AN: Oh and I forgot to say that all these characters except the ones you don't know are J. K Rowlings.


The same Lily Evans who was in James Potters head at that very moment, was heading down the train, her arm full of food from the food trolley. Having been forced to follow the same diet as her anorexic sister who wanted to be even skinnier, Lily had forgotten what junk food even looked like. Needless to say, the diet had had some use for Lily as she had finally managed to lose the extra puppy fat which she had had so that she now had a perfect figure. Her friends had always told her she was pretty and she had thought that if James Potter, the hottest most popular guy in school like her then she had to be doing something right, but now she thought she looked much better. And indeed all the guys who saw her walking down the train, definitely agreed with her. Lily had turned from pretty into stunning. But enough about looks. They aren't everything in life...right??

Anyway, like I was explaining, Lily was heading to her compartment when suddenly a door burst open to her right and a body hurtled into her, making her drop all her food.

"What the hell?" Lily yelled. She looked down to see Severus Snape at her feet. "What-" Lily started before another body came hurtling out of the same compartment doors. Once again, Lily looked down at her feet and saw that Lucius Malfoy had now joined Severus on the floor. Realising that only two people could be responsible for this Lily yelled, "POTTER!!! BLACK!!!! GET YOUR SORRY ASSES OUT HERE!!!"

Sure enough, a few seconds of hushed whispering later, and two boys came out of the compartment.

"Well somebody grew up over the summer?" Sirius said, looking Lily up and down.

James looked at Lily for a minute and then suddenly said, "Wassup Evans?"

"WASSUP? WASSUP??? ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME? YOU'RE NOT EVEN AT SCHOOL AND YOU'RE ALREADY CAUSING TROUBLE! WASSUP DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COVER IT?" Lily yelled, causing everyone who had previously been in a compartment hastily run for cover. Lily's temper was almost a legend at Hogwarts and everyone knew that it was something to be avoided. All except the Marauders who had by now become used to Lily's yelling at them.

"Look Evans, we were defending your honour!" James protested. "Those jerks called you a Mudblood and we couldn't let them get away with that!"

"Oh why thank you James for coming to my rescue. For a moment there I thought I was in serious trouble but now that I know James freakin Potter is always on hand to save me I feel so much better!" Lily sarcastically said to him.

"Well we're sorry for sticking up for you then!" James shouted back. "Next time we'll make sure we look the other way when we hear you being called a Mudblood!"

"Fine with me Potter! It's not like I ever asked for your help anyway is it?" Lily shouted back.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

There was silence as the two of them panted heavily from so much shouting, and for a moment, as lily stared into James' mesmerizing brown eyes, she thought she detected a flicker of hurt pass through them, but dismissed the thought almost as soon as it had crossed her mind. James Potter hurt by what she had said? Impossible! Potter wasn't able to feel emotions like normal people. All he cared about were his looks and reputation at Hogwarts.

Without a backward glance Lily stormed off back the way she had just come.

"How long do you think it'll take for her to realise that she's going in the wrong direction and has left all her food behind?" Sirius asked.

"I give it a minute," James answered, smiling when sure enough, a minute later, a small red-head charged past them muttering 'Accio food' and heading off to her own compartment. Laughing, Sirius and James re-entered their own compartment to join their friends.

Lily entered the compartment where her two friends were, still simmering with anger at what had just happened. As the compartment door opened and her two friends, Mandy and Sarah, saw her they immediately recognised the signs of a James and Lily encounter. Amused, they both looked at Lily as she threw her slightly squished food from where Malfoy had landed in it, and sat down, arms crossed and frowning heavily.

"Lily you've just gotten on the train and already you've had a fight with Potter. Can't you just forgive him for what happened in second year and forget about it already?" Mandy asked, not even trying to hide her exasperation at Lily. Mandy was the kind of girl who said what she was thinking out loud, whether or not she had thought it through. Sarah however was more sensible and was the peace-maker between the other two when Lily's temper or Mandy's big mouth caused an argument.

Lily scowled at Mandy. "I will not forgive him for that! I nearly drowned in the Great Lake because of him!"

"Lily it wasn't really his fault that you nearly die-"

"Oh really? Then who was it that decided that pushing me into the Great Lake would be fun?" Lily demanded, interrupting Sarah.

"Well..."

"In the middle of winter when the Great Lake was covered with ice," Lily interrupted again.

"He didn't know the ice would break Lil-" Mandy tried to explain.

"Well it did! And he was the one that pushed me onto the ice in the first place! I was in the hospital wing for 2 weeks!! And you try and tell me that its not his fault and that I shouldn't be angry at him?" Lily demanded.

"Lily, I'm not forgiving his actions. I admit he was really stupid to push you but he was miserable the entire time you were in the hospital wing! He apologised to you so can't you just forgive him? It's been over 4 years," Mandy asked, knowing that until Lily got to know James better she would never forgive him.

"But it's not just what happened in 2nd year is it? Ever since first year he has been tormenting me and provoking me. Well not anymore. I think that it's time that James Potter got his comeuppance!" Lily's eyes glittered dangerously as she said this.

"What are you planning Lily?" Sarah asked carefully.

"I'm going to break James Potter. And I'm going to enjoy doing it." Lily said, smiling a little evilly. "Ok that did not sound as dirty in my head."
