AN: Not too many reviews too reply now but anyway, yes Al is a douche and Lily will be the worst character out of the entire lot just wait and see. Enjoy the story then and also I decided to go for 2000+ words per chapter since I get lazy and demotivated after writing that same chapter too long. More typos of chapter 2 will be fixed soon.

One more thing I have decided to introduce the first romantic interest but there really won't be any real romance for a long time now.

Chapter 2: James Potter

It has been 3 weeks since my 7th year begun, and in this 3 weeks I changed to someone nobody could recognize. I wasn't the party boy everyone knew. My best mates, Fred Wesley and Jack Woods had already given up on trying to figure what was wrong with me. However there was someone who just hadn't stopped yet.

And that someone was starring at me with a surprised expression. "Morning, Miss McLaggen." I said with a polite smile as I slide down the chair behind her at transfiguration class. She frowned as she slowly studies my appearance. "M-morning" she said.

I wouldn't admit it but Faith McLaggen was the most beautiful women I ever knew. Even back when I was a womanizing prat, I always knew that I wanted for more than just a one night stand. She had long, slightly curly auburn hair, gorgeous green eyes and a slightly tan skin. She was the only girl I could never get.

Thing is since my 5th year I have been asking her out with ridiculously cocky and dumb jokes that would put my granddad to shame. However because of this ridiculous will my dad left, I am forced to fight against my annoying snake of a brother and badger sister and give up on her.

Class went on as usual, I ignored the usual nudges from Fred and Jack who were seriously beginning to annoy me.

"Mr. Potter, I must say I am very pleased with your performance this year." Professor McGonagal said as she handed me my essay with a O written on it.

"10 points to gryffindor" she declared

"Thank you, professor."

"I am glad you're at least serious for your N.E.W.T, planning to be an auror."

I nodded, at least it wasn't a lie. I did want to be an auror.

"Well, you actually are serious this year." I turned around to face Faith who was smiling at me. Now that I think about it, if I keep speeding the rumor that I was just studying for N.E.W.T, it could create an image of false security for Albus and Lily.

"Well sort of" I paused for a second as I suddenly remembered she NEVER smiled or started a conversation with me before. "You actually said something without cursing about how you would kill me didn't you?"

Her smile faded but she still looked amused, "And you didn't try a stupid pick up line." I shook my head in embarrassment. "Ah, lets just forget all those things I ever said earlier". She laughed.

"Hey Jam- oh" I turned around trying to hide the anger I felt as I faced Fred who looked surprised. "For a second there I thought you were James Potter" He said with a weak laugh. I rolled my eyes, "I am you dolt." He smirked. "Yeah, no shit", Faith on the other hand got up, "Anyway Potter when are you having qudditch tryouts?"

Yeah I almost forgot about that and the fact that winning the quidditch cup gives us 150 points and also the fact that 2 members of the team left this year. "How about tomorrow?" I suggested even though I was the captain and I made the rules

"Why not today?" Fred suggested. "I mean tomorrow is Saturday, so today is perfect." Faith nodded. "Not today, I need to go the slugs club." I said as I referred to the annoying meeting held by Professor Slughorn.

"Who are you and what have you done with my cousin?" Fred said as I laughed however Faith didn't. "There is a reason behind it, isn't it? Why you changed so much this year." She said with a suspicious glare. I frowned, yeah like I could tell you.

"Not really, like I said I just want to do well in N.E.W.T" I said, Fred sighed as he walked away looking disappointed. I was about to join him until Faith grabbed by wrist and stopped me from moving, "I assure you Potter I will find out even if you don't tell me" she declared before she let go of my wrist and briskly walked passes

I gulped, did I just make her angry again?

Slughorn was the most disgusting professor ever. I don't care if he was amazing potion brewer or how he survived both the wizard wars, the thing is he openly plays favorites and that is the lowest a professor can go. Professor Longbottom's hatred of him was very justified. And even though I said all that I still can't believe I was actually going to one of his 'club meetings'.

I was in my very rarely worn tuxedo and also wore my black pair of oxford. Even my messy brown hair was combed neatly and apparently I wasn't the only one who thought this was out of character for me to do.

"Ah, James I so glad that you could finally attend at least one of my little meetings." old slughorn said as he gave a soft hug. He reeked of alcohol. Which surprised me, I always thought these club meetings involved tea and biscuits or something similar.

I smiled polity and after having a conversation I walked looking disgusted to the bar which praise Merlin the party had.

"Well hello there James, fancy seeing you here in a slug club meeting." I slowly turned in a irritated mood to face my dick of a brother who was smirking at me.

"Oh, hey Al, I guess you just have to try everything once." I said to which he raised his eye brow. "Really? What happened to I rather die than come here?" I cursed mentally at my little sister who was sitting on a chair behind me with a drink on her hand.

"Aha, yes it's a bit embarrassing but I was drunk on that occasion." I lied. Crap, were they working together? … Yeah like that could be possible.

Albus smirk widened as he leaned back on a pillar, "You know, I am surprised how the points are right now." Lily gulped down the remaining containment in his glass, "You mean how slytheirn are in 3rd place?" She said with a sadistic smile.

Albus laughed, "Now you do remember you have to add 150 to slytherin for the quidditch cup, 5 years running champs and all that"Lily's smirk died. I had to admit, Slytherin's team were made entirely by soon to be professional players, my prat of a brother played seeker and was good as Lily who thankful the only good player in hufflepuff. Besides him of course was a team Richard Zabini had spend 3 years building up. And the last time the slytherin actually lost a match was when Ted and Victoria played. However he was gone now and a little ray of hope had just emerged.

"Now Al, Zabini is gone you think results will be the same?" I said with a fake smile. "Of course, I have full faith in Scorpius's abilities and I am sure there are some fresh blood out there to apply for Richard's position."

Lily suddenly smirked at that comment, "What's so funny?" Al said as he glared at Lily who laughed as she skipped away before saying, "Nothing you're just too trusting, now excuse me got to send a letter."

Albus watched her step outside the door, "I don't like this" he said as he turned around to pour himself a drink. "Calm down you're overreacting" I said looking amused. Even though he was my enemy it was surprising to see Albus so worked up over anything.

I laughed and walked away to where the crowd was leaving a very frustrated and concerned brother muttering to himself.

Well the table was good as of now, points were reasonable enough. Gryffindor were at 80, Hufflepuff were at 90, Slytherin were at 75 and Ravenclaw were at 60.

Now if Albus was telling the truth he probably already found his little fresh blood already. My only concern was if I could actually win this time. Richard was actually the only slytherin I liked. He was a quidditch nut and valued fair play more than anything. He also was amazing at finding talent. However I knew even though he was gone, the challenge was hardly over.

It turned out luck was on my side during the tryouts. I was of course one of the chasers as I was captain. Alex King an American transfer student and also a last year team member returned to team in top form as a chaser as well and my final chaser was a boy named Eric knight a 5rd year who despite playing pretty well I hated because he was a cocky cunt. On the beaters were Fred and a new 6th year girl Liza Goldman who was damn good for a muggleborn and my keeper was Jack since he was pretty damn good and lastly my seeker was Faith.

I declared the teams and encouraged the player who didn't make it in the team to try again next year. I also congratulated the new members.

"Oh come on I knew it was going to me when I first saw the people applying" Eric bragged while Liza blushed.

I was beginning to regret my decision every passing second and I wasn't the only one.

"What's wrong with you?" Faith said as she rolled her eyes at him.

"What am I really that good that there is something wrong with me?" He said. Alex, Jack and Fred didn't try to hide their laughter.

I sighed as Faith's expression turned red like a tomato, a very attractive tomato if that was ever possible.

Liza on the other looked unsure of what to do and kept turning around seeing everyone's expression. Unlike humble naïve Liza, Eric just wasn't done, "I know I get that a lot, my dad was surprised I wasn't captain yet." This however changed the mode from amusement to a sort of anger and hatred.

King cleared his throat as he spoke, "You're going to regret this" he informed me. I sighed, why do I get to meet all the crazy folk?

"Alright, that's it let's wrap up with practice" I shouted nearly an hour later completely drenched in sweat. The other too were too tired to argue.

"Man, I am beat." Alex complained as they slowly walked towards the changing room.

"Totally mate, happens when you play quidditch again after an entire vacation." Jack said.

"Alright, boys we are leaving." Faith said with a playful smile with Liza behind her.

"Damn, you girls get ready fast. And how come you look as fresh as a flower though you were just sweating a while ago?" Fred said.

"It's a girl thing" she said.

"Better stop that 'girl thing' or else James is going to going to start having dream about you" Alex said.

Everyone turned around to face and true enough I admit I was starring at her, "I already did have dream about you" I said without thinking.

And then what followed was the most eerie silence I ever knew. I recovered first and started muttering random excused as I ran for the boys changing room as everyone burst out laughing and blushing Faith looking confused.

"James, I need to talk to you" Al said as he struggled to breath, well this is rich. Albus standing here outside my common room looking nervous and terrified and to top it all it was three am.

"About?" I said as I yawned. I wonder if it really was worth getting up and walked all the way here from my dorm.

"Lily" he said

"What about her?"

"Those letters-"

I sighed, "Look snake, I am tired and sleepy out of playing this good guy attitude all day along and I don't care what my annoying badger sister or snake brother wants, as far I care you can both go and kill yourself" I shouted at the top of my voice.

He snarled as he muttered "fine" before walking away. Good riddance I thought and turned around to make my way back to my dorm but unfortunately crashed into someone.

"Oh shit, I am sorry" I said as I struggled to help Faith on her feet she was gaping at me blankly.

"You heard it didn't you?" I said

She slowly nodded.

And here is chapter 3, like always reviews are welcome!
