Chapter 2- That boy and his mirror

"JAMES HARRISON POTTER! HURRY UP I'M STARVING!" came Sirius' scream up the stairwell.

James Potter ran his hand through his hair for the fiftieth time that day and loosened his tie slightly, ignoring his best friend's call.

"James! How long can a guy stare at himself in a mirror before breakfast! How can you even look at your face on an empty stomach? Hurry up or we're leaving without you!" Sirius was very impatient in the mornings. He needed his food.

He picked up his 11inch Mahogany wand and swished it in the air, producing the words "I love Lily Evans" in bright red letters, then with a flick of his wand wiped it away.

"Today is the day," he thought, flashing himself his cocky smile in the mirror. Then he sighed; he said that everyday!

**************************************************************************** ***

Sirius was standing in the portrait hole with Remus and Peter. He opened his mouth to yell out to James for a final time when he saw the raven- haired boy saunter down the stairs and slowly make his way towards them.

"Finally!" sighed Sirius rather exasperated.

"Oh, you guys waited for me? You shouldn't have!" cooed James as he pushed past them and opened the portrait hole.

"Good morning ma'am!" he said, slightly dipping his head towards the Fat Lady guarding the entrance to the Gryffindor Tower.

"Good morning Mr. Potter!" she giggled.

"James Potter you conceited son-of-a-bitch! You know you were in front of that mirror for over half an hour? No boy takes that long to get ready! And now you're flashing your smiles at portraits and making them blush! You're too much!" laughed Sirius punching James on the shoulder.

"You know you're no better Padfoot!" laughed Remus quietly from behind. "With all those special spells you put on your hair in the morning!"

Sirius turned around and scowled at Remus as they walked through the doors into the Great Hall.

"FOOD!" cried Sirius, running to the Gryffindor table and grabbing a piece of toast from the end nearest to the door then finding a seat further up.

Laughing at his best friends antics, James Climbed into a seat next to Lily Evans' friend, Josephine.

"Hey Josie!" he said, winking at her suggestively as he reached over her and piled his plate with scrambled eggs. "Good morning James!" she giggled. She was the only one of Lily's friends that didn't despise him, even her twin sister had no patience for the cocky seeker.

"How is my sweet Lily flower this morning?" he said, sipping on pumpkin juice and looking at her over his goblet.

"Other than in no way being YOUR 'Lily Flower' I think she's fine! I left the common room before her, so don't worry you may be able to catch her and ask her out 5 times before breakfast is over!" she laughed, pushing her plate away and getting up.

"I think I'll go and warn her that you're looking for her, maybe she'll stay in bed today!" she said as she walked away from the table, laughing to herself and mumbling "Lily flower?" a couple of times.

James sighed and began to eat his food slowly, laughing dryly at Sirius' jokes.

He watched the door and his eyes lit up as he watched Lily walk in the door, flanked by her usual group of giggly friends.

"Good morning Evans!" he said in his most suave voice as she passed.

She looked at him and rolled her eyes, and kept walking as far up the table as possible.

James picked up his plate and followed her a little distance behind. She sat down up near some 7th years, including the Gryffindor Quiditch captain. James followed, sitting opposite Lily and next to Justin Fowler, the Quiditch captain.

"So what's on the agenda for our next practice Cap'n?" he asked as he pushed himself in next to Justin. Flashing a quick smile at Lily, who looked away with a bored look on her face.

"Oh you know, this and that. A few drills and stuff. Why do you ask Potter?" said Justin, trying to keep his best seeker pleased.

"Oh, I just want to be prepared!" said James, trying to catch Lily's eye and instinctively running his hand through his messy hair.

"Hey Lily! How did you sleep?" he asked getting sick of her silent treatment.

"Fine!" she spat at him before turning back to her friends.

"No need to be a bitch." he muttered to himself before getting up to walk out of the hall.

**************************************************************************** ***

Later that day, James caught up with Lily and stopped her. He hadn't had a chance to ask her out yet today and he didn't like to let a day go by without asking. He hoped that if he asked her enough eventually she'd give in and go out with him.

Unfortunately, she had much the same idea! She thought that if she kept saying no, he'd eventually give up and stop asking and both of them were too stubborn to give in.

"Oh Evans, if only words could express your beauty!" he said as suavely as possible.

"Oh James!" she replied in a fake sweet voice "If only your brain was as big as your ego, then you wouldn't have to come to school and we wouldn't have to put up with you! Either that or your head would explode!" she turned away and walked off.

"Come on Evans!" he said, grabbing her wrist and turning her back round to face him "Just come out on one date with me and then tell me you don't like me! I can prove you'll be able to like me after one date!" he said.

"Not on your life! There's no way in hell I'd ever date you James Potter!! Now LEAVE ME ALONE!" she turned around and walked off, pulling her arm out of his hand.

James sighed and ran his hand through his hair before walking off to find his friends.

**************************************************************************** ***

Lily sunk down into her seat in transfiguration and waited for the rest of her class to file in. she ran a hand through her long red hair and then started to plait it slightly to the side. She just finished when professor McGonagall and the rest of her class filled the room.

Her best friends sat down in the seats she'd saved for them and they all got out their parchment and quills to begin taking notes.

"Quiet, class!" said McGonagall, bringing the class into order. She looked sternly over Lily's head causing the girls to turn around and look at what she was scowling at.

"I said quiet, Mr. Potter!" she said, looking very tight-lipped. James and Sirius were throwing rolled up bits of paper at Severus Snape who was sitting right up the front.

"Sorry Professor." Said James, putting his hands behind his back and flashing the stern teacher one of his blinding smiles.

"Don't let it happen again Mr. Potter or you will be serving detention. You would have to be one of the only students to ever serve detention in their first week EVERY year, including their first!" she said, keeping her mouth tight but her eyes showed the slightest bit of amusement.

Lily rolled her eyes and turned back to face the front as Rosie giggled next to her. Lily noticed out of the corner of her eye she had blown a kiss towards the back row.

By the end of the lesson James, Sirius and Snape all had detentions. Snape for insulting students and threatening to hex them and James and Sirius for provoking him, Lily was glad she wasn't a teacher babysitting rats like them.

Lily collected her things and got up to walk to her Arithmancy class. As she walked out the door, someone rushed past her and held it open for her. she looked up and saw James smirking at her in a way that he evidently thought was sexy.

"Thank you Potter, but I can open doors myself!" she spat, walking past him through the door.

"Can't a guy show some chivalry in this day and age?" he asked, taking large steps to catch up with her.

"Not if that guy is you Potter!" She said, speeding up a little bit.

"And why is that my Lily flower?" he asked, keeping up with her perfectly.

"Because you are a self-obsessed, big-headed, arrogant pig of a boy who annoys the hell out of me and who I wish was just DEAD!" she said through gritted teeth, pushing him away and turning into her Arithmancy class.

"Wow," said James as he leant back against the wall beside her classroom. "Lily is just SO SEXY when she's mad! And she's good at listing Synonyms." He laughed at his own joke as he sauntered off to his next class.
