It was love at first sight, James is convinced it was. That balmy September morning he was waiting early at the station and it was exactly 10:35:42 when he first saw his carrot headed beauty pushing a trolley almost as big as she was down platform 9 3/4. His eyes eagerly followed her as she weaved in and out of the crowd, taking in her shiny hair, dainty hands, and shocking tie dye scarf; she must be muggle born- who else would let their eleven year old out dressed like that?

James watched as she broke into a quick run, a grin lighting up the station…

And crashed straight into a very solid brick wall.

She was alright for a girl.

"Why can't you just grow up a bit?"

Lily looked him in the eyes. She was honestly confused, why would James deliberately shun basic responsibility for himself. Knowing when his next piece of homework is due, when he's out past curfew and could be punished for it, even when his family would be expecting a letter.

"Why should I Lily? You're grown up enough for the both of us. Why should I organise myself, when you organise me anyway?"

That had haunted Lily. She'd never imagine she could be making it worse; and why hadn't he mentioned it before? Right, that's it then, it'd have to stop. Lily would kick the habit of a lifetime and stop trying to help. Why should she care if he spent the rest of his life in detention? Or if his mother worried herself to death? No, that was mean, of course she would care if James' mother died, and it did matter if he ended up in detention every evening, (if only because it would reflect badly on Gryffindor).

How to do it then? How to make sure James would suffer the consequences of his actions without bankrupting Gryffindor of it's house points?

She looked across the Common room to see him among a crowd of people, hair covered in green goo. That was it! She would continue to remind him the evening before he absolutely had to do something, and if it wasn't already done she would prank him.

He'd soon spot the correlation.

A/n: Please review, I've had over 120 reads now and only 4 reviews (as of 19 June)- if it's truly awful I want to know!

On that note, a big thank you to Wake up, commando17, and especially Toonsta whose comments prompted this revision. If I ever get around to typing another one up (where's an extra hour when you need it?) it'll be dedicated to you.
