Hola! It's my first chapter story :D Enjoy!

This year was going to be different.

James Potter was sure of it.

Okay, he wasn't sure. Not a hundred percent. But he would bloody well try. This was the year he was going to make Lily Evans fall for him. If all went to plan of course. Knowing his luck with Lily, probably not. But he couldn't afford to think like that.

Sirius had told him he was being seriously stupid. He retorted that he was being seriously optimistic. His mind wandered to the conversation they had had right before term ended three months earlier in the library.

"It's never going happen James." Sirius had told him for the millionth time, "She doesn't like you. There are plenty of other girls out there. Of all the girls you could have picked to fall madly in love with, you picked the one girl that will never ever fall for you. Why Lily?"

Boy, would he show him, James thought to himself.

"Sirius, you have got this all messed up." James said, shaking his head.

"Whatever. When she rejects you again go cry on Remus's shoulder. And I'll be standing there, telling you I told you so. Again." Sirius rolled his eyes dramatically at his best friend and waved him away dismissively.

"For the record, I have never cried. I -"James said crossly, looking offended.

"Moped for the next week? Wallowed in self-pity? Shut yourself up in the dorm room and skip class for all the ones you have with her?" Sirius cut in loudly, smirking.

Before James could think up even a somewhat decent comeback Ms. Pince had already shoved the two of them out the door and they scurried off, as they were already 2 minutes late for Charms class.

"James remember to... James! Are you even listening to me?" his mother said, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Wha-? Oh yes, of course mum." James said vacantly, looking around at the bustling train platform full of tearful families saying goodbye to their children, as he searched for his friends in the sea of people.

Mrs. Potter looked suspiciously at her son but didn't comment. She was getting older and looked tired and worn.

"Well, do remember to write your mother once in a while," she sighed deeply, giving her son a look, "and please dear, less than five calls from the headmaster this term would be nice."

"Yes mum." James replied and hugged his parents.

James caught sight of Sirius and Remus talking nearby and tore away from his parents.

"Padfoot! Moony! Over here!" he called, waving his friends down.

"Hullo Prongs. Have you seen Peter?" said Remus, enveloping his old friend in a hug.

"Not yet. Come on, we'll save him a seat. We're going to miss it if we wait any longer." James answered hurriedly after hugging Sirius.

The three boys walked over to the train and Sirius held open the door, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"After you."

This is just a sort of prologue of sorts. I hope you liked it! Promise I'll update soon.
