Now, to the story.
"POTTER!"
A yell rang out through the Gryffindor dorms; it was enough to make anyone's blood curdle, but the one she was calling for lay in the 7th year boys' dorm and he simply popped out of bed and grinned. This, was the everyday life at Hogwarts, and it would remain this way as long as Lily Evans and James Potter were sworn enemies. While grins went around in the boys' dorm, in the girls' however.
"Now don't fret Lily, I'll just." And another scream filled the air.
Two hours later, Lily Evans, whose hair had returned to its fiery auburn, was engaged in a glaring contest with James Potter, each backed up by their friends. Their concentration finally broke when they head Dumbledore call for the Head boy and girl to please come up to the front. That would be them. Dumbledore grinned, and them announced, "This year, we will be having a school play, and it will be co-written by our Head boy and girl. The genre can and will be chosen by you. You may vote outside the Hall." With that, he sat and there was a sudden stream of excited students rushing out of the hall. The teachers grinned inwardly at the thought of Lily and James working together, besides, they might just.well, either way, I've got 10 galleons on 2 weeks.
That night in the common room, Lily and James began to tally the votes made by the students throughout the day. An hour later, they had come up with a genre: "Romance?" James pushed his chair back, disgusted at the Hogwarts female population. "It's not that bad," Lily replied. "Ugh," was her only response. She rolled her eyes and found a clean bit of parchment, and began musing. "Night Star," she said. "Say what?" James asked. "Night Star. About a girl who hates this guy, and he hates her, but one day." "They fall in love!" James finished happily. She grinned at him for a moment, forgetting exactly who he was to her, "I think we have a play on the way."
Every night for two months, Lily and James worked together, and came down one morning and tacked a notice to the board:

Within moments, there was a swarm of students around the sheet. Lily grinned at James, then realized exactly who he was, frowned, then walked away.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was the evening of December 4th, and Lily and James were running through the many, many actors who had come to that afternoon's performance.
"That funny-looking blonde girl who wanted to be Serene?"
"No."
"That hot Ravenclaw?"
"No, and could you keep your mind on the play Potter?"
"Fine. How about that black-haired one? The one who tripped coming through the door?"
"Not bad. A possible Serene."
"Yeah," he replied, "Better hope she can sing."
Lily groaned at this, stretched, and proposed that they go to bed. James yawned in return and they began to make their way to their dorm.
When James entered his dorm, the first thing he heard was, "So, Jim, how was your date with Miss. Evans?" He groaned and kicked at his best friend's shins. "It wasn't a date Sirius."
"Suuuuuuure it wasn't."
"Shut up Sirius," and with that, he fell asleep. That night, James's dreams were haunted by a vision of dark red hair, and emerald eyes. They continued to stare at him until he reached out, and then they disappeared. That morning James awoke with only one word on his mind. Lily. It taunted him insanely. Lily. He dressed and ran down the staircase until he reached the Great Hall. He saw her there, sitting at the Gryffindor table, a book propped up by the jug of pumpkin juice. "LILY!" he yelled. And all eyes turned to him. For once in his life he turned red at the attention and rushed to sit by her. "What's the matter?" she asked, a puzzled frown creasing her brow. "I-I I wanted to tell you that we need to-er-meet-yes meet after the audition." How lame.
She gave him a strange smile, and said, "Yes. I know. To cast the roles."
"Yes," he said quietly, "To cast the roles." With this, he walked out of the hall. Lily sat, staring at her book. Why did he act so strangely? And she had thought that he had meant to say something else. Maybe.it's nothing but wishful thinking Evans, she scolded herself. Besides, he could have any girl, and she any guy. It's just.those chocolate eyes. A messy head of hair.and.STOP!! She was not thinking about James Potter this way. Not HIM. No. Lily's best friend, Ora, plopped into the seat beside her. "Lily. Lily! You DO realize that you're pouring syrup into your juice, right? Lily? Lily!"
Lily's head popped up, and she answered, startled, "Yeah? What? Oh, oh my juice. Yeah, my juice, um Ora, I gotta go." And she stumbled out the door with a glazed look. Ora looked across at Sirius Black who had been sitting there, quietly for once, grinning at the scenes in the Hall. "Ora, m'dear, Sirius has a plan."
Minutes later, Ora's black eyes glittered wickedly, "Oh, Ora's going to have fun now."
Lily's ears were just about to burst as the 3rd year finished the song on a high note. It had been terrible. The good actors couldn't sing, and the singer's couldn't act. It was just one big mess. She smiled tightly and thanked the girl. The moment she walked out of the room, Lily and James both sighed deeply. "Well then, now to the casting."
Within another few hours, they had found someone for every part, that is, except for the two leads. They couldn't find anyone who seem well, right, for the part. When they brought the problem to their friends however.
"Why don't you two play the parts?" Ora asked delightedly. "Yeah," Sirius agreed, "You're..perfect." The two stood awkwardly for a moment, then answered, "Alright. But only because we don't want the play to fall apart, got it?" With almost identical grins, the two matchmakers-to-be nodded, "We got it."
That's it for this chapter, I know they're kinda short, but I can't write one chapter for too long. It bothers me. If you want me to write longer ones I'll try, but I am updating more often instead. Anyway, next chapter begins with the rehearsing. Still looking 4 ideas + possibilities! Thanks to reviewers! Proper thanks in next chap.
