Chapter 1 ~ Obsession
"He who angers you, conquers you."
~ Elizabeth Kenny
"Lily! Lily! Hellooooooo! Mollie to Lily! WAKE UP!" Mollie Sanders yelled at her best friend Lily Evans in the hall. Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Hey Lily," she said in fake excitement, "I think Amos is heading over here!"
"What? How do I look?" Lily asked while looking around frantically.
"Calm down, he ain't commin' over anyway! I just needed a way to get you outta Diggory Dreamland and what better than Amos himself?" Mollie said amusedly.
"Mo-ol!" Lily whined.
"Li-il!" she whined back. "All you do is think about him! Your grades are dropping because of it! Get over him and worry about more important issues!"
"But he is important!" Lily insisted. "He's dreamy and hot and sexy and-"
"AND taken!" Mol interrupted. "He's going out with that Christi bitch, remember? Besides, he's never even talked to you!" Mollie said logically.
"But we're meant to be together," Lily stated as they rounded the corner and entered their Arithmancy classroom. Lily went to sit down in the back. She took out a notebook and flipped through 50 pages with 'I Love Amos" "Amos is Hot" and other things like that. When she finally got to a blank page, she began to write "Amos + Lily" and drew hearts around them.
By now you can probably tell that 16 year old Lily is obsessed with 17 year old Amos Diggory of Hufflepuff. She has been for three years and she'd do anything to get with him, well almost anything. She'd never, ever associate with the idiotic Marauders, especially their Ring Leader, James Potter.
Her first year at Hogwarts, Lily was naive, very naive. James and his little group had grown up in the wizarding world, were as Lily; she was new to all of this. Well on the train ride, Lily had a headache. James offered her a vile of "headache relief potion" to rid her of it. She took it willingly, not knowing his plan. When she drank it, a series of pops emitted and she was in sudden pain.
Her face ached to no end. She went to the bathroom to look in the mirror to see what was wrong. When she did, she regretted ever accepting help from that James. All over her face were about 20 boils! She screamed. That's when she met Mollie. Mollie had heard her shriek and came running into the room. She quickly cast the reversal spell to it and asked Lily what had happened. When Lily explained, Mollie helped her devise a plan to get back at the little cretin. That's how Lily and James are sworn enemies and her and Mollie are best friends.

"Look at her, isn't she a doll?" James asked his best friend Sirius.
"Oh great! Thinking about Astounding Arabella again!" Sirius replied.
"She gorgeous! Why won't she ever notice me?" James continued, without recognizing what Sirius had said.
"Because James, you're a goof-off, you're too chicken to talk to her, and she's got a boyfriend, remember? Nick?" Sirius said exhaustedly. He had to tell James this everyday.
"I need to come up with a plan to get her!" he said determined.
"James, you're pathetic! At least I'm not chicken and go after the girls!" Sirius said frustrated. "Come on, we're gonna be late for Arithmancy class!"
"Don't we have that with Ravenclaw?" James asked excited.
"Yes, but Arabella's in 7th year, not 6th!" Sirius said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Damn! Oh well let's go," James replied as he stood up from his seat in the Great Hall and began to walk to his class. Sirius got up and followed him. They were walking through the halls silently when they began to hear two voices. They both began to creep slowly, so as to eavesdrop, using their marauders instincts.
"All you do is think about him! Your grades are dropping because of it! Get over him and worry about more important issues!" said the first voice.
"But he is important!" stated a second. "He's dreamy and hot and sexy and-"
"AND taken!" said the first voice. "He's going out with that Christi bitch, remember? Besides, he's never even talked to you!"
"But we're meant to be together," was they last thing that they heard.
Interesting, thought James, She's got the same problem as me! But who's going out with Christi? Oh yeah! Diggory, he thought disgusted. He quickly rounded the corner to find out who it was and who he saw made him even more disgusted. LILY EVANS! Oh great, forget my idea then! But maybe… just maybe… if she's desperate enough, it would work! He thought and he got the kind of grin he got when he had a plan.
"I know that smile," Sirius said when he saw his friend; "You've got some sorta Idea."
"Yup! I know how to get Arabella!" James exclaimed as he took a seat next to his sworn enemy.
