Wake Up, Mr. Potter!
James Potter sat in his seventh year transfiguration class, staring at Lily Evans.
James had everything he ever needed...he had girls, money, the best friends any seventeen year old boy could have. What else could he possibly need?
Lily Evans, that's what. Why wouldn't she go out with him?! Any girl would die for a chance to get to date The James Potter. But not Lily. She hated him. She was different. Why didn't she like him though?
Was it his hair?...She always did get annoyed when he rumpled his hair...That might be it! But no...all girls loved his hair...that couldn't be it....
Maybe it was his snitch....No, why would she not go out with him because of a stupid snitch? That just wasn't reasonable. But she always did get mad whenever he had the snitch out...But that couldn't be it! For Christ sake! It was just a snitch! He was on the quidditch team, so why couldn't he have a stupid snitch?!
Maybe it's Sirius...No! No way! Who wouldn't like Sirius? Besides, he wouldn't give up Sirius just to get a chance to be with Lily!
It can't be Remus or Peter, either...Well, maybe Peter, but...
Was it the way he looked? Did Lily not like him because of how he looked?... No! Definitely not! EVERYBODY liked how he looked! Well, just the girls.... hopefully.
Maybe it was because of the girlfriends he had...Yeah! That's it! But, he liked having girlfriends...Lily should understand that... Every guy likes to have girlfriends... Well, most, at least... We don't want to get into guys like that guy who always stares at James during class...In fact, he was staring at him right now... creepy...
So, what didn't she like about him? He remembered all those times he talked to her...
"James Potter! You are so arrogant!"
"Potter! You're such a git!"
"You're just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter."
"I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid,"
"Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off with that stupid Snitch, walking down corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you just because you can – I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me Sick."
"James...Why do you do this stuff?...Why can't you just be different?...Not totally different, just stop what you're doing and shrink that big head of yours...You would be ok..."
That's it! He should just stop the annoying things he does and he'll get to be with her...Wow, he never knew that the stuff he did was annoying...It was just for fun...
Now he'll get her! Finally! From this point on – no wait, he was planning to do a really good prank on Snape tonight – so, from tomorrow on, he'll be a changed man... For Lily...
"Wake up, Mr. Potter!" Professor McGonagall said, sternly, to James. James grinned and looked at her. "Yes, Minnie!" Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes and went back to telling the class about how to turn a piece of grass into a tree.
He would have her and she would be his girlfriend, and they'd get married, and they'll have kids and they'll grow old and toothless together, and...
Once again he started staring at Lily, except this time with a grin on his face. He started to daydream once again.
This time Lily caught him and mouthed 'What?!' with an annoyed look on her face.
James shook his head and turned back to McGonagall.
Soon...soon...
