~*~*~*~

Out of all the boys, you're not like the others

From the very first day, I knew we'd be lovers

James sat down at the Gryffindor Table. He had just been Sorted. A few minutes later, a girl with beautiful green eyes and long, curly red hair sat down on the stool, and put on the Sorting Hat. The hat yelled out "GRYFFINDOR!", and she sat down next to him. They looked at each other, smiled, blushed and looked away.

In my wildest dreams, my darkest desire

Would I declare to you your love takes me higher

Just when we both thought our lives were set in stone

They shone a light and brought us together

It was their fourth year, and James had just won a Quidditch match. He had been lifted up onto the crowd's shoulders, but when they put him down, he looked at Lily and pulled her into a long kiss, for the first time. Cheers erupted around them and they saw that everybody was cheering for them, including a smiling Dumbledore. They blushed.

We are two in a million

We've got all the luck we could be given

If the world should stop, we'll still have each other

And no matter what, we'll be forever as one

James pulled Lily into his arms and they slowly danced together, oblivious to the slow music and dancing people around them. Lily gently put her head on James's shoulder and he tightened his arms around her.

"I love you, Lily," James whispered.

"I love you, James," Lily whispered back.

It's a crazy world where everythin's changin'

One minute you're up, and the next thing you're breakin'

When I lose my way and the skies they get heavy

It'll be okay the moment you're with me

No one would have guessed we'd be standing strong today

Solid as a rock and perfect in every way

"No one would have thought that we would still be going out in our seventh year. But I know that we are meant to be. Lily, will you marry me?" James asked, falling to one knee and pulling out a small, maroon, velvet box that showed a beautiful gold ring with an emerald surrounded by rubies. Lily burst into tears and nodded, throwing her arms around James.

"Thank you, James," she whispered. James softly kissed her on the lips.

We are two in a million

We've got all the luck we could be given

If the world should stop we'll still have each other

And no matter what we'll be forever as one

"Mr Potter – it's a boy!" the doctor called to James, who was sitting in the Waiting Room. James rushed down the corridor, flung open the door and raced in to see his wife – exhausted but happy – holding a baby boy.

"Oh Lily. He's beautiful! James whispered.

"What are you going to name him?" the doctor asked the couple.

"Harry," they said together. Harry opened his eyes and James gasped.

"His eyes! They are just like yours, Lily," James whispered joyfully, looking at the beautiful green eyes.

Lily just grinned and kissed her husband.

We are two in a million

We've got all the luck we could be given

If the world should stop we'll still have each other

And no matter what we'll be forever as one

"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off," James yelled to his wife. Sobbing, she gave her weeping husband one last kiss, picked up their baby boy and stumbled from the room. The front door burst open and Voldemort ran in. He laughed a high-pitched laugh and called out "Avada Kedavra!" A flash of green light swept through the house and James lay on the floor, dead.

  Lily was halfway through the house – she was in the hallway, making it for the back door. She was going to run out of the back of the house and through the village to Sirius Black's house. But she slipped and fell in the hallway, Harry still in her shaking arms. Voldemort caught up with her, and aimed his wand at the baby boy.

"Not Harry! Not Harry! Please – I'll do anything –"

"Stand aside – stand aside, girl-"

"NO! YOU WILL NOT KILL MY SON!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" There was a flash of green light, and Harry tumbled out of his dead mother's arms.
