A/N: Well then. this is my first (and last?) theme story. ever. 100 themes. 100 chapters. Marauder's Era. I hope you like it. and would like to thank PottedLilies for helping me with this title. gosh, you are a genius. you already know that, don't you. okay.

two things:

1) My name is Nick

2) I do NOT give summaries. i would hope you would know what every chapter is about from reading it and looking at the chapter title.

Usually, when a 100 theme begins, it is "introduction", but I like to change things up.

Disclaimer: I won nothing. and I own nothing.

When Hazel met Emerald

"The name's James Potter."

His voice was soft and warm, with an bold and touch to it.

Thrusting out his right hand, he gave her a huge dazzling grin.

The girl, unsure about him, pulled both arms back behind her head. James' smile faltered, but not enough for the girl to notice.

"I'm Lily Evans." The girl with bright bright red hair said stiffly, her emerald eyes drifting to look past him.

"Oh yeah," He said, running a hand through his black messy hair, the back sticking up. "We met on the train."

"Right," she smiled coldy, her eyes darkening, "You were the one who made fun of my friend."

"Snivellus, right?" He said, joking around, or at least that's what he thought. "The one with the greasy hair? White face?"

"His name is Severus," She seethed, her fists balling up, "and he doesn't have greasy hair."

"Hm, whatever you say, Evans." James smiled cockily, thinking it was cool to call people by their last names.

"Sod off." Lily said, her face turning red.

As she started walking away, James knew his window was closing, so he grabbed her hand, something that was unprecedented in the world of eleven year-olds.

"Hey wait," James whined, turning her around.

"What?" She asked, tapping her foot impatiently.

"I... uh." James rambled, his face turning pink.

For a short moment, Lily saw something in his face. It wasn't the arrogant aura that he put on everyday. No, it wasn't the smirk he wore when he was joking with his friends, pulling pranks and poking fun at slytherins. No, it was a insecure smile, something that told her he was a person too.

So for the first time, Lily looked up at his face, her eyes catching his hazel ones.

They stood like that for a few more seconds, before James reverted to his old form, asking, "Go out with me, Evans?"

Maybe because she was tired that day or because she had just seen the real James Potter, but when he said that, she just rolled her eyes, not getting angry. "Never in your lifetime, Potter."

As Lily turned around to her friends, she barely heard the whispered, "Sorry Evans." come out of James' mouth.

She shook it off, telling herself she was hearing things. But when she looked back, he was still watching her. Not in a creepy way, but a protective way. The same way James would look at Lily for the rest of his life.

And they both knew,

That's When Hazel met Emerald.

A/N: So I'm just saying, that was my first 100 theme. I plan on using themes I make up, and from the internet 100 theme challenges.

So how'd you like it? Review please? I accept any criticism.
