James Potter: The unknown story

Chapter One: James the precious Potter

Many know James Potter as an arrogant, bully and toe rag but to his friends, James had been always loyal and friendly. He was a brave lad, he could go great distance to save his friends. His friends stayed with him through all times, bad or good. But he had a big concern, Lily Evans. The girl he was in love with, not just ordinary love but crazy love.

It all began with Snape, the bloody crooked want to be death eater Snivellus. He had crossed James' path far too much to his likeness. Now he stood between him and Lily, even though Lily had distanced herself from Snape after 'the incidence'. He was still a pain in the arse. James was now entering his sixth year, he was made the captain of the Gryffindor that means he had access to the Prefects' bathroom without the invisibility cloak.

It was on bright Saturday morning, James woke up early to the sound of birds chipping and the shaking of the whomping willow. James usually preferred to sleep till noon during the weekends but on this particular day, he felt like waking up and going for a walk. There is a side of James, only his close friends knew. Deep down James Potter was a caring and a loving person but he preferred not to show it to anyone. Now James Potter didn't expect a sleeping Lily Evans in the common room with a book lying across her chest. James stopped for a bit to stare at her beautiful green eyes. Her breathing was so peaceful. He went near her and leaned in to hear her breathing.

Suddenly, Lily woke up. "What the hell are you doing, Potter?" She asked startled.

James being a gentleman backed off immediately and mumbled something like your face looked so peaceful when you were sleeping.

Lily didn't quite catch it and asked."What did you say?" James turned away to leave, unable to answer her question for the first time since they met.

"Sometimes Potter, you are so weird. You are innocent one minute and arrogant at the next moment. I prefer the innocent James." She said collecting her book and climbing up the dorm stairs.

"Wait Evans. Oh no. "James screamed as he tried to climb the girls' dorm but it turned into slide and he was falling backwards.

"James, are you alright?" Lily asked as he landed on the floor with a loud thud. "I think so." James said getting up and massaging his head.

''Come on, let's go to the hospital wing." Lily said.

"Are you silly? Poppy will kill me if I visit for a scratch in my head." James replied adjusting his glasses and staring at green eyes.

"What?" Lily asked angrily as James kept staring at her.

"You have the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen." James replied mesmerized.

"Is that some lame pickup line you use to flatter girls?" Lily asked.

"No, I have never seen a girl with such beautiful green eyes." James said yet again staring at her eyes.

"Quit staring please and by the way what are you doing so early on a Saturday morning?" Lily asked him.

"I was going for a walk." James muttered, barely audible to Lily.

"What, the precious James Potter going for a walk?'' She asked controlling her laughter.

"Yes and would you care to join me?" James asked Lily all of a sudden.
