Underneath It All
Summery
James Potter is the most popular guy in school, but only because of his wealth and looks. He never talks to anyone besides his 3 best friends if he can help it. And James has one rule: never fall in love, but what happens when he meets Lily Evans? Because buried under all the money, good looks and Quidditch is a heart of gold.

Hogwarts, most of the teachers, Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Hogsmead and anything else you recognize belongs to J.K Rowling. Lily's friends and anyone or anything you don't recognize belongs to me, including the plot.

A bad day
It was a bad day for James Potter, worse then usual. Today he got the letter that he had been expecting for so long, but still shocked him when it came. Today he got a letter from his Mother telling him that his Father and her had had enough of the fighting and were getting a divorce.
Bout' bloody time, thought James. It wasn't as if he had a close relationship with his parents, so it wasn't a case of not knowing which parent to live with, it just annoyed him. He had to put up with the fighting for so long and then one day his parents just decide to divorce. It was a pretty stupid reason to be annoyed, but he was.
And from then on James' day went from bad to worse.
He had to endure 2 straight hours of the potions master, Professor Sicker, putting him down at any possible chance (sound familiar, anyone?), had got a fresh load of homework to do before the next day, had no luck with the quidditch tryouts (they were trying to found a new keeper) and to top it all of had a meeting with the prefects that evening.
His musings were interrupted by a voice behind him
'Hi Jimmy'
It was his best friend Sirius Black
'Hey Sirius and I told you it's James not Jimmy' James glanced up so he was facing his friend.
'Yeah, whatever you say. Anyway what's with the gloomy face? You look like your cat's leg has just been amputated' said Sirius, sitting down next to James.
'You know Sirius, I think the expression is 'You look like your dog died' James said, smirking at his best friend
'Yeah, well you know me, never one to go along with the crowd' said Sirius, grinning 'anyway what's with the extreme case of the blues'
James sighed and looked around at his surroundings. The Gryffindor common room was crowded, as it was still fairly early in the evening. There were groups of students doing homework at the round wooden tables and more students sitting on the plush, comfy, scarlet couches.
James turned back to Sirius.
'I got a letter from my parents today, there getting a divorce'
Sirius swore under his breath
'Look, I'm really sorry, mate, it must be hard'
James smiled wryly.
'Doesn't really matter, Si, you know I'm not that close to my parents. I'm all right, just having a bad day '
'Yeah, well, as soon as we get a few pranks underway, you'll feel better, Jim' said Sirius, a dreamy look on his face at the thought of pranks
'If you say so, Si and don't call me Jim' James said narrowing his eyes
'I'll stop when you stop calling me Si' Sirius said, scrunching up his nose at the name James had given him when he was 5.
'You know he couldn't stop calling you that even if he tried, he's been doing it for too long' said a laughing voice from behind them.
James and Sirius' other best friends, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew had joined them in the common room. Together the four friends made up 'The Marauders', the best pranksters in the school.
Even though they were all friends they were all completely different in personality and looks.
Sirius was much louder then his other friends and more outgoing. He was the kind of person who was always up for a challenge.
Sirius had dark eyes and dark straggly hair that just reached his shoulders and was always tied back in a ponytail. He was tall but not as tall as James was.
Remus Lupin was, if there was one, the quiet one of the group. He was fun and always ready for a laugh but if you ever needed advice you would go to Remus.
Remus had sandy brown hair and light brown eyes. He was very thin and quite often looked tired and pale. This was because Remus was a werewolf and his transformations were very exhausting.
Peter Pettigrew was the all round shy one of the group. A lot of people didn't know why Peter was in this group of sporty, smart and funny boys but to Sirius, James and Remus, Peter was and always would be a marauder.
Peter had short dark blonde hair and squinty blue eyes. He was short and rather plump.
And then came James, James the one with the reputation, James the 'scary' one, James with the dysfunctional family.
James had inherited his Father's untidy black hair that no matter how many times you brushed it, it stayed the same. He had gotten his warm, hazel eyes from his Mother.
Remus and Sirius had started up a game of chess, so they stayed like that for an hour until Remus finally won.
James went of to the meeting with the prefects and his other friends went to the library to do homework.
When James entered the spare classroom where the meeting was being held, the room appeared empty, but after looking around the room he saw there was one more person, a girl who looked about 1 or 2 years younger then him. (3 guesses who it is)
At the sound of his footsteps, the girl looked up. James didn't recognize her, she didn't look like most of the girls at Hogwarts.
The girl had wavy red hair and bright green eyes.
James noticed the girl was looking at him, so he nodded in greeting.
The girl gave a small grin and went back to the book she was reading.
Slowly the other prefects and the Head girl started to filter into the room.
James and the Head girl, Janet Denison conducted the meeting and in an hour it was over.
When he got to the common room, James finished his homework then went to bed, glad the day was over.
I dunno bout that chapter. It's a bit crappie. I hate describing the Marauders and Lily. It's so boring, I mean everyone already knows what they look like
Anyway have fun and review
Peace.
