"You make me SICK."

These words that had been shouted across the grounds that one day after owls still rolled around in James Potter's head, giving him an uneasy feeling in the bottom of his stomach. They constantly reminded him that his newfound friendship with Lily Evans was a very, very precious thing and he would do well to remember how she used to see him; as an arrogant bullying toe-rag.

Tale as old as time

True as it can be

Barely even friends

Then somebody bends

Unexpectedly

He had really though hard about Lily Evens during that summer and he began to deflate his ego and lay off hexing people just for the fun of it, yes even old Snivily; well, now that only happened on special occasions, but that was beside the point. He had wanted to change for her. Moony had rolled his eyes and muttered 'finally' when he told his friends of his plan and that gave him confidence because well, Lily actually talked to Moony.

Just a little change

Small to say the least

Both a little scared

Neither one prepared

Beauty and the Beast

She was amazed at the change in James Potter, Lily reflected as she sat under the huge tree by the edge of the lake. Her friend Remus had always said that under the arrogance James was a good guy but the fiery red-head only was just beginning to believe him. At the beginning of the year had been furious when she had found out that James had been made Head Boy but now she could see why. James really was the funny, caring, responsible guy Remus had always said he was. She had just never taken the time to look past the arrogance before.

Ever just the same

Ever a surprise

Ever as before

Ever just as sure

As the sun will rise

Their friendship blossomed and by April they were inseparable. But one night as they were sitting together in the head's common room reading, James was being very fidgety and running his hands through his hair, a trait, Lily now knew, he possessed to be a nervous habit.

"James what's wrong?" she finally asked

"I...um…well…nothing Lily," he stammered, turning red.

Lily smiled and closed her book and sitting forward toward him, "Of course it's something, I can tell. What's bothering you?"

"Well I, I'm trying to figure how to ask someone something very important." James replied running a hand through his hair again.

"Most of the time when I have to ask someone something important I just come right out and ask them." Lily supplied, attempting to be helpful. "Does that help?"

James nodded and dropped his gaze to his hands. Lily sat back and made to open her book again when James spoke.

"Lily, will you go out with me?"

Tale as old as time

Tune as old as song

Bittersweet and strange

Finding you can change

Learning you were wrong

Lily fingers paused in their movements over the pages of her book and she looked up at James. Her eyes sought his to see if he was serious and she could tell he was.

"James, I…" Lily trailed off, James had completely caught her off guard with the question and while she couldn't't deny she was beginning to have feelings for him that could possibly extend beyond friendship she was not at all expecting the question to come.

A dejected look passed across James' face for less than an instant and he shook his head and got to his feet, "I know, I know…No Potter. Sorry, it just sort of slipped out, I'll go now."

He began to walk toward the door and the feelings that swooped through Lily as she watched him walk away with that crestfallen look to him answered his question in her heart.

"James! Wait!" She called after him, her book falling to the floor as she jumped to her feet.

James turned around to look at her, a blazing look in his eyes. "Yeah?"

"I think," Lily said slowly, looking up at him, "I think I'd like that."

Certain as the sun

Rising in the east

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Beauty and the Beast

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Beauty and the Beast
