Author Notes: Lily Evans has her day all planned out. Until something happens she didn't expect at all. She bumps into James Potter.
** ** **
It started out as a perfectly normal day. The sky was cloudless, the sun was shining bright, and the birds were singing. Lily Evans had just woken up, and was brushing her hair. She put on her uniform and her black robes over it, then straightened her Prefect badge. She checked her appearance once more in the mirror and headed down for breakfast.
A few minutes later, Lily's best friend Katherine Farrell sat down next to her. Both girls were in their sixth year at Hogwarts. They were in Ravenclaw, and were very smart.
"Hello, Lily." Katherine greeted her, as she sat down next to Lily.
"Hello, Katherine." Lily said, offering her friend the plate of toast. Katherine took two pieces and buttered them.
"What's first today on the schedule?" Katherine asked.
"First is Charms with the Slytherin's then we have a five minute break." Lily said, looking over her schedule. Lily was very organized. Her whole closet was color coded and she had all of her days planned out in advance.
"Thank You, Professer Evans." Katharine said sarcastically.
"No need to get all snooty about it." Lily gave her schedule one more look, then put it in her bag.
They finished up their breakfast then walked to Charms. Lily was top-student in Charms, and every other subject save Transfiguration which she was horrible at. Katharine was also good in Charms but not as good as Lily. During class Lily took extensive notes of everything Prof. Johnson said. Lily just about worshiped the ground she walked in.
After Potions, then lunch they had a free period since it had snowed and Prof. Alcott couldn't get into the greenhouse where their lesson was to be held.
"Let's go to the library. I need to get a book out for my Potions homework." Katharine suggested.
"Ok. You go ahead, I think I dropped my quill." Lily said, then got down on her hands and knees to search for her quill.
"Aha! There you are!" Lily felt under a low table for her quill and got it out. She set off down the hallway trying to stuff her quill in her bag when she walked straight into someone and sent them crashing down.
"Are you alright?" A deep male voice asked.
"Yes. I'm terribly sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." Lily said, softly then looked up to see who she had knocked down. She didn't recognize him at all.
"Well. I'm really sorry. I must go to the Library. Bye." she stated, and hurried off before she knocked him over again.
** ** **
"What took so long?" Katharine asked when Lily sat down next to her at a table.
"I ran into someone."
"Oh. Who?" she said after a moments silence.
"I'm not sure. I didn't recognize him at all. He might of been a seventh year." Lily said, as she was looking over the beginning of Katharine's Potions essay.
"You should of asked his name. Was he cute?"
Lily thought for a moment. She hadn't really gotten a good look at him, but she did remember his eyes. They were a deep brown, and she felt if she gazed into them long enough she would be in Heaven.
"I didn't really get a good look at him. I do remember he had dark brown eyes."
"Ok. That helps a lot. I guess we'll just have to have you look in every 5th year and above's eyes and see of they're brown." Katharine said, caustically.
"Someone's snappish today." Lily said cooly as she started on her own Potion's essay.
The rest of the hour passed quickly and soon the girls were finished with their day's lesson and in the Ravenclaw common room talking.
Lily was daydreaming, while Katharine was making a fortune teller thing. "Ok, Lily! Pick a color."
Lily sat up and picked a color. "Green."
"G-R-E-E-N. Now pick a number.
"Five."
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Another one."
"Eight."
"Ok. You will die a horrible death."
"You're so mean to me. I'm doing to for you now. Pick a color." Lily exclaimed.
"Blue." Katharine said.
"B-L-U-E. Number."
"Three."
"1, 2, 3. 'Nother Number."
"Six."
"You will become Queen of England. Did you rig this thing?" Lily asked while she checked the other fortunes.
"No. Why would I do a thing like that?" Katharine asked innocently.
"Because that sounds like a thing you would do." Lily stated.
Katherine stuck her tongue out at Lily, then looked at her watch. "11:00 already. I'm going to bed. You coming up?"
"Yeah." Lily said, as she followed Katharine up the stairs to their dorm.
Katharine immediately fell asleep while Lily stayed awake, listening to the soft snores and 'Oh Anthony's' of her best friend. She was still thinking about the guy whom she had bumped into.
** ** **
"I can't stop thinking about her, Padfoot." James Potter said, while he was lounging on a couch in the Gryffindor common room watching Remus and Sirius play wizarding chess. Peter, the fourth Marauder, was in the Hospital Wing with a broken leg after he tripped over Snape's cauldron in Potions.
"Who?" Sirius asked, wincing as one of Remus's knights knocked out his castle piece.
"That girl I told you about." he said.
"Oh the one who knocked you over." Remus added.
"How do you know?" James asked, slightly taken aback.
"I told him." Sirius said, as he won the game.
James gave Sirius a look and continued. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Find out her name." Remus suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea, I wonder why I didn't think of that myself." James said, sitting up quickly.
"Because you don't have the mental capacity that I do?" Remus offered.
"Haha, very funny. Are we still on for tonight?" James asked, his tone serious. The other two Marauders nodded then went back to their new game of chess.

The next day was the December 21st, the start of the Christmas Holidays. Lily and Katharine were staying for the holidays, planned on going to Hogsmeade for the day to buy gifts.
"Where to first?" Katharine asked, slightly shivering in her black peacoat.
"Honeydukes. I want to buy some candy for my sister." Lily said, as they walked into the candy store.
"What do you think? An acid pop, or some cockroach clusters?" Lily asked while she was peering over the two items.
"How about an acid pop and a half a pound of cockroach clusters?" Katharine proposed.
"Ok." Lily said, and placed her order. While Katharine was over looking at the different chewing gums they had, Lily ordered some Sugar Quills for her. They left the store, and walked to the robe shop. While Lily was trying on a silky green robe, Katharine bought a pearly white robe for Lily.
"What do you think?" Lily asked, as she modeled the robe for Katharine.
"Very pretty. Green is so your color." Katharine complimented.
"Thanks."
They finished up their shopping and walked to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer to warm them up. Katharine went up and ordered two Butterbeers while Lily sat down near the entrance. The chime on the door ringed when in walked three more Gryffindor students.
Lily immediatly recognized one of them, and pointed him out to Katharine as she sat down.
"Look! That's the guy I bumped into yesterday!" she whispered pointing him out.
"Ooh. Look at the one next to him. He looks hot." Katharine murmured excitedly.
Lily looked at them and noticed they were walking towards them.
"Oh my god, here they come." Katharine shrieked, as she started to panic. "Do I look okay?"
"You look fine." Lily said, struggling to stay calm as she felt her heart beat faster.
"Do you guys mind of we sit here also?" One asked.
"There are no empty seats." Another added. Lily looked around and noticed he was right. The place really was filling up.
"Sure." Katharine said immediately, without a moments pause.
They sat down and introduced themselves.
"I'm James Potter." said the second tallest of them all. He had the same deep brown eyes Lily had remembered, messy black hair and glasses.
"I'm Sirius Black." The tallest of them all said, as he bowed to Lily and Katharine. He had messy brown hair and playful blue eyes that glittered when he laughed.
"And, I'm Remus Lupin." said the third tallest. He had sandy colored hair and gray eyes that were serious yet magnetic.
"My name is Lily Evans." Lily said, then nudged Katharine who was staring at Sirius. She blushed deeply.
"I'm Katharine Farrell." she said. Katharine was a brunette with piercing blue eyes, that could icy in an instant, but were usually energetic.
James was looking at Lily when he realized it was she who had knocked him over yesterday. "Did you by any chance knock me over yesterday?" he asked hopefully.
