Lily's life is falling into pieces but will someone come along and put her back together? ~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*********************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lily Evans was pissed off. Sirius Black had made comments about her 'chest' at breakfast. It wasn't her fault that it was smaller then the rest. Red faced and pissed off most of the time was what Lily Evans was most known for. Nasty comments usually came from her mouth only. Serenity came over to Lily looking almost exited and flushed.

"Lily, I-I think that I'm in love with James Potter! I swear!" Serenity said. She had the most beautiful blond hair you could ever imagine, crystal blue eyes that shown in the sun.

"That's um.nice Serenity." Lily tried to look positive. Lily had bright red hair that fell past her shoulders and curled slightly on the ends. Green emerald eyes were her best feature, one look at them and you'd feel like you've been swallowed into pools of green.

"Lily, I hate to say this but um.I'm too afraid to go ask him out! You know what happens every time." Serenity blushed.

"You chicken out on the last moment. Yeah, yeah all of that bullshit." Lily replied.

"Lily! Don't say that! It's really rude! I hate it when you-" Serenity complained.

"Shut the f**** up Serenity! Uh.I'll just go tell Potter that you want to go out with him and smack; you've got your self a date!" Lily finished.

"Thank you so much Lily!" Serenity gave Lily a quick hug and said, "Go now! I want to have a date with him this Saturday, you know, Hogsmeade weekend coming up." Serenity replied.

"Fine." Lily left her spot at the table and went over to where James Potter was sitting.

"This Sunday, Moony is-" James didn't get to finish his sentence when Lily came over.

"Listen Potter, my friend wants to go out with you and you better do it!" Lily threatened.

"O, is Evans threatening me? Going out with her friend? I never knew she even had a friend!" James smirked.

"I do have a friend you-you-stuffed cloak-bag of guts!" Lily said venomously glaring at him. (A/N: I just had to put that in.)

"I would never go out with some freaky friend of yours Evans. Now get lost!" James said.

"Go burn in hell you piece of dog shit!" Lily left him and went back to Serenity.

"Lily! Now you've totally ruined my chances with James Potter! I hate you! GO AWAY YOU FREAK OF NATURE!" Serenity left the Great Hall crying.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*2 years later 6th year~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lily was walking to class as quickly as she could. Serenity and her bunch of popular friends were going to get there soon and Lily didn't want anything to do with them for the rest of her life. Teased, and put-downs had been a part of Lily's life now for 2 years after her attempt to ask James Potter out for her best friend. She sighed, here they come. Walking like they owned the world, Serenity, Mary Jane, Molly and Alyssa walked down the hall to get to class.

"Hey look everybody! There's Miss Freak!" Molly pointed. She had her hair in pig-tails and an extra shirt button was open.

Giggles spread out between the group.

"Shut up! Will just leave me alone for crying out loud!" Lily's face went red.

"Look, that baby's blushing!" Serenity smirked.

"Come in class! No time to waist!" Professor Merck fussed.

The conversation ended there and everybody went to class.

***************************************************************** That evening Lily was walking around the grounds looking for nothing in particular. After a few moment she heard something move. Lily took her wand out ready to attack. A silvery stag came out from behind a bush.

"Um.hi?" Lily said uncertainly. "I'm not going to bite, even if the rumors at school say so.

The stag took a few steps forward and looked at her.

"Look if you want me to talk, I'll talk. I've got nothing better to do anyway."

The stag looked curious.

"First off, my life is a mess. Second, I was supposed to get my best friend a date with James Potter 2 years ago, but I messed it up totally and now Serenity hates my guts. Third, I hate being teased. I don't know why the popular girls and the Marauders do but that's none of my business. Forth, everyone hates me. Fifth, I WANT A FRIEND!" Lily said. "And it's not my fault I say a few bad words every now-and-then and get pissed off most the time."

The stag looked sorry for her. Suddenly, the stag seemed to change into a person. James Potter stood in front of her. Lily felt her eyes pop out when she saw who was standing in front of her. Too shocked to say anything, Lily just stood there.

"I-I never know it would hurt you so much-that teasing. It was just supposed to be a joke!" James looked ashamed. "I'm really, really sorry Lily. That thing that I said to you in the Great Hall a few years ago wasn't very true. I'll be your friend, and I'll make sure that nobody teases you again."

"That's really kind of you.but really, me? I'm so rude to people and-" Lily started to say but James cut off.

"You are the way you are. Everyone is." James replied. "Now, how about helping me prank Snape?"

Both grinned evilly.

"Pink hair?"

"Definitely."

"I have no clue why I'm even doing this."

"Because Snape's mean?"

"Nah, I think it's because I've got a new friend."

Lily and James walked to the castle together thinking of a prank.
