! @#$%^&*()

James Potter woke up early. As it was Saturday, there was no need to get ready for classes, or anything else for that matter.

He slipped his clothes on and made his way down to the Common Room. There was a slender, dark shape huddled on the biggest red couch.

James approached it in caution. As he neared the figure, he heard sobs, coming from the body. At least it wasn't dead.

"Hello?" He asked slowly.

The girl, it seemed, turned over and showed her face.

" 'Morning, Jamie." She said, sounding a bit depressed.

"LESLIE?" James yelped, backing away from her.

"Yes, it's me." Leslie replied, staring at James with interest.

"What ARE you doing here? In the Gryffindor Common Room?" He inquired, still backing away.

"Oh-I-I just stayed here, on the floor, when you threw me out." She stuttered, glaring for the first time at James.

James shook his head. Would the girl EVER understand? Probably not.

"Get out now!" He said, with no hesitation.

"Nnnnooo! I want to stay here with you!" Leslie begged.

"There is no doubt that you will be found, in the WRONG Common Room! Go somewhere else!" James said firmly. He grabbed Leslie by the arm and dragged her to the Fat Lady's portrait hole.

"Go away Leslie. We're done." He said, pushing her out.

"No! Jamie-poo! I still love you! I always did!" Leslie bawled.

James rolled his eyes. She was so pathetic!

"Well I don't and never did. So, go away and go find someone else who you love." He said bluntly.

"But-but-Jamie! Please, honey bun-" Leslie began, but was shut off by James slamming the frame in her face.

****

Lily Evans was walking down to breakfast with Audrey Trical, when a brown, curly haired girl came up, starling her.

"Hello!" Leslie said cheerily.

Lily looked confused. Wasn't this the girl that Potter was going out with?

"Er-hi." Lily responded uneasily.

"My name is Leslie! What's yours?" The brunette asked, twirling her hair around and around, making Lily get irritated.

"Lily. Lily Evans." She answered, looking at the girl curiously.

Leslie smiled sweetly and said, "Pleased to meet you! I just wanted to talk to you about James."

Lily frowned.

"Potter?" She asked, waiting for Leslie's answer.

"Yes! That is precisely the person that I would like to talk about." Leslie replied, still smiling innocently.

"Why?" Audrey spoke up, crossing her arms. The mysterious girl was pretty, but suspicious as well.

"Oh-my dear! I didn't see you there!" Leslie exclaimed brightly, proceeding to shake Audrey's hand.

Lily and Audrey exchanged a puzzled glance. Leslie was definitely strange.

"What about Potter? You wanted to ask me something?" Lily questioned, raising her eyebrow skeptically.

"Yes, yes! I was merely going to ask what kind of status are you with him?" Leslie said, looking at the red head's expression.

Lily thought this insane. What did Leslie care? James and her were . . .not friends, peers perhaps?

"We are simply peers, I guess I would say." Lily said, wondering intently on when Leslie would leave her alone.

"Oh, all right. What did you-" Leslie began, disappointed.

"Uh, Lily and I must go now!" Audrey cut her short.

Lily nodded enthusiastically, and the two friends took off down the hall, heading towards the school grounds.

****

"La la la la la la!" Sirius Black sung on the top of his breath, attracting much attention.

"Sirius! Shut up!" James snapped.

The Marauders were walking down to the sun-drenched grounds, where the rest of the school was bathing and laying around on the green grass.

"No! Singing is lovely!" Sirius retorted, poking his tongue out at James.

"Not when you sing!" He said, sticking his tongue out as well.

"Yes! I'm a PRO-FESS-IONAL singer!" Sirius explained to his best friend as if he was a two-year-old.

James rolled his eyes and replied, "Yeah, a professional loser!"

Sirius pretended to be hurt and put his hand on his heart.

"Oh! James! What a terrible thing to sa-" Sirius cried.

"Shut up BOTH of you!" Remus said loudly.

James and Sirius obeyed, reluctantly though. Every couple of minutes, they glared at each other.

Finally, the Marauders came to the large front doors of the amazing Hogwarts castle. They passed through them, and found an empty spot of grass.

Lily and Audrey were sitting right next to them. Lily was writing in a book, and her friend was shredding grass blades to pieces.

James lay back on the patch of grass, watching Lily closely. He noticed how the sun shone on her copper-colored hair, making it glow. Her hair seemed so . . . soft and silky. So much that James wanted to reach up and touch it.

Meanwhile, Sirius was gazing at Audrey with interest. She was just looking at her surroundings, and ripped grass to tiny pieces. Nobody would think of Sirius as a romantic person, but he was. A bit. A tiny bit. Okay, a tiny tiny bit.

Audrey had a dark complexion. Her hair was a deep brown, and her eyes were a brown color too. She definitely wasn't thin either, but she exciting and motivating. At least to some people.

Remus hopped up, pulling Peter Pettigrew with him. He mentioned to Sirius that they were leaving. Sirius tilted his head to the side, raising his eyebrow.

Remus scowled.

"Come on Sirius! Let James have his 'time' with Evans!" He hissed.

Sirius grinned and helped himself off the ground. The three Marauders left quietly so as to James not noticing them gone. And he didn't; he was too absorbed in watching Lily.

Audrey tapped Lily's shoulder.

"I'm going inside, all right?" She asked. Lily nodded.

After a few minutes, Lily looked up, feeling someone's eyes on her. It was a weird sense of feeling.

Her clear, pure green eyes met Potter's hazel ones. He grinned sheepishly, got up from his spot and plopped next to Lily.

"Hello!" He said cheerfully.

Lily smiled, "Hi!"

Many students were looking at the pair curiously. Lily Evans and James Potter were sworn enemies! Now the two were sitting rather, er, close together.

"How is your Transfiguration coming along?" He asked inquiringly.

"Fine. How about your Charms?" Lily replied.

James lay down, hands behind his head.

"All right, I guess. What were you writing?" He said, pointing to the little book beside Lily.

"Oh-nothing." She answered, hurriedly covering up the feather- light book with her cloak.

"Oh come on! Let me see!" James pleaded, reaching for the bundle.

"No! Potteeerrrrr!" Lily shrieked, slapping his hand away from her cloak.

When Lily's hand briefly touched his, James felt a sort of jolt in his arm. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced, and he wondered if Lily had felt it too. He shook himself mentally. It was probably some growing pain, or maybe he was going to have a heart attack! No no, that was the LEFT arm, not the right.

"What?" James asked, putting on a grin.

"DON'T look in my diar-er, notebook!" Lily covered up, but not quick enough.

"That's what it is! Your diary! Can I see it?" James begged, doing his famous puppy eyes.

"Sure." Lily smiled; holding it up so James could only see the cover.

James stuck out his tongue.

"I wanna see the WHOLE thing. What you WROTE!" He pronounced each word slowly.

"No way!" Lily shook her head, putting the journal back, "It's all girly stuff."

"Yeah, so?" James asked.

"So you can't see it."

"But I want to!"

"Well, your not! It's mine!"

"Excuse me . . .Lily?" Said a familiar voice to both teenagers.

The beautiful brunette (A/N-see how I don't make her blonde! **jumps up and down**) glowered down upon them, her curly hair falling in front of her shoulders. Lots would have said she was an angry angel, but to others who knew her, they would say she was the delirious devil.

"Yes?" Lily said coldly.

"Remember what I asked you early today?" Leslie asked, sneering unpleasantly.

"Well, yeah."

"You weren't telling the truth. You lied!" The fallen 'angel' stated.

"What? Does that offend that cult of yours?" Lily shrugged, gesturing to the group of girls behind Leslie.

Leslie put her hands on her hips and began heatedly, "That's not-"

"My God, Leslie! Go AWAY already!" James interrupted.

"Jamie! Stay out of this!" Leslie turned her head towards the only boy.

"I'm not in anything! You annoy Lily; you annoy me! Go away for the last time!" He responded, clearly very annoyed.

Lots of girls approached Leslie's side, glaring at Lily and James.

James laughed, "Did you bring your army with you?"

"Obviously," Lily huffed, getting up, "I'm going."

James nodded, grinning broadly.

"I'll come too!" He said, catching up with the temperamental, red haired girl.

Leslie yelled at them both to come back, but they ignored her.

"We seem to get into a lot of trouble with people, don't we?" James smiled slyly at Lily.

Lily laughed, throwing her head back.

"Yes, it seems so." She replied.

"I officially hate Leslie." James said simply.

"Yeah, me too." Lily agreed.

James looked at her in wonder. Lily wasn't really the person you would expect to be hateful, but he guessed it was possible.

The two stayed silent. Lily noticed that James hadn't been asking her out lately, or being such a prat around her. She liked him better this way, much better.

James glanced down at his Wizard Watch.

"It's already lunch time!" He exclaimed.

"Oh well, I better go meet Audrey then. She's probably expecting me." Lily stated.

"All right. Sirius and Remus are waiting for me . . .I hope." James said.

He hadn't seen his fellow Marauders since they arrived at the grounds.

"Bye then!" Lily said, walking through the doors, towards the Great Hall.

"Bye!" James yelled over the noise in the Entrance Hall. But she was already gone.

****

James gazed longingly at Lily at lunch. She was talking animatedly to Audrey and another girl he didn't recognize. She was so, so pretty . . . and-

"Prongsie! PRONGSIE!" Sirius Black waved his hand in front of James' face.

"What?" He snapped irritably.

"I'd like you to meet my new girlfriend! Come on James! Stop going all, creepy and stuff." Sirius said importantly.

James rolled his eyes and asked, "Fine! Where is she?"

"Right here," Sirius put his arm around the girl, "James, meet Leslie Seders."

James gaped at his best friend and the brown haired girl. Leslie?

"Oh-my-God." James said slowly in disgust.

"What?" Sirius asked, confused.

"Padfoot, she was my girlfriend just last night!" He hissed, "She's pure evil!"

"What are you talking about?" Sirius said with bewilderment in his tone.

"She's not what you expect her to be!" James said, glancing at Leslie.

"I'm not invisible you know!" She said, sounding a bit angry, but sweet none-the-less.

Sirius turned around to look at her.

"Yes, I know you aren't." He grinned.

Leslie smiled and took his hand.

"Lets go, Siri-poo!" She said excitedly, glaring at James when Sirius turned his back to her.

James gagged. Siri-poo? Come on!

"All right!" Sirius agreed; casting a puzzled look at James at he strode off with Leslie.

James sighed. His best friend had no idea what he was getting into. Leslie was a disease with no cure. And it was true.

James felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Lily Evans slid into the seat next to him.

"Hey. I saw Black walk off with the devil." She smiled.

"Yep. Sirius is now her new boyfriend. I warned him though." James replied grimly.

"Really? So quick?" Lily asked, furrowing her forehead.

"Um-hum," He mumbled, "And she's calling him 'Siri-poo' now."

Lily laughed quietly.

"He's in for it."

"Yeah."

Lily looked him through her green eyes. He looked pretty vulnerable at the moment. He slumped forward on the bench, putting his face in his hands. She thought it sweet that he was so concerned for his best friend. At least he wasn't thinking of himself.

Lily saw Audrey waving at her.

"I gotta go! Bye!" She said, patting James on the back.

He looked up and smiled.

"Bye."

She smiled back at him. She smiled the smile saved especially for him. Him, James Potter.
