Lily Meets James Chapter 6

Going Back to Hogwarts

"Ah, the Hogwarts express!" lily yelled "The rest of this year is going to be great, I am on a mission to get us both boyfriends Sammy It is going to be fun"

"I'm sure James wouldn't mind being your boyfriend" Sammy said with a smile.

"Yeah as if I would ever go out with him he is so......James" lily said and then started to laugh when she realized that it had made no sense what so ever.

Lily hadn't talked to James since the last letter she had sent saying not to contact her, and she was happy. It would have been impossible to get a boyfriend if everyone knew James Potter liked her, because no one dared to cross the marauders.

"Lily" someone yelled behind her.

Lily spun around so she was face to face with none other the Amanda Reece, one of her other best friends, behind Amanda, Lily could see Erica Oswald another one of Lily's best friends.

"Oh my god" Lily screamed as she ran up to them and gave them each a huge hug. "How are you guys?"

"Good" they replied at the same time. But neither of them had a chance to say any thing else because just then someone had walked over.

"Lily" came an all to familiar voice. It was James Potter.

"What do you want Potter?" Lily responded in an icy tone that made her friends look at her questionably.

"I was wondering if I could speak to you" he looked around "in privet"

"Um let me think......NO" lily said as she turned away.

"LILY" Sammy yelled at her "that was harsh, you could at least try and be nice"

"Why should I" is all lily said and every one got the point that this conversation was over.

Lily had a way to tell people when she didn't want to talk any more and if you ignored it......well lets just say no one ever ignored it.

"Let's get a seat on the train" Amanda said.
Lily absent mindedly followed her friends, while she was thinking. Why had she been so mean? She was never mean; James just seemed to bring out the evil streak in her. Well, he got what he deserved was all she thought. Her thoughts were interrupted when someone ran into her.

"Oh sorry" Lily said.

"no it was my fault" the person answered.

Lily looked up and was immediately speechless. The person she had run into just happened to be one of the best looking guys she had ever seen. He had light brown wavy hair that fell over his face with perfect elegance. His eyes were a chocolate brown that seem to look thru her and not at her.

When she realized she had been staring she started to blush.

"Hi I'm Lily Evans" she extended her hand and he took it.

"Jacob Sterling" he replied

"Well I have got to go my friends are waiting for me" lily said.

"Ok see you around school I guess" Jacob said looking a little disappointed.

"Wait, what house are you in?" Lily asked.

"Gryffindor" 7th year" he said.

"Ok I'm a Gryffindor 6th year I guess I will see you rather soon" she said with a smile as she walked away. She could tell this was going to be a very good year. Very good indeed!
