Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
A/N My story is actually based on a Chinese series called "Romance in the Rain" Although the plot is similar, the story is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Okay on with the story....................................................................................................................
YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME
Everyone noticed that James was staring at Lily. Rachel desperately tried to think of something she could say.
"So this is James Potter, right?" James was still fantasizing about something...
"Yea that's James, he has a problem of staring at people when he first meets them." Sirius replied uncertainly. At the same time he pinched James on his shoulder hoping he will wake up from his 'dream'. To his relief, James looked up.
"Well this is Lily Evans," said Rachel trying to act like nothing has really happened.
"Hi," Lily replied shyly
"Hi," James said "hope you like it here."
"Thanks" Rachel responded, while Lily just smiled.
"It's getting pretty late now, we really should be going to bed, so I guess we'll see you tomorrow" Lily said
Rachel and Lily both made their way to the dormitory, and closed the door.

BOY'S DORM
"What is the matter with you?! Staring at her like that! You looked like a stupid loser who's never seen a girl before!""I was only thinking! Geez" James replied
"Wow, you were actually thinking? Thinking about what?"
"You know, I have Quiddich and all that-"
"Yea, sure you were, more like thinking about Lily Evans" "No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No!"
"I really don't see what is the matter with you! Hey why don't we play a game?!" Sirius suggested.
"Play one of your games, don't tell me its "Stay up all night without moving game"
"No no no, it's a new game that I just made up. Its called: 'Try to figure out who the person Jamsesie likes by asking him game'.
"Oh-no"
"James Potter, Please answer the following question in order to win a secret prize. Which of the following do you think Jamesie loves. Is it a) the beautiful and clever Rachel or do you think it is b) The beautiful yet unique Lily?"
"What's the secret prize going to be? I'd rather sleep" said James pulling his blanket over his head.

GIRLS DORM
"Do you think he likes me at all? Tell me the truth!" Rachel asked impatiently."Perhaps, why don't you ask him? Well, do you like him?"
"Well, I mean, he is one of the most popular guys at school, and he's handsome and good-looking, but to tell you the truth, he really isn't the right type for me" Rachel lied.
"Well then, if your not interested in him, why do you care so much if he likes you or not?" Lily replied.
"I guess your right. Well goodnight then."
"Goodnight"
Rachel thought to herself: But the truth is that I do care about what he fells for me. I do like him, I do want him, but I still don't have any idea whether or not he likes me. Or does he like Lily instead. I know lily still hates me because of my mother, and father, but its not exactly my fault or anything... I can't even talk with her. I need friends who I could actually talk with, friends who I could share secrets with...I want to be with someone who doesn't hate me...I need a true friend, a best friend. And before she knew it she was asleep..................................................................................................................
THE NEXT DAY
The first lesson was Potions with Professor McGonagall. To James' and Sirius' delight they were the same class as Rachel and Lily. But there are always clouds that cast dark shadows over the happy beginnings...
"So Rachel is it? How about a little kiss, and then I might consider going out with you" Malfoy sniggered
"Yuk! Get real! I'd rather die, than go out with you!" Rachel shot back at her
Malfoy's face went bright red. "You think I really meant it didn't you? Like I would go out with you, I wouldn't even be bothered to consider it! If you had tried to kiss me, I would've backed away! You filthy mud-blood"
Both Lily and Rachel were shocked; the only think they could not stand is people who call them mudbloods.
"Leave her alone Malfoy!" James shouted
"Your no better yourself Potter! Think you're so good huh? Well we'll see about that!" Malfoy took out his wand "Miranaiosa"
"Reprehendit"
Sparks of green light shot out from both wands causing the whole cupboard full of potions to collapse on the floor, making a huge mess.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" professor McGonagall screamed as she walked into the classroom. She was furious. "Lucius Malfoy and James Potter! D.. d....DETENTION FOR BOTH OF YOU!!!! AND 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR AND SLYTHERIN!!!
.................................................................................................................
LATER THAT DAY
"I'm really sorry about what happened, I...I"
"No it's not your fault. He shouldn't have called you that."
"Really it was my fault. I should've stopped you, I shouldn't have let you face Malfoy."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, its not your fault, really, I know Professor McGonagall she won't punish us, the most she would do is take points off. All I'll have to do probably is clean up that mess in the potions room." James took hold of Rachel's hand. "I should go now. Bye." He let go of her hand, took his wand, and left the Gryffindor common room.
"Bye" Rachel sighed to herself.
If only that moment could last just a bit longer, if only... She could not describe how happy she felt as he held her hands in his. James Potter, I know now that you like me. I lied before I know. But now, I am sure that you are really the one for me...
