Author's Note: Well, here's the next chapter. I do know that this takes place in the 1980s and the Notebook didn't come out until around 2004. If you need a reason why Sirius saw it, let's just say Lily loves movies so much she went into the future so she could get more and the Notebook was one of them. Sorry that this chapter shorter, but I'm going away soon and wanted to make sure I finished it before that time.

Well, Lily and James now you will never forget your first meeting. Now, I will make sure you will never forget your first argument. Of course, you may say, what about the fight on the train? However, I am talking about the fights in the Gryffindor common room that became a legend. The scary ones where Lily would scream and hex James within an inch of his life. However, we Gryffindors soon didn't even hear the fights, we got so used to them. It's like if you have an upstairs neighbor that spends his days running around and eventually you don't even hear it. Then your best friend comes over, thinks the house is falling down and you don't know what they are talking about (A/N: I write from experience) In fact, the fights were so scary that James would force Lily to get mad at him on the first day of school so all the new first-years would be scared. (But you didn't need to know that, Lily) So here is the First Fight!
First Fight
Well, as you might have guessed from the chapter before, I am not perfect Slytherin material. However, no one would have guessed how bad of a Slytherin I was until I got Sorted. I became a Gryffindor.
I was happy to have escaped Slytherin and my Pureblood manic cousins. I knew though, that there would be consequences. Blacks had been in Slytherin for centuries. Sometimes one did get into Ravenclaw, and that was somewhat acceptable. There had been a Hufflepuff once, and that one was very much looked down upon. A Black Gryffindor, though, was unheard of. You probably don't want a history of the Black family on your minds when you can only remember a few things, so I'll stop there.
The Gryffindors didn't like me too much. A Black in their open-minded house? A disgrace!
The first night at Hogwarts, I sat in the common room in front of the fire, ignoring, or at least trying to, the glares of my new housemates. After a while, a new first-year, Remus Lupin, came over to talk to me.
"Um, hi."
"Hey," I said, thankful somebody was talking to me.
"So, you're a Gryffindor, huh?"
"Yeah, that's why I'm sitting here." Crap, why must I always be so sarcastic? Now he'll hate me.
"People are definitely surprised."
"Well, I'm glad. I always hated my family, with their stupid Pureblood manicness. I'm so glad to be rid of them." Please, please believe me.
Remus smiled. "I'm happy you feel that way. I'm Remus Lupin, by the way. I guess we'll be rooming together?"
I grinned, feeling like maybe my time in Gryffindor wouldn't be so bad.
"Hey Remus." James Potter had just come up behind us.
"Oh, hi, James," Remus said.
"What's up?" Apparently James hadn't spotted me yet. Maybe I could, um, let's see, sneak away?
"I was just talking to Sirius here."
He saw me.
"Black."
"Hello, Potter."
"Fancy seeing you here in this house. Too bad you won't be able to torture as many Muggle-borns since your whole house will rise against you. You'll have to be more, shall we say, secretive."
I stared at him. I had hoped that maybe, just maybe James would forgive me.
"What did you just say!" No, I did not suddenly lash out on James. That was Lily.
"The truth." James stared at Lily challengingly.
"How is that the truth? He obviously is since the Sorting Hat put him in Gryffindor and not Slytherin."
"He probably bribed the Hat so he could spy on us."
"The Hat is a sacred magical object from the time of the Founders. I highly doubt it would give into a bribe or make a mistake." Lily said scornfully.
Keep in mind that Lily and James are both yelling, but I hate writing in all capitals and it would probably hard to read so just pretend it is.
"Then maybe it made a mistake. And why are you sticking up for him anyways? Remember what he did to you on the platform?"
"He did nothing." James snorted. "It was his mother. And he said SORRY."
By this time a crowd of people had gathered around, from all the years. When Lily said that I had apologized, they looked surprised and a little friendlier.
"He didn't mean it. And he could have stopped his mother."
"Really? Would you yell at your mother in crowded train station?"
"That's beside the point."
"Actually, its not. It has everything to do with it."
"She's right," pointed out Rebecca Stearns, a well-respected sixth year prefect. Some in the common room nodded while others looked like they agreed with James. Actually most of them were on James' side because they didn't want me in their house either.
Lily flashed Rebecca a small grin of thanks.
"See?"
Lily was quite a sight to see. Being a redhead her face looked like a large tomato with flames coming out of it. Angry Lily's eyes flashed menacingly. Normally, they danced cheerfully ready to smile at you. Now, they looked like emerald gems ready to slice you in half.
"Well, I believe the Sorting Hat made a mistake," James said coolly.
"I said before that I didn't think the Sorting Hat could make a mistake. I'm afraid I'll have to change my mind now."
James grinned. He thought he'd won. I got a sinking sensation in my gut. Lily had stuck up for me, twice, and now she was giving in to James?
"Yes," she said. "You belong in Slytherin."
The ultimate insult to a Potter especially one with such a big ego, like James. A pure Gryffindor Potter being told he was a Slytherin? Everyone was shocked.
"You didn't," James was in total complete shock. "No you couldn't have. I'm a Potter. I'm so un-Slytherinly."
"I disagree." Lily wasn't yelling anymore. She looked satisfied with herself. James on the other hand completely bewildered. Everyone waited to see what he would do. Slowly he drew out his wand.
"Bad choice, Potter."
Lily already had her wand out.
"Colorificus." A multi-colored light shot out of her wand changing James' face into every color imaginable.
All of the Gryffindors looked shocked. Lily had done a pretty good job of the spell, especially for a Muggle-born on her very first day. The jinx was supposed to make his entire body flash colors but a multi-colored face was pretty good. I later learned that she had bought Curses and Counter-curses: Bewitch your Friends, Befuddle Your Enemies with the Latest Revenges: Hair Loss, Jelly-Legs Tongue-Tying and Much, Much More by Professor Vindicutus Viridian to learn how to curse her sister.
James didn't realize what happened and looked pretty confused at the laughter until someone handed him a mirror. He gasped.
"You wait, Evans. You wait."
He ran up the steps to the boys dormitory and the crowd around me, Lily and Remus slowly disappeared.
"Nice jinx," Remus said. "I'm Remus Lupin by the way."
"Lily Evans."
"Well I should probably assist him in removing the spell," Remus said leaving me and Lily alone.
"Thanks." I said.
Well now you will never forget your first huge fight, my dear friends:)
