Chapter 1: Head Girl and Boy

To say that I didn't like James Potter would be true, but it would also be putting it way too nicely. The truth of the matter is, I cannot stand to be in the same room with him. Being with him for more then 5 minutes gives me a strong urge to throttle something...or more correctly, someone. So if you were to see me right now, not only in the company of James Potter, but actually having to listen to him speak without being able to do anything, you would see why I am not in the happiest of happy moods.

It was the first day back to Hogwarts in my 7th and final year. I had been trilled to discover that I had been made head girl. When I found out that Potter had been made head boy, my joy was to say the least, short lived. Now we were in the prefects compartment and I was forced to sit here and listen to him tell the prefects some last minute instructions. Professor Dumbledore had already left, telling Potter to finish up everything on his way out. Honestly this had to be the worst thing I could imagine right now. Potter being head boy. I was going to be forced to work with him all year, when I didn't even like having to see him in classes! What was Dumbledore thinking? Potter and I could never work together well. Man oh man this really sucked.

"Isn't that right Evans?" Potter asked me suddenly. Crap, I hadn't actually been listening to a word he had said. Listening to Potter gave me a headache.

"Uhhhh..." I said sounding like an idiot.

"You see?" He said to the prefects. "Evans and I are going to be working together a lot this year and are excited to work with all of you. If you have any questions just talk to one of us or the head of your house. Your dismissed to patrol the corridors."

Before I could correct Potters very wrong notions, the prefects left.

"What was that?" I demanded.

"What was what?" he asked trying to sound innocent.

"Don't mess with me Potter. 'Evans and I are going to be working a lot together'? No more then I absolutely have to I can tell you that much. And what was it exactly that you told them I agreed to?"

"Oh I just said that since the heads got along so well this year would go smoothly," he replied with that arrogant smirk that I hated so much. His hand then went to his hair, messing it up even more. I really hate it when he does that.

"What world are you living in? 'Cause in the real world you have been stalking me since 4th year and I can't stand you."

"Stalking? Come now Evans that's not the word I would use. I would say I've more of been...trying to become your friend," he said smirking again...I really was dying to wipe that smirk right off of his face.

"Trying to become my friend?" I repeated in disbelief. "Right...well, then would you care to explain why you have asked me out about 5 thousand times?"

He opened his mouth to reply and then closed it. I gave him a knowing triumphant look and left the compartment, ready to get away from him and to find my friends. Before I could find them, I was most unfortunately stumbled upon by Sirius Black, literally. It seemed he was running from someone, and he ran right into me. Causing me and him to fall to the ground, with him on top of me. Just my sodding luck. I finally get away from Potter, and his best friend falls on me. I swear that they plan these things.

"Would you look at that?" Black said now leaning on his elbows, but still laying on me. "Lily Evans, fancy meeting you here."

I tried to shove him off, but my arms were pinned to my sides and I couldn't move. "Do you mind?" I yelled intentionally into his face. "I sort of can't breathe here!"

"Now that's not very nice is it? Could you ask me properly? Then I might move," he said clearly enjoying holding this over me...no pun intended.

"Black how about you move or I hurt you? How's that for proper?"

"Ah Lily my dear, you can't move remember?"

Annoyed by his stupid, yet true comment I tried once again to get him off of me. He didn't budge, and I wasn't all that surprised. People were gathering around now, apparently amused by what was happening. Well, I sure was not amused. All I knew at that point was that if he didn't get off of me and fast, there was going to be one less marauder to worry about. Who should show up then but the person I had been trying to get away from. Only for once in my life, I was relived that he was there. If any one could get Black off of me, it was Potter.

"Padfoot?" Potter asked.

"James!" Black was off of me like something had shocked him. It was clear that he would rather live then bug the heck out of me.

"What happened here?" Potter asked looking from me to Black. I got up of the ground, brushed myself off, and added a new thing to the list of why I hated Potter. He didn't even try to help me up, what a sweet guy...

"This is not what it looks like," Black said to Potter. "I was running away from Alex and I sort of ran right into her."

"Then why didn't you get right off?" Potter demanded. Gee, I just love how they are acting like I'm not even here. Not like I want to be here...In fact, now seems like a good time to get away.

Fortunately, I was right. Potter was too busy trying to decided if he was mad at his best friend, and Black was too busy trying to save his skin for either of them to realize that I had left. A few compartments down, I found my friends. They were all talking happily, and I felt very relived indeed to see them. I opened the compartment door and they all looked up.

"Lily!" came from all around the room.

Katie got to me first and dragged me inside. I sat down next to her, across from Michael. I guess it's introduction time. My best friends at Hogwarts are Katie, Michael, and Brad. Brad and I have known each other since we were about 3 years old, and he had been my friend since I was 7. Sadly, he has had the most hopeless crush on Katie since 2nd year, and she is oblivious to it. He is about 6ft with brown curly hair and gray/blue eyes. Everyone thinks he is shy at first, but he isn't at all once you get to know him.

Katie I have known since 2nd year...Any guesses why? That's right. Brad told me about this girl Katie that he liked, I met her, found out she was in my house and my year, and we have been friends ever since. Now Katie isn't the brightest girl in the world, but we all love her for it. She's good in school, but that girl has more blonde moments then any other girl in the school. She has long blonde hair, brown eyes, and is about 5'8. Katie is the loudest, happiest, and craziest person I know, and I wouldn't have her any other way.

Now Michael I have only known since 4th year. He started liking me, and I thought he was pretty cute so we dated for a few months. I don't like him like that anymore, and I'm really glad that we stayed good friends. There are rumors that he still likes me, but I honestly have no idea. He is an awesome friend though. He is 100 loyal, and would do anything for a friend. He is also amazing at Transfiguration, which is a subject that I need all the help I can get in. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and is around 6'3". He is also a beater on the Griffindor quidditch team, so I don't ever miss a match.

Also in the room right now, was Katies current boyfriend, Bryant Thomas. I really didn't know that much about him, but according to Katie he was and I quote, 'an amazing guy who takes my breath away'. Honestly I don't even want to think about that, but I'll take her word for it.

"So how did the meeting go Lily?" asked Brad.

"Ok I guess," I said dying not to talk about the embarrassing things that had just happened.

"So who is head boy?" asked Katie. "Please tell me that it is not Snape. 'Cause if it is, I want to go home right now."

"No," I said somberly. "It's much worse then Snape."

"How could it be worse then Snape?...Oh no, it's not..." said Michael. I always knew this boy was smart.

"Yep. It's Potter. My least favorite person in the whole wide world is head boy."

"Gee Lily I'm sorry..." Katie said putting her arm around me. "Want me to hex him for you?"

I smiled and said, "Tempting offer, but that's ok. Just as long as I don't have to see him or Black for a while."

"What does Black have to do with this?" Katie demanded. Just so you know, Katie and Black dated last year, and now she can't stand him. Can't blame her though. He is a stuck up jerk...

So I told them all what had happened and then avoided looking at them. I was embarrassed enough already.

"He is such an idiot..."Katie said simply. "They are both idiots actually..."

"Who's an idiot Peterson?" Speak of the devil. The compartment door opened to reveal Potter and the rest of his gang.

"Why you are Potter," I said standing up.

"Aw Evans, that hurt," Potter said putting his hand over his heart in mock agony.

"What do you want?" Brad demanded getting up to. He was usually the first one to rescue me from Potter and I loved him for it.

"I just want to ask Evans something," Potter replied, eyeing Brad.

"So spit it out," I said rudely...not that it really mattered seeing as this was Potter.

Potters attention came back to me and he said, "So Evans, will you go out with me?"

I looked at him with disgust and slammed the compartment door shut in his face. "So should I take that as a no?" he yelled through the door. I rolled my eyes and sat back down next to Katie.

"I can't believe he asked you out already!" she said, voicing what I was thinking.

"That has to be some kind of record," Michael pointed out.

"He is such a big headed moron!" I yelled in frustration. "I am not going to take any crap from Potter this year...If he keeps giving me a bad time I'm going to hex him and be done with it."

"Sounds like a great idea to me," Brad agreed.

"We're probably almost there," Bryant said logically. I jumped at the sound of his voice. I had almost forgotten that he was there.

"Yeah we should change into our robes," I said getting up.

No one talked as we put our robes on, we were all just lost in out thoughts. As the train pulled into the Hogsmade station and stopped, I grabbed my owl from the rack over our heads and went out into the corridor with everyone else. It took the five of us about 3 minutes to find a carriage and get inside. We chatted happily about how we thought the new year would be as we came closer and closer to Hogwarts. When we got out of the carriage, I looked up at the beautiful castle. As I walked through the big wooden doors there was only one thought on my mind, I was home.

A/N: So what do you think? I got rid of my old Harry Potter fic because I didn't like it and couldn't even remember where I was going with it. I hope that you all like this chapter. Review please, I really want to know what you thought.
