Meant to Be…

As hard as it was to start her homework Lily Evans needed to get a few things out. At a particular person. This person, however, was nowhere to be found and she didn't want to tell him exactly what she thought of him.

Sure the idiot had captured her fancy during their fifth year, but that didn't mean that she wanted him around her all the time. He was mean, arrogant, bossy, and more than a little like sin. She hated the man he had become. Hating the fact that she couldn't stop thinking about the wanker and everything that he'd said to her over the years. Flattery was a beginning conversation starter between them. After which she would shoot him down again. Over the years she'd seen girls think they could change him. Not likely. Over and over it had happened. Poor things. They didn't really think that they could change an idiot like Potter, did they?

But really! He was exasperating! She hated him. How he made her feel. Idiot! He had no idea that all the flattery and smiles he'd bestowed upon her over the years had made her smile later. So, when in seventh year, James Potter had changed. He'd changed for the better. It was an amazing thing.

She had sat in the head compartment waiting for the head boy. Her head snapped up when the door slide open. Remus Lupin walked in with his friends. "Lupin. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Just wandering in to see if you knew who the head boy was. It doesn't look like he's arrived yet."

"No idea. I'm hoping it's not-"

"Hello all! Ah. Wonderful! Lily. It's so smashing that you've been made head girl! Congratulation!"

"-Diggory. Dammit."

A grin spread across the faces of Sirius Black and James Potter. James turned to Amos. "Now Amos, you're not going to sit on your laurels and let Lily do all the work this year, are you? That wouldn't be doing your head boy duties."

A/N: I know this isn't long, but I had to get something out for those of you who still read this story. Thanks.
