Author's Note: HI! This is my newest story! I wrote it a while ago but only now got around to typing it up. I'll try to update often. Please review! Thank you all! If you haven't read my other story, Hate To Love, you should give it a try. It's a Scorpius Malfoy / Lily L. Potter one. By the way, I do not own Harry Potter (obviously). And the song is pieces of Wait For You, by Elliot Yamin.

Fall For You

Chapter one: Wait For You

…Girl you could have stayed
but you wouldn't give me a chance
With you not around it's a little bit more then I can stand
And all my tears they keep running down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide?
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it's a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don't know what else I can do
Don't tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you…

There she was, the most amazing girl in existence. My angel, my flower, my love, my Lily. Her beautiful dark red hair danced down her back and around her face in a glorious silky cascade as she walked. Where the sunlight streaming from the blue sky hit it the red was drawn out particularly to gleam like strands of rubies. Her hips swung ever so slightly in a hypnotizing motion. Her perfectly curved body moved lightly with each smooth step giving her the appearance of gliding rather than walking.

Lily's face lit up when she saw her friend, Alice Hanson. Her eyes, such a stunning emerald green, sparkled as her perfect lips stretched into a smile. The smile caused a very slight dimple to appear on her right cheek. The top of her nose wrinkled slightly too and little lines sprung from the corners of her dancing eyes. It was as if her entire face wished to be part of her joy. The object of my affection flung herself at her friend.

"Alice!" she cried in that musical voice of hers.

Her eyes closed as she embraced the other girl. With those distractingly gorgeous green orbs hidden from view her freckles stood out more. They were almost unnoticeable they were so light in color and so few in numbers, a few sprinkled on the bridge of her nose and across her cheekbones which cut across her face in just the right way. With her eyes closed her thick dark eyelashes were so long they touched her cheek.

I knew Lily's face in extreme detail. Most people didn't notice these things about Lily Evans. I did. I'd spent six years watching her intently until I'd memorized her face completely. Now here we were entering our final year of Hogwarts and despite my efforts she still didn't like me.

I admit I'd been a bit of a jerk but I was trying to change… for her. I'm pretty sure she noticed the difference in my attitude last year because she'd told me we could be friends. Friends, ouch. I wished for so much more, but it was better than being bitter enemies.

Sometimes I'd catch something though. A flicker of uncertainty would cross her face when she was talking to me. There was a dash of fear and hope mixed when I pledged to wait for her.

"I'll wait for you as long as it takes," I'd told Lily.

"Forever then," she'd snapped, that fear still lingering in her face.

"If I must," was my only reply.

And my answer had unsettled her.

"Leave me alone Potter."

"How am I supposed to prove myself to you when you won't even give me another chance?" I'd asked.

She'd sighed and nervously muttered. "Fine, friends. We'll be friends." Her voice squeaked and broke.

I wondered at times if she felt something for me too. If so I knew why she would keep her feelings hidden. Pride. Lily hated to be wrong. She wouldn't like the idea of admitting that I'd won her over when she'd been denying for years my claims that she'd someday be mine.

"Hey Prongs, daydreaming about Lily Evans again are you?" my best friend, Sirius Black, nudged me as he spoke.

I tore my eyes from where I'd been watching Lily greet her friends by the steps to the train. My three friends, Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black all started at me sympathetically.

"I can't give up," I muttered. "I love her."

Sirius snorted. "Love… right. Look I can hook you up with a really hot Ravenclaw girl in our year. She asked me about you when I was getting on the train. Go out and have some fun with her. Forget about Lily for a bit, it'll be good for you."

I glared at him. "You don't get what I'm saying padfoot. I love her. That's not something I can just switch off. Besides, I told Lily I'd wait for her."

"What's the point? Even if she did fancy you she'd never admit it. That girl's just too stubborn," Sirius told me.

"Then you need to get her to admit her feelings," Remus said.

"If said feelings even exist," Sirius mumbled.

I ignored him. "What do you mean Moony? How would I do that?"

"Make her jealous." The answer came from Peter.

"Why?" I stared at the small boy in surprise.

He shrugged looking mildly embarrassed. "I dunno. I've seen other people do it. It seems to work for them."

"That could work," I said thoughfully.

"Yah, you've been bugging her since first year. She's so used to your constant attention that she might find she misses it when it's gone," Remus added.

Sirius stared at me intently. "Are you sure she's worth all of this?"

"Yes," I answered firmly.

He sighed. "Fine, I am your best mate so I suppose I should help you with your newest plan to woo Lily Evans."

The door opened just then. The very girl we'd just been discussing stood there with her three friends, Alice Hanson, Kira Breaker, and Faith Moon. Her eyes widened when she saw us.

"Sorry, we didn't know anyone else was in here," Lily apologized.

She turned to leave but Kira grabbed her shoulder and spun the girl back around. Kira had long black hair, skin the color of cinnamon, and dark eyes. She was very outspoken with a fierce personality. Not even the Slytherins dared to bother her. Kira was the only person Lily gave into without much of a fight. With anyone else my girl was as stubborn and unmovable as a mountain. I knew that better than anyone.

"Can we sit here?" Kira asked in her loud voice.

"Yes," I said instantly.

Lily turned to glare at the girl while Faith looked hopeful. Kira raised her eyebrows and gave the beautiful red head a look that would have had me cowering in a corner. I knew why Kira wanted to stay so badly. She fancied Peter, though why a good looking chick like her would look twice at the small mousy kid was a mystery to me.

"Fine," Lily finally huffed.

Still scowling she sat between Remus and Sirius on the other side of the compartment from me. I frowned. Kira took her place next to Peter and Alice sat between Kira's crush and I.

Alice was a nice girl and the only one of Lily's friends that I really got along with. Kira scared me and Faith was always trying to seduce me. With Alice there was none of that weirdness because she had a boyfriend, Frank Longbottom, who'd graduated last year.

Faith flirted with any guy in sight. For example, she sat next to Sirius right then, giggling and fluttering her eyelashes. Sirius grinned back. I suppose they had a lot in common. Sirius, like Faith, tried to seduce every member of the opposite sex that he came across.

It wasn't that Faith wasn't pretty. She had thick, luscious blond hair, flawless skin, and bright, beautiful blue eyes. Her stunning looks held no charm for me though. It was an empty beauty, devoid of Lily's constant animation.

"So how are you James?" Alice asked me as the whistle blew and the train took off from the station.

I looked away from Lily to smile at Alice Hanson. "I'm doing pretty well. How about you?"

"I'm getting married this summer!"

"What? Frank proposed?" I was shocked. Alice seemed much too young to be engaged!

"Yes," she sighed with joy.

She began telling me about the planning going into the wedding. My eyes unintentionally drifted back to Lily. She was talking to Remus and they were both laughing so hard they had to clutch each other for support to keep from falling. I clenched my teeth when Remus whispered something in her ear. She stopped laughing to stare at him. Curse her cuteness!

"You're so sweet Remus," she smiled softly.

"So you'll do it?" he asked hopefully.

"You are sweet, and adorable too but no. I'm sorry. It was nice of you to ask though." She kissed him on the cheek with a light pressure of her lips.

He blushed and stared at her in shock. My hands curled into fists. I was going to kill him.

"You'll come won't you James?"

I quickly glanced back at Alice. It took me a moment to remember that she was talking about her wedding. I took a deep breath to calm myself.

"Sure, I'd love to."

Alice game me an odd look. "You really do like her don't you?"

There was only one person she could be talking about.

"Yes."

She nodded. "Lily told us what you said about waiting. I believe her ending words were 'he's a bloody annoying git!' I think it's cute though, your vow, but Lily's as stubborn as it gets. Even if she did discover feelings for you she'd never tell a soul, least of all you."

"I know but… I have to wait for her. I just have to." I whispered.

"I can tell. Just be careful or she'll break you James."

"I know," I assured her. "That's why I have a plan."

Alice grinned. "Another plan? This should be fun."

"It will be," I assured her.

"This will be an interesting year," she mused.

I caught sight of Lily putting both hands on Remus's shoulders. She was leaning close to him, their noses almost touching, her lips a blur as she murmured something to him.

"I'm sure it will be," I muttered to Alice. "You can count on it."

It's been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You got me feeling crazy (crazy)
How can you walk away,
Everything stays the same
I just can't do it baby
What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is & it just ain't like that
Why can't you look at me, your still in love with me
Don't leave me crying.

Baby why can't we just start over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But your telling me it wont be enough
