Chapter 1

Same Old, Same Old

Lily Evans was a very pretty girl with beautiful red hair and almond shaped green eyes. She, along with her two best friends, Mika Morris and Kimberly Paul were the most wanted girls in Hogwarts. Lily was startled out of her daydream (of a Potter-free life) when Mika and Kim came running into her compartment.

Mika Morris was an attractive girl with dark brown hair that went just passed her shoulders. Her eyes were a stormy gray and only had a slight touch of make-up around them. Her skin was lightly tanned and she had a slender body. A lot of guys liked Mika but she didn't seem to notice them. Kimberly Paul on the other hand, had bright blonde hair that cascaded down her back falling on her darkly tanned skin. She had baby blue eyes that were heavily outlined in mascara. She also had all the guys looking at her but unlike Mika, she noticed them. But she never played with their hearts and only went out on dates if she really liked the guy.

They stood breathless for a few seconds before filling a bewildered Lily in on what they had just "overheard".

"Lily, this is serious! I was casually walking by the Marauders compartment when-"Kim was broken off by Mika who snorted and said, "You weren't "casually walking by Kim! You were so spying on them!"

"Oh just shut up Mika!" Kim replied good-naturally. "So anyway, I heard James and Sirius trying to figure out ways to get you, Lily, to go out with James! James said he would die if he couldn't."

If Kim had been expecting Lily to jump up and down in excitement she was sadly disappointed. Lily just rolled her eyes and said, "Come on Kim! You don't actually believe him do you? I mean he has been asking me out every day since third year. He only wants me because he can't get me."

"You know Kim she has got a point. I mean, why do girls flock to James anyway?" Mika sighed.

"Well that's just because your heart has already been taken by another member of the Marauders!" Kim yelled. "Let's say another quieter member?"

To Kim's satisfaction Mika glowed as red as Lily's hair but didn't deny anything.

"So Lily what are you going to do about James?

"Yes Lily what shall you do about Jamsie here? I mean him being Head Boy and all I don't think you can do very much." A voice replied from behind Lily.

Lily shrieked and yelled at Sirius for scaring her. Behind Sirius stood the rest of the Marauders- James, Remus and Peter. Sirius and James were very popular and just about every girl at Hogwarts had a crush on one of the two. Remus was more of the quiet one but he was considered very handsome, right after Sirius and James. Peter though, looked like a rat and no one knew why the Marauders let him hang out with them. He was not very well liked.

But Sirius wasn't listening to Lily anymore for he had just spotted Kim and was already walking over and sliding an arm around her shoulders.

Kim shrugged him off but Sirius just put his arm right back around her shoulders and this time she left it there. Everyone knew that Kim liked Sirius but she didn't like to show it.

Remus walked over to Mika and asked her how her summer had been. Mika blushed red and managed to reply "good".

Lily glared and turned around to face James. "You're Head Boy? This is so not fair. I'm Head Girl!"

"Lily! My flower, my love, my next-next-door-room-mate! How has your summer been?" James replied smoothly rubbing in the fact that they would be sharing a bathroom and a common room, WITH adjoining doors.

"Oh stop it Potter. I won't fall for your silly nicknames." Lily tried not to show that she was bothered by the fact that she would be very close to Potter for the next year.

"Well, it was worth a try." James replied with a shrug.

"Why don't you go and flirt with some girl who cares Potter."

Mica and Remus both stopped talking and looked over at James. They both saw the shadow of hurt on James' face before he regained his cockiness. They looked over to each other and said "Uh oh."
