Second year rolled around, James Potter was no longer my friend. He was my sworn enemy. I was forgotten, me, Lily Evans just another brick in the hall. Everything had changed.

Even James had changed over the summer. His voice had suddenly become deeper and that not all, he became taller—and don't think I like him—handsome. James and his friends (except Remus) forgot all about me.

Now you may ask why they forgot me. Well I'm not as pretty as other girls. My hair was frizzy and I had a thousand freckles. Ugly brown freckles. I still looked like a first year in my opinion. Remus said I was cute and nicknamed me Carrot top. Poor Remus he never understood.

I was walking to class one day when I ran into James Potter himself. His messy black hair casually went into the middle of his eyes. I was walking fast and had tons of books in my arms looking at the floor when BAM! I ran into him. Except I didn't know it was him.

"Oh my gosh!" I said scrambling around on the floor trying to pick up my books, "I'm so sorry."

"Watch were your going"

I looked up, James Potter was standing there glaring at me, and then he disappeared into the crowd. Then and there I vowed to hate Potter. No matter what Remus did or said about him. I felt and hand in my shoulder. I looked up into the face of Remus Lupin who grinned at me. I frowned back at him. Remus bent down to help me with my books when the bell rang. We were left in the deserted hallway.

"You're going to be late Remus" I said picking up the last book.

Remus shrugged, "So will you."

"Good point" I laughed.

Smiling he took some of my books from me, "shall we go then?" He asked me.

"Yes we shall" I said sticking my quill behind my ear.

When we walked into the classroom the whole class went quite. Remus walked me over to my desk and handed my e my books, I smiled softly.

"Thanks Remus" I said.

"No Prob Carrot Top" he said winking.

Remus talked quietly to the teacher for a second then sat down in front of me next to James Potter and Sirius Black. I was sitting directly behind James Potter so I planned my first attack.

Instead of taking notes, I started kicking the back of his chair. The first time he turned I smiled apologetically. The second time I kicked him he sort of growled. The third time...

"STOP IT!"

"Mr. Potter?" The teacher said, "Please turn around."

"But—" Said Potter: I grinned evilly.

I didn't stop kicking him till five minutes before the end of class. The teacher gave us those last five minutes to talk so James Potter whipped around in his seat.

"Bloody vixen you got me in trouble!"

"It's not like you don't get in trouble anyways." I rolled my eyes.

Black and Remus both started chuckling at this comment. Remus had to take a deep breath before he could stop laughing.

"She's got a point you know" Remus said.

"Shove off Remus" Potter muttered eyes not leaving me.

"That's the way you treat your friends?" I said, "I feel sorry for them then."

"You know why you don't have any friends?" He shot back, "Because you're a bloody werewolf that why, nobody likes werewolves."

Remus jumped up and grabbed his bag. Without a backwards glance he strode out of the classroom. Black watched him go with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's up with him?" Black asked.

"Don't know" Potter muttered back then he turned to me, "you need to wake up and smell the coffee Evans, you have no friends."

"That's not true, I have Remus." I said stubbornly.

"Remus feels sorry for you." Potter said then he and Black stood up and both strode out after Remus.

Grumbling I picked up my bag. How dare he say that? Remus was my friend, my best friend. My only friend. I sadly walked out of the classroom. Potter was right. I didn't have any friends. Everyone made fun of me and mocked my behind my back. I never gave people a chance either, every time one of my dorms mates talked to be I just smiled and answered nicely.

Way to go Lily, you have no friends. As I turned the corner to Gryffindor Common room I heard voices talking, I stopped in my tracks, it was Potter and Black.

"—Say yes" Black was telling Potter.

"No Sirius I hate her okay? For all you know Lily Evans is my worst enemy, we always will be. I hate her." Potter said, "Just keep that thought in your head."

"Okay as you wish" Black said.

Tears were brought to my eyes, how dare the basterd? How dare he! He insulted me! How could he! I walked strait to him and pushed past him harshly. He fell to the ground. I said the password to the Fat lady who looked from Me, To Potter, To Black, then back to me and said, "As you wish" and swung open. I glared once more at him then went inside, swinging the portrait shut behind me.

James Potter had just started Wizarding world War III.
