a/n: sorry in advance for the feels.

disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

On January 30th of seventh year, Lily Evans made a wish on the candles that Marlene and Dorcas had put in her birthday cake.

The wish had nothing to do with James Potter and his bloody perfect girlfriend, nothing at all.

Or the way he smiled at her. Or hugged her. Or kissed her.

It had nothing to do with the hope that he might love her again.

Nothing to do with the way her heart twisted and ripped out of her chest whenever she saw them together.

On March 27th, James Potter bought a ring.

He wished for his love to say yes as he blew out his candles.

And in the middle of the common room, James got down on one knee, and asked the question.

In the corner of the common room, a redhead had tears streaming down her red face, covering her sobs as she went up the stairs to the girls' dormitory, while everyone cheered as James pressed a kiss to his fiancée's lips.

On March 27th, Lily Evans' wish did not come true.

a/n: review please?
