A/N: I don't own Harry Potter.
Well, this is a bit different than anything I've written before. The style seemed to lend itself to the idea that I had, and I hope that you like it.
Pairing: James/Lily
Once upon a time…
There lived a dashing young prince. His hair was like the tousled feathers of a proud raven, and a pair of spectacles perched on his nose. Along with his friends, the prince embarked on many adventures, and could always be counted on to brighten a room.
The object of the young prince's affections was a young commoner girl. Her hair was like a fire, and her eyes were the greenest green. No one could rival her knowledge and talent.
She couldn't stand him.
Nevertheless, the young prince was stubborn. He was persistent in his courting of the fiery maiden until they finally fell madly in love and were married.
Soon, a son, the new prince and heir, was born.
Though they lived in a troubled time, full of evil and death, they found peace and hope in each other.
They knew that the forces of Good would soon triumph over the forces of Evil.
They were right.
However, this isn't a fairytale. This is real life.
If this was a fairytale, people wouldn't be judged by their blood.
If this was a fairytale, Voldemort would have been killed, once and for all.
If this was a fairytale, James and Lily Potter would still be alive.
…And they all lived happily ever after.
