Chapter 1-

James sat up straighter as he glanced down the table in the Great Hall. He pointedly ignored Sirius' not so silent sniggering as he tried once more to gain Lily's attention.

"Face it mate, you'll never get her. She's already said she'd rather kiss my arse then even look you."

James sighed. "Stop being such a foul git, Sirius. Just because your love life is fairy tale doesn't mean everyone's is."

Sirius grabbed James' shoulder.

"Jamie, cheer up. You know I'm just joking with you."

James grinned. "I know. Come on we better go, Remus will kill us if we're late to Binns' again."

Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Well I'll just have to..er..make him forget."

James grinned as he rolled his eyes as they made there way out of the hall. As they entered the classroom Sirius immediately spotted Remus and Peter. Remus gave them a slight disapproving glare before taking out a quill and parchment.

Sirius nudged Remus, and the latter smiled. James settled in next to Peter who was looking frantic.

"Oi, Peter, what's with the anxiety?"

Peter turned the slightly pale face toward him. "You know we have a test next, in Potions."

Sirius leaned over Remus. "A test? How come I don't know about any test?"

"Perhaps because you never listen," Remus said dryly. Sirius opened his mouth to retort but Binns had already began to talk and he knew Remus would be lost in the world of note taking.

Sirius sat back, relaxed. He thought about what James had said merely minutes before.

Maybe he did have a fairy tale love life. Sirius glanced at Remus and smiled. There was no one better than Remus, Sirius thought, I'm fortunate to have such a person.

A slight squeeze on his knee brought him back to reality. The hand rested on his leg and he slyly grabbed it. Remus glanced his way giving him a quick grin.

Sirius smiled back. He mouthed the words I love you. His heart skipped when he got mouthed the words back. Even if there was no such thing, he felt that their relationship was perfect, simply perfect.

James watched Lily saying goodbye to her friend in Ravenclaw from under his invisibility cloak. As she started up the stairs he quickly followed a safe distance behind her until he was sure that they were alone. He ran in front of her and quickly pulled the cloak off. Before she could scream he put a hand over her mouth and dragged her into an empty classroom. There he tied her to a chair and released his hand.

Lily's eyes were filled with rage. "James Potter! What in the bloody hell do you think you are doing! Untie me right now or I'll scream!"

James took a deep breath his heart hammering.

"Not until you hear me out, Ev-Lily."

"I don't want to hear anything that comes out of your foul mouth Potter," Lily spat out, "Let me go, right now!"

James felt like he had been slapped in the face. He waved his wand and the ropes came undone. Lily brushed the rope off her and stormed out. James' vision wavered as he ran out after her.

"I'm so sorry Lily, "he yelled his voice cracking under emotion, "I just wanted to tell you that I really like you. That I think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. That ..that.."

James stopped and sat down on the bottom stair. He felt a tear escape. He was crazy, he had just tried to pour his entire soul out to the one girl that stole his heart and she had rejected him before he could even start. He felt like nothing.

He heard the clicking of shoes and felt someone kneel beside him. He looked over and was surprised when he saw Lily. She reached a hand up and wiped a tear away.

"James, "She said quietly, "Are you..are those things you just said..are they true?"

James looked her in the eyes. "Yes."

Lily exhaled. "I'm so stupid.."

James looked at her questionably. "What do you mean?"

Lily grimaced. "You're not going to believe this, but I always thought that..when you flirted with me you were just joking around. I mean, the famous James Potter, flirting with me. I didn't ever think..that you could really like me back."

James searched her face. "Like you back..does that mean..?"

Lily smiled slightly. "Yes, James. I've liked you for so long and I'm sorry that I never believed you. I just thought you were toying with me like you have so many other girls."

James' eyes widened slightly. After all these years Lily Evans actually liked him. After all the name-calling, hexes and everything..Lily Evans actually liked him. James' heart skipped a beat.

"Does this mean..if I asked you to go out with me, you would?"

Lily looked at him for several long moments.

"You have shown me tonight that you aren't the arrogant berk you always seem to be, James. If you asked me I would say yes."

James grinned. "Lily will you go out with me?"

"I'd be delighted."

James smiled and when they started back to the dormitory he felt as light as air.

TBC…….

Yes, this first chapter seems just about James and Lily, and it is..but don't worry..it isn't all going to be like this. I swear the next chapters will be more exciting and funnier and all that jazz.
