Never Could Happen
Disclaimer: I don't own the Marauders, Lily, or Snape. I made up most of the others.
A/N: That's right, I'm writing a L/J love/hate fic. The reason? Honestly? Well, I've seen a lot of bad L/J love/hate fics out there in the fandom and thought that I could write a better one. I was also bored. Truthfully, it's not hard to be better than some of the fics I've seen out there. I promise, at the very least, to be grammatically correct. This is just another possibility of how Lily and James got together. It's more from James' PoV rather than Lily's. Well, here goes, please tell me what you think.
Chapter 1: Hello, My Name is Prongs and I hate Lily Evans
That's right, I hate Lily Evans. Well, maybe strong dislike is more accurate. I can't really say that I hate anyone, except maybe Severus Snape. And my name isn't really Prongs. I mean, could you imagine anyone's parents actually naming them Prongs? I can't. My best friend gave me that nickname. My real name is James Potter.
My best friend, who gave me that nickname (I'll explain later), is named Sirius Black, but we call him Padfoot. Padfoot says that journals are for girls. I don't agree, I think it's nice to have a place to write down my thoughts. Plus, when I'm older, I can look back and have a book full of memories of my days as a Marauder. Too bad that Aunt Sophie didn't give me this journal until my sixteenth birthday. Hopefully a lot will happen this year for me to write down, and there's always next year. Still, it would have been nice to have a place to write down everything that has happened to me so far in my five years at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That's right, I'm a wizard. Pretty smashing, isn't it?
Last year was probably the best year ever. My other friend Remus, called Moony, said it was probably our most dangerous. I told him that it was impossible to tell since we still had two more years to go. He just shook his head and said, "I don't know if we could top last year, Prongs." He was subtly reminding me of the circumstances behind my getting that nickname. You see, last year we became Animagi.
You can't tell anyone, because, of course, we're illegal Animagi. It took us three years to figure out how to do it, but finally we succeeded. We can all transform into an animal at will. Well, Sirius, Peter, and I can; Remus is a werewolf and the whole reason we became Animagi. Who's Peter you ask? Peter's the other Marauder. He can become a rat and we call him Wormtail. Sirius can become a dog and I transform into a stag. It's wicked.
Sirius, Remus, Peter, and I are known as the Marauders. We are the best practical joke- pullers at Hogwarts. We're all in Gryffindor and most of our jokes are played on Slytherins. The bunch of slimy gits. Unfortunately, Lily Evans is also a Gryffindor. That brings me back to my original point.
Lily Evans. I really can't stand her. She's completely full of herself, and she thinks she's so smart. She's very snobby and she doesn't like Quidditch. Can you imagine that? Someone who doesn't like Quidditch? I think she's out of her mind. I'm a Chaser on the Gryffindor team and I think I have a good chance of becoming Captain next year. I'm also a Prefect, which is amazing considering the number of detentions I've had in just five years. I think that this year is going to be great. I can't say detention free because that's just not possible. Just think of how the Slytherins would gloat if I didn't play pranks on them?
Snape is a Slytherin and I think I actually hate him. He's a small, little, pathetic, greaseball. He's constantly trying to get me into trouble. I think he hates me too. We have a twisted relationship. He's usually the main target of my practical jokes. I can never get tired of seeing him some to breakfast with pink robes and 'I am an ugly git' tattooed on his forehead. Sirius hates him, too. Sirius is a great pal. He always has a way to cheer me up if I'm blue. Sometimes literally, when Evans gets it into her head to have revenge. I hate to admit it, and I really do, but she's actually smart. If she wasn't such a bitch, then I wouldn't have a problem!
Sigh. So there you go, an insight into the world of James Potter. Now let me tell you my story. This is my sixth year in it's entirety. I hope you enjoy, and Sirius, if you're reading this then I promise to curse you!
