A/N:
Appologies in advance for dialouge that doesn't really match British vocab! And now the story, without further ado... (James, Sirius, Remus, Lily, Peter.)

Hey Evans...

What do you want, Potter?

A bit snippy, today, Evans?

Please just tell me what you want.

For you to go out with me.

No, I won't. Now, shut up and leave me alone.

Why not?

Because you asked me a million times this week.

I thought that would show you I really cared.

Well it doesn't. It proves that you like a challenge.

Which I do, but that's not why I'm asking you out.

Oh really?

Really.

Whatever. Well also, you ruffle your hair too much.

Would you go out with me if I stopped ruffling my hair? It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

No. And all the girls will stop staring at you all the time.

I don't want them to stare at me.


Well you show off enough to make it seem that way.

I show off for you.

Oh ... well... let me get back to my work!

No.

No?

'No' as in, 'No I will not let you get back to your work'.

Well I'm done sending notes. Bye Potter.

Ok I guess I'll just have to be heartbroken.

That's fine with me.

Hey! That hurt!

Oh get over yourself, Potter!

What?

I see you running your hands through your bloody hair!

I thought you were paying attention to the lesson.

I was.

Then how did you see me put my hands through my hair?

You're infront of me, you idiot.

No need for name calling, Lilyflower.

Where did you come up with that name anyway? It's so unoriginal!

You're like a flower - sweet and innocent.

Me? Innocent? Ha!

Prove that you're not.

I don't have to prove anything to you, Potter.

Then I shall call you Lilyflower for the rest of my days.

Oh you're hopeless.

Thankyou.

Class is over. Bye

Bye, Lillyflower.

Ugh!

Lily stood up and gathered her books, quills, and wand. She was not going to let him corner her again. She was not going to let him ask her out when he knew fully well that she was going to say no. Everytime he did, she got more and more annoyed at his arrogance. She was not going out with James Potter! There was something about the way he chased after her that made her believe he was only challenging himself and not asking her because he actually liked her. Even if he actually did like her, she still wouldn't like him back. Or would she? No, she hated him.

As she walked out of the classroom, James and Sirius followed right behind her. James looked longingly at Lily and the girls that were watching looked jealously at her. How could he like such a girl, that did not appreciate him? The majority of Hogwart's female population was in love with James. He was handsome, sleek and smooth. They all loved him but never understood how Lily, the one girl James truly fancied, did not even bat an eye his way.

"How can you not love him, Lily?" asked a girl in her year.

"How can you love him?" Lily answered.

"Because he's perfect." she drooled.

"Things are not always as they seem, Jodie."

"But you have the chance to love him and have his love returned. Why don't you just take that chance?"

"Because James Potter is not worth the pain."

She promptly turned on her heel and walked away from the group of whispering girls that were probably talking about how dumb she was for not loving Potter. There was something about him that made every girl in Hogwarts turn into drooling zombies. But not Lily. She was not falling for his act of innocence or his ruffled hair. Maybe if he wasn't so arrogant or annoying or .. if he didn't think she should automatically love him, then maybe she would think he was attractive. But she couldn't think he was attractive because she hated him. She hated him for being so unbelievably thick and she hated him for having every girl in the school drool over him. She hated him so much that it was unnerving.

Lily was trying her hardest to concentrate on the Potions proffessor, but the more she tried, the harder James tried to get her attention. The potion she was making was one of the most difficult she had ever attempted. She could not miss one ingredient or the whole potion would be wrong. He kept shoving the notebook at her every few seconds while she was making her potion so she finally gave up and looked down at the notes.

Hi Evans!

Evans, don't ignore me.

Please?

Oh give it up. She's not going to answer you.

How do you know?

Because you're too desperate and she's not.

I am not desperate.

Yes you are.

No I am not.

Well Lily definately isn't.

I appreciate that Sirius.

So you'll talk to him and not me?

I guess so.

She likes me better than you.

Ha...If you say so.

Well do you?

No she does not!

Well actually Potter, Sirius doesn't ask me out every five minutes. And I can speak for myself!

And she calls me Sirius and you Potter.

Well she still subconsciously loves me. She just doesn't know it yet.

What a big word, Potter. I didn't know you knew words that big.

You're so mean, Lilyflower.

Is our potion supposed to be dark green?

Umm it's supposed to be a light shade of green.

Like your eyes, Lily.

Well dark green is close enough.

Dark green is closer than mine!

Yes dark green is close to light green. You probably stirred wrong or something.

Am I being ignored?

Yes.

Yes.

Well fine. Lilyflower you've turned my best mate against me.

I'm just good like that.

HaHa... keep telling yourself that.

My potion is blue.

You've never been good at potions have you?

No, he's horrible.

Thanks.

No problem.

Well if you don't mind, I'm leaving now.

Bye Lilyflower.

Bye Lily.

Bye Sirius. Bye Potter

Sirius? Potter? How come I can't be James?


She didn't even attempt to answer the question. She had never realized she called him Potter and didn't call Sirius 'Black'. She guessed that maybe she didn't hate Sirius so it was easier to call him by his first name. She flasked a bottle of the potion and handed it to the professor, and then turned around and cleaned up the mess with a flick of her wand. She sat neatly waiting for class to be dismissed and saw that James was quickly trying to finish his potion and Sirius was leaning easily back in his chair. He was waiting just like Lily was and she couldn't help but think he was a bit attractive, the way that his hair fell into his eyes. But she didn't fancy Sirius. It was possible to just think he was cute and not actually love him. She quickly wrote a note to him and hoped they would have time to continue before class was excused.

Hey Sirius, do you think it's possible to think someone's good looking and not fancy them?

Yeah, why?

Just wondering.

Are you thinking about James?

Ew! No!

Well I'm sure he's thinking about you

He's working on his potion.

He's still thinking about you.

Who do you fancy, Sirius?

I don't know.

Really? Or are you just not telling me?

I don't think I fancy anyone because all the girls around here just like me because I'm good looking. Not that there's a problem with that.

Haha...Well, I'm not a zombie.

I've figured that out, Lily. You're different than everyone else.

In a good or bad way?

Definately a good way.

Thanks.

No problem. Now I have to ask, why don't you like James?

Because.. I don't know why. He's too arrogant and he thinks that I should automatically love him. And he never has explained why he loves me.

Well ask him.

I don't want to.

You're stubborn Lily.

So are you.

This is true.

Well class is excused. Bye Sirius

Bye Lily.
