Thanks bunches for coming and checking out my fic! I appreciate it so much! This is- at least- my fifteenth LJ story, and I hope this one goes just as well as some of my others.

This story is about LJ in the 6th/7th year at Hogwarts. Lily and James are the main characters and there aren't really a lot of other characters. This is a short fluffy story, probably going to be ten chapters or less. I hope you enjoy it, because I certainly enjoyed writing it!!

Thanks so much for all the people who help me with my fics *cough* Bree *cough*. Lol, if it wasn't for you, half my stories wouldn't even be written or thought of! Thanks SO much, you're the bestest pal ever! We need to get to that coffee shop one day and write! Lmao, you're my backbone to all my fics! Thanks!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own anything from this story, except the idea. Neither the title, nor the characters belong to me. The characters belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling, and if it wasn't for her great mind.....none of us would be on this site.

One more note, lyrics really inspire me to write stories, even if its just a short scene. So, at the beginning of each chapter there is a piece of lyrics that either helped me write the chapter, or they just fit! Lol.

I'll stop with my talking now, as you are all probably bored...without further ado—my latest creation!

Ten Things I Hate About You!

Ten things Lily hates about James, yet ten things she loves about him.

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

Number One: I Hate His Ego

I don't fancy you too much, child

I don't fancy you too much

I don't fancy you too much, child

I don't fancy you too much

You think you're cute, you think you're fine

You're always trying to steal my shine

Get off of me, don't mess with me

You know who you are

-Destiny's Child, Fancy

"James Potter!" Sixteen-year-old Lily Evans stormed down the girls' staircase.

Her fiery red curls bounced as she hit every step. Her usual calm emerald green eyes were full of hatred and anger.

"James Potter!" she reached the bottom of the boys staircase and yelled again, "James Herald Potter if you don't get your slimy arse down here in three seconds I'm going to personally murder you then turn your dead body into a hippogriff!"

A second or so past and Lily heard no response, "One...two...thr-"

"Yes Lily-Love?" Sixteen-year-old James Potter came bounding down the stairs and nearly ran over Lily.

James Potter, with his unruly jet-black hair and hazel eyes, towered over Lily's small figure. Although, Lily stood confidently as if she was the one who was nearly a foot taller and better built.

"James Potter! How could you!?" Lily screamed.

"Why did I do, Lily Evans?" James asked ever so sweetly.

"James Potter you know exactly what you did."

"Um, no Lily Evans, I don't recall."

"James Potter, don't act stupid!"

"Can you stop with the full name thing? It's creeping me out." James asked.

"It better!" Lily's hands were now curled up in tight fists.

"Oiy Evans." James put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her from an arms distance, "Just calm down and tell me what you're talking about."

Lily wiggled away from his grasp, "You know I've been working on that Transfiguration essay for three months! How dare you bewitch it so the letters are all moved around!?"

She pulled a rolled up piece of parchment from her pocket and shoved it in James' face.

"See!?"

"Oh, this is what I did!" James looked at the paper then muttered to himself, "Damn you Padfoot...I didn't tell you to grab this essay."

"You better change it back or I'll snap your broom in two!" Lily threatened.

James' head shot up alarmed. Not his broom...not his new very expensive broom that he had to work all summer for. Anything but the broom...well not anything.

If this was anyone else threatening his broom he would merely shrug if off and hex the person. But this was Lily Evans. THE Lily Evans who all the younger years are afraid of, the Lily Evans that EVERYBODY knows not to get mad, and James had gotten her farther than mad and farther than pissed...she was absolutely downright livid. And when Lily Evans was livid everyone knows that when she says it she means it. And if she intends on breaking James' broomstick, she most definitely would.

"Well?" she asked irritated, "Change it."

"Um," James handed her the essay back, "I can't."

"WHAT!?" she screamed so loud that even the dead could have heard her, 'And why the bloody hell not!?"

"The charm won't wear off for another two days."

"TWO DAYS!?" James' figure seemed as if it was shrinking in front of the petite redhead's body, "I have to turn this in tomorrow morning!"

"I'm sorry." He stated obviously finding his shoes more interesting than Lily's face, "You can have mine."

"I don't want yours." Lily spat, "Now I have to bloody rewrite three months worth of research in a few hours."

"I'll rewrite it." He suggested.

"No way! You'll probably damage it more! Not to mention it's bloody hard to read it now that the letters are all messed up."

"Lily, I really didn't mean to do it to this paper." He pleaded.

"And you were planning to do it on another one of my papers!? Bloody hell, Potter how rude can you get!? I took three months to write the paper, not to mention I struggle in Transfiguration. You can't just jinx someone's paper just because you were bored."

"I would've helped you."

Lily rolled her eyes, "I don't need Mr. Ego's help."

"I don't have an ego!" James said sternly.

"Please, Potter! You have the biggest ego I've ever seen. You could hold 'The Worlds Biggest Ego' record. You ego's so big I'm surprised you can fit through the door, let alone walk. You have ego's inside of ego's, your ego is so big!"

"C'mon Lil," James said running his hand through his hair, "You don't mean that."

"I sure as hell do." She replied stubbornly, "I hate you! You're so conceited and irresponsible!"

Lily started to walk back to her dorm to rewrite her essay but James grabbed her hand.

"Lil-" he didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry. Please don't be mad...I really like you."

"Leave me alone Potter because I would never like such a conceited, rude, annoying, egotistical prat."

"Lil-"

"Reality check James." Lily replied her voice a bit lower, but still as stern, "The world is not going to fall to your feet like you wish. And I don't plan on bowing down to you anytime soon. So get your act together before you wish you were never born."

With that Lily rushed up the girl's staircase to attempt to finish her essay. James stood in the empty common room and hung his head in shame.

I have to change, he thought to himself, before it's too late.
