Author's Note: I'm back for another story. Of course…I still haven't finished, If I Could. Well I know that…but…I've gotten sidetracked with some big personal stuff, and while these things are happening, I've come up with a great story idea. I hope you all like it! Please R/R!!!!

Summary: Lily Evans & James Potter are least likely couple. They've hated each other since the 1st year. Lily claims that she'd never fall in love with a stranger, but what happens when she thinks she does, but really she has known him for 7 years.

Disclaimer: Once and again, I do NOT own any of these characters. They all belong to the wonderfully talented, J.K Rowling! If you don't recognize any other characters…then I made them up. Get that? Okay.

Now onto the first chapter…

Escape

Chapter 1.

Lily Evans, fell down onto her bed with a loud thump. She ripped the envelope, in her hands, into a million pieces, but carefully so that she didn't harm the delicate piece of parchment inside. Her hands fumbled with the sticker that held the piece into a tight square. She cursed herself, as she ripped the letter almost in half. She finally got the parchment in a readable way and read:

Dear Tiger, (a/n: Tiger is what he knows her as. Tiger Lily, Get the idea?)

Hello there. I thought you'd never write back to me. It was a week since your last letter, and I was worried that you'd forgotten to write me. I couldn't wait any longer, so I wrote you instead. You do have a beautiful owl you know? You said that her name was Aurora. Did you name her from that muggle book, Sleeping Beauty? I was just curious because my little sister absolutely loves that story. She once insisted that we called her Aurora, instead of her real name Lori. Oh no, I think I've said too much. I know that we agreed to keep our personal info private, but I guess that one just slipped.

You said in your last letter that you had totally given up on men. Haha, I could probably guess why. Most men are pretty insensible. Or in your words, "egotistical-morons". I hope that doesn't include me. But most 17 year old men, seem to all be that way. I'm almost positive of that. I think I just put down my own self! See what you do to me, Tiger? You make me completely senseless. Well I must be going. I have Potions homework for Professor Snape tonight. Just as you do. I have him for two classes tomorrow, because he insisted that our house was completely menacing as he put it.

Your Friend,

Prongs

Lily laid there in complete amusement, but something then struck her rather odd. He had said that he had to stay for two classes in Potions. Only Gryffindor had to do that tomorrow! She couldn't believe that her mystery "owl-friend" was a GRYFFINDOR! She thought about the past three months and her letters to and from him. They'd become good friends, and they'd probably would've gotten closer if they only knew who each other was.

She got up off her bed, and got down on the floor, and reached under her bed. She pulled out a medium sized wooden box. Lily reached for her necklace on her neck. She took the key, hanging from it, and unlocked the box. Hundreds of envelopes filled up the small box. She placed the newest envelope inside, and quickly shut the box, when she heard people coming up the steps.

The 7th year, Girls Dormitory's door, swung open. Lily's three best friends, Claire, Natalie, and Emily burst into the room.

"Hey, Lils. Are you ready to go down to the Great Hall, and get some dinner?" Emily asked as she plopped down onto her bed.

"Yes, just a minute." Lily replied, and shoved the box back under her bed.

"Lil, what's with you and that sacred box? Show us what's in it!" Claire exclaimed with a beseeching tone.

"N-no! It's my box, and I'll keep it to myself!" Lily replied, and walked over to her dressing table. She pulled out her brush, and brushed her long red hair.

"Please???" Claire begged.

"No, Claire! That box is what a diary is to you. I never ask to read yours, so why do you ask to see mine!"

"Oh, fine then Lily! I don't know what has gotten into you lately! You with your huffed up attitude. We were just asking."

"Well then don't ask again!" Lily shot back. Her hot headed temper got the best of her. She grabbed her bag, and stormed out of the dormitory.

Lily walked into the Great Hall, and found her seat at the Gryffindor table. She threw her bag under the table, and sat down. She reached across the table to grab the last roll, but a hand stopped her.

"Miss Evans, don't you know too much carbohydrates, can make you gain weight! Tisk Tisk on you!" She heard a familiar voice say.

"Oh shut up, Potter!" She retorted. She looked up, and their eyes met. She glared at him, and snatched up the roll.

"Hey! That roll is mine!" James Potter yelled.

"Well, take your own advice Potter. You wouldn't want this starchy potato roll, messing with that cute pretty boy face of yours would you?" Lily replied as she smothered butter onto her roll.

"Are you calling me 'cute', Evans?" James replied with a grin across his face.

"Oh please." Lily said rolling her eyes.

"I always knew you thought I was devishly hot." James said taking a drink of his pumpkin juice.

"Oh how did you know, James?" Lily said smiling flirtatiously at him.

James's heart started beating against his chest faster then it ever had.

"W-well…" James started.

"You know what?" Lily started. "Since you're sooo hot, I'm sure you can melt this butter, because mine seems to be a bit cold!" With that she took her roll, which has an excessive amount of butter on it, reached across the table, and wiped it across James's face.

Sirus Black and Remus Lupin who were sitting beside James, and listening to the whole conversation, burst out laughing.

"Nice talking to you James." Lily stood up and left the Great Hall.

Sirus holding sides, because he was laughing so hard, handed James a napkin to wipe off the butter.

"J-J-James…she got you good that t-time." He said between fits of laughter.

James glared at him.

"What good friends you guys are!" James got up, and huffed out of the Hall.

Sirus turned to Remus.

"Moony, I bet you 10 galleons he'll end up falling for that Miss Evans."

"Your on, Padfoot." Remus replied, and bit into his steak.
