AN: This is one of my favorite ideas for a fanfic. I've seen some people do it before, but I'll be drawing it out into a chapter fic instead of a oneshot. Hope you like it! Please don't favorite without reviewing. It makes my day when people review, so if you like it, please review. It only takes ten seconds. Thanks! :D
Disclaimer: The characters are not mine, the song is not mine, but the Fanfic is Mine.
Mine
You were in college workin' part time waitin' tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
Wonerin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes I can see it now
Mine - Taylor Swift
Lily Evans was bored and annoyed. That was never a good combination. She was bored because Mary and Alice both had dates today. Annoyed because she was dateless. After all, it was Valentine's day, and usually, she was being showered in lilies and rose petals. (James Potter was never very original) Generally, Lily got very annoyed when this happened, but for some unfathomable reason, this year she had almost looked forward to it. Yet, it was six in the afternoon, and there was nothing. Not one word all day. Ignoring the weight that seemed to be pressing on her heart, she figured it was all for the better. After all, it's not like she fancied him. She knew that school relationships never lasted. that's why she never went out with any guys. Why set herself up for heartbreak? Mary was always telling Lily that she needed to go out more, but Lily could care less. She usually enjoyed not doing much of anything, except for right then.
Of course, the universe couldn't leave Lily Evans bored out of her mind, so it decided that someone needed to distract her. That distraction happened to come in the form of James Potter. He just waltzed into the common room, saw a bored Lily on the couch, and sat down next to her.
"James, what are you doing?" Lily asked, shooting him a weary glance.
"I'm not up to anything, Lily. You just looked bored, so I thought I'd cheer you up."
"Nothing could cheer me up right now. Especially not you," Lily sighed.
James looked over at her and then looked to the table in front of her, where she had tossed that morning's Daily Prophet after reading nothing but doom and gloom.
"So, what has been happening in the 'real world' lately?" James asked while opening up the Prophet.
"Another Death Eater attack," Lily said. "Can you believe it? Right outside of London. I thought, with the Ministry being so close, that they wouldn't dare try anywhere near London. Three wizards and twenty muggles killed. It's tragic."
"Wow. Twenty muggles? What's the death toll got to be at for the Ministry to declare this a war? Two thousand?" James asked, sounding angry. "But that's not what we should be talking about today."
"What so special about today?" Lily asked, forgetting that it was a very special day to James Potter.
"Lily! It's Valentine's Day! The best of holidays! Better than Christmas! Though-" He leaned in close, "If Sirius heard me say that, I'd be dead in ten seconds."
Lily chuckled, remembering the antics that Black liked to pull right before holiday break. That past Christmas, he had dressed up as an elf, causing a slight uproar when he snuck down to the kitchens later on.
"Yes, he does love Christmas, doesn't he?"
They talked for two hours, and Lily barely noticed that it was the nicest afternoon she had ever spent with anyone, never mind the fact that it was the longest, nicest conversation she had ever had with James Potter.
Review!
