------------------------

Lily opened her eyes and wondered for a moment why she was so happy, then she remembered.

'I am James Potter's girlfriend,' she thought.

She looked over at Harriet's bed and silently snorted, 'Boy, if Remus could see her now.'

She had obviously unceremoniously thrown herself onto her own bed still full clothed and was still lying on top of the covers snoring softly.

Lily picked up her wand from her bedside table and cast a quick but difficult charm on Harriet. In a moment she had PJ's on and was tucked in to her bed.

That was when it hit her for the second time in the one-day,

'I am James Potter's girlfriend, I am James Potters girlfriend.'

Still in a daze she got dressed and moved downstairs to the common room.

James woke up and with a groan thought, I'm Lily Evans' boyfriend.'

When he walked down the stairs to the common room he wasn't sure what he'd been expecting.

He'd dreamed about walking down stairs and their being a big sign reading,' L.E HEART J.P'

What he hadn't been expecting was Lily not being in the common room at all. Curious, he walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast by himself for the first time ever.

As he walked it hit him for the second time that day, 'I'm Lily Evans' boyfriend!'

Lily sat quietly eating her breakfast when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

'Looky here, Looky here! A mudblood all on her own. Where's your Queen Bee friend and her bodyguards?'

'I don't need her to fight you Bellatrix. I can fight my own battles. You on the other hand need Severus to back you up.' Lily sneered back.

'I don't NEED him. I don't NEED anyone. I don't want to fight you anyway, if I spilled any of your blood the castle would be contaminated with mudblood, literally.'

'Back off Bella!' Lily heard a voice behind her say. Bellatrix had only just noticed its owner too, because when she saw them her grin faded a little.

'Potter, perfect Potter. I didn't think you liked little Miss Head Girl. Not from what I heard anyway. I heard she hurt my dear cousin so you stood up and cursed her. Sunk to new lows Potter, you have to practice on your own pathetic and unworthy friends. Shame. I could duel you much better than her.'

'Leave Lily and I be. We are trying to eat our breakfast in peace.' A sudden thought occurred to James. It was perfect.

'My – uh – girlfriend and I want some peace I said.'

In reply to Bellatrix's stunned face he added.

'Didn't you hear me? My girlfriend and I who were about to discuss our first date would like you to leave!'

It was perfect. If anyone was to make sure the whole school knew it was Bellatrix.

Lily was slightly stunned. She'd thought James would keep their relationship a secret. But then there he was telling the biggest blabbermouth in the school about them. 'He must really love me,' murmured Lily dreamily.

'What was that Lily?' James asked sitting down.

'Nothing.'

'Okay then,' thought James, 'this one was really wacked'.

What was he doing? He'd thought about the FLOWER PLAN all night and the more he thought about it the more horrible it sounded.

'Hey Prongs,' he heard Remus say.

REMUS. He'd completely forgot. What would Remus say when he found out what James was doing to his girlfriends best friend. James winced again when he remembered what Remus had said, 'she's not just Hettie's best friend, she's my friend too you know.'

This had to stop right this instant. He grabbed Lily's hand and whispered in her ear, 'can we go somewhere?'

She looked surprised but nodded.

Lily didn't know what was happening. Her heart had moved to her throat, it felt like it was singing rock 'n' roll. James pulled her out of the great hall and into a small corner of the Entrance Hall.

She was worried and excited all at the same time.

Thinking how he was going to tell her about the FLOWER PLAN, he dragged her to his most frequented space in Hogwarts, unofficially known as 'Potter's Snog Corner.'

He leaned up against the wall and looked at Lily, her flaming hair was pulled back in a tight bun and her eyebrows were raised in confusion.

'James what's goin-'

'Lily there is something I have to tell you.'

He braced himself. Ready for her to kick him in the groin, when he saw none other than Jane Login watching them with interest. When she saw she had been spotted she ran off into the Great Hall yelling to one of her friends that she had something BIG to tell her.

James closed his eyes. No matter how mean this was to Lily, he had to do it. If he ever wanted to use this corner again he would have to, 'I um, really like you Lily.' He said lamely.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief, 'I really like you too James. Harriet told me just to give up on you but I never did. Can I tell you a secret?'

James nodded.

'I've liked you since our first year. Do you remember?'

He nodded again. How could he not remember? It was on the train, the same day he'd made a potential best friend, Sirius Black. The train was about to leave when a girl came running down the platform with her luggage. James, being the gentleman he was had gotten off the train and hurriedly helped her on with all her luggage.

'I'm sorry I'm late. I couldn't figure out how to get through the wall.' She puffed out. Her red hair was in her eyes from running but James could see they were bright green.

Not really caring about the girl, James went back to Sirius who was explaining his family to James.

Later that day James and Sirius had joined forces with a boy called Remus Lupin. After some discussion the boys had already made up numerous pranks and harmless jokes they could play on anyone. It was after more discussion that James saw that Remus Lupin would be a real asset to their group. His brains and quiet nature would keep them out of trouble.

Walking up towards the hall they had seen a small boy being bullied by a greasy haired git. They saved the boy and became friends at once, Pettigrew, as James later found out was no real asset to the group, but he was as loyal as the rest of them.

As sorting began James noticed the red head again, she was crying. It took him a moment to realise why but then he saw Bellatrix Black, Sirius' cousin whispering something in her ear.

As 'Balfing, Arnold' was called to be sorted James moved towards this small girl.

When he reached her he grabbed at her hand and pulled her away. She'd looked at him, tears in her eyes, terrified he was going to be one of Bella's friends.

'I'm James. James Potter.' He'd said matter of factly introducing himself.

She'd giggled, when he asked why she explained about James Bond and how he always introduced himself in a similar way.

'Are you a muggleborn?' he asked, intrigued by this Bond.

Her face changed, it was now similar to the one she'd had with Bellatrix,

'Yes I am. But it's not my fault I don't understand why you people are so mean to me just because my parents are muggles. I can't help it, it's just the way I am.'

She started to cry and James was stunned. She thought he was a Slytherine. Most importantly, he'd made a girl cry.

'Look I'm really sorry, I don't mind your muggleborn. Really it's only scum like Bella who think like that!'

'Really?'

'Really. So I've introduced myself. What's your name?'

'Evans, Lily,' called out Dumbledore, the deputy headmaster at the time.

'See you later James.'

She'd left him to be sorted.

James didn't realise but Lily had loved him since the moment he'd been sorted into Gryffindor with her.

'Of course I remember. You were late for the train and I helped you on.'

Lily frowned, 'that was you?'

'Yeah. What are you talking about then?'

'Don't you remember, Bond, James Bond.'

'No.' he answered untruthfully.

Lily was astounded. But it didn't matter what it was that made him love her it was the fact that he did.

'We'd better get back, Sirius will be having withdrawal symptoms without you.'

James felt another pang, similar to the one he'd had when he'd thought about Remus, Sirius would be so disappointed. He remembered the day they had made up the rules of their new group, 'The Marauders'

'If we're serious about this we have to have some guidelines to follow.' Remus had said on the afternoon of the creation of the group.

'What kind of guidelines?' Sirius had asked.

'Well this might sound old fashioned but, no pranking, cursing that includes hexing or hurting girls. Slytherine or not, girls are untouchable to us.'

'You mean untouchable by our pranks right? Just our pranks?'

'Yuck, Sirius we've only been here a week!'

'I'm just getting ready for puberty, that's all!'

'I second your rule Remus and suggest another. We shall not subject any of our 'jokes' to fellow Gryfindors.'

'I second that Mr. Potter.' Sirius had replied, 'besides, if we need help who will we go too?'

'I have another rule, this one is more between the four of us, not the school.'

'Please proceed Remus!'

'I vote we are always truthful to each other, if to no teachers, girls, parentals or other people then too each other at all times.'

'What a simply smashing rule old Chum!'

'Yes you really are brilliant aren't you!'

What was Sirius do when he found out that the rules they lived by, all four of them, were being broken by one of them.

James thought for a moment, 'We never said anything about hurting someone emotionally. I will have to ask Moony about that.'

It was then that the bell rang and none other than FLOWER PLAN herself pulled James out of his daydream herself.

'Meet me at the Charms classroom at lunch.' She whispered to him.

Before he could reply she'd left with Hettie. He remembered his plan and realised he was supposed to be making Lily believe he liked her.

'This is going to be a cinch!' James thought.

Lily was busting, not in the bladder for but from keeping her secret a secret. She had to tell someone… even if it was someone James had told her specifically not too.

'Harriet! We've got History with Binn's next, lets skip it. What do you think?'

'Lily dear I've been waiting for you to say that since our first year. Are you feeling ok? What's wrong?'

'Nothing I just have something to tell you.'

'I smell gossip, let's go back to the dormitory.'

Lily had a feeling she'd picked the wrong person to tell.

James was worried. Lily and Hettie were not in class. Hettie was always skipping class, but he doubted if Lily had ever wagged in her life.

'What's wrong Prongs, you look worried?'

'I'm fine.'

'As long as she keeps her mouth shut!' he said silently.

Lily had long since told Harriet her story, it had been at least 2 minutes and she was still sitting there looking like a stunned mullet.

'Well?'

'What do you want me to say Lily? Because I'm speechless!'

'You could tell me what to wear on our first date?'

'Well now that you mention it I have been thinking about – you know – your outfit and I wa-'

'Harriet stop. You can't tell anybody any of this.' She raised her hand at Harriet's face, 'no not even Remus. James doesn't wasn't his friends to know about me. He didn't want me to tell you. But now I have and you can't tell anyone! The only reason I told you was because ….. well …. I've no idea what to do!'

Lily collapsed on her bed, 'one minute he's calling me a freak the next he confesses his love. What am I to do?'

'Calm down to start with! It's okay, it's not the end of the world believe it or not that James Potter has asked you out. You've wanted this for so long. Why are you worrying now. You've got him Lils, he's all yours.'

'Thanks Harriet. Don't call me Lils!' she added as she walked out the door.

The next few days in James' opinion were a nightmare, he went over the top in showing Lily how he 'felt' about her. Then to add to that he'd spent three extra days proving to the school that yes Lily Evans and James Potter were an item. He'd had trouble keeping this information from Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail. He couldn't prove it but her was sure that Hettie knew.

He'd avoided kissing her and going out with her at all costs. He didn't want to completely ruin his reputation, and he didn't want to ruin her frigid one either.

Finally the day had come.

Day 7

Around breakfast or dinner, publicly ditch her.

He'd decided to do it at dinner as everyone was walking out. The moment had finally arrived. He'd convince Remus, Peter and Sirius to go to bed early so he could make the breakup as loud as he wanted without worrying about them hearing.

Now all he had to do was wait for dinner to be over.

Lily had had a heavenly week. James had seemed to be flaunting her off, apart from the evil glares she was getting from some girls, she was also getting interested boys talking to her.

But she was loyal, James was whom she had wanted and James was who she had. She wasn't complaining and she certainly wasn't going to jeopardize their relationship.

They'd been going out a week tomorrow and just as James moved towards her she wondered how long his longest relationship had been.

'We need to talk.' He whispered in her ear. She blushed as his breath reached her neck, but nodded all the same. This was it, he was going to ask her out on a real date.

Harriet had organised her outfit for all occasions, there was a formal outfit a picnic outfit a dinner outfit and god know what else.

This was it. JAMES POTTER WAS AKING HER ON A REAL DATE.

This was it. He was breaking up with her. HE WOULD FINALLY BE FREE FROM LILY EVANS.
