A/N: Companion to Lily Evans Personal Private Diary. Dedicated to Dobbledore-97, who gave me the idea.

Hello. Right now I loathe and despise you with a passion but maybe that will fade away.
Maybe.
Why do I loathe and despise you? Because you're a homework assignment that's going to last the entire year. Every 6th year is required to write at least a thousand words a week.
Were we given a reason why? No.
It's not even for a particular class! The heads off the class are just going to do some charm each month so that it shows how many word were written. They aren't going to read it because then they think it'll encourage us to write more.
And it says Diary on the front. Diary sounds so…ten year old girl.
Tomorrow I'm going back to Hogwarts and hopefully will find out this was all just a big joke.
September 1st
I'm bored stiff and my parents say that we can't leave yet so I figured if I wrote a thousand words quickly I'd have more time for quidditch.
Only know I can't think of anything to say. Dang it.
September 1st -later
Mooney told us we should all write in our journals before going to bed. I think Mooney and I are the only one's actually doing it. Padfoot is already snoring and Wormtail is probably just drawing pictures.
Anyhow this was actually a rather eventful day.
So once I got to the train I said by to mum and dad (mum was blubbering as usual), put my stuff away and said hi to some people and all that stuff.
Then I had to go and find the other Marauders. Mooney and Wormtail were sitting with the fifth year Gryffindor girls.
As soon as I opened the door I was attacked by Tanya Miller. She practically tackled me to the floor.
One of the other girls was Cassie Shields. I think Mooney's got a thing for her; he was staring at her half the ride.
Then there's Lisa O'Donnell. She's nice. Pretty too. Not much else to say about her.
I knew Mandy Kishi because she's on the quidditch team. She's another chaser and she's pretty cool.
Last was Lily Evans. Last year she hexed Regulus Black into impersonating a chicken so I greatly admire her pranking abilities. Besides that I had never really heard of her.
Well, I've heard Regulus moan and complain to Sirius about some 'muggle-born' red-head that's always 'annoying' him. Now I'm assuming it's her.
It's weird I've never noticed her. She's real pretty. Has red hair and these really cool green eyes. Their like my mum's emerald earrings.
Woah, I just wrote… hang on a second; forty something words about Evans. You'd think I liked her or something. I don't like her; I just thought she was pretty.
Evans totally flipped out at Wormtail. Last year he told us this story about the girl who tutored him (I didn't know it was Evans) she had bit her hand while practicing kissing.
Padfoot relived the story and Evans freaked and hexed Wormtail. It was just a simple counter-curse away but Wormtail wants revenge so tomorrow we're going to slip something in her drink.
I'm going to bed.
September 2nd
Padfoot asked me why I'm bothering writing in this. I told him that if I get good grades then I'll have a better chance to be quidditch captain next year. Padfoot said that's retarded and that I'll make captain anyway so why am I bothering to a girl assignment like this.
But I'm not offended. He's in a bad mood because we had a run-in with his cousins and Narcissa took away fifty points from Gryffindor.
Why Dumbledore would make that bitch Head Girl I'll never know.
Everything went according to plan concerning Lily Evans. We slipped this powder into her drink that will make her grow scales.
To slip it into her drink we went to her part of the table and pretended to be all buddy-buddy with her. We then bombarded her with stupid questions that came so fast she couldn't answer any of them and was so distracted Padfoot could slip the powder in her pumpkin juice without her noticing.
Actually she did answer one of the questions. I asked if she had a boyfriend (not that I care) and she said no. It's strange, you'd think someone as pretty as her would have guys panting after her everywhere.
While Padfoot put the powder in I put my arm around her shoulders to try to distract her even more. I kinda wanted to touch her hair. Does that make me sound like a pervert? I'm not! It was just a…distraction.
Well, anyway. It worked because after dinner Evans hunted us down and threatened to curse us.
HA! After we politely pointed out the odds were slightly in I think she was going to back down.
Sadly however we didn't get the pleasure of hearing her surrender because Narcissa and Bellatrix had to show their ugly heads. Andromeda was with them too but unlike her sisters she's cool.
Padfoot insulted them a little too far apparently because Narcissa took away fifty points from Gryffindor.
Hate her.
Anyway I invited Evans to walk back to the commons with us and now she's safely out of Slytherins way (Narcissa and Bellatrix hadn't noticed us right away and seemed to be planning on hexing her, I left that part out) and so are we.
I need to do homework. Chow.
by the way, if I'm ever quoting a Slytherin, which I might, when their words are in marks that means I'm editing their filthy language. And now I leave you, homework is calling.
September 3rd
Just writing quickly to let you know that I have now made you manlier. I have charmed the front so that know it's scarlet with the gold lion and it says James Potter's JOURNAL. Now you're not some sissy diary.
And I decided to write a delayed warning if anyone ever reads this.
KEEP YOU BLOODY NOSE OUT OF THIS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO MAKE YOU LOOK EVEN WORSE THAN SNIVELLUS!
A/N: Wow, this was actually pretty fun to write. I liked writing things from James's POV. I couldn't really see James keeping a journal on his own so I decided to make this an assignment all the 6th years had to do. These chapters will be a lot shorter than Lily's but James will gradually write more later.
REVIEWS MAKE MY DAY! THANKS FOR READING!
