"Potter just stay the hell away from me... and DON'T touch me" she huffed
angrily. Let go of him and walked away with
her two friends Charlie Peterson and
"Ernie" Avi. They followed he only
after apologizing to James for her hot
temper.
"Nah don't worry about it she'll come around" he said in an 'I'm so good
everyone bow to me" tone. Ernie burst
out laughing on the scene but Charlie
quickly hurried him to Lily.
"FROG-BRAIN!" Lily shouted at the poor Fat Lady.
"Err sorry" Charlie apologized and rushed in after Lily, Ernie wasn't far
behind them.
"I-HATE-JAMES-POTTER!" Lily huffed as she plopped down into a big grey
squishy
chair in front of the fire after three first
years scurried away obviously
afraid she'd do what she did last time....
she had turned poor Greg Albott in a
mocking-bird.
"What did he do this time?" asked her best friend Louise Finnigan who had
sat
down next to her.
Lily launched into the explanation... "I was walking with Charlie and Ernie
to
Professor Binn's classroom to ask him about
my grade. When Potter and the
Morons walk by. Potter grabs me around
the wrist as I walk nicely by..."
"NICELY MY ASS" shouted Ernie looking astonished "You tried to kick him
where
the sun don't shine he grabbed your wrist
out of fear"
"Ahem ANYWAY" Ernie's mouth snapped shut "I tried to get out of his grasp
but I
couldn't he pushed me up against the wall...
so out of self defense I grabbed
his arm and twisted his arm and pushed him
against the wall told him to '...stay
the hell away from me and DON'T touch me'
and left.
"Err, wow" Louise said quietly, her velvety black eyes were opened wide.
"Sounds like Potter fancies you" she stifled
a giggle and turned it hastily into
a sneeze. Lily let out a ferocious
roar and stormed up to the 7th year girls
dorm.
Lily was sixteen soon to be seventeen. Tall, thin, freckles splattered
all
over her face, red hair laying softly upon
her shoulders it was obvious why
James would like her... to everyone but
her. She changed into pajamas and
tried to sleep but merely twisted and turned
in her sheets, finally drifting off
into a forced sleep.
In another dormitory James Potter was getting undressed to his bear skivvies.
He too glanced into the mirror to see himself,
strong, well built with black
fly-away hair. He wondered quietly
why Lily Evans hated him with such a burning
passion. "Who knows" he spat bitterly
"who cares" and with that crawled into
bed and fell asleep.
The soft song of a bird awoke Lily the next day. He eyelids fluttered
openly
and she looked up from where she lay.
A bran-owl swooped by on his way to the
Great Hall to deliver a note. Being
Sunday morning all the girls were still
sleeping even though it was well past nine
o'clock. She got up yawned stretched
a little and changed into a pair of running
shorts and a tee-shirt, she pulled a
burgundy sweatshirt over the tee-shirt she
put her hair into a tight ponytail
which fell down to her shoulders.
She grabbed for a tiny cd playing lying near
her bed. She had (with the help of
Professor Telly) charmed it so it would play
in the magical world. She clicked
it on and the raspy voice of Stevie Nicks
pounded in her head. She pulled on
some old running shoes and started out to
the grounds to take her morning jog around
the Quidditch pitch. She hurried out
of the common room and through the portrait
hole.
James Potter woke a little before nine and put on a pair of sweats and
a
tee-shirt, grabbed his broom and headed
for the Quidditch pitch to practice a
bit. He headed for the shed just outside
of the pitch and saw a figure running
toward him. When the stranger got
closer he recognized the red hair and green
eyes. "Lily" he whispered to himself.
He grabbed his broom and launched
himself high above her before she caught
a glimpse of him. He noticed she was
listening to music and heard some of it.
"Fleetwood Mac" he thought. She
stopped for a moment and stretched.
James thought about the first day the
fiery red head had stomped into his life.
**FLASHBACK**
James pulled his cart up to the platform between 9 and 10 just like his
parents
had said. He took a deep breath and
crashed through the barrier. Once inside
he glanced around amazed. His eye
caught Sirius Black his best friend. But e
also saw a red headed girl looking around
anxiously. She was very pretty and he
felt his heart throb. Sirius clapped
a hand to his back and looked to wear he
was looking.
"Ahh got your eye on Evans huh? Well let me tell you she's feisty
that one.
You'll have to fight over her..."
Sirius and Lily were neighbors from the
muggle world, Sirius was muggle-born but
met James at Diagon Alley in July.
Love at first sight so to speak. They
were very much alike, loved trouble and
loved getting into as much as possible.
"I see well oh well" James sad with in a downcast tone and stopped trying
to go
after her rather spent his time bothering
her.
*****
Lily was now doing sprints up and down the pitch. She was fast and
agile
making for a good seeker. James was
a beater with Sirius and very popular with
the girls. It was no problem with
Sirius but James hated it. He liked the
attention but the one girl he liked and
thought about most wasn't in that group
of girls so it was pointless. So girls
stopped throwing themselves to often but
it didn't stop all of them. He did
a flip to get off angry feelings of being
un-loved and headed down to talk to her.
"Why hello!' he shouted to her. She couldn't hear him and couldn't
see him
because he was flying behind her.
"LILY" he shouted again but nothing so he grasped her tiny frame and pulled
her onto the broom and made her face him. She was angry to say the
least. Fuming she ripped the headphones off and looked or rather
glared up at him.
"Potter" she whispered James swore he heard her growl but he didn't care.
He did the opposite of what she had asked and flew up. "PUT ME DOWN"
she screamed.
"No" he said plainly and
looked at her intently. "Why do you hate me?" he asked.
"Put me... wha-?" she
looked at him bewildered.
"Why do you hate me" he
asked again.
"Because your an arrogant
bastard, your in love with yourself!"
"That's not why you hate
me"
"Yes it is"
"Nope"
Yup"
"NOPE!"
"GOD DAMMIT shut up!"
she said quietly. "Can you please put me down?"
"No not until you tell
me why you hate me."
"How 'bout I make it so
you can't have children will that work?" she hissed.
"Alrighty then back down
we go!"
