Summary: James is totally infatuated with Lily. She secretly likes James but often tells him to bugger off afraid of ruining their friendship. What happens when two of their friends try to set them up: utter chaos when Peter gets involved.
--Chapter One--
"Lady Lily!" James exclaimed.
Lily cowered behind her two friends as James bulldozed his way in her direction. Lily's face was growing red from embarrassment and her friends were laughing their asses off.
"Don't let him threw" Lily said meekly to her two friends.
The two girls jumped out of the way. It was either that or suffer the consequences of being thrown half way across the room, James didn't let anything stand in his way when it came to Lily.
"Lily Flower, I missed you!" James said grabbing her and bringing her into a tight hug. He proceeded to pick her up and spin her around in circles.
James was completely head of heels in love with Lily. She was beautiful with curly locks of silky red hair that smelled of vanilla. Her eyes were two emeralds placed on a porcelain flawless face. They sparkled constantly there was never not a twinkle radiating from her enchanting eyes. Lily was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid his eyes upon, she was perfect.
"James put me down" Lily demanded.
"But love, I haven't seen you all summer" James replied sounding hurt. He set her down so that her feet were firmly planted on the ground.
"James Potter, let go of me right now!" Lily said hotly. Sure he had put her down but he still had his arms wrapped around her waist, hers not his.
"Nope" he replied smugly tightening his grip "not till you promise to go on a date with me."
"Oh bugger! A little help from the peanut gallery, please" Lily pleaded to the five people that were literally rolling around on the ground laughing.
"You are on your own Lils" Sirius replied a twinkle in his chocolate brown eyes. His hairy was a rich chocolaty brown spiked in an unruly sort of way. No one dared get in James way when it came to Lily, he was relentless in his pursuit of her.
"Come on Lils, what have you got to loose" James pleaded not taking his hands off of her.
"Oh bloody hell, James-don't make me call you-Potter. Take your bloody hands off of me" Lily said wriggling free of his grip.
"Lily we are meant to be together" James replied kissing her on the forehead "but I won't push you, for now..anyway."
James let go of Lily then turned to their group of friends "Rayne-Sapphire nice to see you two" James said smiling at Lily's two best friends.
"What, no hug. I tell you, Fire, always the innocent bystander never the receiver of hugs" Rayne said in mock hurt.
Rayne Figg and Sapphire Figg were twin sisters, daughters of Arabella Figg. Both girls had sapphire eyes. Rayne had long sleek caramel brown hair while Sapphire had long wavy honey blonde hair. It was a mystery to most that the two girls were born with different hair color and structure.
"I see your point, Storm" Sapphire replied shaking her head in disappointment.
"I will swap ya any time" Lily said outraged "you can have him."
"James is all yours, Lils" Rayne and Sapphire replied quickly. In their eyes James was a complete nut because of his obsession with Lily and his quest to prove his undying love.
"Hey!" James replied "I am not that bad."
"Thanks a lot, I thought you were supposed to be my friends" Lily retorted then muttered "not bad, my ass."
"And a fine ass it is" James remarked tilting his head to the side to get a better view.
"POTTER! Your eyes better not be focusing in on that general direction!" Lily screamed hitting him upside the head.
"Ow!"
"You could do worse" Remus added feeling slightly sorry for James. Remus had sandy brown hair flecked with gold and silky warm gray eyes.
"Yeah, Snape could be the one chasing after your heart." Sirius put in a grimace on his face as he thought about it, clearly disgusted at the idea.
"Ugh!" the three girls replied, shivering in disgust.
"Did you have to mention that, Padfoot?" James asked grimacing as well.
"I was only trying to make a point" Sirius replied matter-of-factly.
"Point taken, let's talk about something else" Lily added.
"Like my undying love for you" James replied wrapping his arms around her waist again.
Lily's face went a deep crimson red. Truth was she did have a slight crush on him but with his reputation it wasn't worth the risk. There wasn't anything not to like about his appearance. He had a mop of messy jet black hair that was always standing up at odd angles. He had intense blue eyes that were always changing from a range of various blues. His face was tanned and charming. He had a body to die for, he was muscular but not overly so.
"Oy Prongs, you are embarrassing the poor girl" Sirius interrupted after seeing the blush creep up on Lily's face.
"Embarrassed, the only one who should be embarrassed is this prat" Lily spat, her face changing back to its normal color. Her embarrassed of James it was laughable, he was only making a fool of himself no one else.
+++++
Lily, Rayne and Sapphire were walking around Diagon Alley getting their school supplies for their (sixth) year of school. Lily had had enough of James and his absurd behavior. She dragged her two friends away from their other friends. James was a terrific friend up until the moment he starts hitting on her.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this" Lily grumbled.
Her two friends had supposedly forgotten to tell her that they were meeting the marauders in the Leaky Cauldron. Lily of course found out upon arrival where James made an ass of himself and Lily.
"What, we said we were meeting some friends" Rayne replied.
"And you didn't ask who" Sapphire added.
"Therefore it is your fault" Rayne finished.
"My bloody fault if I had known I wouldn't have gone, one can only handle so much of Mister James Potter. He is absolutely nutters thinking that I am to believe one word that comes out of his mouth. They are lies all lies" Lily ranted to herself.
Lily thought James had always been joking around with her, well not really but it made it easier for her to refuse him. She really liked James but told herself that he would only end up using her then go onto another conquest breaking her heart in the process.
"Lils, why don't you admit it?" Rayne asked stopping Lily in her tracks.
"Admit what?" Lily responded looking worriedly at Rayne.
"That you like James" Sapphire replied smugly.
"What the bloody hell are you two on? Smelling too much sulfur if you ask me. I do not AND I REPEAT do not like James in any way but platonic" Lily replied seething with anger.
"And I repeat you can't hide your feelings from us" Rayne replied all knowing.
"We can read you like a book" Sapphire added.
"Fine, I like James don't go blabbing to him or the rest of the marauders" Lily replied knowing they weren't going to stop until they got the answers they wanted to hear.
"We won't" the two replied.
"Can we stop talking about James and talk about something much more important" Lily said calmly.
"Quidditch!" Rayne replied excitedly.
"Gossip!" Sapphire replied at the same time.
"Blimey, why do I bother?" Lily asked in defeat. She wasn't a quidditch fanatic like Rayne and she wasn't into gossiping like Sapphire.
+++++
"OI PRONGS, YOU IN THERE?!"
James snapped out of his fantasy about Lily and found his three friends staring at him with grins plastered across all of their faces. They knew where his mind had drifted off too.
"Lady Lily, I presume" Sirius asked mischievously.
"Naturally, who else" Remus replied matter-of-factly.
Lily always told him to leave her alone and give up on his fantasy of them being together because she would see to it that it never happened. James didn't believe this of course he saw the way she blushed when his name was mentioned and the way she would sneak peeks at him when she thought he wasn't looking. James was always looking though.
James only dated other girls because he had hormones to deal with, he was sixteen after all. After a few weeks he would get bored with the girl, no one compared to Lily in his eyes and he doubted no one ever would.
"Lily is perfect, there isn't one flaw about her, she is flawless" James replied dreamily.
"Besides the fact that she won't give you a chance" Peter retorted.
"Always looking on the bright side aren't you Wormtail?" Sirius asked sarcastically.
"Not really, true she may like him but she isn't going to be admitting it anytime soon" Remus remarked. He knew he was walking a thin line but James needed to face reality.
"Give him a break guy's he can't help how he feels" Sirius interjected.
"Thanks Padfoot" James replied smugly at least one of his friends was on his side.
"You're welcome Prongs" Sirius replied just as smugly. He had a plan forming in his head all he needed was help from the other side, that being one of Lily's friends.
"You shouldn't encourage him" Remus said matter-of-factly.
"It isn't healthy" Peter put in.
"Guys this year is going to be different" James replied "I have this feeling this is my year to win the one I love, Lily."
"With some help" Sirius muttered to himself. This year was going to be James year Sirius was going to see to it. Mainly because he was tired of James spacing out every time Sirius tried talking to him, it was becoming rather irritating.
"What was that?" the other three asked him.
"Nothing" Sirius replied "oh, Quidditch" he said running to Quality Quidditch Supplies getting away from their curious gazes. Remus may help but the less who knew of his plan the better all he needed was one of her friends. Either Sapphire or Rayne, he wasn't sure which one at the moment.
