10 Things I hate about you

Basically, I was watching this chick flick with my sisters a few days ago: 10 Things I Hate About You, and I was inspired to start writing this Jily fan-fiction based on it. Anyway...

Lily was the most beautiful, intelligent and popular girl at Hogwarts. All the guys used to want to go out with her - that is, until she got a reputation of hexing, slapping, threatening and punching any guy who showed interest in her in any way that wasn't platonic. However, there is one guy who never stops trying: James Potter. James Potter is one of the most good-looking guys at school, along with the one who gets the best grades, does the best at anything broom-related (except cleaning up messes, of course) and, on top of this, is the most completely smitten with the unrelenting Lily Evans. Everybody knows that Lily and James ended up together, and not many people know that technically, it was Vernon Dudley (yes, I'm not kidding!) who set them up.

You see, in the Evans household, Rose and John Evans had one rule when it came to Petunia getting married to Vernon Dursley which was in Mrs Evans' words: "Only if by the end of her 7th Year Lily announces to us and the whole of Hogwarts that she is in love with JAMES POTTER and that he is her boyfriend, and MEANS it, can you get married to that pig of a man!" Petunia then ran to her room, slammed the door and bawled her eyes out, because she knew that that would never, ever happen. Her parents were just being cruel - Lily despised James Potter with a great passion. Every summer, she complained to her family about his antics and many methods of asking her out, which was usually a source of great entertainment to them all. But not now.

However, Vernon would not give up just yet, and wrote to the only guy that could help him...

~ Set in their 7th year at Hogwarts.
