Disclaimer: Sigh I own nothing, ok? Except for the plot. I am proud to say that that is my very own creation.

Summary: So what goes on inside the brilliant mind of a certain Lily Evans? She's Head Girl…she's respectable…she's intelligent…she writes an awful lot about a certain dark haired boy…. and she's most likely going slightly insane

A/N: Oh all you reviewers are just too sweet! Now, I must admit that I'm writing this late at night (or is it early morning?) and am much too lazy and lacking the time to thank you all individually. You know who you are and I am deeply grateful to you all! Also, I am sorry for the wait. I was away on the weekend and then there was work and I spent 4 hours mailing invoices and statements. The only good product of all that work was some ideas for this story. Isn't work wonderful? All right I'm shutting up now. On with the story!

The Diary of Lily Evans Chapter Four

History of Magic – because Professor Binns is too spaced out to notice

Merlin. Why does James have to sit right in front of me? You can tell he only showered minutes ago. He only just made it to class and his hair is all damp and---

You really can't resist devoting every waking moment to thoughts about your husband, can you Mrs. Potter?

Oh sod off Chelsea.

Now, now Mrs. Potter, that isn't very nice. I am the Maid of Honour, after all.

'Maid of honour' isn't capitalized you twit.

Ah, but I'm just that cool.

……..

I read your entry from last night.

Crud.

You think James is sexy.

Technically, I never said that. I said he was adorable.

That's just Lily-speak for 'sexy'.

Oh right. Of course. How could I, Lily Evans, not have figured that out? smacks self on forehead

Careful there, James won't want you to damage that pretty little face of yours. Oh look, he's turned around.

Why is he smiling like that at me? What's he looking at now?

He's looking at our desk…

SHUT THE BOOK! SHUT THE BOOK!

Charms – Damage control

Do you think he saw?

No.

Do you mean that?

No.

CHELSEA!

Well he WAS looking right at it…the chance of him reading it is quite good.

CHELSEA!

It's not MY fault! You're the one who left it in such a visible place.

You're not helping.

He's watching us.

OMG. WHERE?

At his desk. Look, over there.

WHY IS HE SMIRKING!

I don't think we want to know.

YOU JUST HAD TO CALL ME MRS. POTTER, DIDN'T YOU? YOU JUST HAD TO SAY THAT WHOLE THING ABOUT 'SEXY' AND 'ADORABLE', DIDN'T YOU!

Oh look, Sirius is laughing now.

YOU STARTED ALL OF THIS! YOU HAVE CONDEMNED ME!

I TOLD you keeping a diary was a bad idea.

IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT IT'S NOW THE WORST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED!

Calm down, Lily.

NO! JAMES POTTER THINKS I LIKE HIM!

But you do.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT! HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW!

Maybe he doesn't?

That stupid twit with his pink hair and his pink haired friend…Just HAD to go and turn my hair pink…Couldn't just leave me alone…PINK!

Can you fit the word 'pink' in there one more time?

What am I supposed to do?

Deny everything?

Do you think that will work?

Well, no. But it's the only plan we've got.

I could avoid him for the rest of my life.

Good luck with that.

Well, think about it. I'll just be on the move for the rest of my life; like a nomad. He'll never find me.

Yeah? Have fun with that during your detention.

Oh Merlin.

Speaking of that, I have a spell for you to try while you're there.

Will it make me invisible?

No.

Then it sucks.

Lily, be quiet. It'll help you to better document your encounters with James.

MY LIFE IS NOT A DOCUMENTARY! I'M NOT LIKE THE CROCODILE HUNTER!

Lily, this tale of your life has to be as accurate as possible. When you're married to James don't you want to be able to look back and see exactly how it happened.

I AM NOT MARRYING JAMES POTTER! AND DO YOU REALISE THAT YOUR 'DOCUMENTING' IS EXACTLY WHAT GOT ME IN THIS HORRIBLE PREDICUMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE!

It didn't get you a detention. That was all your own doing.

But because of you and your comments now James KNOWS.

That's just speculation. He may know nothing.

THEN WHY DOES HE KEEP SMILING?

Maybe he's just in a friendly mood? I don't get why you refuse to go out with him when you actually like him.

Because.

Ah I see. Very thorough answer.

Oh sod off, Chelsea.

Come on, answer me.

Fine. It's because I don't want to give in.

What?

He's asked me all these years, and at first I said no because he was a pig-headed jerk, but now, he isn't as much (except he turned my hair PINK!) and now I can't say yes on principle.

So in other words you're just as stubborn as he is? And get over the pink hair thing. You turned his AND Sirius' the same colour.

And I very well may do the same to you.

You can try my dearest friend. You can try.

Maybe I will!

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Why?

Because I have a plan.

And that's supposed to persuade me?

Yes.

And why's that?

Because it's a really good plan.

Oh goody-goody-gum-drops.

Stop being so sarcastic. Now, we're going to find out why James is smiling.

How?

With a nice little spell that will allow us to have everything they're saying written on this very page.

THAT'S EVESDROPPING!

We won't be dropping any eves, I assure you. That involves listening. We'll simply be reading. It's like a story.

But---

DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHY HE'S SMILING OR NOT!

Well…yes.

Then stop complaining.

Fine.

Alright, here we go.

Evesiosa Dropium Spell: Recording>

"---Lily's?" Sirius asked, looking sceptical.

"I SAW my name on the page in HER writing, Padfoot. She was writing about me," James explained, exasperated.

"Well, what did it say?"

"I don't know. I was so thrilled when I saw my name I just smiled and then she panicked and shut the book."

There was a pause as Sirius got a devious gleam in his dark eyes.

"We have to steal it and find out what it says."

Remus looked up from his work, "I can't allow you to do that. Pulling pranks is one thing but STEALING Lily Evans' diary is another. Plus, she'd kill you, James."

"Yeah."

"And knowing Lily," continued Remus, "what she wrote about you probably was not at all flattering."

"All right Moony. I get the idea."

Sirius huffed, "I still say we should steal it and find out what she wrote. Maybe I'm in there too!"

"I doubt that Sirius," James commented, leaning back in his chair, sighing and running a hand through his hair.

"And why's that, James?"

"Because she hates you even more that she hates me."

"Valid point, but still."

Evesiosa Dropium Spell: Terminated>

See Lily? They don't know.

Lily? Lily what's wrong? You look kind of pale.

He thinks I hate him.

No duh. So does the whole school.

But I don't.

I know.

He looks so sad, just sitting there, all dejected and mope-y.

Well then, just go tell him you're madly in love with him and that you want to get married and have his children. That's bound to brighten his day. Or you could just change his hair back to normal.

I'm not even going to acknowledge the first comment.

That's because you're still in denial. But anyways, what about changing his hair back?

I can't.

And why not?

Because!

Please, continue.

What's to say thathe won't refuseturn my hair back to normal in return?

Lily, the poor boy is practically in love with you. He would definitely turn your hair back to normal.

Yes, but what if he doesn't?

Merlin you're stubborn. You should just all agree to change each other's hair back in your detention tomorrow.

Oh sod off.

You seem to be saying that a lot lately.

A/N: Wow! Look at the nice long chapter I wrote for you! This ended up a lot longer than I expected. I was going to put the detention in this chapter but then the beginning got rolling and next thing I know I'm at 8 pages and it's 3:36am. Well, this was a nice treat for all of you wasn't it? I'll see if I can update again tomorrow as I will be going away in the next few days for quite a while (only 12 days…). But look….I may even start the next chapter right now as I have it all planned in my head….I'm so excited cause we finally get----AHEM….No, I will not spoil it. :D
