Sorry it's taken so long to get this out, I've just been busy so far. Thank you to all of those who have replied. It means so much to hear from people who read your stories and to hear what they think.  First of all, if you've heard of any of these characters before (like Lily and James ect.) I didn't come up with them. However, if you haven't I did come up with them. Without further ado, I give you chapter 3!

Boy against Girl-Chapter 3-The Fight

It had been several weeks after Andrea had found out about her parents. Kids around Hogwarts where going bazurk, horrified of what might happen next. Half the people walked around, looking like the end of the world was coming, which they all believed. Voldemort had been out for quite some time, torturing families, killing muggles, and about any other thing you could mention. Only a few people could keep good faces on, and James Harry Potter was one of them.

Today he walked around like he was king of the world. Of course, he thought he was. His father was an Auror and was out fighting Voldemort while his mother was safe at home. Nothing could go wrong in his perfect little world. Yeah, the world around him was in chaos, but nothing was affecting him, so why should it matter.

As he walked down the hall towards the Gryffindor Common room, he noticed Lily Evans sitting down on the steps towards the third floor reading. 'Why the heck would a person read out here?' he thought to himself. Lily Evans was always doing things which seemed eccentric to him. Sure she had some good qualities, but she was weird and that was all there was to it. He walked passed her without even a nod or hello, and turned around, deciding to go to the kitchens.

"Potter, are you pacing or just lost?" Lily asked, barely looking up from her book.

"Oh you know me, Evans." He started to reply sarcastically. "Of course I'm lost."

Lily huffed. "Well do me a favor and beat it. You're distracting me."

James just shrugged and started walked back toward the common room. "Sure toots."

Lily rolled her eyes and went back to reading 'Anne of Green Gables' How she wished she had a slate she could bash over James Potter's head. What was his problem anyway? He hadn't been nice to her once since she'd arrived at Hogwarts, or at least not that she'd noticed. Of course she hadn't been to nice to him either, but she was sure he started it. She picked up her school books went towards the library.

She hadn't seen Andrea all day, since they didn't have classes today and Andrea got up earlier than she had. Lily's stomach rumbled and she remembered that she hadn't had any breakfast. Shrugging off her appetite she walked into the library, looking around for And. She only found Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. The last people on earth she'd think to find in here.

"Oh hey Lil!" Remus cried, and was quickly hushed by Madam Pince. He grinned sheepishly and waved for Lily to come over towards them.

"We're looking up some stuff for our potions homework." Sirius said with a secretive grin.

Remus elbowed him in the stomach but didn't turn around.

Lily couldn't resist her grin. "What's it on? I thought that Sirius was one of the best people in your grade at Potions, so I don't see why you need to look anything up."

"Well actually Lil—" Sirius started, once again being hit by Remus to shut up.

"Sirius, if you mention anything to her James'll kill you." Remus muttered.

Lily turned towards Sirius, trying to act like her sister, Petunia, did when she wanted something. "Sirius, you know you can tell me. Potter doesn't have to know."

Sirius grinned. "Now how can I resist that Remus?" He laughed and tugged on Lily's braid.

"You're like the nosey sister I never had." Sirius said, still chuckling.

Lily stuck out her tongue. "Come on you guys. I gotta know now. You've gotten me too curious."

"Gotta know what?" A voice Lily recognized as James' said behind her.

Sirius put on his innocent face and started whistling. Remus hit his head and sighed. Lily turned around, giving him a cold stare.

"Nothing that concerns you, Potter." She spit out. "I was just asking Remus and Sirius to help me at some of my homework. And then Sirius decided he wasn't going to help me with my potions homework, and I have a paper due tomorrow on…" She tried to find a good topic but couldn't. "On the Anamangi Potion. We're talking about it in Transfiguration and Professor McGonagall talked to Professor Chem about having us help and…" Lily broke off. It must have sounded too obvious because the more she talked the madder James seemed to get.

"YOU TOLD HER?" He shouted.

Madame Pince looked up abruptly. "Shhh!"

James still looked furious, but he went to a quiet and cold whisper with his jaw clenched and only is lips moving. "I can not believe you would do a thing like that! It'd betrayal I tell you! Betrayal!"

He stormed out of the library, knocking over a pile of books on his way out. Lily flinched. Sirius whistled.

"That went well, don't you thing Remus?" He asked smiling.

Remus sighed and rolled his eyes. "Just shut up for once Sirius."

**********

Lily went throughout the rest of the day totally confused. James wouldn't talk to anyone but Peter, who didn't mind getting the attention, but it was obvious he was boring James. Remus wouldn't talk to Sirius, and kept trying to talk to James, who would stomp of abruptly. Sirius was he cheerful self, except he was playing chess by himself and losing. And Andrea was doing her homework, which Lily was done with and didn't want any help. Lily decided she'd have to talk to someone or she'd go mad. She decided to be the peacemaker and explain everything to James.

"Look, Potter."


He glared at her. "Don't you talk to me you….you…best friend stealing harpy."

"I don't have any idea what you're talking about Potter."

"Sure you don't, Evans. You just barge right into the library and—"

"Last time I checked I'm allowed to do that"

James went on as if he hadn't heard her. "Charm my friends into giving out secrets and then try to deny it."

"They didn't tell me anything Potter. Maybe if you trusted your friends more you'd believe me."

By this time their voices were raising and they had the whole common rooms attention, even people were coming out of their dormitories.

"I trust my friends its you I don't trust and maybe if you'd stay away from them I wouldn't be so worried they'd tell you things!"

"You tell her off James." Some girl shouted.

"Maybe if you wouldn't be so conceited you'd see that your friends at as big headed as you are and that if you trusted them more they'd trust you more!"

Someone laughed in the crowed. "Tell it to him sister."

"You don't know my friends! We've known each other our whole entire lives. I know them better than anyone in this entire world and I know exactly what they do and why they do it and I know they told you! It was so obvious! If they hadn't told you they'd have told me by now!"

"They've been trying to tell you all day you arrogant pig! But no, the almighty James Potter had to throw his fit like a three-year-old child and not speak to them. Maybe if you let them talk to you you'd see they didn't do anything wrong at all!"

"Then why did you step in there with your whole stupid story?"

"Because I didn't want you to get mad at them!"

"Well I would have gotten mad anyway! Stay away from my friends from now on Evans!"

"You can't tell me what to do, Potter. Sirius and Remus are my friends too now and if you have a problem with that you'll just have to deal with it."

The crowd was really getting into this. They cheered and booed with every comment made. James started to realize that if he didn't win the argument, his whole reputation would go down a notch. And he'd worked hard to make his reputation what it was.

"Look, Evans. You're a first year. You have to get that into your head. If Sirius and Remus want to talk to you, they can. But do you see any other first years following them around? No. Get some self-respect Evans. Get your own friends in your own class."

Lily glared at him. "The same goes to you, Potter. And just to let you know. I hate you."

No one had ever said those words to him. The shock was almost as bad as when she had called him a mudblood.

"Yeah?" He said, trying to sound as cool as he could. "I hate you too."

They both walked to opposite corners of the common room, and crowed separated, going to back to what they were doing before.

"Can you believe she actually said that stuff to him?" Some third year asked from friends.

"Can you believe he said some of that stuff back?" Another said.

Whispers and rumors went around like a wild fire. Lily sighed and sat down by Andrea. Remus walked over to James and Peter, and Sirius followed behind. He looked at Lily and shrugged.

"Great." Lily muttered. "Just great."

All of her other first year friends where staring at her, as if she had broken some unwritten law that had just been clarified. James Potter had told her to stay in her own class, with all the other first years. But he had also said he hated her, making her as bad as Slytherins almost in their eyes.

Andrea patted her on the arm. "Don't worry, this'll blow over in a few days. James will apologize in a few days and everything will be back to normal."

"Sure it will Andrea." Lily sighed. "Sure it will."

**********

It was a week later and James and Lily still weren't speaking. If they had to walk past each other they made a huge deal out of making sure they were as far away as possible. Lily hadn't really lost anything really. Sure most of the girls looked at her as if she had lipstick on her teeth, but most of the guys, in all classes, looked at her with some newfound respect. Finally there was a girl who didn't worship the ground he walked on. Of course, Quidditch season was starting soon, so they weren't all sure they could keep her, but they were at least sure she wouldn't be as bad as the others. Remus and Sirius talked to Lily though, and every time they did James glared at Lily as coldly as he could.

Lily left the breakfast table, and Sirius followed.

"Lil, I'd like to apologize for James. He's been a little out of himself this whole year I guess you could say. We're all just really stressed and I guess he finally blew over."

Lily looked up at him disgustedly. "Si. I don't want you apologizing for him. It's really no big deal. Plus if he's really sorry he can apologize himself."


Sirius grinned. "Oh wouldn't that be a sight." He laughed and then calmed down at the glare

Lily gave him. "But really, he regrets a ton of the stuff he says. But I want you to know, you will always have me and Remus for friends."

Lily smiled up at him. "Thanks bro."

Sirius laughed. "Is that what I am now?"

"Well, I believe the last time we talked you said that I was like the nosey sister you've never had. And I've had lots of time to think and have decided that you're the rude brother I've never had."

Sirius tried his best to look offended. "So now I'm rude?"

"All brothers have to be rude sometimes." Lily grinned and then whispered. "But you're my favorite."

Sirius stuck out his chest and started walked about towards the entrance hall, but stopped when Lily broke out laughing.

"What?" Sirius asked as he turned around.

"Oh nothing." Lily said between breaths.

"It is too something! What?"

"You just reminded me of someone." She said calming down a little.

"Who?" Sirius asked confused.

Lily broke out laughing about again. "James!"

With that she started to run to the common room to get her books for classes.

**********

Ok that's all with this chapter I guess. Chapter 4 will be out soon and it will either be the end of Lily's first year or the start of her second. Unless of course you want more and more of it moving this slowly. J You tell me and I'll decide. *hehe* Anyway…PLEASE r/r. It means so much to hear what you have to say, and the fast you respond the fast I can write.
