Summary: Lily Evans hates James Potter until their 6th year at Hogwarts. Will it be love or friendship that changes their relationship?………..Read to find out.

A/N: Well this my first fic, so it may sound a little weird at first. But please give it a go. 

Chapter 1: If war is what you want, then war is what you get.

'Back again' thought Lily Evans as she stepped through the barrier between platform 9 and 10. She had on a bright red top to match her hair and she wore a pair of three-quarter pants. She took a deep breath as she looked around to try and find her friends. Then she spotted her arch- enemy ' James Potter ' she cursed in her head.

James was followed closely by a jumpy looking Sirius Black who Lily didn't mind as much. The Marauders had pranked lily from when they met till 5th year. Sirius and Remus had asked for her forgiveness, but thinking it was a prank, Lily did not except.

-Flashback-

Earlier that day Lily would have been found at the library but not now, no she was at the lake trying to get her clothing out of it. The so-called Marauders had decided it would be funny to throw them there.

'Living in this place is like living in hell' Lily thought as she walked towards the castle holding her wet clothing.

"Hey Lils, Why are you holding wet clothing?" asked a confused Sirius

"Like you don't know!" replied an angry Lily

-End Flashback-

"LILEEEEEEEEEE…" she was jolted back to reality by a very excited Arabella Figg.

"Bella!!!" Lily excitedly screamed back. As she raced towards her, forgetting the fact that the Marauders were still watching her. But Bella did notice and forgot about saying a proper hello to Lily, as she raced over to Sirius. Bella has always had a HUGE crush on Sirius.

"Well at least I'll give you a hug" Lily turned around to see Amanda Kurt and Emma Heart.

" Mandy, Em, where did you guys come from?" asked a puzzled Lily.

"We came from behind the watchers over there" replied Em pointing towards the Marauders and Bella, who was all over Sirius and funny enough Sirius was actually paying attention to her and laughing at her jokes. Then again Bella WAS a people person everyone payed attention and loved her.

"Bella over here if you don't mind" yell an angry Amanda. Bella jumped then responded with a soft 'ok' and let go of Sirius while James and Remus rolled their eyes and Peter (A/N: RAT RAT RAT GRRRRRRRRR if you can tell I HATE that little rat. * shakes fist at computer*) had no idea what was going on. He was off in his own world wishing he could have at least one girlfriend but it would NEVER happen.

"Come on Bella, lets go get a compartment before we have to share with those losers " Lily called over her shoulder as she had already started to get onto the train.

"They are not losers and I SAID I was coming, so get off MY BACK!" Bella called after but before she could walk away she was pulled back to Sirius and he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek only to be given death glares by half the girls population of Hogwarts. Sirius was also given stares by not only the Marauders but by Mandy and Em as they were waiting for Bella.

Lily found a compartment and waited for the rest to show up. 'What's taking so long for them to come. I thought they were right behind me.' Then Mandy came in red faced and angry.

"What happened once I left and don't tell me it was nothing 'cause I can see from your face that its not." Said an anxious Lily wanting to know what happened, 'cause the look on Mandy's face only ever appeared when she was angry at Sirius. She hated the way he acted towards girls. You see Mandy was a victim of James, she went out with him for over a month and she thought they were really going somewhere until he dumped her when she asked why he changed the subject. Two days later he would only speak during classes or to say 'hi'.

Mandy and Lily had started a 'Hate the Marauders Forever Club', considering they both hated James the most, it kinda turned into a, 'Hating James Potter Club' which gave them a lot of respect from the Slytherin's. After that a lot of pranks were then directed 'accidentally' towards them when they walked by the Marauders in the hallways.

Lily was dieing to hear what Sirius had done this time, but Bella quickly changed the subject so Lily would not hear what had happened because she knew that she would never live to hear the end of it.

"So Lily, did you by any chance get prefect…?" Bella asked hopping that Lily would forget the fact that her question was not answered.

"Bella, I owled you when I got the letter, silly, what were you saying Mandy?" Lily asked

But Mandy, seeing Bella's attempt to change the subject, lied to Lily

"THAT POTTER GR – " but she never finished because she was cut off by none other than…

"What about me?" James asked

"Nothing just your usual self and maybe the fact that you exist if you know what I mean." Everyone turned to see Severus Snape in the doorway holding a booklet that he was being very protective about.

"Who asked you Snape?" Em asked, she always took Bella's side. She thought it was wrong to be mean to anyone but then again she was friends with The Marauders so it could just be that.

"Well Potter needed his question answered before his head grew to big for his body" answered Snape. Lily knew Em too well; she jumped up and pushed Severus out of the compartment.

"Lily I just wanted to give you book that me and the guys wrote." Severus handed over a book that looked like someone had made for him.

The title was 'How To Hate James Potter: volume 1'

"Wow Severus this must have taken a long time to make. Thankyou Mandy and I will read it and then tell you how we liked it." She then went back into the compartment only to have the book snatched off her by none other than James.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here…" James started " How To Hate James Potter: Volume 1" at this James eyes grew cold and cloudy, while Mandy had brighten up a whole lot.

Mandy had been getting owls from Severus who had been telling her about his book and what was going in it. She had even put in some suggestions that he said helped the book sound even crueler.

"LISTEN I KNOW YOU HATE ME BUT I DON'T NEED THIS  FROM YOU, OK? I HAVE TRIED BEING NICE TO YOU FOR THE PAST YEAR AND YOU HAVE TAKEN IT IN AS A JOKE, WELL IT WASN'T BUT IF YOU CANT SEE THAT THEN IM WAISTING MY TIME. IF WAR IS WHAT YOU WANT THEN WAR IS WHAT YOU'LL GET. Bella, Sirius wanted you that is why I came. If anyone else wants to come they are welcome except…" James looked at Lily then pointed to her "… her."

With that he walked away. Bella left to find Sirius and Em was too scared to stay so she went with Bella. Lily was shocked to hear that after all of her time refusing to forgive the Marauders she could've been friends with them. She quickly forgot about that when she heard Mandy laughing so much that the book was on the floor.

'So its funny is it?' thought Lily 'Well lets just see about that.'

 Lily opened the book and on the first page was a cartoon of James getting a big kick up the bum by Lily and then it switched to Mandy kicking James, and again it switched till everyone she knew that hates James had kicked him up the ass.

Lily dropped the book and was on the floor laughing. Mandy, still laughing, fell into a deeper laugh along with Lily. They stopped just in time to change into their robes. The train was slowing down into the Hogsmeade station. They were home at last.

(A/N well that's it for the first chapter I hope you liked it. Please review. And I will update soon.)
