawberry hair. It was all messy and she instinctively brushed it behind her ear.
"Well, if you tell me James, then maybe I will understand."
"Why do you think it is always me who waits for you, who always asks you to play wizards chess or a card game with you. Why do you think it is always me who asks you for homework help? Am I giving you any clues?" James asked.
Lily smiled and blushed. "Yes. Yes, I will go to the ball with you James Potter."
James' mouth dropped. Lily, still smiling, kissed him on the cheek and left him in the hallway to figure things out alone.
