Love is a Battlefield

Chapter One

I Changed My Name

I couldn't sleep last night

My ears were ringing in my head

Best friends with the boogey man

I may be better off here dead

Running on empty once again

Too tired for tears I dread

Sing deep to those magic dreams

While I blast off in my bed

And you know I played it all in here
Where everyone hides their darkest shades of fears
And I threw my whole night down the drain
You know cause everyone says that I'm not the same
Since I changed my name

James' POV

I sat on my single bed in my rather small room, staring at the ceiling. I am definitely not poor, but I always liked being in cozy spots, much like an owl in a tree hole, (even though everyone, save for muggles that is, knows that 'wild' owls live in owleries and, there really is no such thing as a 'wild' owl). I was laying there motionless, however my thoughts were running around like mad men. I was thinking about my parents, who had mercilessly died at the hands of Voldemort. Thinking about this only made me think about my career, and the yearning to be an auror. How I would win back my parents honor by killing the unkillable, my parents' and sister's name will live on. My parents were sadly killed the summer before now, and my sister was about two months ago. I remember the day perfectly.

/Flashback/

I had promised to take Sophi to the sweets shop. She was so excited to be spending some time with me, it rarely happened. However, surprisingly, (note the sarcasm), Sirius called through the fire, with one of his "big emergencies," which was usually something like he had run out of biting whoopee cushions and he had run out of money to buy some more... I was always more than happy to help in situations like these. I left without a care in the world, leaving Sophi to occupy herself for the day instead. Little did I know she wasn't going to be at home while doing it. She probably left for the sweetshop just after I left, however she would never arrive there. Walking up the road (she didn't like floo powder and was too young to apparate), she must have been attacked by a deatheater who knew she was coming.

I was walking home with Sirius, firewhiskey in hand, it was about six o'clock and we were pissed drunk. We staggered up to the front gate and saw a body lying on the front porch. It was my twelve year old sister, Sophi, and she was dead.

"WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK!" I screamed, enraged by what I was looking at. I seemed to be more mad at the time than sad, because I had a feeling something bad would happen, and I still carelessly went out with Padfoot.

"Prongs I'm soo sorry. She must have been attacked by a deatheater. This is terrible, I know how fond you were of her, we both were (after all Sirius had spent quite a lot of time at the Potter house, not to mention the time when he lived there)."

"OH YEAH THEN WHERE IS THE DARK MARK?" I was so angry, yet tears filled my eyes.

"Not to put you through any more pain, but it seems they branded her arm with it. She must have been attacked somewhere other than your house." Said Sirius as he kneeled down next to me (I had fallen to my knees when I saw her), and put a hand on my back.

I ran out of the fenced garden when I realized what I had done. I left her in high spirits, and she went or was going to go to the sweets shop by herself. The deatheater must have known we were coming. It must have been a plan to kill us both, but he only got one of us, however they didn't have any problem with killing the one who came.

"IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! WHY! I COULD HAVE SAVED HER!" I screamed, as I dropped to my knees once again.

By now people had started to emerge out of their houses (thankfully I lived in a wizarding community where people would understand what happened, however that was the last thought in my head at that moment).

/End Flashback/

after a month and a half, almost two months, I was beginning to come around, but I had changed a great deal. For the most part I had lost my cockiness, and arrogance towards others, but I managed to keep my bravery (wow cocky much?) and mischievousness. A couple weeks back Sirius said I might as well change my name, I have changed so much. However much did change, there was one thing that would always remain the same, my undying love for Lily Evans.

Today was the day I was supposed to go to school, but I was still lying on my bed thinking about recent events. I stared at the ceiling, and then my desk, ceiling- desk, ceiling- desk. I finally paused on the desk. A small badge sat on it with vibrant letters spelling out, "HEAD BOY." I then looked at my clock on the wall, and realized it was ten thirty. I was going to be late if I didn't leave soon. So I quickly popped the badge on and with a "POP," I was on my way.

Lily's POV

'I am never going to get there on time!' I thought while bustling around my room, packing some last minute thingamabobs.

"LILY FIVE MINUTES!" my mother yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"COMING!" I replied as I tripped over my own feet. Gaining back my composure, I went downstairs to say my goodbyes.

I found my parents sitting at the island counter in the kitchen. "I'm all ready to go. Bye mum, " I said pecking my mother on the cheek, "dad." Doing the same to him.

"Bye Sweetie." My dad said with a sad tone in his voice. His little girl was about to head off to her last year at school, and as Head Girl too. He didn't know much about the wizarding world, but he knew enough to know that being Head Girl was a big deal and something to be proud of.

"Oh mum, could you stop with the waterworks please. It's not like I won't see you at Christmas." I said giving her yet another hug and kiss.

"Of course, sweetums. Petunia wanted to be here, but something came up with Vernon. Something about wanting to tell her something. But don't worry she'll be here at Christmas." To me, this meant that my sister didn't want anything to do with her freak of a sister. This didn't bother me much, my sister was no peaches and cream, and Vernon, well... does a beached whale give you a good enough picture?

I fixed my robes (of course I already had them on), shined my badge and popped that on too. With one last wave, my parents heard a "POP" and I was gone.

James' POV

I arrived at Platform 9 ¾ with 10 minutes to spare. I looked around the platform, knowing my friends were around somewhere. Just then somebody jumped me and I fell to the ground. Sirius was on top of me and Remus stood next to us, as though he were supervising two five year olds.

"Padfoot, you pervert get the fuck off of me!" I said while laughing uncontrollably. Remus just smirked, although I had just lost my sister, my friends could always bring my spirits back to normal. Besides I was going home now.

"Nice to see you too Prongs." Sirius said while getting up and brushing off his trousers.

"Hey Mooney." I said, slapping Remus on the back.

Lily's POV

I reached the station just minutes later. I looked around to see a familiar picture, first years hugging their parents goodbye for the first time. I remember doing this seven years ago. Then I saw people I had no intention of talking to at all this year, let along hug them. James Potter and Sirius Black were paying two second years to carry their luggage onto the train.

'Head duties already.' I thought as I sighed, and reluctantly walked over to them. "Potter, Black! And just what do you think you are doing?"

"Giving these strapping young lads a bit of pocket money, and getting some help at the same time." Snapped Sirius.

"I don't think so. You are old enough, why don't you use magic?"

"Fine we will use magic. Sorry boys, gonna need that money back." He said holding his had out asking for them to give back the money. James hit him in the gut, "Fine you can keep it. Now Evans, leave! We will use magic, are you happy?"

"Not quite... detention for both of you. There now I am happy."

"You can't do that!" James and Sirius yelled at the same time. They were both aggravated, yet James was smiling as well.

"And why, may I ask, can't I? I am Head Girl. I do have authority in the situation. So please enlighten me on this." I said crossing my arms.

"Because, Head Boy has equal authority to the head girl." Sirius sniped at me.

This coming from Sirius meant nothing to me, "Yeah so?"

James chimed in before his friend could say anything, "Well miss goody-two-shoes, I know everything," Sirius could see he was enjoying the fact that I was Head Girl, "It means that I have equal authority to you, and have the power to denounce the said detention."

"What are you on about Potter?" I asked hoping to have misheard what he had just said.

"God you're slow woman! Prongs is Head Boy!" Sirius screamed at me, letting the whole station know.

"Yeah. And since I see no proper reason for this detention, I say it is cancelled. So I suggest you get off your bitches broom and leave us alone!" James Bellowed. Sirius looked at him in shock, James looked just as shocked.

I ran off in deep thought, 'James Potter, Head Boy? What is Dumbledore on?'

James' POV

Sirius and I just stood there, me almost pissing myself at the fact that Lily was Head Girl, and Sirius almost pissing himself at the fact that he had never gotten out of detention scott free before. Then I realized what had just come out of my mouth.

SMACK

"What the bloody hell was that for?" I asked Sirius, while rubbing the backside of my head.

"What the bloody hell are you on, going calling Lily a bitch, I mean I can understand me saying it, but you the man who claims he looooooves Lily Evans." Sirius said elongating the word, "What was that all about?"

"I don't know, it just sort of came out." I said as we entered the train starting to laugh.

We soon found Remus and Peter in the compartment we had claimed years before. We started talking (well actually Sirius and I started talking), about ways to blow up the train. Remus, although half the time thought up some of the best pranks, was one who knew when to stop, and was trying to talk us out of it.

Lily's POV

I had been trying to find a compartment now for twenty minutes, but was plum out of luck. My best friends were in a compartment together, and they were both shoving their tongues down another bloke's mouth. I decided to find another place to sit. However, everywhere was either full, or the people were in full snog-mode. I finally remembered one compartment that would be neither.

'You will not go and sit with them. They are rude, horrid pricks, and they don't deserve your presence.' I thought to myself.

'Then why are you walking towards their compartment?' a little voice in my head asked.

'I don't know! There is nowhere else to sit.' I argued.

Why don't you kick some first years out of their compartment?' the voice asked mischievously.

'Because I am Head Girl, and what example would that make?' I asked as I reached the door to the compartment, its blind was shut.

'Think of the example you are making now.' The voice whispered.

"Oh do shut up." I softly said aloud, as I reached for the doorknob. I opened the door and four boys sat there laughing their heads off, that is until they saw who I was.

James' POV

The laughing had stopped. Everyone was looking at the door but me. I was still looking at Sirius, (I was sitting with my back turned to the door so I could face Padfoot) who was now eyeing me to turn around. I could see this, and I could also see Sirius wasn't amused with what he was looking at. I finally turned around, and almost fell off my seat when I saw Lily Evans in the doorway.

"Yes?" Sirius rudely asked.

"Umm... I can't believe I'm going to do this," she muttered as she looked up at the ceiling, "but um... look there's no room anywhere else, and I need a place to sit, and-" She was cut off.

"Sure." I said almost pissing myself with happiness. Sirius hit me and glared at me asking if I knew what I had just said. I gave him the face that said to shove off.

"Sure?" Lily asked after seeing Sirius and mine's silent row. She knew I liked her, but she thought it had to do with a bet Sirius and I had. However, she then realized where she was and what she was doing, and was able to shrug the row off.

"Ya, sure. Have a seat." I said with a smile.

Lily sat in a corner of the compartment, on the side with Remus and Peter. Although she didn't mind them as much as me and Padfoot, she still kept her distance, and took out a rather thick book.

I was listening to Sirius, well part of me was, the other part was sneaking a look at the redhead in the corner. She was reading a book I didn't recognize, but then again I hadn't picked up many books in my life, however, I had picked up enough to know that this one was muggle-related.

"Huckleberry Finn." I whispered.

"DAMN RIGHT WE'RE GOING TO WIN!" Sirius bellowed mishearing what I had said, "The cup will be in our possession the year we leave!"

Quidditch was the topic, and I could see Lily was not taking any interest in the conversation (neither was I to my friends surprise). In fact, she looked as thought she were about to have a nervous breakdown. She was flipping the pages of her book very rapidly and harshly and often making the loud frustrating sigh to go along with it.

Lily's POV

'I cannot stand it anymore! I am going to burst. Quidditch has to be the most boring subject in the entire wizarding world! And if that Pot-head doesn't stop staring at me, I think I'm going to go ape!' I thought while flipping another page harshly.

'Over what, how hot the fellow is?' that same voice in my head asked.

"Yes. I mean where in God's name would you get such a fucked up idea?" I answered my conscience.

'So you do like him.'

"NO!" I screamed out loud, causing my body to have a full blown spasm, which somewhat, no completely made me fall off the bench. Luckily for me, "Pot-head" was watching my every move and being the seeker he was (we decided to make him a seeker, even thought technically he is a chaser), with the great reflexes and all, he caught me before I hit the hard floor.

He looked down at me and smiled. I couldn't help but smile back. Then I saw a blonde and brunette walk past the door ( I had frustratingly opened the blind earlier because I was beginning to feel claustrophobic)

James' POV

'I'm holding her. Lily Evans is in my grasp, and actually smiling at the same time, and it is directed at me... of all people!' I thought as my smile got bigger.

All eyes were on us and I don't think she liked that, because suddenly with a gasp in came the hysterics.

"Gasp what am I doing? I have to go! What are you smiling at? I supposed you think this is funny and just part of your plan to con me into liking you too! UGH James Potter, you disgust me!" and with that she grabbed her stuff and ran out the door.

I just sat there in shock, but then I heard a big burst of laughter coming from Sirius.

"Ha! How fucking awesome was that? Must be her time of month! How much do you wanna bet, she would do it again if you tried to snog her!" Sirius asked continuing to laugh.

Remus and Peter were snickering, but my smile was gone.

"Oh, shove it Padfoot!"

"Well I thought it was bloody funny!" Sirius replied now stopping his laughter. "Oh well," he said putting his arms behind his head in a relaxing way, "I think now would be a good time to take a nice long... piss." Usually I would have laughed at what my mate had just said, but right now I was too miserable to fool around. "You coming, Prongs?" Asked Sirius.

"Nah, you go."

Sirius walked towards the door but didn't realize it was closed, and walked right into it, causing himself to ricochet right back off and onto the floor.

"We better go with him Peter. You know just in case any doors take a pass at him on the way to the loo." Remus said letting out a burst of laughter as he picked Padfoot off the floor. "Catcha later Prongs." And they walked out, Remus and Peter supporting Sirius on each side.

Ok so how was it... please read and review, we love it. The sooner you review the sooner we will update! Kisses!
