A/n: Thanks to J.E.A.R.K Potter who reviewed. I appreciate it! Anyway, on with the story. Just a reminder, '..' are a character's thoughts.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Lily Evans was exhausted. Writing a 4-foot long History of Magic essay, all alone in the Gryffindor Common Room wasn't exactly her ideal way of spending the night. But, being the studious and erudite person that she was, she worked throughout the night until she finally finished at around 3:30 in the morning. Too fatigued to go to the Girls Dormitory, she collapsed on the nearby couch with her essay lying on the table next to it.

In the Boys Dormitory in the morning...

"James, wake up!" Remus cried for the third time, pulling the curtains from James' four-poster bed.

"Remus...I'm telling you nicely for the last time! GO AWAY!!!" James yelled sleepily.

"Remus, just give up. You've been doing this every morning for the past six years and it has never worked before, so why will asking him nicely work now?" Sirius asked.

"Exactly! People need to learn to leave me alone!" James muttered from the mess of tangled bed sheets and pillows.

Ignoring that comment, Sirius continued in a whisper so that only Remus could hear, "Watch the master, and learn!" * He slowly skulked to where James was sleeping and got close to the pillow under which James head was, and then yelled at the top of his lungs, "JAMESIE POO! IT'S TIME TO GET UP! WOULDN'T WANT TO KEEP THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, LILY EVANS WAITING FOR SO LONG, NOW WOULD YOU?"

James was up in a flash chasing Sirius around the room, screaming a few choice words and threatening to hex him into the next galaxy. All the while, Sirius was laughing heartily and teasing him, "James loves Lily. Lalalalala! Potter and Evans, sitting in a tree. K I S S I N G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Prongsie with a baby carriage!"

By now James was livid. "Sirius Black! If you don't stop that right now, I swear, I will slit your throat and feed you to your deranged owl! I'm sure Nibbles won't mind pecking the life out of you!"

"Aww is that the best you can do, ickle Jamsie Wamsie! And here I thought you were upset!" Sirius said in a false, distressed voice.

By now, even Remus wasn't able to stop himself from chortling as he watched Sirius run for his life and then James trying to take Sirius' life. After a while, when James had calmed down and Sirius was able to breathe properly after chuckling so much, James calmly said to Sirius, "Sirius, if you ever do that again, they will be searching for your remnants on Pluto! And just for clarification, I don't even like, let alone love Evans!" he concluded icily.

They got dressed and managed to wake up Peter who had slept throughout the entire James and Sirius episode. Then they filed into the Common Room about to go to breakfast when James spotted something that made him snigger. "Hey guys, look at that couch over there and tell me what you see!" he said.

"Ahhhh! It's a giant redheaded monster! Help! Help! I need protection! Peter, get in front of me! Don't worry; if you die I'll make sure that those magazines under your bed are well taken care of!" Sirius exclaimed dramatically, winking at Peter who was now very pink from embarrassment. "Seriously, what is that thing Prongs? Did you turn Snape into something bizarre and not tell us, because you're going to be in so much trouble if you did that! How dare you not take us with you?" Sirius remarked, feigning anger.

Clutching his stomach from laughing so hard, he managed to say, "No Sirius! That's Evans!" then he fell behind the armchair unable to control his laughter.

"Ohhhh!" Sirius said, as if a light bulb had just been turned on inside his head. "I see, I see! So what's our dear little Ms. Evans doing down here?" he asked casually.

"Homework of course!" Remus declared.

"How do you know that?" Sirius and James asked in unison.

Remus sighed and explained, "Well weren't you two the ones who ruined her essay? Obviously she was up all night re-writing it!"

"Oh yea! Haha! The expression on her face yesterday was to die for!" Sirius guffawed.

"Hey guys, look what I found!" James said dangling a piece of parchment that looked like Lily's homework. He suddenly got a wicked smile on his face, "How tragic will it be if this homework, oh I don't know, accidentally got lost!"

"James, I have to admit it. You are the king of pranks!" Sirius said.

James bowed and oh so modestly exclaimed, "I know Sirius! Took you long enough to figure it out!"

"No c'mon guys. You've already ruined it once. It's too Slytherin-ish to do it again. Especially, since she stayed up all night finishing it." Remus reasoned.

"I suppose! Remus, you always ruin the fun!" Sirius pouted.

James looked thoughtful for a moment and said, "True. But, that doesn't mean we can't frighten and worry her out of her mind!"

"She's going to get tired of it and tell McGonnagol. Then you two will be in detentions for the rest of the year!" Remus cautioned.

"Yeah, but it'll be worth seeing the furious look on her face!" James declared, "Plus, I've always wanted to shout and wake Evans up"

He sauntered over to the couch where she was sleeping and gazed at her as she lay there. He brushed aside a strand of her hair and thought to himself, 'She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping. It's a shame I have to disturb her.'

While James doubted his intentions, Lily stirred and eventually woke up. The first thing she saw was a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring off into space. 'Wow, I wonder who that is! Such gorgeous eyes.' Then she looked up and saw a mess of black hair and to her horror realized whom she had said had gorgeous eyes. 'Ewwwww! I just complimented Potter's eyes. The pain, the agony, it burns! I've been scarred for life. I may never be able to look at a pair of eyes the same way again!' she thought to herself in distress. She suddenly got up and bumped into James' head in the process.

"Owwww!" James yelped in pain. "What's your head made of Evans? Rocks?"

"Hardy har har!" she replied sarcastically. "That's what you get for trying to disrupt my beauty rest!"

James coughed loudly and muttered something that sounded remarkably like, "Not that it was helping in the first place!"

She spun on her heels and made a dash for the Girls Dormitory. She was just at the top when she heard a teasing voice say, "Oh Evans...missing something?"

'Oh no! My essay!' she raced down the stairs at top speed, but then realized it was futile.

"Looking for this?" he asked innocently, dangling a piece of parchment. She winced as she saw her neat handwriting scribbled all over the parchment.

She took a deep breath and with great aplomb said, "Potter, give me back my homework."

"What's the magic word?" he tantalizingly asked. He smirked as she did her best not to blow up at him.

She swallowed her pride and reasoned that if she gave in she might just have her homework back, "PLEASE, can I have my homework back?" she requested through gritted teeth.

"No, I feel like keeping it. Thanks for asking though! Better luck next time." he responded nonchalantly. He watched as her face started to take on the color of her fiery, red hair. He saw Sirius doubled over with laughter in the corner and Remus rolling his eyes, no doubt at their immaturity.

"That's it! Potter if you don't give me back my homework this instant, I will make you the most miserable person to have ever graced his ugly presence on this planet!" she spat.

"Oh really? And exactly, how do you plan on doing that? Teaching me to be like you?" he questioned with almost childlike innocence.

Lily finally exploded. She lunged at him and knocked him over an armchair. She had thought that it would take him by surprise, but no such luck. 'Damn him and his fast Quidditch skills!' James had grabbed her hand and held on tight when he had seen her reach for the parchment in his other hand. So now, Lily was literally on top of James, inches away from his face, with her wrist in his grip. She gazed into his chocolate colored eyes and for the first time saw what every other girl saw when they were near James Potter. He had an intoxicating effect on everyone. Her other hand (the one James wasn't holding) was lying on his chest. She could tell from what she felt underneath that Quidditch had definitely done his body wonders. 'I wonder what he looks like shirtless.'

James meanwhile was quite enjoying this. He stared into her inquisitive, intense green eyes. Her long red tresses were spread out and he could just smell the heavenly scent of her shampoo. 'Roses, I think.' They were both lying there, locked eyes. 'I should kiss her' James thought looking at her rosy pink lips. He was just about to put his idea into action when a certain someone cleared his throat.

"Ok guys, I know you two have the hots for each other, but you are aware of the fact that there are rooms for that! No need to display such overwhelming affection in the Common Room. Some of us have to eat breakfast afterwards!" Sirius finished, sniggering.

Both James and Lily had gone a matching shade of red and Lily suddenly found the whole situation awkward. 'Not that I actually liked being on top of James Potter in the first place' she said trying hopelessly to convince herself. She immediately got off and looked anywhere but at him. He hastily handed her, her homework and dashed off after Sirius yelling something about Unforgivable Curses. As she collected herself, she stood appalled that a few minutes ago she had been wondering what James Potter looked like shirtless. 'Merlin, I can't believe I was thinking that! But those incredible eyes...' She shuddered and proceeded to reprimand herself, 'Lily Evans, what is wrong with you? You were thinking good things about the enemy! Have you gone weak and fallen for him? Nooo!' She would never let that happen. And just to prove it to herself she set about planning a devious prank (ignoring the hunger pains in her stomach) on the miserable prat Potter. She amused herself by thinking, 'Haha! Potter the Prat!'

James, who was now seated comfortably in the Great Hall for breakfast was extremely worried. 'I can't believe I wanted to kiss her! Gross! I wanted to kiss Evans?!?! But she looked so adorable with her silky locks and...' He shook his head and snapped out of his reverie and stared at the toast and orange juice in front of him. 'James Potter! What is wrong with you? This never happened! You never wanted to passionately snog Evans. You don't like her at all! She is your archrival.'

"Prongs, you alright? You seem a bit shaken up." Sirius noticed.

"I don't like her! What are you talking about? I never wanted to kiss her!" James cried frantically, looking quite paranoid.

Sirius with his smug grin said, "Uh-huh! Sure you didn't!" He left to go find Arabella. She, as of now officially owed him ten Sickles.

"Wait a minute" James said seriously, turning around and facing Remus, "What did Sirius ask me?"

Remus playfully replied, "He asked when the wedding was and where you and Lily are going for the honeymoon. He went to go pick out a clean suit, since he's your best man! Oh yeah, and I think he mentioned something about posting notices and the pictures he took this morning of you two looking so cozy together!"

James paled considerably and with wide eyes roared, "He did what? He took pictures? When? I didn't see him do anything!"

"Well of course you didn't notice anything! You were too engrossed in attempting to swallow Lily's mouth or kiss her as you would put it!" Remus chuckled.

"Remus, please tell me you're joking! If word gets out that I was found with Evans and there weren't any flying objects or foul words, my reputation is ruined! Six years of hard work down the drain!" he pleadingly exclaimed.

"Prongs, would I ever lie to you? Good luck!" he gave James a sympathetic pat on the back and left to go to Potions.

"My life is officially over!" James declared morosely.

A short distance away, in the Gryffindor Tower, Lily had slumped over on her chair and said that same thing when Sirius had gleefully showed Lily, as he liked to call it, "The Picture Perfect, Once in a Lifetime Moments!"
