Prologue:
It's a well known fact that you do not go out with Lily Evans. Well, you could try, but only if you wanted to wake up in the hospital wing with your face smashed in.
Why, you ask? James Potter, that's why. You know: Quidditch Captain, Head Boy, Leader of the Marauders. He and Lily are the best of friends, very protective of each other.

Why, you ask? Lily Evans, that's why. You know: Head Girl, top of all her classes, nicest girl in school. Well, only nice if you didn't try to get fresh with James.
Lily Evans and James Potter, doomed to be single for the rest of their lives, unless they would just open their eyes and see how perfect they are for each other.
Chapter One:
The Beginning of the End
"Lily! I can't believe you kicked her!" James Potter exclaimed, not angrily, just slightly amused and astonished.
"Well, you're way too good for her. She's one of those people that only goes for looks, you're better than that, James." She recited placidly, though in her eyes you could see the vengeance.
James laughed full and sincere as he slung an arm playfully around Lily, "You know what Lily, we're are probably the only 7th years in the history of the school to never have a relationship that lasted more than a day. The longest I've ever had a girlfriend was a week, only because you sure hit Katie Willing hard!"
A triumphant glint passed over Lily's face as they approached the Fat Lady's portrait, "It was in self defense. She was going to slam me against the wall. And besides, why did you even say yes to her? It's not like she has the brain capacity to do anything besides whine and sit there like an annoyingly perky blow-up doll."
"Well she doesn't anymore!" James said as he swiftly dodged Lily's slap and dove into the portrait hole.
Remus Lupin's head shot up as he saw a streak of black hair sprint through the entrance to the Commons.
"Hide me!" James squealed as he scrambled behind the red velvet couch Remus was lounging on.
Soon after, Lily stalked in, like a hunter searching for its prey. Her bright green eyes narrowed as she swiftly scanned the common room for target. Lily threw a questioning look to Remus, but said nothing. He silently lifted an arm and pointed behind the couch to where James was cowering.
Lily crept up to her friends hiding place, she saw him crouched on the floor with his hands over his head. She giggled inwardly as she yelled, "Ah ha! My horse!" and jumped on his back, "Buttercup! Where have you been?" she cooed to James as though he was a stallion.
"Traitor!" James cried to Remus as the boy was doubling over with laughter. James reluctantly rose with Lily latched onto his back like a child. Regarding her, as though she wasn't there James made to sit on the couch.
"AHHHH!" Lily screamed, "NO! DON'T SIT ON ME!" as she jumped off him deftly.
"James one - Lily Zero." Remus accounted, watching everything in amusement, "So, to what do I owe this disturbance of the peace and sanity?"
"James just accused me of making Katie Willings brain dead!" Lily said indignantly.
"Sorry Lils, I'll have to side with Prongs on this one. She is quite a bit dumber than she was before you gave her a concussion." Remus explained.
Lily laughed, lovely and bell-like. The laughter rang through the room and everyone present smiled. Lily's laughter gave meaning to the saying: 'The best things in life are free.'
Lily plopped between James and Remus on the couch they were sharing. Of course, she didn't take up that much room, for her small frame peaked at 5'1. She leaned back against her best friend and put her feet up on Remus "I'm surprised I'm not some sort of tomboy, considering how much time I spend with you guys."
"Well, I wish you would spend more time with Sirius. A pity he couldn't stay for the holidays." James turned his attention to the snow falling rapidly in front of the window.
"Yeah, such a pity." Lily said rolling her eyes.
"Lils," Remus asked, "Why do you hate Padfoot so much?"
"Oh you see that's where you have it wrong, Rem. Sirius and I don't hate each other, we just pretend to. I actually find him rather fetching." Lily said seriously.
James' eyes went wide, and jaw slack, "Please tell me you're kidding, Lily."
"Oh, Jamesy, of course I am. Why would I fancy Sirius, when me a Remy over here are courting," Stated Lily as though she were talking to a five year old. She then crawled across the couch, sat in Remus' lap and slung her arm around his neck.
Remus then, in turn, wrapped his arms around Lily's waist, "Sorry we didn't tell you James. I didn't fancy waking up in the hospital wing."
It looked like that throbbing vein in James' head was about to explode. You could practically see the smoke billowing from his ears. "Prongs! Calm down!" Remus yelled as untangled himself from the small redhead, "We were only joshing you!" Lily laughed again, that seemed to calm James down. somewhat.
"Yah Jamie! It was a joke; learn to take one!" She said as she resumed her former position, leaning against James, and feet on Remus.
"Besides, James, why do you always get so worked up when Lily tells you she has a boyfriend?" Remus inquired thoughtfully.
"Well I."
