Lily Evens…….
Just her name sounded sweet. The most beautiful name he had ever heard. She was so lovely, but she was….. a Mudblood. According to his family, mudbloods were unworthy and were disgraceful. He stood up from the window seat and looked around his room. The walls were black just like the rest of his house with green and silver trimming. His comforter was emerald just like Lily's eyes, he thought. In his cabinets were foul things. Vials of blood, jars of dragon teeth, and music boxes full of charmed and cursed jewelry. His family was one of the richest family's in Britain. Well at least in the wizarding world. He could buy anything and everything he wanted with out even thinking about it. Yet the one thing his money could not buy was… Lily.

"Lily, hurry up! The train is going to leave in a minute!" yelled Lily's best friend Lorelai. Lily was running down the hallway trying to catch up with them. She almost rammed into Potter.
"Watch where you're going, Evans. We would not want to have a little accident would we?" said James Potter with a glint of trouble in his eye.
"Oy! Evans, move out of the way! O, and whatever James just said, well repeat that with me!" O just wonderfull the whole gang.
"You love me too? I mean that what James lovely Potter just said." She smiled in the way she did only around them. This was her last year at Hogwarts and she did not want the four blunder heads to mess it up.
" I did not know that I was loved by some many boys. I feel so privileged." "Wow Black….. I love you too." she said sarcastically. All the boys were star stuck. They had no idea what she was talking about. James had to retort thou.
"So Lily. Would you like to accompany me to our first Hogsmead trip next week?" Lily gave Potter a questioning look. "It would be my pleasure." finished James with a flowering bow. Lupin and Black started laughing.
"What ever gave you the idea that I would ever go out with you, you Prat! You are arrogant and conceded and most of all…. MENTAL!" Lily walked away looking back at Potter's stunned face. O well. He'll get over it. Its not like he ever means it. He has asked me out loads of times before. Its all a big joke to him. She never really understood why but…
" Nice going Lily. That was great. Not as big as our usual pranks but that was a good dis all the same." said Amy as Lily caught up with them. Amy and Lorelai were and forever will be her best friends. The three of them we like sisters. They fist meet on the Hogwarts train in their first year. They shared every thing now. Secrets and homework, to make-up and hairbrushes.
The first night she ever spent at Hogwarts, she was crying on her bed. James having embarrassed her at the platform felt that it was necessary to also publicly humiliated her in front of the whole school at the sorting ceremony. Lily drew the curtains up around her bed when she heard the door open. They came over to her bed and threw them open. Amy was the first to step forward.
"Hi, my name is Amy. I think it was really rotten of Potter to do such a thing to you, especially in front of the whole school. He is such an idiot. Why does he feel the need to torture innocent people that he hasn't even gotten the chance to know? I absolutely detest him." Lily was shocked. Nobody has ever been that straight forward with her. She wondered if she could trust these two girls. "We want to help you get revenge." Amy said with a wide evil grin on her face. "And I have some great ideas. The first one includes no magic. Not like we know any. Once we learn some, this will become war."
"Well I'm all in!" said Lily jumping up. They ran over to the desk that was in the corner of the room and started drawing up plans. This was excellent. She could not wait to get James back. What she did not know was that this fun game they would start to play would become much, much more. If she had known then about all th detentions they would receive, how many trips to the hospital wing, how many pranks and stupid hurtful word they would exchange, maybe they would have stopped there. The girls did not end up going to sleep that night. They did not only talk about Potter, but also talked about guys, makeup, gossip, and the latest fashion for robes and shoes.
Remembering the first time they met made Lily think about how, if it was not for Potter they would have never became friends. If none of the things Potter ever did to me, well did not happen we might have been friends. Or even more than that.

3 months after the train.
Lily, Amy, and Lorelai were running though the corridors trying to get to transfiguration on time. They could not be tardy for the first class of the semester. Lily hated being late. She was the top in her class. A perfectionist you might say. Lily turned a corner and looked over her shoulder talking to her friends.
"Hurry up or you will be late!" Just as Lily said this she crashed into someone. She hit the wall and her books that she was carrying went flying every where.
"Ouch." Said Lily rubbing her head.
"Need some help?" asked a familiar voice, although she could not put her tongue on who it was. He stuck his hand out waiting for her to grab on. As lily started to look up she was beginning to respond.
"Yes ple…. James? She asked while starring into his beautiful brown eyes. They sparkled as she said his name.
"What happened Lily? Are you alright? Who did this to you cause if was malf.." started James but Lily cut him off.
"I think I'm fine." Said Lily. She did not remember who crashed her into the wall but… wait, did Potter use her first name? She had never heard him do that before. It was a wired feeling. Not a bad feeling, just weird. She looked more at James not daring to take his eyes off of him. WOW. she thought to herself. He sure grew up over the summer. His hair.. She could run her hand threw it. His eyes were so bright…His lips….. Wow Lil what are you thinking? They look so soft. Just soft enough to kiss. 'Lil get a hold of your self girl!' He is such a gentlemen. A voice broke threw her thoughts.
"Lily, are you okay?" said James thoroughly concerned. Lily took his hand that was sill out in front of her. His skin was so soft. She felt and electric pulse serge threw her body as the reaction to him. She felt so faint. She started to fall backswords.
"Lily! Are….what…. Hold on Lily! Lorelai or Amy …. Do something!" Said James with a bit of panic hidden in his voice. James caught her around her waist . Lily felt so safe with his arms around her. She had no worries in the world. She was the only one who didn't at that second.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form afar his plan did not seem to be going well. He had to take the next step. He wasn't thinking about doing this yet but the circumstances called for it. James holding Lily, his Lily, like that was sickening. He rested against the wall. Why was he doing this? Lily dose not love me. So what's the point? To get her away from Potter. Potter always messed everything up for him. Why couldn't he just bet Potter at something for once? He would have to talk to Sulghorn about their next gathering. He would have to make sure Lily there. He would have to get Potter in trouble so he would not be able to make the next party. He was hopping he could pull this off. What would be a big enough prank to get potter detention for 2 weeks? He peaked around the corner to see James laying Lily down on the floor with his arm behind her head. Perfect.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lily it's going to be okay. Stay with me here." Lily looked up into James's eyes. She slowly closed her eyes. She then fell faint.
James was so worried about her. He could not think about what to do. He bent down and ran his fingers though her hair. "Don't worry Lily…..It's going to be okay."
He could not help but remember all those pranks she played on him. Not that he did not have pranks of his own. He laughed remembering their first ever prank. Even with all those pranks and hurtful words, they were flirting and working together. He would miss those old times but enjoy these new ones even better. He hoped things would go the way he wanted them to. He guessed he would just have to wait.
He smiled as he remembered the first day they met. It was, the train station, before they stepped on to platform 9 ¾. James met Lily even before he was introduced to Moony or Padfoot. A younger version of himself was waking threw a muggle turnstile, when he saw radiant red hair out of the corner of his eye. Two parents, apparently muggles were talking to the red hair girl who had lovely emerald eyes. He wondered….
"Dad I will meet you at the platform in a minute. Okay?" While James said this he tilted his head towards the redhead. His dad nodded and took his wife, Hannah to the platform barrier. James then walked toward the girl and whispered in her ear "Platform 9 ¾?" The girl spun around and was instantly taken with him. She nodded and gave a weak smile. James stuck out his hand waiting for her to take it. "I'm James Potter" he said
"Nice to meet you James." She said as she shook his hand. "My name is Lily."
" Lily that's a pretty name. Lily….."said James with a wondering tone in his voice.
"O, Lily, Lily Evans" He seemed nice enough but it was Lilys first day and she thought that he was just trying to help.
"Okay then, go up to the guy in the blue suit and tell him you are a witch and that you need to get to the platform. He is here to help muggles like your self, well like you family, your not really a muggle anymore, no that you ever were, you were just living that life style. Well anyway he is here to help us get on the platform." Said James with a innocent smile.
"So all I have to do is go up to him and tell him those things and he will help me onto the platform?" Lily was hoping he was telling the truth. This would be embarrassing if he's not.
"Of course!" said James "Now off you go!" he said while giving her a push forward.
Lily walked toward the man. James laughed to himself. This was going to be a good show.
