This is Hint-Fictions between James and Lily…no definite timeline, just whatever catches my fancy.

Please, be kind with your reviews...if you even think to review. My first try at Hint fictions.

Cold

It was her first impression of Sirius Black's eyes, but she saw him laughing with Potter and he had fire in him.

Accident

It wasn't his intention to drop the bucket of snow on top of Evans, it was the shock of seeing her fiery hair on the snow that made his charm falter.

Change

He didn't know when he started getting butterflies in his stomach every time she passed by and only when Sirius rolled around laughing when he mentioned the strange sensation did he realize it was love – not a hex.

Scowl

James always had a smile for her, so the scowl marring his face was a shock and it did jolt her to wakefulness that maybe her words were hitting below the belt.

Idiot

James had never felt like such an idiot in his whole lifetime. The idea was to humiliate Snape, not kill him!

Siblings

Lily tries to control her tears as she burns the letter from Petunia in her hand. Glancing across the common room, she sees Black and Potter and envies them their brotherhood.

Convincing oneself

He woos her and she tries to tell herself that its only some sort of prank, that he's not serious. She does it to save herself the pain when it turns out to be one massive joke.

She rejects him and he tries to tell himself that she's in denial, that she's playing with him. He does it to build the courage to ask again and again.

Mudblood

It was the straw to break the camels back, the final drop to overflow the bucket.

Grief

Seeing Potter without the arrogant smile, smirk or whatever else it was that graced his face that made him annoying, turned him from Potter to James. Death really did wonders to deflating an ego.

Not a sacrifice

Lily said "yes" when she realized that going to Hogsmeade with Potter was no longer quite a sacrifice to her precious time.

I have no idea why I wrote this. I'm not exactly a big fan of the James and Lily pairing. My general favorite is the Hermione and Regulus pairing, which is second only to Hermione and Sirius pairing. (Any suggestions on good fanfics on that are rather welcome.)
