Wish Upon A Star

Chapter One

A bloodcurdling scream filled the early morning atmosphere in the Gryffindor common room. A few owls perched on the windows startled suddenly, and flew away. Moans and groans could be heard from every dorm, as students that usually still slept in were awoken from their dreams. And amidst it all, in a comfy chair in front of the fire, sat a certain boy with messy black hair, brown eyes and glasses. He was lanky and tall and had a smile that made all the girls in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry swoon. The boy was none other than James Potter.

"Potter, you are SO DEAD!" The angry voice of Lily Evans carried down the stairway, waking even more people. James just smiled. A few seconds later Lily appeared at the bottom of the stairs, in her pajamas and her normally vibrant red hair a shocking blue. Her eyes flashed dangerously.

"What," she yelled, "Have you done to my hair?" She stood panting, her fists clenched at her sides, glaring at him. James had to resist the urge to kiss her. He loved her, even when she was angry at him. Especially when she was angry at him.

"Lily, Lily," James replied complacently, "The colour really suits you, you know?" Lily's eyes widened in shock, at his complete lack of regret. Then again, what else could she expect from James Potter? She shook her head, spluttering.

"Turn it back right now!" Lily stamped her foot slightly, and this just made James smile wider. Lily was the top student in 7th year and yet she still was stubborn enough to stamp her foot. "I'm not joking, Potter……." She said warningly.

"Aw, you know I love you, Lily."

"TURN IT BACK!" Lily shook in rage. A small crowd had gathered to watch the latest epic battle between Lily and James. James had noticed the crowd as well, and gave them a disapproving look at the same time Lily shot them a seething glare. Combining the two looks, the students quickly found reasons to leave the common room. James turned back to Lily.

"I will turn it back," he said slowly, "But only if you go out with me. If not, it'll wear out after a day or so."

The look Lily gave him was enough.

The answer was no.

SSSSS

"Give it up Prongs, she's never going to go out with you. Besides, she has freckles." James turned to his supposed best friend Sirius Black. Sirius had gelled his jet black hair and had penetrating blue eyes. He had a roughish smile and was the serial womanizer of the school. Serial being the operative word.

"She will go out with me," James said confidently, "She just doesn't know something yet." Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Know what yet, Prongs?"

"That she loves me," James said simply. Sirius laughed uproariously, and stared over James' head Remus and Peter, who were chocking on bacon and coughing into their cereal respectively. Remus had sandy hair that flopped into his tawny coloured eyes, and was slightly built. Peter on the other hand was quite stocky, and had rich brown hair with eyes to match. James glared at his two other friends before turning to Sirius and giving him a withering glare.

"What's so funny?" he asked coldly. Sirius just laughed even more.

"Well, no offence James," Remus started comfortingly, "But Lily doesn't really seem to love you as such, or even like you for that matter. Really, she spends all her time angry at you."

"There's only a thin line between love and hate," James said defensively. "Besides, I didn't say that she liked me now. I said that she would soon!"

"The important thing," Sirius said sarcastically, "Is that you believe that." James punched him lightly on the shoulder before Sirius went on.

"Besides mate, she still has freckles."

"They really are more of a light scattering," James said matter-of-factly, "And I like freckles!" Remus patted him consolingly on the shoulder.

"She will like me," James said determinedly.

"Whatever you say Prongs," Sirius said nonchalantly, "Whatever you say."

SSSSS

"Can you believe he did this!" Lily asked her friends incredulously, "I mean, can he get over himself already? First he dies my hair, and then expects me to gout with him!"

"He does it for attention," Sally said waving her hand dismissivly, "And now onto more important things, like the upcoming ball." Lily almost smiled at her friends complete dismissal of what she took to be an outrage, and the rest of her friends ignored the comment altogether. Sally was into boys and balls and was completely different from the rest of their friendship group. Despite this though, they still all got along, and Sally was someone you could turn to in times of need. She had silky blonde hair and large pale azure eyes like the sky. Pretty much, she was drop dead gorgeous, ridiculously so. She was the female version of Sirius Black, a femme fatal, and had dated almost every boy in the year, as well as a couple below. And there was a ball coming up in just one week, but Lily somehow just couldn't muster the energy to be excited… Especially since it looked like her hair would be clashing awfully with her robes.

"But Sally is right Lily," another of Lily's friends, Raven, said, "He just does it for attention!" Raven had dark skin and shining black hair, and deep brown eyes with lustrous eyelashes. She was loud and excitable, always the first to join in on the fun, however many school rules it may break. Her twin, Robyn, while identical in looks, couldn't have had a more different personality. She was quiet and shy, and gave off the impression of being delicate and breakable. But when it came to personal values and opinions, Robyn was stronger than them all.

The last of Lily's friends was Ashley. She was boisterous and a chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. She had wavy shoulder-length brown hair and freckles all over her face.

"They're all wrong Lily," she said with a laugh in her voice, "He does it because he likes you!" She giggled hysterically, much to the others amusement and Lily's disapproval.

"Anyway," Ashley continued, "We all know you two are going to get married. You can totally tell you dig each other."

"Dig? James Potter? There is no way Ashley, in the world, that I would ever go out with James Potter, or even remotely like him." Lily glared at her friend as if to emphasize the point.

"Come on, Lily," Robyn put in, "All that time together sorting out plans as Head Boy and Head Girl and you've never, not once, thought about what it would be like to go out with him? He asks you out all the time!"

"I've thought about it," Lily said vehemently, "And it would be awful." Sally rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say Lily, whatever you say."
