Summary: Lily hates James. James loves Lily. Jasmine loves James and will do whatever it takes to get him. Robert loves a challenge and doesn't pay attention to who may get hurt in the process. Based on How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.

Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter. I also have fairy wings and can fly. Yeah I'm not J. K. Rowling. It's a fanfiction and I make no profit from it.

A/N: Okay please be patient with me on this fic as I've never posted anything other than a one-shot so I'm still getting used to uploading the documents and adding chapters. Throughout this fic chapters vary in size (normally between 1-6 pages on Microsoft word). This story is almost complete so there should not be a long wait between chapters. Anyway I hope you enjoy the fic.

Melissa Miller's eyes scanned the last line of the parchment she held within her hands. Tears were forming in her eyes as she finished reading this story of a battle for true love.

"Lily this is so sweet. God this book is amazing. All you need now is a publisher."

"I work my butt off for this book and for what? It's never gonna get published." Lily Evans said as she flung herself backwards on her bed.

"Hey keep working your butt off. You're gonna get there. Anyway you know that lad in Ravenclaw that you have been seriously flirting with? Well he handed something to me to pass on to you this morning."

"Ooh what? What is it?"

"Here."

Melissa handed Lily a small single envelope and Lily almost shrieked with delight as she opened it.

"Oh my god. This Friday will be the best night ever!"

"Why what happens on Friday night?"

"Only the best show of athletic competition known to mankind!"

"Dancing?"

"No silly. The quidditch league finals and I got tickets. You have to come with me Mel."

"Ok but I am not dolling up for some drunken guy to start flirting with us."

"Hey a couple of drinks before the game and you'll be singing a different tune."

"Hey we're going to get the train in 5 minutes. Where's Bethany?" Rebecca Sullivan asked as her head slipped through the gap between the dorm door and its frame.

"10 to 1 she's wallowing about that date from the other night."

"I'll get her. You two get her things ready and we'll meet you at the doors."

"Okay Lily."

"Hey mate! You ready to go!"

"Yeah sure Pads."

"You okay Prongs?"

"Yeah I'm just thinking."

"Well…just don't strain yourself."

"Hey I resent that!"

James Potter and Sirius Black began play-fighting which mostly involved rubbing their knuckles across each other's heads as they were forced into headlocks.

"Oi! Children!" Remus Lupin shouted as he saw his best friends play-fighting yet again

"What Moody?"

"The train is leaving soon and we're gonna be late."

"Well let's get going then."

"How you feeling Bethany?"

"I'll be okay Mel. I just need a little time to get over it." Bethany Rivers said with her head hung down trying to hide her puffy red eyes.

"It was one date Beth."

"So! Just because I can express my emotions better than you Becca!"

"Ok…let's not argue now and just get on the train."

"Sure." The others answered Lily in unison. They'd rather not bother with her motherly attitude

Okay not the most wonderful start to a fic. I don't really like this chapter but it's just an introduction to the story. It gets better soon, promise.

Love it? Why? Hate it? Why? And hating does not mean flame. Constructive criticism please. Please review.
