~*~*~*~
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.

that it was perfect for James and Lily.
