Chapter 1 –

Lily's POV

If you think you are ordinary enough, that's because you have never met me. I mean it. Well, except for maybe one or two things. I'm a witch, but i've been a witch for years and in the world I live, everyone is also magical; And the second thing would be the colour of my hair, eyes and skin: my hair is really red, my eyes are really green and about my skin, let's just say that if i'm standing in front of a white wall, you would see a flying ginger wig. Basically, I'm just me, nothing too important. For now, at least. I may be getting the post of Head Girl next year, but I still can't see why would that make me less ordinary.

Enough rambling about my ordinariness, I'll now summarize the last years of my life so you can understand what's going on and why only now I've decided to write about it. So, 0 to 10 and a half, I was just Lily. Lily with her sister Petunia (who now hates me), Lily that could do weird things happen, Lily that was a straight A student. Then, this letter arrived out of nowhere saying I was a witch and that I could go to some sort of school in which I would learn how to develop my skills, we first thought it was a random joke but it turned out to be true, so 11 – nowadays, I go to Hogwarts, the witchcraft school, and that's when things started getting really messed up inside my big fiery head.

People there in general are really fun, if you forget about the slytherins, so it wasn't harder than usual making friends, since I was never really good at it (not a problem though). The real problem was a group that called themselves "Marauders" (how stupid is that?). Okay, it's unfair to say the whole group is a problem. They are formed by four friends: Remus Lupin, whom is actually one of my best friends; Peter Pettigrew, whom I don't really have a strong opinion about; Sirius Black, who's a jerk, but still pretty funny and cool to be around; and last but definitely not least, James Potter.

James Potter has basically been the roots of all my problems since I stepped on the Hogwarts Express. He's the worst person one could ever meet, but I seem to be the only person who thinks that (except for Snape and his mates – but who even cares?) and can see that. One could think it's unfair to judge someone that badly, but Mr Potter here gives me every reason to do such thing. He pranks each and every person he knows because he's bored with his own lame life, he brags about being the best quidditch player Hogwarts ever had, which he probably is, but no need to brag about it all the time, he keeps messing his own hair, which is already pretty messy, because he thinks it's cute to look like he just got out of a broom, and now the main annoying thing: he asks me out about fifty times per day since third year.

It wouldn't be bad if I was part of the James Potter fan club, but since i'm not, it just makes me sick. Worst part of it all is that even my friends have fallen for that, I mean, they really think Potter loves likes me. How absurd is that? They claim he doesn't even flirt with every girl anymore because of me.

It all started back in the middle of our third year with a bet with Black about being able to go out with any girl they wanted, Black said Potter could never go out with me and then my life became living hell. I kept saying no, of course, and when I found out it was all because of a stupid bet, I swore I would really never go out with that git. And of course I'm succeeding. If it wasn't already bad enough that he asks me out tons of time, everyone I'm fond of gives me the same stupid speech (with tiny variations): "You were the only one that said no, and what was just a game became quite messed up with feelings and, well, he is, as a matter of fact, in love with you". And some of them even complement with "as you can see, he doesn't even asks you out that much now, he just tries because he's got hope". And although that might be true (that he sort of stopped asking me out fifty times per day), the day I agree with that and let myself fall in love with him will be the day Dumbledore will fall for the giant squid.

Now enough with all that boring thing, and on with what's happening right now with my life, which is me going downstairs with my trunk and all my stuff so I can go back to my second home.

"I'm ready"

"Okay, let's go then" – My father would be taking me this year since my mom would be going shopping with Petunia because my dear sister was going to get married, believe it or not.

My father left me in front of the wall that would lead me to the platform and kissed me goodbye, and then I entered my world, as fast as I could and..

BAMPT

Lily down. Damn it. Way to start the second period of my sixth year.

"Oh my god I'm so sor-" Bah-ha. Guess who. "Oh. You." Potter. Now that's a good start.

"Uhm- Hey, Lils.." Lils? Who does he think he is? "Let me help you with that." And before I could even stop him (I was getting up, what can I do if I'm just too slow?) he started getting my things, and by the time I got to my feet, it was all ready to be taken to the train. "There, sorry again." He then smiled shyly and headed to the train. Simply as that. What. The. Hell.

Not that I'm complaining, but he didn't even try to have a conversation, and that's really un-potter-like. But whatever, I got inside the train headed to the prefects compartment, had the usual meeting, then headed to my friends' usual compartment. All usual.

"Hey girls!"

"Lils!" All four of them shouted as I came inside and greeted me with a killing hug.

"How was your Christmas break?" I started as I settled myself.

"Great, Frank took me to meet his family!" That was Alice, she was dating Frank Longbottom, and things seems to be getting pretty serious.

"Mine too, only the fact of not having to worry about school work already makes it perfect" That was Mary, my best friend, the laziest one of the group.

"Sirius and James invited me over, so it ended up being real fun" Marlene said, she had just lost her parents, they were murdered by some death eaters. She was also really good friends with Black and Potter.

"Black and Potter?" I asked incredulously.

"Oh come on, Lils. They're not those annoying jerks, they've really grown up" Now was Emmeline. "I spent Christmas with them as well because of my parents, the boys have changed drastically."

"Yeah, right." They gave me odd looks but ignored me, they knew I wouldn't just accept it without fighting. Just in time to avoid that, the food trolley arrived and we spent the rest of the journey eating, talking and exchanging our Christmas presents.

James' POV

The only words I'm gonna say about my last years concerning Lily are: I was a complete jerk.

This break I had probably one of the biggest conversations of my life with my dad about how he ended up marrying my mom, since she once told me she couldn't stand him. This talk made me realize something obvious, that was the key to Lily's heart, if there was still a chance for me.

One would think you have to be romantic and all that stuff, but Lily's not romantic at all, and neither am I. Not that kind of romantic that makes you puke, at least. My conclusion was that I had to show her that I'm a cool guy, and that would be hard, but it was definitely a best shot than asking her out every five minutes.

How stupid was I that I hadn't concluded that before? But whatever, new year, new me, new everything. We had an year and a half ahead and a lot could happen and –

"Oi! Prongs! Will you please be social and talk to us? What happened to you anyway that got you back to "philosopher mode"?" Sirius asked just to mock me, because he already knew what was the only thing that could make me go to that "mode".

"Lils ran over me when she was entering the platform. I started the thing about not being a jerk."

"And I think it might be working" Remus started. "I saw what happened and Lils had quite an astonished face before you left."

Who knows? This thing might actually work after all.

A/N: Hey! This is my first fanfic and I really do hope you guys are enjoying it! It might be a bit boring but I swear it will get better, it's just the first chapter after all! Basically, every chapter will go this way, Lily's POV and James' POV, I believe it's always nice to know both sides of the story.

But that's it, review so I can know what you think about it, give me opinions, and again, I really hope you guys like it!

See you!
