A/N: Hello guys. I worked on this only today so don't freak out on me that I'm neglecting my other stories. I just had this idea and had to write it. It's only two chapters long. I hope you'll like it. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter because if I did, I would let Tonks, Remus, and Fred live. I do not own Cosmic Love, all rights are to Florence and The Machine and her record label.

Cosmic Love

"A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart"
-Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine

CHAPTER ONE

James Potter had always been making fun of one Lily Evans. He's been doing it for years, not knowing why. Maybe it was because she used to have ridiculous things called 'braces' on her teeth and her hair used to be in pig tails all the time. But James was unsure. Maybe it was because she was friend with that slimy git Severus "Snivellus" Snape.

James was in his seventh year and he was sitting alone in the Gryffindor table, watching Lily Evans talking with Benjy Fenwick, both were the Heads. Lily Evans had changed a lot. She no longer fixed her hair in pig tails but she let it fall in a neat wavy bundle on her back. She no longer had braces and her teeth were perfect. She was brave and angsty. She also had a loyal heart, an innocent heart. Lily sent him a glare, he didn't notice he was staring for so long.

"See something you like, Potter?" said Lily heatedly.

In fact, James did see something he liked but he wouldn't let her know that. He only shook his head and turned back to his bowl of cereal with immense difficulty. He hadn't notice Lily raise her eyebrows at James' behavior. James has been like that for the whole year, trying to restrain himself from doing anything stupid. He had declined taking part in immense pranks with his three friends, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, but joined in with jokes and pranks that implied minimal damage. He had always liked Lily but never actually thought about her seriously. At the start of term, James had made a silent oath after an immense prank that involved a piece of parchment, some crazy assumptions and the Gryffindor Notice Board, that his aim would be to befriend Lily Evans and earn her trust.

James glanced back at Lily and Benjy. A slight pain in his chest roared when he saw Lily and Benjy laughing and acting all cutesy. His eyes roamed around her face, taking in her every feature. How her almond shaped green eyes closed when she laughs. How her cheeks pushes upwards when she smiles. How her mouth moves gracefully with each word she uttered. Her whole face was an orchestra, ready to make beautiful music.

Oooh! A tiny freckle! James thought with a grin. He hadn't noticed he had been holding his breath in until that thought. He continued watching her carefully and to his advantage, Lily just ignored him. After going through her features, her hair, and her voice ten times a realization struck him. He was horrified, overwhelmed with the emotion he was feeling by just hearing her twinkly laugh. James was speechless for a while.

She hates you, he told himself, ignoring the searing pains in his chest, she hates you with all her being. She'll never like you back. James rolled his eyes back towards her, watching her in agony. A sudden pang to apologize to her made him jump and walk towards her. His hazel eyes were wide and horrified as he cleared his throat to grab her attention. Lily jumped and glared up at him. Benjy was watching him curiously.

"What do you want, Potter?" Lily asked through her teeth. James gulped.

"I-I'm not very impulsive before," he managed to croak out. Lily snorted. "I know I've done you wrong before. But Evans, I wish you would accept my apology for those times I have teased you, ridiculed you, or whatever I did wrong to you. I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore, I promise." He gushed out hurriedly. Lily was surprised.

"T-This isn't a ploy to make me go out with you?" she asked skeptically. James just shook his head quietly. "Fine then. I forgive you, now go sod off. I need to finish this essay."

James nodded and hurried out the Great Hall. Lily Evans had accepted his apology. He couldn't believe it. He was breathless but the agony of knowing she'll never ever love him back kept slashing at his chest.

Am I supposed to continue this emotion? James asked himself, Should I stop? Arrgh, I don't know! I want to leave her but I just can't! Oh Merlin, help me.

"Prongs! Prongs, wait!" Sirius huffed from the bottom of the Grand Staircase. James watched him with agonized eyes. Sirius stopped.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked worriedly. James shook his head.

"Have you ever been in love, Padfoot?" he asked in a voice not entirely his own. It was agonized, mixed with confusion and horror. Sirius just shook his head.

"Why? What's happened?" Sirius asked. "Are you in love then?"

"I-I guess I am," said James. "But she's never going to like me back." Sirius snorted.

"All the girls love you, Prongs," he said confidently but James was watching him with a frown on his face. Sirius gulped. "Who is this girl, Prongs?"

"Lily Evans," James' voice shook when he said her name. Sirius watched him with pity.

"Oh my God, Prongs," said Sirius, "You really love her don't you?" James nodded.

"It's like I'm in the darkness, knowing she won't love me back," he said, "It's like twilight, I'm happy I love her but hate myself because I do. There's no light. I couldn't see the light of it all. It's like there's no sun, no moon, no dawn, no day, no Lumos. It's chaos, Sirius."
