Chapter 1.
James Potter was watching Lily Evens from across the lake. She was sitting with a friend and they were both laughing hysterically about something. James sighed and glanced over at Sirius Black who was lying in the grass beside him.
"How do I get her?" he asked him
"Well prongs to tell you the truth, I don't think she's that into you,"
James groaned and went back to watching lily who at that moment, glanced his way. She blushed and hid behind her flaming red hair.
"You know prongs," Sirius said slowly "I think I could have been wrong about Evens not being into you."
James grinned at him and said "You know I think your right,"
James stood up and headed towards lily who was leaving her friends side.
"Evens!" James called "HEY EVENS!"
Lily turned around and frowned at him "what do you want potter"
James ruffled his hair and said one word "you"
Lily stared at him for a moment before turning away, "I don't know what you're talking about James Potter!"
"Come on Lily go out with me! I know you want to," he teased.
Lily blinked at him "I know very well and so do you that I would never go out with you! Not after all that's happened with Severus!"
"So that's what's stopping you! Snivellus! I don't get you Evens! He called you a you-know-what and you still choose him over me!"
"He's my friend okay!"
"I don't know why you call that thing a friend!"
"Why don't you just go away Potter?"
"You know what I will!"
"Good!"
"And I'll have a better one than you and your beloved Snivellus becoming death eaters together!"
"HE'S MY FRIEND! MY FRIEND OKAY! DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?"
Hot tears were now spilling down her face and she furiously brushed them away.
"Lily im sorry," James began
" No I don't care anymore! Just leave me alone!"
Lily ran to the common room and slammed the fat lady portrait in his face.
" well really!" said the fat lady annoyed
James sunk to the ground and groaned. Suddenly he saw a pair of familiar shoes next to his own.
" I see the chat with Evens didn't go to well," Sirius Black joked
" seriously padfoot im not in the mood, where are moony and wormtail anyway,?"
"That is a good question, come on I've got an idea ," Sirius jumped up dragging James with him " You wait here , I'll be right back" Sirius Quickly said the password to the Fat Lady , ran inside and came back with James invisibility cloak.
James grinned "okay where are we going"
"you'll see."
James and Sirius ran through Hogwarts until they reached the Womping willow.
" Wigardium Leviosa," James whispered
A stick then rose and tapped the not at the base of the tree. Sirius slipped through the entrance quickly followed by James. Soon they were in a circular room with two other boys.
"Padfoot, Prongs we were wondering where you'd got to ," Remus Lupin , Laughed
"Yea well Moony we could say the same to you guys!" James tackled Remus to the ground jokingly. Sirius glanced at the other boy in the room " Hey moony what's up with wormtail?"
Peter Pettigrew was laying in a corner his face white.
"Snape" Lupin replied, his jaw tightening "Snape hit him with some unknown spell, I've been trying to find the counter curse all afternoon, had to drag him down here before we caused too much commotion."
With the name 'Snape', James went and sat in the corner next to Peter and swore numerous times.
"We need to do something about Snape, something big, something to make Lily realise that she likes me! Not him! And he's just a big overgrown bat!"
Sirius came over to James and said "mate, do really think that if you do something to Snape, Evens is gonna like you?"
James stayed silent until Lupin handed him a dirty bottle of Butterbeer, when he muttered "thanks"
Lupin and Sirius glanced at each other, neither of them had ever seen James so down.
Suddenly Sirius grinned.
"What's so funny Padfoot" Lupin asked
"well I just had a thought." Sirius replied still grinning to himself
"Care to share?" James put in
"well, we can still do something to Snape…Only he doesn't need to know who it was and neither does evens."
James looked at Sirius obviously confused, until he realised what Sirius was saying.
" I think its times to put the old cloak to some use , don't you think guys?"
" Couldn't of said it better myself," grinned Lupin
