Chapter One: The Perfect Landing.
NOTICE: Don't own any thing of J.K.R. except for the characters I made up…and I own the plot, 'course. Kinda contradicts the actual Harry Potter book.
Happy Reading!

I guess it all started when I fell on him.
Oh, believe me, it wasn't like one of those graceful movie falls where the character's hair stays perfect and ends up falling in love with the macho, sexy man that she fell oh so softly on. Nope, it was far from that. I don't think I will ever live down the fact that I squashed James Potter. All thanks to Black's rotten banana peel. So naturally, when I set my foot on the disgusting thing, I slipped like any klutzy 16 years old would.
When the gravity started to pull me down and my arms were flopping like a seagull, I'm also pretty sure that I had let out somewhat of a grunt that sounded like a pig in a bacon factory. Maybe if I had let out a gasp or a high feminine scream, it wouldn't have been that bad. But I grunted.
Joy…
After I fell on Potter, whom, may I add screamed like a girl, my arms were sprawled on top of him like an eagle that got ran over by a fire tuck. Legs were just everywhere and so was my delightful, extra bushy, copper red, yarn like thing called hair. And I'm pretty sure passer bys saw the green and red knickers that I got from my Grandma last Christmas.
Oh yes, I had also called Potter a bombastic bastard later and offended the most popular and widely known trickster in all of Hogwarts.
Might I have just committed social suicide? There is a great possibility…

I guess it all started when she fell on me. The whole incident was just magical. It should have been into a motion picture. I would have been amazing playing the leading role. Yes, I will always remember the time Lily Evans crashed into my embrace.
It was entirely Sirius's fault that the girl fell on me. He was eating a banana and wasn't environmentally concerned enough to throw the peel into the trash bin five paces away.
I will have to remind myself to thank him later.
When she tripped, I remember her giving a little gasp and falling so gently like an autumn leaf, her glorious red hair flying behind her… Her bright green eyes that fluttered closed when I caught her in my arms… Without a sound we fell to the ground with her dress hiked up to her smooth, creamy thighs…
…
I think that was also when we fell in love. Well, I fell in love…but I'm pretty sure Evans did too but was just in denial.

The bushy red head struggled to untangle herself from the boy with the jet-black hair. Right on the bat, the girl realized what an awkward situation it's going to be. The boy only made it worse by groaning like a survivor of a mass bombing. Who's fault was it to blame? She only tripped.
"Ger-uff." The boy managed to choke out through the mass amount of hair that had some how gotten into his mouth. "Ger-uff-dam-it!"
"I'm trying to! You know it doesn't help with the fact that you are chewing on my bloody hair." The girl called out heatedly. She couldn't believe how rude he was. She didn't mean to crush him, besides she was skin and bones. How heavy could that be?
The boy groaned again. This was only because the girl's knee was sticking unpleasantly near his groin. Instantly, he shoved her off of him. He will regret that few days later.
It was only a matter of time that the friends of the two decided to help. A girl with long blonde hair bent over to help the girl and a boy with extremely dark handsome features bent down to help the boy.
People passing by giggled and walked around the mess created by the two.
"You all right, James? Did the girl smush the pulp out of ya?" Sirius Black asked the boy gruffly, his eyes laughing, and patted some invisible dirt of his friend's shoulders.
"Nearly." James Potter mumbled and turned to watch the pretty blonde pull her friend up only to have the girl fall again.
"Are you ok? Anything hurt Lily?" the blonde asked gently, her face troubled.
"I'm good…I think…" Lily Evans said and bent to pick up the scattered books on the ground.
"Of course she's fine! The woman used me as a cushion! I'm the one that's hurt." James snapped angrily at the girls. He was expecting them to apologize soon. But fierce green eyes met his angry blue ones.
"It was an accident!" she snapped back sounding even angrier than James. "If I had a choice, you would be the last person I'd choose to land on!"
James Potter gasped and Sirius gaped with awe at the bushy red head. Obviously, the girl didn't know who the man she had offended was.
"Well!" James simply said. He was never in a situation like this before with a girl. Normally, they would have all just flocked to him and tell him how wonderful he was. This girl was doing the exact opposite. "I will accept that as an apology."
"I didn't say I was sorry." The girl snapped again, her dark brows fuming together and eyes glowing dangerously.
The blonde girl tugged anxiously at her friend's sleeves. "Lily…"
"How dare you! You nearly crushed the life out of me! You're better sorry!"
"Ha! Who do you think you are, you bombastic bastard?" Lily exclaimed furiously. "And who am I to listen to you?"
"Why you…" James said crossly and was about to pounce on the girl. Sirius got a tight hold of his friend and pulled him back a couple of feet. The crowd around them became silent.
"Lily isn't it?" Sirius asked calmly, his eyes dancing with delight. "I suggest you lay low for awhile. Common James, we have better places to be than here."
"No! How dare she…Let me go Sirius, let me go!" James yelled out as his friend pulled him into a headlock. The dark boy dragged his angry friend down the corridor and disappeared behind the corner. Random swear words were still heard clearly through the halls.
Lily watched them walk away with disgust in her face. What a great way to start off a year, meet a jerk who thinks he is all high and mighty.
The crowd around them dispersed with much whispering and staring. Lily gathered up the remaining of her books and walked to class with her friend.
"Lily, you made a mistake by calling Potter a bastard." Her friend Allison said quietly.
"It's only James Potter, what can he do." Lily muttered angrily. "Stupid, egotistic prat…I am not that heavy…"
Allison only gave her one of her worried looks and walked on in silence.
Lily had never really talked to James Potter before. He was always in the popular crowd and she was the one in shadows who worried only about studying. She had heard of his Marauders gang and of their highly complex pranks, but she only thought them childish and immature. However, Lily did always had a small desire to be known by him, he was of course, extremely attractive and she was a teenager with over active hormones. Can you really blame her?
Now, for the first time that she had ever talked to him, he showed the side of him exactly like what Lily had predicated She wasn't sure she was very flattered by his handsome features and awesome Quidditch skills anymore.
And he had definitely ruined the first day of her 6th year.

"Who do you think you are, you bombastic bastard?"
Those words rang loudly like bells in James Potter's head.
Damn…stupid girl…doesn't know her position…
How dare she.
James Potter just can't let her go. Those pricing green eyes…So bright. And the way her face frowned that made him feel like the biggest jerk in the word. And that voice. He just can't let it go. What had made her call him such a name? He did nothing to her. Why is she making him feel that way? There was not one girl who could refuse him and she did it without a blink of an eye.
She must have made him looked so stupid, telling him off in front of that crowd. Anger erupted inside him. How dare she…
The Gryffindor common's silence was interrupted by a roar from the boy with jet-black hair and round spectacles.
"WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?"
Every one jumped except for the two boys sitting near him.
One of the boys sighed and shook his head sadly. "Let it go James, it's about time a girl told you off. You are a bastard you know…"
"I know that! But she doesn't have any right to tell me that! Who does she think she is?" James retorted hotly.
"What happened now, Sirius?" The other boy asked curiously and looked up from his book
"A girl in the corridors cheeked James." Sirius Black answered with a chuckle. "Our little Prongs is just not used to that, Remus."
The sandy blonde haired boy gave a half smirk at the still fuming boy with the raven black hair and asked, "Who was it?"
"Some extremely ugly girl with acne all over her face. Big puffy hair and evil green eyes." James answered instantly.
"Her name was Lily…something…" Sirius added informally while he folded a paper airplane, his slender fingers working quickly around the paper edges.
"Lily Evans?" Remus Lupin asked with interest. "I'm surprised you think she's ugly...I find her rather attractive."
"You what?" James gasped out in surprise. "How do you know her?"
"Don't you think she's real pretty too Sirius?" Remus asked the longhaired boy with a grin on his face. He completely ignored James's last question.
"Oh yes, very." Sirus answered with an exaggerated sigh.
"Answer me! How do you know her?"
"The way her legs curve…"
"Her long fiery hair…"
"WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONS?"
With a loud crash, James had grabbed the sandy haired boy and knocked him out of his seat. Most of the people in the common room left quietly, deciding it's best to stay away from an angry James Potter for awhile.
Sirius and Remus, however, did not looked scared at all. The two boys on the floor looked at each other in silence for awhile and Sirius launched his paper airplane. It landed in James's unruly black hair. The boy pinned under him burst into laughter.
"Tell me Lupin!" James called angrily and brushed the airplane off of his head.
"Haha…heheehee, ok…ok, she's in all of our classes, you dim nut…hahaha, she's just too.hahaha, quiet…hahehe, for anyone to notice her. Snort. Hahaha"
James stood up with a confused look on his handsome face. "Really? How can I have not noticed her? I mean…look at her…" he muttered to himself.
"James, mate, your face is getting red." Sirius said with an amused grin.
"Wha-Did I ask you if my face was red or not?" James said hotly.
Sirius frowned and launched another plane that hit James between the eyes.
Remus sat up from the floor and picked up his book. "The only reason that you two haven't seen her before is because you barely show up for class and when you do, you're either snogging you brains out or playing pranks on people."
"Lily…Lily…Lily…Hily…Willy…Lily." James murmured, his eyes a bit unfocused. Sirius looked at Rebus and raised an eyebrow. The boy shrugged.
"Why are you getting all worked up over some silly girl James?" Sirius asked as he watched the tall lanky Gryffindor boy pace around the common room.
"Get Wormtail in here…I have plans." James said a few seconds later and smirked.
"What kind of plans is that my sweet, sweet boy." Sirius asked cautiously.
"LILY EVENS IS GOING DOWN!"
"It's EvANs" Remus Lupin corrected him with out looking out of the book. He was already starting to feel sorry for the quiet girl with the pretty green eyes. "Count me out of this…full moon's coming soon…"
In the far corner of the vast room, a girl with white blonde hair looked up worriedly at the three boys sitting near the fire. Her eyes lingered a bit on the tallest one with glasses and messy black hair and returned back to the books and parchments on her lap. She sighed inwardly and shook her head.
