((A/N: I came up with the idea for this story a few weeks back, and it's been bugging me a lot lately, so I just HAD to write it up! I have a fairly good plot in this one. The beginning is boring, but it WILL get better, I promise!))

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters that you recognize from the Harry Potter books. The plot and any characters that you do not recognize belong to me!

Ch 1- Introduction

                Lily Evans wasn't a normal 15-year-old girl. She wasn't even a normal 15-year-old witch. She was different, and everybody knew it. She enjoyed being herself, but that sometimes caused her to be somewhat of an outcast. The amazing thing about her was the fact that she enjoyed her life even though she didn't fit in and didn't have many friends. She was always reading, studying, and following the rules. She seemed like she was always reading.

                James Potter was the exact opposite. He was incredibly popular, and almost every girl in 5th year would have, did have, or had already had a crush on him. He and his group of friends, the "Marauders," were known for breaking rules and pulling pranks. The amazing thing about him was the fact that everything *usually* didn't go to his head.

                These two never got along with each other. James was always making fun of and pulling pranks on Lily. Lily was always ignoring him or yelling at him. They were like oil and water. There was no way that they would mix. Everyone would have told you that there was no way that they would ever be a couple, but they were wrong. It all started with a silver charm bracelet…

(Flashback)

                "Lily, we just want you to know how proud we are of you. A witch in the family, how exciting!" Lily Evans's mother exclaimed for the 4 millionth time since Lily had gotten her acceptance letter to Hogwarts one week before.

                "And to show you how proud we are, we've bought you a little something," her father said, handing her something.

                Lily grinned as she took the box. It was shorter than a wand box, but still long, and it was slender. She took the top off and peered inside. Inside, there was a silver charm bracelet. It only had a few charms on it. There was a little book charm; Lily loved to read. There was a little pair of music notes; Lily absolutely loved listening to music. There was also a small heart with the word "LOVE" written across it.

                Lily put on the bracelet and listened to the light sound of silver-on-silver whenever she moved her arm. Over the years, that charm bracelet became her favorite piece of jewelry and one of her most prized possessions.

((A/N: Okay, I know, the first chapter was REALLY short. I promise that the next one will be much longer! I've already got most of it written, so I will be updating this story VERY soon. For everyone who is reading my other story, I'm still writing it, don't worry. School just started, so I won't be updating either story as often. Please R/R))
