Hey, guys! This is my 3rd story. I actually intended for this to be a one-shot but a friend of mine suggested to make it a few chapters long. Anywayz, this is my first L/J fic so go easy on me.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter, J.K. does. If I did, then Harry & Hermione would have ended up with each other a long time ago and Sirius Black would not have died. I would also have written a book on the Marauder's time. Too bad I don't own it.

"THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" This scream echoed throughout the castle. Every student, teacher, ghost and painting knew what was happening for they had heard this student's voice before. They knew it all too well for they were quite used to her yelling at a certain raven-haired boy. Yet something was different. This time the voice seemed to be even more furious and livid than the previous times and it came from the Gryffindor Tower.
This scream struck fear in the hearts of the people in the castle. Even the old caretaker, Butch was afraid, for this scream only meant one thing: Lily Evans has finally snapped and whoever made her angry, they already have a feeling who it was, is not going to live very long.
"JAMES TRISTAN POTTER!" They knew it, who else could unleash the redhead's wrath? James Potter is so dead.

You may wonder what happened to make Lily Evans, 6th year prefect, brightest witch in her year and long time obsession of James Potter to snap. Let's go back to a few hours ago….
Lily sighed as she headed for Charms. Today had not been her lucky day. She had slept in making her miss breakfast and late for Transfiguration. Professor McGonagall was not very pleased. This class was not her strongest point and it definitely showed when they had to turn a rat into a stuffed animal. She was partners with one of the Marauders, Sirius Black. 'Why couldn't I be paired with Remus?' she thought, 'Oh well, at least it isn't Potter.' Speaking of the devil, James Potter, who was paired up with another Marauder, Remus Lupin, sat next to them. After smirking at her (he knew she was no good at Transfiguration), he waved his wand at the rat and in it's place was a cute stuffed rabbit. Lily, who was too distracted & too hungry, waved her wand carelessly and surprisingly, ended up with a cute teddy bear. She wasn't the only one shocked. James' and Sirius' mouths actually reached the floor. They couldn't believe that she did it but then something was wrong. Teddy bears weren't supposed to move. They weren't supposed to have sharp teeth either. And they certainly were not supposed to attack "handsome" Gryffindor students. "OUCH! GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!" was the shout of Sirius Black as Lily's creation decided to place his teeth on her unsuspecting partner. Let's just say that Potter's laughter was the least of her problems after that.
When she was in Potions, Peter accidentally put porcupine quills in her potion causing it to explode. Luckily, Professor Slughorn did not take away any points from her house.
Many things happened to her today like being pranked by the Marauders and of course, being asked out by James Potter for what seems like the thousandth time. She also had a lot of accidents like tripping on the stairs and bumping into the toe-rag people call James Potter. Now, all she wanted to do was go to her last class, Charms and get this day over with.

After class……..
Looks like the fates aren't done with her yet. As she was writing an essay, James Potter suddenly popped in her head. You may be surprised how a girl who supposedly despises the egotistical prat, can find herself thinking of him in a non violent or negative way.
She may not admit it to anyone but she finds herself falling for the raven-haired teen. Yes, as impossible as it may sound, Lily Evans is in love with James Bloody Potter. She couldn't understand it herself. She hated him. She couldn't stand his pranks (though some of them were pretty funny), the way he keeps on showing off, the way he thinks of himself as God's gift to women (A/N: Personally, I wouldn't blame him as girls seem to swoon at the mere sight of him) and of course the way he keeps on asking her out in the most ridiculous fashion. I mean, who wouldn't get mad at someone who asks you out at the top of their lungs. Who would like a pig-headed jerk like him who just happened to have the most gorgeous smile you have ever seen and deep, hazel eyes that when you stare at it long enough you can see his very soul? Not to mention, having a very well toned body from all that Quidditch training (A/N:wink, wink) and dark, raven hair that you would just love to run your fingers at. Aww heck, alright already! She's in love with James Potter and she can't help it.
It may be confusing as to why she would fall for him when he keeps on annoying her. Well, it may be because of the little moments they have together (A/N:Not those kind of moments! For those with perverted minds). There are actually times when the two of them would have an almost civil conversation. Sometimes, she'd see a different Potter than the one who'd constantly annoy her and be such a jerk. During those times, she could see why the other Marauder's were so close. He was loyal, brave, kind and so much more. He even tries to get her to relax and just stop worrying about the exams.
There was one time, when her grandmother died, she was bawling her eyes out in the common room while everyone was at class. James came to her and let her cry on his shoulder. She ended up telling him how close she was to her grandma and that she was the only one who truly defended her from Petunia's harsh insults. He just listened to everything she said and told her that she was lucky to have such a wicked grandma. She smiled at him. It was the first time she gave him one of her true smiles and she could see in his eyes that he was elated to be the cause of it.
There were also times when he would invite her to the kitchens (A/N:more like drag her) when she was studying too much. He said that reading that many books in one day is extremely unhealthy. She just laughed and let him drag her to the kitchens where they would joke around.
Yes, through the years, she and Potter have reached the point between enemies and friends. He preferred to call themselves as frienemies. He still pranks her and she still yells at him but this time they can have civil conversations whenever they want to. The problem is that the more time they spend together, the more she realizes that she was falling for him. She tried to stop herself, knowing that he was probably over her, but she failed miserably. He would sometimes flirt with her and ask her out but she would always refuse knowing that it was just a joke. Now, she tries to act as if nothing has changed between them and he just keeps on torturing her with his pranks and flirting and of course, with his fan club glaring at her whenever he wasn't looking. Honestly, one of these days she's going to snap and it would be all his fault (A/N:most likely hehehe).
