Chapter 1-Flirting on board the Hogwarts Express

Lily Evans stepped confidently onto Platform Nine and three quarters. She was a beautiful girl of 17, with flawless ivory skin, dark red, glossy hair (which reached halfway down her back)and bewitching, almond shaped, emerald eyes. She also had a perfect figure. However, Lily was far from perfect. She had a nasty temper, which sometimes got her into trouble. She was prone to reacting without thinking, although this year, she had decided to try to remedy this.

She would try, for example, not to bite James Potter's head off every time he came within snapping distance of her, although, over the summer she had been having weird dreams concerning him. She would try. James Potter was one of the Marauders, a group of boys, who had decided that it was their duty to cause havoc. The other Marauders were Sirius Black, in some girls' opinion, the sexiest boy in the school, Remus Lupin, the 'good boy' of the group, and Peter Pettigrew, the wimp who tagged along, and was picked on by Sirius and James. Lily had to admit that James was very good looking. He had a great body from playing so much Quidditch. He had a handsome face, with messy black hair, and gorgeous hazel eyes, he did, however, wear glasses. These eyes were the first things that Lily saw when she arrived on the Platform.

"God!" she thought "He's so cute" she mentally battered herself over the head "No Lily, he is NOT cute, you cannot like HIM, he is always misbehaving and I am Head Girl this year." she shoved any 'James' thoughts out of her head and said curtly,

"Potter"

"Evans," he replied with a smirk (Lily inwardly melted, slapped herself, and turned to the nasty side of her, to think up some insult) "Did you have a good summer?" James continued. He was being surprisingly mature in Lily's opinion. Had he changed? Lily inwardly punched herself again, the part of her that liked James was getting very battered.

"Yes actually," said Lily quickly "I got Head Girl, so now I can actually get you in MORE trouble, for all your pranks. Hah!"

James briefly looked shocked for some reason, then he snapped back to reality "I wouldn't be so sure Lily." he smirked.

"Oh yeah? And why might that be?"

"I'm not telling you!" James laughed at her indignant face, then ran away from her at top speed.

Lily dumped her bags onto her long suffering best friend, Mya Klinton, and chased after him. Mya sighed and heaved Lily's luggage towards the train.

Mya was a very attractive girl. She had long, dark brown hair, that was almost always pulled into a loose, messy bun with ribbons twined into it. She had massive, very dark blue eyes, with glinted with mischief and seemed to visibly grow lighter and darker when she was happy or sad. She had high cheekbones and a lovely face. She was petite and slender, like Lily.

She loved pranking almost as much as the Marauders. No guesses for why she was going out with one of their ringleaders, aka Hogwarts' most wanted guys. Sirius Black. He had incredible, swirling silver eyes and longish black hair. He was a mischievous character, but could be quite the ladies' man! When he was with James and the other Marauders, he was almost constantly hyperactive. He never seemed to run out of energy.

Lily caught up with James and shoved him against the wall, he didn't resist.

"Why would that be then? Potter?" she was breathing hard from the close proximity, as was James. His breath was hot on her face, she found herself leaning forward towards him...

Then the whistle blew and they jerked apart, running towards the train as fast as they could, and leaping on at the last minute. James grabbed Lily's hand and jumped onto the train, pulling her against him, and shutting the door. Lily looked down at their intertwined hands. What had just happened? Why did holding hands with him and being so close to him, suddenly feel so good? She blushed scarlet and gently pulled her hand out of his. She caught his eyes with hers. They found themselves staring at each other, their fingertips just touching. Suddenly the train jolted and she was flung straight against his chest. She was almost electrified by the feeling that she got when she touched him. In her mind she was in turmoil.

"I can't like HIM!" she thought desperately, but the truth was zoning in on her. She had a massive crush on James Potter. In her head she could see herself falling into a ravine and screaming "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"Ok," Lily said "Let's find Sirius and Mya, they'll be here somewhere"

"Right, they sometimes flirt together so bad that I want to punch them though. Would you mind if I did?" asked James with mock sincerity. Lily laughed,

"No, you can hit them if they start that. Do you remember on the way home last year? Dear god! It was sickening!" she giggled "Only, I remember, I wasn't that happy at the time..." her voice trailed off,

"Yeah, we weren't talking were we?" James said, looking crestfallen.

There was an awkward silence as they trudged down the carriage, glancing into compartments until,

"Ah," said Lily, as though she had just found a problem, James looked into the compartment that she had stopped at. Mya was backed up against the wall, being snogged by Sirius as if there was no tomorrow.

"Oh dear," said James in an amused voice, "Maybe we should interrupt!" he slid open the compartment door and announced loudly, "Get a room you two!" Mya and Sirius broke apart looking scandalised.

"Prongs do you mind?" said Sirius in a breathless voice "Couldn't you and Lilyflower TELL that this compartment was occupied?"

"No, actually, it looked like our two best friends were in here, so we dumbly assumed we would be welcome" said James in a mock hurt voice, he pouted and Lily's heart rate quickened. Once again, she thumped her inner self, that poor little voice in her head was having a hard day! "I have to go to the toilet," said James and exited the compartment with an odd expression on his face. Lily wondered what was making him think so hard.

After ten minutes Lily couldn't bear Mya and Sirius' flirting any longer, and James wasn't back yet, she assumed he had found Remus or Peter. "I'm going to the Heads' compartment, I need to find out who is Head Boy..." she scowled as Mya murmured something through the kissing that Sirius was giving her, "I didn't hear that Mya," she said irritably "I'll see you later!"

Lily found the compartment right at the end of the train, it had a shiny brass plaque that read 'Head Boy and Girl' She slid open the door and stepped in, wondering who the Head Boy could be. Then she suddenly let out a gasp,

"JAMES?" she coloured rapidly and sank into the soft seat.

"Yeah?" he said, scooting up next to her, "What?"

"You're Head Boy? But you weren't even a Prefect"

"Yeah, I was even more amazed than you are, when I got the letter, I thought at first that they'd sent it to me instead of Moony by mistake!"

"Oh... Well, erm..." Lily stuttered, she didn't know what to say. James sat there and watched her struggle.

"She's gorgeous," he thought to himself "But she'd never like me, it's impossible. I'll be lucky if she'll accept me as a friend" how wrong he was.

"Well, I suppose that if we're going to be working together all year then... We should be friends." said James warily.

"That would be... Nice!" smiled Lily. She held out her hand and said "Let's shake on that!"

James reached out and took her hand. He shook it as if closing a business deal "Nice doing business with you Miss Evans!" he announced, still shaking her hand genially.

"Likewise Master Potter!" said Lily, grinning, she was reluctant to let go of his hand, so she didn't. He looked at her curiously, but didn't pull his hand out of hers. Lily felt as though she was glowing with bliss. They just sat and talked, still holding the other's right hand. They only let go when they had to change their robes. As they got off the train, James said,

"Lily, what was all that with the hand holding about?"

"Oh," said Lily, going scarlet, "My, my, my hand was cold." she smiled and he grinned back. He didn't se Sirius and Mya behind them.
"Well, is your hand still cold m'lady? Do you need my hand's services again?" he asked smirking.

Lily smiled back, this was a new smile, a flirty smile that James had never seen before "Yes, young man, your hand's services would be much appreciated!" James slipped his hand around hers, and they went and found a carriage.

"Merlin!" exclaimed Sirius "Those two are so obvious! They're the only ones that don't notice their own flirting!"

"Yeah!" agreed Mya, she grinned as Sirius slid his arm around her waist "They have to get together this year, even if they need some help don't the- Sirius!" she jumped and squealed Sirius' name as he moved his hand down further than she expected. Sirius smirked, and shut her up by kissing her full on the lips, despite the staring first years.

"Nosy little buggers aren't they?" he whispered, gesturing to the first years.

Well?

What do you think then?
