A/N- I have been bit by the bug. The Lily/James bug. I love L/J fics with a passion, it just seems all the good stories are out of character, like James is a shy dork, or Lily is a secret slut. Or James is a mean bastard, you know just bad things, so I am here to write a story. But here is the story that I am writing, it has a lot of angst from James, and I still don't have a title, but then again I haven't even posted it yet so . . . . .. Meh.

Chapter 2- Perfect little Prefect

Lily walked into the Prefect meeting with James on her heels. She hated James Potter, with his womanizing and his pranks and his stupid cute smile. The truth is that Lily thought James was incredibly handsome, he had a way of making girl's melt into butter at sight, but Lily was stronger than that, she was made of more stuff.

"James, I can't keep getting you for meetings, you're going to have to remember on your own." She snapped, taking her seat by Sakura Tanaka. Sakura was a Ravenclaw that was very pretty. Lily happened to know for a fact that Scottie liked her; Scottie was in Hufflepuff, though everyone thought he should have been a Ravenclaw too. Scottie was a Chinese wizard who studied hard and had some of the best grades in the year; he was also a prefect.

Just then James walked behind Lily, shooting his deadly smile at Sakura, but looking over her shoulder at Lily,

"Hey Sakura, how about you meet me inside the charms corridor, tonight at seven. I promise I'll make it worth your while." He still hadn't taken his eyes off of Lily, nor could she take her eyes off of him. They were playing with each other, how far could the other go. He pulled her hand up to his lips, gently brushing them together and kissing each one of her fingers,

"I promise." He let go of Sakura's hands just as McGonagall came into the room, calling attention to the meeting.

* * * * *

"Now, after all the official business from me is there any thing anyone would like to bring up?" She asked. James and Lily immediately raised their hands in unison, but McGonagall raised an eyebrow,

"And no there will be no removal of prefects from office as I said last week." The hands remained raised, and James spoke,

"Actually I had something serious to talk about." It was weird, but the whole room went eerily silent,

"Very well Mr. Potter, I'll be the one to judge if it is serious or not." McGonagall said.

"Well, it's come to my attention that some people," He shot an obvious glance at the Slytherin Prefects, "have been harassing the younger Muggle-born students, words like filthy and Mudblood being said. I have noticed it has been only Slytherin house, but I cannot verify that they are the only ones. I feel however it should stop because I for one, I might not be able to control myself next time." The whole room went silent as he breathed out the last words of his statement. He had a sense of power around him; it as rare that Lily ever saw James serious, but when he was, people listened.

"I feel that you are completely right Mr. Potter, though I urge you to reconsider the last statement of your small speech you are right about it. I do think the penalties for harassment due to parentage should increase, let's say one-hundred points per offense, possibly expulsion if it continues." McGonagall said. Evan Rosier's face exploded with outrage, but he was more than smart enough to say anything aloud with McGonagall there.

"Now Ms. Evans, you had something to say?" McGonagall asked, but Lily shook her head, James had already touched on it, "Well I guess this meeting is over."

James stood up and walked out of the room, Lily on his heels,

"Potter!" She demanded. James turned around with a smile; he purposely did to annoy Evans.

"Yes Snapdragon?"

"Firstly, don't call me that, and secondly . . . that was nice what you said back there." She turned around, trying to be as far away form Potter.

Lily went back toward the Gryffindor common room, walking in to find it occupied by the Marauder's.

"How did you get here before me?" She demanded to James who was sitting down on the couch obviously plotting something. She hadn't seen him pass her in the corridor.

"I have my ways Snapdragon." He smiled at her and turned back to his work.

Everything about James Potter annoyed Lily furiously. He had the top grades in the class along with her, nearly perfect on everything, but he didn't work for it. She had studied and studied, slaved in the library for hours on end and in the end she ended with the same result he did. James however spent all his time with his friends, playing jokes and having fun. They rarely did any work. There was Sirius Black, the most mischievous of the group. He was the initiator of most plans; he was tall with black hair that looked mangled. He had brown eyes that were very dark and a handsome face. Sirius was the other Marauder wanted by all of the girls in school. James Potter, the planner of most of the plans initiated by Sirius. James had untamable black hair, and glasses. His gray eyes were brilliant and he was also one of the smartest in the school. James potter was in third place for most detentions in Hogwarts. Sirius was in second, and Rubeus Hagrid was in first, though Lily didn't actually know who that was.

The next Marauder was Remus Lupin; he was a cute boy with Sandy brown hair. He also was wanted by most of the girls in school, though he was practically off limits due to his long going relationship with Lily's friend Tanaya Lanford. Remus, unlike the other two wasn't a playboy and didn't mess around with every girl in school. Finally in the marauder saga there was Peter Pettigrew. He was a little chubby, but not fat or anything. His best classes were Herbology and divination, though you really couldn't tell whether or not he was making his answers up or not.

Lily wasn't exactly, friendly with any of the Marauder's, but they weren't enemies. James Potter however was of course, so there was a problem. Lily walked upstairs into the girl's dormitory and collapsed onto the bed.

"What's wrong?" Her friend Arabella Figg asked, sitting on the end of Lily's bed. Lily rolled over on her back, staring up at the top of her pink four-poster bed.

"Nothing, what happened with Sirius?" She asked. Arabella looked down,

"I tried to catch in a lie with the potion, but I think he knew it was me. I need to go to the library, want me to wake you up when I get back?" She asked. Lily nodded and lied back again, closing her eyes and rifting off into a deep sleep.

* * * * *

"Lily, Lily, wake up." Arabella shook her friend. Lily rolled over groggily,

"I'm up, I'm up." She said, getting to her feet quickly. Lily rubbed her eyes and shook her head, looking at her watch. It was a quarter past seven. She walked down the stairs into the common room only to find the same scene as earlier, the Marauder's working on something in secret. She was immediately frustrated, Potter had stood up Sakura, one of Lily's friends personally.

"JAMES HAROLD POTTER!" Lily yelled. The whole common room turned and James laughed,

"Yes Snapdragon dear?" He asked. Lily stormed over toward him against the pleas of Arabella.

"You were supposed to meet Sakura in the charms corridor, how can you stand her up you stupid little-" But Arabella snatched her back, dragging her to the staircase just as McGonagall walked in,

"James Potter, Albus Dumbledore would like to see you." She said. The whole room went quiet, it wasn't normal that Professor McGonagall came in. James stood up, Sirius's borrowed school books still in hand, and followed McGonagall out of the common room.

"Lily, it's not nice to get into other people's business, especially if you don't know the whole story." Sirius said. Sirius was such a smart ass, but Lily liked that about him,

"Such as?"

"Getting into James's business. Whether or not he wants to date anyone is none of your business."

"It is when he is getting in the way of two of my friends who are perfect for each other. If he wasn't so egotistical they might get together."

"Wasn't she the one who agreed to go with him?" Remus asked, placing another card down. The whole table exploded.

"Whatever, I'm going to go tell Sakura to leave the corridor cause James is stupid."

"I wouldn't do that, Sakura is with Scottie." Remus said. Lily raised an eyebrow,

"How do you know that?"

"We set it up, Scottie thought he was meeting Sakura and she thought she was meeting James, now they're locked in the charms corridor with nothing but music and candlelight dinner until sunrise."

"Oh." Lily turned around feeling incredibly stupid.

A/N okay why was James called away? Why is lily so prejudice? Who put the 'ju' in jujitsu?
