When He Puts His Arms around Me

Description: Lily Evans and James Potter are the most popular people in their school. They never really talked or got to know each other. They get put as the school Heads and then they notice each other. Their friends notice certain things arousing between the two.

Chapter One

"So I spent the whole train ride hiding from him in the loo. Stop laughing. I don't see the humor in being driven into hiding by Satan's son." The red head glared at the giggling girl sitting across from her.

"It's just the though of lily Evans hiding in the loo. Gee, Lils, you go to all the trendiest places."

"Shut up Andy. What else was I supposed to do? I hate my father. He makes me hang around all of his friends' annoying sons. Why couldn't there be snobby girls instead of annoying boys. I can deal with snobs!"

"Andy Black grinned at her friend. "Maybe if you used it to your advantage, you could have all of these guys wrapped around your finger."

"ANDY! That's horrible. You know I'm not like you." The raven haired beauty put on a look of mock hurt.

"Touché, Evans. You know I'm just kidding. Anyway, you should give it a try. We're good looking and rich, why not?"

"No. I'm not wasting my years having meaningless flings. The person I date will have to deal with my family. He'll have to be up to the challenge." Lily finished her cauldron cake as Andy grabbed another.

"I'm not sure anyone is ready for that." The two girls burst into fits of laughter as they finished their snacks and got ready for their arrival at school.

"Hello Jess. My you are looking ravishing in that uniform," Sirius Black purred at 6th year Hufflepuff. The girl blushed and smiled shyly at him before joining a giggling group of friends in a carriage.

His best friend, James Potter, rolled his eyes. "Must you 'work your charm' on everything with two legs and breasts?"

A sandy named boy named Peter joined in. "You're wrong Prongs. They also have to be good looking." They started to laugh.

"It's the only skill he has, flirting with women. Why don't you just let him use it in peace?" A fourth boy had joined in on their razzing.

"You know, Remus has a point. It is the only skill you have Sirius." Sirius punched the boy playfully.

"Shut it Prongs. You're not funny. Look, now if you don't get in the carriage, we're going to get stuck with the Slytherins. Don't want that now do we? Get in, Wormtail, let's go!"

Once seated in the carriage, the boys discussed their summers.

"So basically, my summer was spent learning new skills to use in entertaining guests. I 'have to uphold the family honor', as my grandfather puts it." James shook his head. "My family is crazy. I live in a mad house. Any girl I talked to, my family, aunts and uncles included, would inquire her. They would sit her down and ask all about her. Then they would get a background check. They did this even if I didn't have an interest in them. How crazy is that?"

"Pretty damn crazy, Prongs. I was there, I should know. When are they going to get over this and let you have a girlfriend?" Sirius had witnessed the intensity of the Potters as he ran away from home and lived with James.

"Oh, I can have girlfriends. I just want to wait until I can find one who can deal with my parents. You've also seen how crazy girls act around me, All they see if the looks and the riches.

Remus smiled. "Yes, they all love that untamable look you possess. What, with you unruly hair, gorgeous hazel eyes, and Quidditch toned body, who could resist?" James looked at his friend and edged away slowly.

"Are you coming onto me Moony?" Remus rolled his eyes.

"You know, I did just hear a girl say something about 'taming that fine piece of Potter' when we passed one of the compartments."

"You're so funny, Wormtail." Sirius grinned at his friend.

"But Jamie-kins-"

"Sirius, shut up. You know I hate it when you use my mother's nicknames for me. End of discussion. I'll find a girlfriend when I find the right one. Now, how about Ireland vs. the Cannons yesterday?"

"Zambini, Zach." A little boy walked terrified to the stool containing the talking hat. The hat considered him for a moment before shouting "Slytherin".

"That's okay," Sirius shouted to his friends over the cheering of the Slytherins. "He was a little on the puny side anyway. Wouldn't have lasted a minute in our house. Now, where's the food!" Sirius stared expectantly at his plate. His friends laughed at him.

Professor Dumbledore stood looking at his students. "Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. Welcome first years! Just a reminder, the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. Unless you want to spend detention with the Marauders, then I suggest you don't go in there. Yes, you boys are wonderful, now take your seats. Also, your new Head Boy and Girl are none other than James Potter and Lily Evans of Gryffindor. Without further ado, your feast." He clapped his hands and the feast appeared.

After the feast, the prefects walked the first years to their houses and gave passwords to members of their house. Lily and James supervised all of this before heading back with their friends.

"So Lily, the infamous James Potter is Head Boy with you. What naughty things will you two do in you Head rooms?" Andy asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"Shut up Andy. Is that all you think about?" Lily and Andy were walking to the Gryffindor common room.

"No, I think about Quidditch, boys, school, boys, clothes, boys, annoying my best mate, which is you, and boys. See, I think about many different topics."

"Oh yes, you think about many different topics." The sarcasm was evident in Lily's voice.

"Oh, and I also think about ways to survive our fan club." Lily and Andy were very popular. They were the most popular girls in school. They had boys following them everywhere they went, trying to date them. Girls followed them trying to get the glory and the attention they got from the guys. It was all rather pathetic.

"Pumpkin Pasty," the portrait swung open. "Yes, well, that good and all, but I really am tired of hearing it. All you talk about is boys and the fabulous things you could do with them." Lily and Andy turned around at the sound of another voice.

"WHAT?! Andy, my cousin, doing things with...boys. Naughty things? No, I must be mistaken," Sirius Black stood up and walked over to the two girls.

"Nice going, bigmouth," Andy mumbled to the redhead. "Sirius, my favorite cousin, how are you? Long time no see since you ran away. I've had to hear all about it all summer. Also, now that you've gone, the attention has turned on me being the blood traitor. Thank you ever so much." Sirius glared at her playfully.

"Yeah, well, if was carrot top here is saying is true," Lily made an indignant noise, "then you right well deserve it. I won't have my cousin going around being the tramp of the school." Sirius and Andy always had this argument. It was notoriously known that every Black that stepped into Hogwarts was a bit of a slut, male or female.

"Oh, that's rich, coming from Hogwarts own man whore." Sirius looked incredulously at her. Lily intervened.

"Well you two, it takes a whore to know a whore. Always remember that." Lily walked over to the cackling group of boys Sirius was friends with and sat next to Remus. James was in an armchair and Peter fell onto the floor laughing.

"LILY!"

"EVANS!"

"Don't deny it. You've been with almost every person from the opposite sex except the select few from this house and you know it." The boys laughed harder.

The cousins sat down moodily on the opposite couch. "Yes, well, shut up Lily," Andy growled. She then looked at Sirius and they both started laughing.

Lily was the only one not laughing hysterically. Grinning at her best friend and the boys, she muttered, "Lunacy." Remus looked at her and tried to stop.

"Lunacy, Evans? You call us lunatics? We saw your boyfriend from last year, Gilderoy Lockhart. You have some nerve calling us lunatics."

"Go copulate yourself, Remus." She grinned at him. "Besides, that was just an attempt to keep the rest of Hogwarts away. I dumped him this summer."

"Really, Evans," Sirius said sobering. "If you haven't a boyfriend, then what crazy adventures will you and Jamsie here get into in the Head dorms?" James sobered up immediately. His friends had been teasing him in private about this, but in front of Lily was a completely different thing. They weren't even good friends and they didn't like each other like that.

"Do you and your cousin think on that wave length only? You two really need to come up with better things or move onto a different topic. I've heard that line way too much this evening. I'm going to bed. Good night guys." Lily stood up and walked out of the common room.

"Guys, it's midnight. I'm going to tuck in too. Night guys, Andy." James also headed towards his private chambers on the third floor.

(scene change)

"Lily?" She stuck her head into James's room. She had a toothbrush in her mouth.

"What?" Well, that was what she would've said, if the toothbrush hadn't made it sound like mumbles.

"I'm sorry for the teasing my friends gave you back there. They can be real gits sometimes." Lily laughed and went to go rinse her mouth.

"Yeah, Andy was doing that to me ever since she found out I was Head Girl. I'm used to it. Well, I'm going to go to bed. Good night, James."

"Night, Lily."
