Sadly I don't own any of these characters, all JK Rowling.

Authors note: Well guys this is my first story and I decided to do it about Lily and James because their the couple that I'm currently obsessed with! I'll be updating as quickly as possible so hang in there and feel free to review with any opinions I'm really not that fussed. Thanks

"Morning Evans" a husky voice breathed in Lily's ear as she sat at the Gryffindor table at breakfast waiting for her three best friends to stop being slobs and join her. She didn't need to turn around to know who had said it. James potter had been after Lily since third year and still hadn't given up even though they were now in sixth. She swivelled round in her seat to glare up at him.

"Potter" she snapped.

Despite her frosty welcome James just sent Lily his sexist smirk and sat down next to her much to Lily's disgust.

"I had a dream about you last night Evans, you were wearing my quidditch robes and nothing else."

"Oh how romantic" Lily snorted feeling her face heat up as she thought of the prat sitting next to her seeing her naked.

"Actually I found it rather lovely and by the way you look amazing when you blush" he said only making Lily's tomato like face darken even more. James laughed at this and stroked Lily's arm gently with his own. She nearly fell off the table and gave him a look that clearly meant she wished he'd drop dead, gathered her bag and books up and stormed out of the great hall her pony tail swishing madly behind her, leaving a disappointed James behind.

After Lily had stomped off James sat staring at his porridge moodily. He'd been planning his first encounter with Evans in their sixth year all through the holidays. He'd tried to talk to her on the train but she'd just ignored him while her bum chums - Hestia, Marlene and Alice – had followed her lead leaving him and his mates – Sirius, Remus and Peter – no option but to leave them alone. He wasn't the only one who'd regretted not being in the girls good books, Sirius had developed a lust for Hestia in the holidays and Remus had always had a soft spot for Marlene. Nothing however competed with the strength of his feelings for Lily, he literally worshipped the ground she walked on and one day she would be his. He'd already imagined her walking down the isle towards him many times and his heart gave a strange pang every time she saw her beautiful face in his head.

"Olright mate, weren't you suppose to be having breakfast with Evans?"

James jumped about ten feet in the air, quickly snapping out of his daydream to see his best friend Sirius grinning down on him, his black hair flopping in his grey eyes but still managing to look cool James noticed smiling; his hair was always a constant mess.

"Oh yeah I was but she ran off" James admitted sheepishly while Sirius sat next to him patting his back understandingly.

"Better look next time Prongs"

"Yeah" James replied smiling now, Sirius tried his best to be sympathetic towards his friends obsession and had even hounded Lily for him which led to him being stuck in the hospital wing for a week after a very nasty hex from her after he asked her what bra size she was; James had punched him for that one.

As Sirius started piling scrambled eggs on his plate they were joined by the last two members of the marauders: Remus Lupin who had dark blonde hair and kind brown eyes and Peter Pettigrew who was a small dumpling of a boy with slightly beady eyes, needless to say he had much more trouble with the ladies than the other three.

"Morning Prongs" Remus said smiling at him, James winked back and nodded in Peter direction who wasn't really paying attention as he stuffed his face with toast.

"So… We've just passed Lily and she seemed pretty pissed" Remus continued looking James straight in the eye. Remus was less understanding with James when he pestered Lily as the two of them had become quite close friends due to the fact that they were both prefects. James spooned some porridge into his mouth hastily so he didn't have to reply and just shrugged while Sirius tried to turn his laugh into a cough. Remus eventually just rolled his eyes and asked Peter to pass the bacon.

Lily marched angrily up the staircase to her dorm room and shoved open the door. Her three best friends were still snoozing happily, oblivious to Lily's frustration. Huffing she dived on Marlene's bed and almost smothered her, causing Marlene to jump up spluttering and fixing Lily with a mean look.

"What was that for Lils, I was having a good dream!" she said indignantly pushing her long brown hair out of her eyes.

"Well excuse me but Potter's just assaulted me in the dining hall!" Lily snapped back plumping Marlene's pillows back up for her as an apology while she watched her smiling slightly.

"Oh, I suppose that's a good enough reason to wake me up then." Marlene replied slightly sarcastic but knew not to push it further, when it came to Potter, Lily didn't have much control over her emotions.

"You know Lils, the sooner you give in and let him have his way with you; the better it'll be for all of us." Hestia called from behind her bed curtains. Lily sent her a nasty glare that she couldn't see and Marlene laughed pulling Lily's hair affectionately. Alice yawned then and poked her pixie like face through her curtains and smiled at Lily and Marlene.

"Morning ladies!" she called cheerily, Lily waved back half-heartedly and Marlene beamed back at her returning the greeting.

When Lily had finally waited for them all to get ready she agreed to go back to the dining hall with them. She'd really not eaten much before Potter had jumped her. When they entered they saw Satan and his marauder friends laughing at some joke the git had probably told and Lily steered her friends to the part of the table that was as far from them as possible. Hestia just sighed and looked longingly at Sirius; she'd fancied him since fourth year but so far he'd not taken any notice. Lily scowled at her black haired friend, not understanding how any one could fall for someone so like Potter. Marlene and Alice however accepted Lily's seating arrangements without any argument and after shovelling food down their necks for ten minutes or so they were joined by fellow Gryffindor and Alice's long-term boyfriend Frank Longbottom. The two of them were quite cute together Lily thought fondly as she nibbled on a practically large piece of bacon. Lily was desperate for a boyfriend as was Marlene and the two had spent long hours over the holiday cooking up plans to make sure they didn't end the year as alone as they had last year. Just as she had drifted into a happy day dream about some good looking boy with a six pack saving her from a terrible fate she felt Potter's hand massaging her shoulders.

"You seem tense Evans, must be all that sexual tension between us." He grinned as she turned round to give him her best basilisk glare. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see Hestia batting her eyes at an almost drooling Sirius which only worsened her mood. Just when she was about to raise her wand and stun Potter into next week Marlene grabbed her hand and shook her head. Sighing Lily got up for the second time today, pushed Potter's hands away from her, and stomped out of the Great Hall with Potter calling her name behind her.
