Hello! I know I barely started with my other story, but I decided to write a collection of oneshots. And I decide whether to give up on the other story or not, judging by the reactions to this story.

I don't plan to write this in time order. I could go from 7th year to 2nd year, so don't be alarmed.

Well, let's get started!

Chapter 1 : First time James saw Lily

Eleven-years-old Lily was in the train station. She had to board the train at 11, so she had quite a bit of time left, since it was only 10:30. She had rushed her dad into coming early, not wanting anything bad to happen on her train ride to Hogwarts. She sat on a bench by the empty place where the train should arrive.

"Hogwarts." she whispered. The word sounded so foreign, but it felt right in her mouth. She still couldn't believe she was a real-life witch, and she wondered if it were all a cruel prank, like Petunia had told her. Well, it was too late for those thoughts now, she had run into the pillar between platform 9 and 10.

At first, she didn't know what to do, as did her father and mother who accompanied her here. But some people in robes and pointy hats told her what to do. She was reluctant at first, but she was desperate, so she ran into it with her eyes closed tightly. And before she knew it, she was on the other side.

James Potter had been waiting for this day since he could remember. Coming from a pureblood family, he grew up in the magical world listening to tales from his cousins about Hogwarts. Did they really have a talking hat? Or was his cousin Henry just lying to him?

He went into the pillar, it wasn't his first time, though. He had followed Henry last year to say bye to him. Now it was his turn to say goodbye to his parents! He was going to Hogwarts! He looked around for some familiar faces, but there were none.

Then, his eyes stopped on a red-headed girl. She was sitting on a bench and she looked nervous. James debated on whether he should approach her. No, he decided. He didn't even know her. But no matter how hard he tried, he was not able to tear his eyes from her. She was really pretty. He continued staring at her, enchanted by her red locks.

Lily looked around. She felt a pair of eyes on her. She turned her head to the left, then the right. A boy around her age was ogling her. His eyes met hers. Lily looked curiously at him, why was he looking at her? Did she have something on her face? She took out her pocket mirror and peered at her refection. Nope, her face was clean. Huh. Weird.

James studied her. She was...wow...really pretty. Her eyes mesmerized him. They were green, and probably the most pleasant shade of green he had ever seen.

"James, dear, you're drooling. Stop staring at her, it's not polite." his mother told him. He quickly wiped his drool on his brand-new robes, which made his mother frown at him. When he looked back at her she was gone. He looked at the bench, which was now empty. "The train arrived, James." his father said. James looked at the train, which had just arrived.

He then saw a flash of red disappearing through the train door. James quickly hugged his father and mother goodbye. He rushed into the train, pushing a few people to the side. He was determined to find that girl. So he ignored the empty compartments and set out to search for her. In the way, he bumped into another boy he recognized as Sirius Black. He had seen him before, but they had never spoken to each other.

"You're James Potter, right?" the boy asked. James responded with a yes.

"Have you seen a red-headed girl, by any chance?" James burst out. He knew he sounded weird, but he desperately wanted to see her once more.

"Yeah, she's back there." Sirius answered.

"Great, would you like to accompany me? I really don't want to be seen alone." James pleaded. Sirius agreed to it, happy with himself for making a new friend.

Thanks for reading and please review. :)
