A/N: So when I was writing this, I'd originally intended to make this a sideline plot to a major marauder-era story, because what is this really about? But then I realized this is the story of how two people fell in love. And nothing can be greater than that. No human emotion I can write about goes deeper than love. So here it is. The story of how Lily Evans and James Potter, the girl with the kindest heart who saw the good in everyone and the guy with a talent for trouble who loved his broomstick and also loved her with all his heart, came to be. How they came to share, not just a million insults, but eventually also a house and a little son with hazel-green eyes.

I don't usually write love stories, but James and Lily, this one's for you!

Prologue

Love is dynamic, love is unpredictable, love is ever changing and love is bittersweet.

But for him it was as constant and unchanging as the sky.

And for her, her love was in denial at first, and sweet satisfaction at last.

They did a number of things during their years at Hogwarts, he served countless detentions and she rescued countless victims of his pranks.

He touched many hearts with his quirky, wild sense of humor and faithful broomstick and she touched many hearts with her simple charm and kindness.

They watched Voldemort's rise to power from behind the castle walls, helpless and powerless to fight.

However, you see, the hardest thing he ever did was to steal her heart and the hardest thing she ever did was to let him because he broke out of his idiocy for her, and she broke down her walls to let him in.

And just as the longest climb leads to the best view, the hardest thing they ever did brought them the greatest happiness in their too-short lives.


A/N: I know this sounds all very dramatic (it's so me in this mood) but read the first chapter before you judge this!

Love,
