When I was younger, I always imagined that when I knew that I had fallen in love, it would be magical. It would be one of those moments where everything made sense, all of the songs, the sayings. It would be as though someone had set fireworks off in my heart, my stomach would flip over and over again, and the butterflies would be fluttering in circles.
I always imagined that I would just know. That I would meet this person, and between us a spark would set off and we would both know instantly - this is the person that I'm in love with. Guess you can't get what you want when it's that cliched.
I never imagined that the person I fell in love with would be the person I had spent all of these years hating. The person that I would never have given a second look if my life had depended on it. But it was. The side of me that wanted a fairy tale is absolutely disgusted at this, believe me.
I didn't get what I wanted - I didn't figure it out like they did in the movies, and I certainly didn't fall in love with the person I thought I had.
When I knew that I had fallen in love, it was sometime between my Theory of Charms NEWT exam, and a free period before lunch. It had been simply because my best friend had reminded me that it was our last year here, and we could never re-do it again. It was because my best friend had posed the questions, "where do we go from here? who do we go from here with?"
So here I am, pushing my way in between students, trying to make my way towards the fifth floor. I was apologizing to everyone I ran into, my best friend yelling after me, and I could only smile. Because nothing else matters right now.
"Slow down their Tiger-Lily!' Sirius chuckled, watching as I made my way out of the crowd.
James smiled, "hey Lily, what are y-"
Against all of my better judgement, I did it.
I kissed James Potter.
