Disclaimer: I don't own anything here you recognize. I only own the weird ideas that pop into my head and make me write things like this.

A/n: I know I haven't updated my other story for a while, but I have a major writer's block for that one... It's really not funny!!! Anyways, I know this doesn't follow the books, but I started writing it long before book five came out and so I'm keeping it this way. Please tell me what you think :)

James' thoughts are between - -

Chapter 1

"There's something about your smile

There's something about the way you make me feel"

It was a beautiful day at Hogwarts. Anyone looking out a classroom-window could see the sun being reflected in the lake. Many were staring outside and thinking of a nice cold glass of Butterbeer.

But a certain boy wasn't. James Potter was thinking about something completely different. Well, not completely... He was also thinking about something that had to do with the sun, but more in the way of how it reflected on the hair of one particular redheaded girl.

He was just wondering how the light was able to make her hair look gold when his thoughts were rudely interrupted by a hand waving in front of his face. This hand belonged to his best friend and partner in crime: Sirius Black.

'Hello! Earth to Jimmy-boy! Are you with us?' he asked.

Annoyed, James looked to his left to see a grinning blackhaired boy with equally black eyes. He sighed. 'I have said this a million times, but you always seem to forget it: my name is James! Not Jimmy-boy, not Jamesie and certainly not Jamesie-poo!!!'

'Okay Jimmy-boy, and you weren't looking at Lily Evans while I was telling you about the brilliant plan I've come up with?' Sirius smirked evilly.

James blushed scarlet and hissed: 'Shut up! She'll hear you!' -not as if she even knows I exist, but still...-

'Awwwww, Jamesie-poo's in looooove! How sweet! My little boy is growing up,' he pretended to wipe a tear away.

'I am not in love with her! Besides, she already has a boyfriend. I think he's in Ravenclaw... What's his name again?'

'Andy Forrest and they broke up three days ago.'

-They broke up?! YAY! What am I thinking? I don't like her! No, I DON'T like her-

'How do you always know things like that?' James asked.

'Well, you see, Brooke's her friend and me and Brooke went for a little walk last night...' Sirius said, grinning.

-Of course... I should have known... For some reason the entire female population here is after him-

'I thought you were going out with Samantha Jenkins.'

'I was, but I didn't like her anymore, so I broke up with her. That's only fair.'

'Yeah, but when-' James began.

'Mr Potter and Mr Black! Detention!' the voice of professor Xie boomed through their conversation. The small Transfiguration teacher looked furious at his two best students.

Once he had returned to explaining how to turn a watermelon into a nippo (a/n: don't ask...), James grinned at Sirius.

'Whoops. Guess that's number 8 this year and we've only been here two weeks.'

'You'd better watch out or they'll take your Head Boy-badge away.'

'They won't,' James said confidently.

Professor Xie was also Head of Gryffindor and he told them right before the bell rang: 'You'll be allowed to go to Hogsmeade this weekend if your parents have signed the forms.'

James smiled. He didn't need permission to go to Hogsmeade. He, Remus Lupin, Sirius and Peter Pettigrew had made a map and knew all of the secret passages there were. Including ones that would lead them to Hogsmeade.

'Why don't you ask her for the trip to Hogsmeade?' Sirius asked while they were walking to the Common Room.

'What? Who?' James was completely lost.

'Lily of course! Ask her to go with you this weekend.'

'No! I can't do that! I mean, look at her, she's popular and pretty... -I did NOT just say that!- And I'm... me...'

'C'mon James! Have a little faith in yourself! Give me one good reason why she wouldn't go out with you.'

'Okay, easy enough: she can have any boy she wants. She doesn't even know who I am!'

'Sure she does. Remember that time she complimented you on the prank we pulled on Malfoy?'

'Yes, and she called me Jack...'

'Really? I thought I heard-'

'Ouch!' James had bumped into someone.

And this person had fallen onto the stone floor.

-Oh no!-

He looked into the green eyes that belonged to the exact same person they had been talking about.

'I-uhm-I'm...'
