AN: Okay, new story (yes, ANOTHER one…) and if you haven't read my other newest story, "Easier To Run," and you're a HarryxHermione shipper, PLEASE read it, but more importantly, REVIEW IT! Anyway… this story is going to be interesting, I can tell. I have it completely outlined, and it will be 10 chapters, so it'll be a little shortie story. Since it's summer now, I will be able to update often and not have three months between months… So, without further ado, on with the first chapter!

The pointless disclaimer: I own not HP.

Chapter 1: Another Ordinary Day

Lily Evans stormed through the halls of Hogwarts, her black school robes billowing behind her. She was on her way to the Great Hall for breakfast on a March Saturday morning, but she wasn't terribly hungry at the moment…. That god-forsaken Potter had done it again… how he did it, she never figured out, but somehow, every Saturday and Sunday morning, the contents of her trunk was all over the seventh year girls' dormitory. This morning was no different. She had woken up to find all her robes, her books, everything she owned strewn across the floor. And every morning, as always, was a small note in the bottom of her empty trunk, reading, "Just thought I'd tidy up your things a bit! Your friendly dormitory maid, James Potter." Friendly, ha! Thought Lily. James Potter was anything but friendly. She had confronted him so many times… threatened to hex him into the next millennium… but still, he had the audacity to commit this crime every weekend morning. She walked past a couple of third year boys that were tormenting a first year girl and stopped.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" she snapped at them. Both of the third years had their wands out.

"Nothing, your high and mighty Head Girl, ma'am," said one of them sardonically. This did nothing for her already stretched temper currently, and she narrowed her eyes.

"Say again? I don't think I quite heard you properly…" said Lily, glaring at them.

"You heard him," said the boy's companion. "We weren't doing nothing."

"Well, since that's a double negative, that implies that you were doing a whole lot of something," remarked Lily. She noticed the young girl was remaining deliberately silent. "I think house points docked are in order…" She glanced at the patches on the boys' robes and noted the green snake crest. "Five points apiece from Slytherin."

"What?" yelled the first boy. "You can't do that!"

"Well, actually, you'll find that the 'high and mighty Head Girl' has many privileges, and docking points is one of them," said Lily. "And if you don't leave this girl alone, I'll exercise the privilege to give you both detention." The two boys glared at Lily before walking off in the opposite direction. Lily then bent down slightly so she could be at eye level with the first year girl. She noticed that she was in Gryffindor.

"Hi, my name's Lily," she said.

"I know… you're the Head Girl, everyone knows who you are," said the girl quietly.

"Well, what's your name?"

"I'm Kiara Dynerst," replied the girl.

"That's a pretty name, I like it. Now, if those two boys ever bother you again, you come find me and let me know, okay?"

"Okay," she said with a smile. "Are you going to breakfast?" Kiara asked.

"Yes, I am."

"Can I walk down with you? I—" Kiara hesitated. "All my friends are already down there, so I don't have anyone to walk with."

"Sure," said Lily, rising again to her full height. She walked slightly slower than normal so Kiara could keep up, since Lily's legs were much longer than hers and took longer strides. She was glad she had to solve that confrontation; it lessened her anger toward James for the moment.

Once Lily and Kiara got to the Great Hall, they separated and Lily sat down with her best friend, Margo. She was fairly short for being seventeen, with several freckles and reddish-brown hair.

"He did it again," said Lily simply.

"I assure you, Lil, when I left the dorm, everything was neat as a pin," said Margo. "I thought maybe he had finally quit."

"I've just got to stop being the last girl up," said Lily. "It's, what, nine thirty now?"

"Yeah," said Margo, checking her watch. "When I left it was eight forty five."

"And you've been down here all this time?" asked Lily.

"Well… no…" said Margo quietly, a pink tinge appearing in her cheeks and mischievous smile growing on her lips. Lily's eyes widened.

"Did he—" asked Lily, not finishing the question. Margo nodded.

"If you're thinking the same thing I am, then yes." Lily lowered her voice to a whisper.

"Did Daniel kiss you?" Margo blushed full out and nodded. Daniel Boot was a Ravenclaw seventh year. He was dashingly handsome, a prefect, and quite a gentleman. He also happened to be Margo's boyfriend since the beginning of the school year.

"So how was it?" asked Lily. All the girls were jealous of Margo for getting one of the best looking guys in the seventh year. Margo just smiled. Lily didn't inquire further. The other two boys the girls drooled over were James Potter and Sirius Black. Lily shuddered at the very thought of being in a relationship with James Potter. Sirius wasn't much better, but given the choice between the two, she'd probably pick Sirius. The last thing she needed was to be the girlfriend of the arrogant, pompous, haughty, Head Boy that was James Potter. The most association that she wanted with him was the fact that they were partners in school administration. How he even got to be Head Boy she couldn't manage to figure out.

"Lily? Are you in there?" asked Margo, snapping her fingers in front of Lily's face.

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I was just thinking. Were you saying something?" said Lily.

"Yes, I was asking you what you were going to say to Potter this time, since he's heading your way," said Margo, nodding in the direction of the Great Hall entrance. Lily whipped her head around and saw James strutting her direction, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Lovely," said Lily. "I'm running out of comebacks, Margo… this happens too damn often."

"Cursing, Lily? Naughty, naughty," said James, walking up to Lily. She laughed out loud.

"Me? I'm nothing compared to you, Potter!" she retorted.

"Moody, are we?" asked James coolly.

"Just a little bit," said Lily stiffly.

"Come on, Lily, lighten up, it's Saturday… no classes at all…" James rambled.

"Yes, isn't it wonderful? That gives me an excuse to not see you all day long!" said Lily, standing and looking James Arrogant Potter right in the eyes. The entire Gryffindor table became silent, watching the pair with interest.

"Now, Lily, you don't really feel that way, do you?" asked James, raising his eyebrows, clearly enjoying the audience.

"Yes, James Potter, I do, and if you don't stop ransacking my room every damn weekend morning I'll—"

"You'll what?" said James into her ear, quietly, so no one could hear. Then, without warning, he suddenly pressed his lips onto hers. Lily quite clearly heard the entire table gasp as a whole. Lily had kissed several boys before, but for James Potter to force himself upon her… that was a different story. She forcefully shoved him away and glared at him with such hatred that even the people around her felt the heat in her gaze.

"You insolent bastard!" Lily shouted, about the time that Headmaster Dumbledore came walking over to Lily and James to sort out the quarrel. He no longer had the jovial twinkle in his eyes he usually possessed.

"Mr. Potter, Miss Evans, I think you should come with me," he said calmly.

Lily glared at James all the way up to the Headmaster's office.
