Would you take a step forward?

"Are you sure you'll be alright dear?" Alice Evans asked her daughter worriedly. Lily Evans smiled; her mother was always like this when Lily left for Hogwarts, full of panic and worry. Her father David Evans, on the other hand, took things a little more lightly.

"Lily! Oh my god I've missed you so so so much!" a voice screamed from behind Lily. It was Lily's best friend Caitlyn. Lily ran up to her and hugged her, saying, "Me too! Come on, lets put our bags on the train. I have sooo much to tell you; France was amaaaaazing!"

As the two teens walked off together, they heard a cocky voice behind them. "Hey Evans, miss me?" Lily knew that voice, she turned round to face him. James Potter was (by far ) the hottest, fittest, most good-looking guy in Hogwarts with jet black hair, tall, lean yet muscular figure and the most gorgeous hazel eyes. They made every girl fall at his feet, well except for Lily.

Lily scanned over his figure briefly before hitting herself mentally. "Focus Lily, this is THE James Potter you've always hated, why are you checking him out?" but a tiny voice whisipered, "Oh come on Lily, look at him! You know you want him...just admit it"

Lily shook her head; she had to admit, James Potter seemed to become more attractive (and hot) each year from their summer holidays. She could literally see his muscles popping out from his shirt!

But then again, it was Potter. She hated him; he was cocky, self-centered, arrogant, egoistic and too full of himself. Everything that she despised.

"But he's undeniably hot." the voice whispered in her mind again. She shook her head again, suddenly wondering where all these thoughts were coming from.

Two fingers clicked infront of her; "Evans, you need to stop dreaming about Jamesie here. It's just becoming sooo obvious" a teasing voice came loudly. Lily jumped, startled then frowned when she saw who it was.

With long, rugged black hair, Sirius Black was the guy every girl in Hogwarts wanted to date. He was good-looking, funny and a total charmer.

"Black, you seriously need to rethink before you say anything. I have and always will hate Potter – there is no chance in hell I'd date him!", Lily held her head up high.

"Is it so? I certainly remember a certain familiar girl having a huge crush on James here in our first year" Sirius teased slyly. Lily blushed; in her first year, for the first month or so, she had a crush on James. But all that had died away when she realized what an insufferable idiot he was, Lily thought to herself.

*Flashback*

A group of 11 year olds come out of the Transfiguration classroom, talking about the new spell they had just learnt.

A petite redhead girl and and a boy with jet-black hair are just two of them. "So what lesson do you have next Evans?" James asks.

Lily blushes and fumbles with her words, "Umm..um I think um I have Charms with Professor um Flitwick"

Next to James, Sirius grins. If James couldn't see that Lily Evans had a crush on him, he was just plain thick in the head.

James smiles charmingly. "Us too! Great, maybe we three can walk there together." He puts an arm round Lily and starts walking with Sirius by his side.

Lily turns a deep red as a huge smile lights up her face.

*End of flashback*

James gaped, "You liked me in our first year, Evans?!"

"Oh get over it Potter! It was only for a month!" With this Lily stormed onto the train with Caitlyn but not before giving Sirius a death glare. Sirius chuckled, "She's got it hard for you mate, she just needs time to show it."

James sighed, "I don't know, she just seems to hate me Padfoot." And with this, James too proceeded onto the train, feeling dejected from Lily's words.

The phrase "I have and always will hate Potter – there's no chance in hell I'd date him" just kept on playing in his mind.
