I can't break through, a harry potter fanfic

James Potter sat in the Gryffindor common room, watching the red haired girl in the corner, this was an everyday ritual for him, at 16 he was going on 6ft and was the ringleader of a group of people called the marauders. They all has nicknames for each other, the nicknames came from the their animagus forms, James was Prongs because he is a stag, Sirius Black, James's best friend is Padfoot due to his dog form, almost a grim, and Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew as he is a rat, every full moon the snuck out of the school and joined the last and final marauder Remus Lupin, a werewolf nicknamed Moony.

His friends had become accustomed to his zoning fazes and usually left him to his gazing and today was no different. To be honest every word that came out of Lily Evans stung him in some way.

I hate when you say,
I Don't blow you away,
I can't break through that way
Our Friends told us

Sirius, Remus and Peter didn't know it yet but he and Lily had been slowly becoming friends for awhile now, he had started to gain her trust after he had saved her over the summer, when she had been walking in the road and nearly gotten herself killed by an oncoming truck. If the rest of the marauders ever found they would probably say that he couldn't break through that way.

We wouldn't last for the week
cos they think that I'm a freak
They hated my blue streak
I cant control this

Lily Evans felt eyes boring into her back and turned round only to see James Potter starring at her, she offered a small smile and was secretly pleased to see that he blushed the colour of his quidditch robes. She laughed lightly and then returned to her transfiguration homework. She had been secretly falling for James since that day when he had saved her, she had gone to hit him but then realising what he had done she had thanked him and then kissed his cheek, it had been at that moment that she fell for him.

Why does it feel like it's raining in my head?
I don't understand
Why are you always complaining about me
You don't even know who I am

Lily had to admit to herself that she had never taken the time to get to know James and was grateful that with their private tutoring sessions she was getting to now him and learning he was not the 'conceited git' the had always said he was. She laughed slightly at the memory of comparing James to the giant squid in fifth year,

Don't think I wanna know you
I'm tired of running after you
I won't send you a sorry card
Cos' I don't need you
I've given up and I'll never reminisce
I found a way of getting over this
I let go in everyway
Cos' I don't need you

James headed over to Lily and sat down next to her, attracting attention to himself as he did so, it was not everyday that he say next to Lily without her biting his head off. The other marauders watched confused.

"Lily," James begun "I know that we've never admitted it until recently but, would it be possible for us to be friends?"

Lily smiled "I don't see a problem with it James" she responded shocking everyone to the core "You never know perhaps one day I'll except that date you have been offering for the past five years"

I feel that it's time For me to draw the line
I know that I'll be fine
Without your bitchin'
Cos' everyday I become
A little less numb
Like I don't even know you

James smile dropped slightly and then smiled apologetically "I gave up on getting my hopes up a while ago Lily, I don't want to get my heart broken again so soon"

Lily smiled in understanding she had been hard on him last year.

Why does it feel like it's raining in my head?
I don't understand
Why are you always complaining about me
You don't even know who I am

James woke up with a start, that had been four years ago and now he was married to Lily with a wonderful son. Harry James Potter was the reason James had awoken, he was screaming the house down.

"You know Harry, you shouldn't wake up at these ridiculous hours of the night, it's when people sleep"

Harry gurgled and then settled into his fathers embrace. James continued to rub circles on his back and started to sing the song that always reminded him and of what he and Lily were like before sixth year, it was only that last part of it but it was enough to soothe Harry back to sleep.

Cos' I don't need you
Don't think I wanna know
I've gotta go before I go crazy
I let go in everyway
Cos' anyway,
I know that you hate me

Don't think I wanna know
I've gotta go before I go crazy
I let go in everyway
Cos' anyway,
I know that you hate me

Don't think I wanna know
I've gotta go
before I go crazy
I let go in everyway
Cos' anyway,
I know that you hate me

James sighed as he laid his son down in the cot and headed back to the bedroom. He turned around and looked at the cot "I love you harry, I love you with all the world"

When James got back into bed he looked at Lily and smiled "I love you with everything I have" he whispered, unaware of the future that lay ahead for him and his family and friends.

Authors note- the song James sang to Harry is the ending of the song that is all the way through the story, it's called 'can't break trough' by Busted. Song in italics
