JAMES POV!

"James, check out Lily." Sirius said under his breath to me. I slowly moved my head to the right and saw Lily sitting with her friends four tables over. I watched her brush her hair out of her gogeous face and my eyes caught her bright green ones. She blushed and turned away.

"Someone has crush..." Sirius teased. Those words brought me back to my senses.

"Lily? Please... I'm so over here and the fact she has turned me down every year..." I sighed. Sometimes Sirius knew me better then I knew myself.

"Come on man! This year is the year I can sense it!" He tried to cheer me on. I rolled my eyes. Sirius can think he is such a love guru but he has no idea. I looked around the Hogshead. All eyes were on Lily, well execpt Wormtail's and Remus's eyes, Remus had his head in a book, Wormtail's was on his plate. Otherwise everyone else was staring at her. Guys look at her because of her beauty. Girls looked at her because of pure jealousy. She didn't notice though, she just talked with her friends.

"Go on talk to her!" He urged. I rolled my eyes.

"If I talk to her with you please stop bothering me about her for a while?" I spat at him. He nodded and gave me a push out of my chair. I got up and started to walk towards their table.

"I hate you for making me do this." I hissed back at Sirius. He just winked and pointed to her table and I kept walking.

As I reached her table I saw Severus Snape had beaten me there. Severus Snape. Ugh, that stupid death eater has a crush on Lily too now? Well we'll just see about this.

"Lily, please I didn't mean it." pleaded Severus. "Please just talk to me." I saw Lily's eyes water.

"I just thought I knew you better then this Severus. I really did." I could have sworn I saw a teardrop coming down her cheeck. Immediately, she stood up and ran out of the room. Lily! I had to help her. I can't stand her being hurt. I feel as though I need to stop anything from hurting her or anyone. Snape.

"What did you say to her Snape?" I demanded.

"Wha-at? Er, erm, nothing Potter!" He stuttered. I glared at him and he return it. "Stay out of it Potter!" He snapped.

"Maybe I would if people like you wouldn't hurt Lily!" I shouted back and ran out of the room after Lily. I got halfway down the hall till I heard crying from the girls bathroom. I hesitated. Should I go in? Would she think I'm some sort of freak?

"Lily?" I whispered.

"GO AWAY!" She brawled.

"Lily, its me James." I tried again. I heard more sobbing and no answer. I decided to go in. "Lily?" But I didn't need an answer, I saw her curled up against the wall. I sat down besides her and felt her head fall on my shoulder.

"Lily tell me what happened." I tried to calm her. She wiped her tears on my T-Shirt.

"L-last year, remember when you h-hung S-severus b-by his ankle," She reminded me, still trying not to cry. I felt a slight sting remembering how mad she was at me at the time, when all I wanted to do was impress her. I nodded for her to go on.

"W-when I s-stoped you guys fr-rom it, he called me a," she closed her eyes, I could tell whatever he called her must have hurt her. "He called me a-a Mudblood." I gaped my mouth.

"That jerk called you that?!?!" I could feel the anger rising, I wanted to snap that little nerd in half!

"That's not just it." Lily said, her voice less shakey. I nodded once more for her to go on. "Snape and I were best friends growing up, he told me about magic, he helped me when I had no idea what I was. But that day, that day, he broke my heart." Her tears were back, and more than ever.

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close. "Lily," I whispered in her ear. "No matter what anyone tells you, you are the smartest, kindest, most amazing wizard I know, maybe even in the world, besides Dumbledore ofcorse." He paused to wipe her tears. "You don't need people like Snape telling you who you are, and who your not. Ecspecailly since your a million times better than them." I smiled at her and looked once more into those bright green eyes. She looked back into mine and I felt as if all time had stopped, her glazed locked into mine, and suddenly I felt as if nothing else mattered.

"You really think so James?" She sniffled. I nodded. Out of nowhere I felt a soft kiss planted on my cheek, I smiled at her again. "What was that for?" I asked.

"For being a great friend James, I never knew you were this kind." She stood up and smiled. "Maybe I'll see you around?"

"Yah, maybe." I smiled back, and before I knew it she had left the room. Wait, backup. Friend? Is that all I am to her? The feeling of nothing else mattered vanished as I sat against the wall. I felt sick, but not like the regular flu. It was different, something undiscribable.

"James Potter? Get out of the girls bathroom!"

I reconized the voice from a girl named Rita from Ravenclaw. Uh oh. I quickly got up and darted out of the room embarassed. Almost as embarassed as I was going googly eyed over Lily this morning.
