The girls sat in there dorm talking. They were really bored and it was like 12:00 so the guys were sleeping.

"Do you guys want to prank the guys, cause there is nothing else to do." Liz asked (Maryum and Liz were sleeping over cause it was a weekend.)

"Sure!" Lily said. They all agreed. "Lets put marshmallow all over them!" Bella suggested. "Yeah, good idea! And how about some

peanut butter, I keep some in my trunk cause I love peanut butter." Ruby said. They got there ingredients and headed for the guys dorms.

Lily went for James' bed, Liz went to Sirius, Ruby went for Remus', and Maryum and Bella went to Peters (they wanted to get him more cause they

didn't like him. **grins**) Lily went to James' bed and smeared peanut butter all over

him. The she stuck marshmallow to the peanut butter. She saw an open book

on his dresser and saw the following.

Dear Journal,

Okay, I really like this girl more than I've ever liked anyone before, but I'm afraid I'll hurt her. I no I won't hurt her, because I care for her. I'm a big player. I don't mean to be, I just am. I think maybe she'll turn me down because she knows I'm a player. She is so nice and smart. She is beautiful too. I don't understand why she doesn't have a boyfriend. Maybe because she isn't an air head ditz. She is.... Well she is perfect. I think I'm in love and I'm scared because I've never been in love before. Well I got to go to a perfect meeting. Bye!

From,

James

'I wonder who he likes? Wow, he is so sweet about this girl.' She thought dreamily. 'I wish someone would feel that way about me.' Then she left with the others gigging.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next morning the girls woke up, got dressed, and went down stairs. When they got there Sirius gave them a high

five. "Nice prank guys!" he said. They all laughed.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Later that Day

Ruby was sitting in her dorm with Lily and Bella when an owl flew in and a letter landed next to her. They all read it together.

Dear Ruby,

Hey honny! How are you? Well, I just wanted to tell you something. It may come as a shock to you, but you have a sister at Hogwarts. You both got separated at birth. You father took her/him when we got divorced when you were born. I do not no who it is though. I just thought you should no. I love you.

Love ,

Mom

"It's like a mystery! We'll solve it!" Lily whispered. "I guess" Ruby whispered. "This will be so much fun!" Bella said. "I guess but don't tell anyone else okay?" "Okay" they chorused.

**************************************************************************** **

At the same time Maryum and Liz were sitting in there dorms together talking about who was hot when an owl flew on Maryum's lap. She read, with Liz over her shoulder reading it:

Dear Maryum,

Hey! How are you? Well, I just wanted to tell you something. It may come as a shock to you, but you have a sister at Hogwarts. You both got separated at birth. Your mother took her/him when we got divorced when you were born. I do not no who it is though. I just thought you should no. I love you.

Love,

Dad

"Wow! I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me." Said Maryum. "This is so cool! We can figure it out! Well, it has to be someone in our year, hopefully not a Slytherin." Liz said. "I guess." Maryum said. With that they went to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that night Lily went down stairs to think. 'Why am I the only one with out a boyfriend this whole year? I haven't had a boyfriend since Christmas of last year. Am I ugly or something? Or maybe I'm not nice enough.' She had been distant the whole night. Then someone walked down from the boy's dorm. Lily looked away.

"What's wrong? You've been very distant all day. What's up?" She recognized the voice as James'

"It's nothing. I do have a question though. You have to promise not to tell anyone about this though okay?" she said.

"Sure"

"Well, why am I the only one who hasn't had a boyfriend this year? I'm a really that ugly? Or am I not nice. I'm very lonely though. I can't seem to find someone who likes me for who I am. Well, I can't seem to find someone who likes me at all either. I want to no why James." She said almost desperately.

'How can guys not like this.....well this angel. There is no other way to put it. She is perfect. Not pretty enough? She is the prettiest thing I no. Not nice enough? She is the nicest person I no. How can she think these things?'

"It's none of those. You're a very attractive person Lily. And as for not being nice enough, you're the nicest person I no. Don't think those things. I guess guys think you're not looking."

"How do I make them no I am looking though?" Lily asked.

"Well, i dunno wear make up and flirt with hot guys. That always works." he said.

"Thanks! You've been such a great help to me these past few months. Thanks." She got up and gave him a nice friendly hug. 'Wow her hair is really soft. Did I just tell her to act like a slut? Did i just tell her to flirt with people? I don't want her to go out with anyone. Oh crap.I think I need to take a loooong hot shower.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, with the help of Bella and Ruby Lily looked great. It was a weekend sp they walked down at 9:30 AM. Lily wore a deep green tight shirt. It clung to her curves. Her hair was straight and it was half up and half down. She was wearing really tight and low jeans. She looked great, but not like a slut. She got the male population to notice her finally. They saw Maryum and Liz, at the Gryfindor table already, so they sat down next to them. Liz whopped. "Whooo, Lily looking hot today!" Liz said. Lily blushed.

Just then Amos Diggory came up to Lily and said "You look really nice today. Would you go out with me?"

"Yeah right! After what you did to Liz? You wish! Lily said. "Come on Lily. I didn't like her anymore. I don't think i could ever not like you. Amos said. At this point the Maurders, who had just gotten up, were watching with interest.

"I am looking for a boyfriend but I'd never do that to Liz. I said no so leave! What? Am I the first girl to turn you down? AAAAWWWW lets all start crying!" Lily said.

"Come on Lily please just give me a chance. Yes you would be the first girl to turn me down."

"No now leave me alone." "No come on Lily don't turn me down. You no you can't resist me. No one can. "Oh believe me, I can." out of anger Amos grabbed Lily's wrists really hard and said "go out with me! I don't want to be turned down!"

Then a male voice said "Leave her alone and let go of her now!" It was the voice of James Potter.

"Oh looks like we're in the lead. No one has ever turned us down. Sorry!" said a voice whose belongs to Sirius Black. Amos let go of Lily and turned around and faced all four of the Maurders.

"Why do you care so much about the mudblood?" He realized what he said and covered his mouth. "I didn't mean to say that! It just slipped." Amos said quickly.

"You didn't mean to say it, but you were thinking it!" said Sirius. James had to much anger, he didn't no what to do with it. He'd never been so angry in his life. He didn't no why either. He was actually scared of what he would do if he did something without thinking. "Never. Talk. About. Her. Like. That. AGAIN!" he said through his clenched teeth. "If you do we'll beat the crap out of you!" Sirius shouted. Amos backed away very scared. Finally he sprinted out of the Hall.

Lily was shaken up. She was very pale. "Are you okay Lils?" James asked. "Yeah I'm fine, by now I think I'm used to it." she joked. She laughed at her own joke.

James frowned. "Lils, you shouldn't be."

"It was a joke!" Lily insisted. "I no but still." Lily smiled.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The next day everyone was sitting in the common room when Lily suddenly remembered something.

Lily said "James, can I speak to you in private?" "Okay" he replied. They walked out of the common room.

"Okay by accident when I went to go prank you, I saw your journal opened and I read one page. Please don't be mad at me. I no I shouldn't have. I'm really sorry. Please don't hate me." She said really worried.

"It's okay Lils. It happens. I'm not mad at you. Just don't do it again alright?" he asked. "Of course!" then she said "It said you really liked someone. Who is it?" she asked.

'Oh crap. It's her. What if she figures out? Good thing I

don't use names in there.' he thought.

"No one. It's for me to no and you not to find out." He smirked. 'But I want her to find out.' he thought.

"Come on pppllleeeaaasssseeeee Jaaammmeesss?" Lily whined.

"Nope" he grinned. "Fine, but I'll find out! You watch, I'll play

detective." he laughed "You'll never figure it, but I will make a deal with you. I'll tell you after I tell her. Deal? He asked.

"Fine" she sighed. "You suck" she said.

"Yeah I no, aren't you mad I won't tell you." He said smirking wider.

"You're no fun!" Lily whined pouting.

"I no, I'm so boring right." Lily giggled. "You do realize that I

have blackmail on you right? The fact that you right in a diary."

James blushed "It's not a diary it's a journal." he corrected.

"Yeah okay, ssuuurrrreeee." Lily teased.

"If you tell anyone, I'll make sure you'll pay. I'll have a prank fest on you."

"Not if you can't catch me" With that she sprinted away.

He then tore after her. Lily tripped and fell. James ran over to her and started to tickle her. She kept giggling. "Say mercy!" James said.

"Never!" Then finally he stopped and they looked deeply into each others

eyes. ( A.N Okay I forget what I made James's eyes, so I'm going to make them blue lolz. I wasn't sure either to make them Brown or blue but when I think of James Potter I think of Blue eyes I don't no why though lolz. I like the "Brown met Green" thing but I guess I'll make it "Blue met green" so don't flame me for that.)

Lily looked into his crystal blue eyes. James looked into her emerald green eyes. Then they both moved closer until there

lips met. It was short, soft, and sweet, with a little tongue. Finally they both pulled away. They both blushed.

"I-I-I'm really sorry, James. I didn't mean to. I don't no what came over me." Then Lily ran away.

Once she reached the common room, everyone was sitting there talking. "Lily what's wrong?" Bella asked.

Lily replied "I didn't mean to. It just happened. I hope he doesn't hate me. He shouldn't. Should he?"

"What did you do to who?" "I kissed him. Or he kissed me. I'm not sure though. I hope he doesn't hate me." "Who kissed you-or who did u kiss?" Sirius asked.

"James" she replied.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I was gonna leave off there but I'm nice lolz.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"You did what? Or he did what? Screw the he did she did crap." Sirius said.

"We kissed." Lily said gloomily. "But as much as I love James as a friend, but I could never date him. He is a player. I no he's one of my best friends, but I can't. He'll hurt me and I don't want to get hurt even more. I no he doesn't mean to, but that's just him."

She finished not knowing James was standing in the portrait hole. He was in the shadows so no one could see him. Lily looked really confused. He watched her walk up to the girls dorm. The girls ran after her. Then James walked over to the rest of the Maurders.

"You kissed her James? I no I'm just as much as a player as you, and I'm not proud of it, but if you break her heart I'll beat the crap out of you." Sirius said. "I'm with him, you better not break her heart James!" Remus said. "Yeah, she's really nice. She helps me with my homework." Peter said.

"You guys no I wouldn't do that to Lily." James said. "Well, you don't ever do it intentionally, but it just happens. Lily has had a hard life, and even though she won't admit it, she doesn't think she is good enough for us." Remus said. "Not good enough for us? Why would she think that?" James asked. "Because if her own sister thinks she's trash then she thinks that we do to." Remus replied. "How do you no all of this?" asked Sirius. "My wolfly instincts." Remus said.

"Oh" replied James.

"James, do you actually like her?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, I really do. I've never felt t his way about a girl in my life. When I see her cry, it tears up my heart. When she smiles, I just can't help but to smile. She is beautiful, smart, and funny. I'm scared, I don't no why I care for her so much."

"James, it's something called love, James. Love." Remus said.

"You guys are turning all mushy gushy on me!" Sirius exclaimed. They laughed.

'Was it love?' he wondered. 'She doesn't think she fits in? How can she think that? I like her so much. Why does the one girl who I like, not like me, but all of those other girls do. It's not fair. I got to make her trust me some how.' he thought.'



He walked upstairs to think. He told the Marauders that he needed to prepare for the next Quidditch match. He thought 'Why does Lily mean so much to him? Why did Voldemort want her so badly anyway? I'm so confused right now!' he thought. He stayed up there for a half hour thinking the same thoughts. Finally he went down stairs. He saw everyone whispering so he walked over to Sirius and asked "What's wrong?"

"Another attack." Sirius whispered. "On who?" asked James. "On Spinnets. Lily's Herbology partner's parents." James heart sanked. He actually knew the Spinnets. They were friends of his Dad's. He met them at a Ministry Ball. He felt sad for Angela, she now had no parents.

~~~~Lily's POV~~~~~

Lily had just heard about the news and felt horrid. 'It's my fault. He wanted someone I knew to die. Why me?' She thought for awhile longer and finally came up with an idea. Now she just had to get this approved. She decided to ask Professor Dumbledore. She walked down stairs and to his office. She walked through the gargoyle and Dumbledore sat there writing something down.

"Excuse me professor. May I have a word with you?" Lily asked politely.

"Sure Ms. Evans. What brings you here today?"

"Well, you see, I heard about Ms. Spinnets parents, and I thought of a way to make it all stop."

"Really how is that?" he asked. "Well, He seems to want me so badly so here's the deal. I'd give myself to him to let him kill me if he lets me set a charm on him that can make him or his followers not be able to kill, or torture with out a real reason to."

The professor looked at the determined girl and said, "Why would you want to die?"

"Well, he's killing all these innocent people for me. I need to stop him, and it's that best way we have."

"Are you sure you don't mind?" he asked. "I'm positive" she replied. "Alright you may write him a letter." "Thank you professor." and then she left for the common room. She sat down on a couch and wrote:

Dear Voldemort,

This is Lily Evans, the girl who you've been trying to capture for awhile. Well, I've decided to make you a deal. I'd let you kill me, if you let me perform a charm on you that makes you and you followers not be able to kill with out a real reason. Dumbledore has already approved of this plan.

From,

Lily Evans

'There that's good enough' she thought as she re read it. "What are you writing?" asked Sirius as he walked over toward me.

"Nothing" she said while getting up. Sirius decided not to push it anymore. She got her owl and tied the letter to it. She watched it fly off. Lily sat in her dorm for a few hours and surprisingly the owl had come back with a reply.

Dear Evans,

It's a deal. As much as I hate the fact I need a reason to kill, I need you dead more so it'll do. Just tell me when and when and where to meet you.

Voldemort

Lily was scared. She was going to die at the age of sixteen. She got up and went to Dumbledore's office again and showed him the letter. "Okay then I guess you just have to tell me when you want to then we will tell him."

"Okay professor, I'll tell you when I'm ready." Lily replied.

"No pressure, take as much time as you need. You don't even have to do it if you don't want to."

"I want to." She insisted.

"Okay I just wanted to tell you something. You are Hogwarts brightest student in 6th year. You could get top marks in 7th year this year. You are so smart and you would be the future head girl. I just wanted to say that Hogwarts would miss you greatly."

"Thank you professor. I need to go now though."

"Okay by Ms. Evans." With that she left and headed back to the common room. She decided to tell the girls and boys separately. First she found Maryum, Liz, Ruby, and Bella sitting in the dorm talking. She walked in and said "You guys I have some news that you may not like." "What?" asked Bella. She took a deep breath. "Well, Voldemort is killing everyone because of me so I'm going to give myself to him to let him kill me if he lets me set a charm on him that can make him or his followers not be able kill anyone unless he has a reason." She said rather quickly.

The girls were in shock. They all burst into tears screaming stuff like "you can't do that!" and "It's not fair" and "you don't have to do this!" Lily saw in tears to. They sat there in a bunch hugging and crying. It was very sad. Finally the puffy eyes Lily sat up and said. "I got to go tell the boys now. I'll be right back." The girls nodded. She walked into the common room. She found the guys in the commen room.

"Lily! Whats wrong? Why are you crying?" asked Sirius.

Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I need to talk to you all up in your dorms." she whispered. They walked up to the boys dorms. "Okay, Well, yoou guys. I don't no if you no this but Voldemort has been after me for awhile. Well, the attack today was to get to me, an dit did." tears streamed down her cheeks. "So i've made a deal with him. I let him kill me. He then can't kill anyone unless he has a real reason."

##############################################

Flashback

Lily entered Dumbledore's office. The fourteen year old girl was very scared. She sat down and waited. "Ms. Evans i'm glad you have come. I have some news to tell you."

"What professor?" Lily asked. "Well, I have to inform you that Lord Voldemort is after you." "Why?" Lily asked. "Because of some prophecy. I'm not really sure. I would just like to warn you, and to be careful. Chose your friends wisely. And I advise you not to tell anyone about this." Lily nodded.

############################################## End Flashback

"Lily you can't have to do this!" Sirius exclaimed. "Yeah, you're a great girl, don't let him win!" Remus said. James was silent. Lily would have rather have him yell and scream.

"When?" James asked quietly. "When what?" Lily asked.

"When do you leave?" "Oh, I don't no yet. I get to chose. Voldemort has already agreed to the deal." Lily could see tears forming in his eyes but didn't say anything about it. Lily felt so bad. "Why are you doing this to yourself?" asked Remus. "I want to. It's better I die, rather than someone who has a family and people who care about them." Finally James spoke up. "You do have people who care about you. I do." The others nodded. "So what, I have to. He's after me. It's the only way to stop him. If I don't do this, you're parents are going to die, and you'll hate me, so it won't matter." Lily then left the room. Everyone else left James alone because they knew he wanted to be alone.

'She can't do this. I have to stop her. That's it! I'll write to Dad.' he though. With that he got out a piece of parchment and wrote:

Dear Dad,

You no Lily Evans, the one who spent the summer with us.. Well, You no I really like her, but I may not be able to ever tell her. She's making a deal with Voldemort. She is going to let him kill her, if she gets to put an unbreakable charm, that him or his followers may not kill without a reason. This means she is going to kill her self. Dumbledore and Voldemort both agreed. She just needs to pick when. You need to help. Please Dad? Thank you so much!

Love,

James

'There' he thought. 'That's good enough.' Then he tied the letter to the owl/ He watched the owl until it was out of sight.

*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*( *(*(*(*( We are now with Mr. potter

Mr. Potter was sitting in his office doing paperwork, when an owl flew in. He recognized it as James' owl. He opened it and read it. He sighed. 'She is a brave person. James must be so sad. The love of his life is going to give herself to Voldemort for the protection of her friends and strangers.'

He decided to write back. He didn't no what to write though. Finally he wrote:

Dear James,



Yes, I do remember Lily. How could I forget? Yes, I also no how much you like her, maybe even love her. She is a brave person. My advice to you is to tell her how you feel, because if she does die and you never told her, you'd have the guilt forever. If Voldemort tries to kill me again, and I happen to die, don't blame Lily. Don't be sad either. I no how hard it is, but just try. Don't forget you have many people who love you. Just tell her, what if she feels the same way. If she doesn't, then at least she knows. She is probably going to try and hide her feelings, because she really wants to do this. Well, here is my advice, take it or leave it. I love you son. I always will.

Love,

Dad

He read it satisfied. He didn't want to have the guilt that if he did die, he never helped his son out. He tied the letter to the owl and watched it fly away.

Just then there was a knock at the door. It was Marcus Malfoy. He was a dark wizard. No one suspected him though. "So" and Marcus. "I heard what the mudblood Evans is doing." Mr. Potter's face turned red. "How dare you call her that!? She is killing herself for all those innocent people. Oh wait, I forgot you're apart of his group. You must be very angry with her." Mr. Potter said out of anger.
