Hey guys! So I've been off this website for a WHILE... *winces* but I'm back now :) so on with the story! Anything in italics has come out of the books!
Disclaimer: I have prayed for several years, but I have never, nor will I ever, own Harry Potter.
'Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!' Like my dad." said James Potter, lifting an invisible sword.
Severus Snape snorted. "If you'd rather be brainy than brawny - "
Where are you hoping to go, seeing as you're neither?" Sirius jeered, and Snape flushed.
Lily looked disdainfully at the both of them and stood up. "Come on Sev, let's go." she said loftily, walking out of the compartment.
James wanted to beg her to stay, not wanting this vision of beauty to leave so soon, with her flaming red hair and piercing green eyes. "Hey, wait…" he called, but she had already left the compartment.
Sirius looked at him with a frown. "Oh come on Potter, it was just a joke," he said.
"It's not about that…" he said, lying back and closing his eyes, not wanting Lily to leave his thoughts.
"Then what is it about… dear Merlin, no, not for that redhead?" asked Sirius with a frown.
"She's an angel," James said breathlessly.
"She's nothing but trouble," said Sirius bluntly. "She pretty much hates our guts."
"I don't care," said James. "I'm in love."
Sirius laughed. "Good one, mate."
But as Sirius started to talk about the Sorting ceremony again, James's mind was still full of Lily. "Merlin," he whispered to himself, "This girl is going to be mine."
