First day!

The great hall was filled with people, owls and most importantly of all – food! Children from all seven years and all four houses were eating breakfast without a care in the world: bacon, eggs, cereal, toast, pancakes, muffins. You name it, it was there. Owls came swooshing in with mail and packages from their parents containing items which students forgot to pack when they left for Hogwarts. Over all the noise you could hear quiet groans as the four year heads came down the tables handing out timetables to all the students. As Lily was handed her timetable she looked down and inwardly sighed. Today she had double potions and double transfigeration. Great, having to endure a lesson with Slughorn and a lesson with James. Just what she needed on a Monday.

Meanwhile as the Mauderers stood up and prepared to leave the great hall, the usual flock of admirers came up to them as always trying their best to be noticed by either James, Sirius or Remus. As the four biys managed to get fid of their flock of girls and made their way across the school grounds towards Care of magical creatures, James noticed one perticular blonde infront of him who's bag had spilled. She was now trying to mend her bag and shove all the contents inside. James went over to help.

" Here, let me help you with those," he volenteered as he started picking up her books.

" Thanks!" she said as she looked up flicking her long blonde hair over her shoulder and giving him a smile. "I don't know what happened, i was just walking along and the bag ripped. Sorry i havn't introduced myself. My name's Francessca Edwards, but everyone calls me Chessy." She said as she held out her hand.

James shook her hand, "James Pottor"

She smiled at him again "Nice to meet you James, i just transferred from Sydney School of witchcraft and wizardry, i come from Australia and you're my first new friend" she laughed.

James smiled, "Well in that case i would like to introduce you to Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Petttigrew. My three best mates." He said as he pointed to each one in turn.

She shook each of their hands adn smiled, "Great to meet you guys, now is there any chance of you telling me where i can find Care of magical creatures?"

"Right this way, we're all going there ourselves." He said as he placed his arm through hers and led the way down the grass towards the first class of the new school year.

&&&&&&&&&

Lily came down to the great hall for lunch and was suprised to see a new girls at Griffindor table. Who was she? Where did she come from? And what on earth possesed her to eat lunch with James Pottor and co? As she walked nearer she noticed someting else, James had his arm lying lazily round this girls shoulders. Suddenly Lily felt a surge of heat rise from her stomach to her cheeks and then into her eyes and all she wanted to do was give this newcommer a hard slap around the face – preferbly (sp?) with a fish. Instead she waled over to Grace and Alice and helped herself to some food.

Wow, where did those feelings come from? She thought to herslf. I don't even like James Pottor, in fact i hate him. So why would i care if he has found himself a new girl to toy with? After all that was what she has wanted for the past seven years. So why did it hurt all of a sudden? Lets face it you love the attention he gives you. No i don't. Lily kept arguing between her inner emotions, and finally got up and went to the liberary to study so hard that she'll forget all about Pottor.

&&&&&&&&&

James and Chessy left the great hall after lunch and headed out towards the grounds once more. They sat down on a bench by the lake and watched the giant squid basking in the sun.

"So what lesson do you have next then?" James questioned when they had got comfortable.

"Double Transfiguration, please say that one of you guys are in that class, I'd hate to not know anyone. Meeting people is so…daunting."

James was laughing "Have no fear, Pottor is here. No seriously there's nothing to worry about. Me, Black, Lupin, Pettigrew are all in that class as is our head girl. You'll like her and her friends, I guess you'll be sharing a dormitory with them so it's bout time you meet em. They're nice, don't worry." He added as he saw the worried look on Chessy's face.

"Ok then if you're sure" she laughed and then changed the subject. "You wouldn't know whose the quidditch captain would you? It's just that I loved playing when I lived in Australia and I was wondering if there were any openings on the team."

"I am, for the third year running, I'm the seeker," he added. "What position do you like to play?"

"Beater, don't give me that look I have one mighty hit – for a girl." She said when she saw James' expression. He looked like a fish out of water.

When James finally managed to close his mouth and process thoughts he informed her, "Tryouts are Friday, 7 o clock, don't be late, you don't want to make a bad impression now do you?" he looked her in the eye then added. "Come on, we better get going, we'll be late and McGonagall will have a fit, or kittens, which ever way you want to think of it" he laughed as they started to make their way up to the castle and afternoon classes.

&&&&&&&&&

As Lily walked into transfiguration she noticed the new girl again, and she was sitting next to James. Why oh why did life have to be so cruel now? You don't like James Pottor so why do you care? It's not as if you like him. Oh shut up! Her heart told her head, and went to sit in her usual seat to wait the class to begin.

James saw Lily enter the class and nudged Chessy to get her attention. "See that girl at the front? The one with the red coloured hair. That's Lily Evans," he told her as professor McGonagall walked in the classroom. "I'll introduce you to her after the class, you'll like her she's nice, even if she is head girl." He chuckled.

&&&&&&&&&

As the class ended Lily packed up her bag and prepared to leave when James came up to her, with the new girl trailing behind him. "Lily, I'd like you to meet Chessy, Chessy this is Lily." He introduced then turned his attention to Lily. "Can you please look after her while I go meet the guys and plan…um…what we have for dinner." He stumbled, and then rushed on. "It's her first day here and she's just transferred from Australia. Well see ya."

With that he rushed out of the room heading for Gryffindor common room. Lily turned her attention to this new girl dumped in front of her.

"Guday," she said handing out her hand. "My name's Chessy nice to meet ya."

"Lily Evans, head girl," she replied. "Here let me show you to our dormitory and to meet the rest of the guys." She and Chessy walked out and headed to the great hall to find Grace, Katie and Lucy.

&&&&&&&&&

AN ok that's it, its short course I'm tired. I've only just realised that I've spelt Pottor wrong all this time. I can't be bothered to change it all so I will make an effort to spell it right on chapter 4 and beyond.

Please review! I'm telling you I will go on strike if you don't. I can only write if I'm happy and I'm only happy if you review. Hint hint, there we go. Hope you enjoyed.
