AN - Just a little something from James' point of view...years in the future, looking back on things. It's against the plot of HP, but who carres? It was fun to write. Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW!!!!


I Let Her Slip Away

It all started that day in Diagon Ally

She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.

Some people don't believe in love at first sight…

and I didn't either…

until I saw her

Dazzling hair, and sparkling eyes…

A boisterous smile, and a jaunty flair…

I walked towards her,

But then a crowd separated us…

When it finally cleared, she was gone.

I was getting on the Hogwarts Express…

When suddenly I saw her,

I couldn't believe my luck!

How could she have gone to my school,

And I'd never noticed her before?

It turned out…

that she'd transferred from somewhere else…

and I was so grateful that she had…

I tried to talk to her that day…on the train…

But she was popular already.

She was surrounded by people,

All of them laughing,

And she was laughing hardest of all.

Finally I caught her by herself,

And asked her if she'd fancy going out with me.

Her immediate response was,

"What? With you?"

And she laughed.

"Nope, sorry."

For the first time in my life…

I was thrown…

Lost

A girl had refused to go out with me…

Not just any girl…

But a pretty one…

What was that all about?

Well, of course I couldn't let my reputation fall that easy…

So, of course

I decided to ask her out not once…

But every single bloody day.

By the end of the year everyone knew that there was no chance,

In a million years,

That Lily Evans would ever go out with me,

James Potter.

So, life went on.

The next year passed the same way as the first,

And on the Hogwarts Express at the end of term,

I cornered her for one last request.

Of course, she refused,

But I'd figured it was worth a shot.

Years later,

Looking back,

I realize what a fool I was.

There she was…

The love of my life

And I let her just slip silently away.
