Chapter One.

Lily Evans was quite bored, having been dragged to a "Spin the Bottle Party" in the Astronomy tower, which so happened to begin at three o'clock in the morning. She was forced to attend the said party by her two best friends in order to celebrate the beginning of their seventh and final year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She would have much rather been in her little cozy bed up in Gryffindor Tower, thank you very much. "Come on Lily! Everyone who's anyone will be there!" Alice Samson had pleaded. "The only reason we were invited because James is oh so deeply in love with you." Rose McKinnon had added jokingly.

James Potter had to be one of the strangest creatures she had ever come in contact with in her seventeen years of existence. He was arrogant and annoying and idiotic and frustrating…and attractive and brave and sweet and funny. But most of all James Potter was persistent. At the beginning of James and Lily's first year at school James had her to eat lunch with him, she might have said yes if she hadn't caught him hexing her best friend at the time, Severus Snape, a few hours before. To her dismay James was not the kind of boy who took no for an answer and because of this he had asked her to: lunches, parties, Hogsmead trips and to his home over breaks multiple times a day for the next few years. He even tried asking her to study with him (and James Potter never studied).

However, during the first three months of their seventh year Lily had noticed a change in James. He was…she couldn't exactly put her finger on the change but he was definitely different. He was still playful and funny but at the same time he was more mature and aware of other people's feelings. She was actually beginning to think of him as a friend and maybe something more, which was a sure sign that Hell was beginning to freeze over. On top of all this (to Lily's delight, dismay and confusion) he had only asked her out once since the year had started and it was not his normal "Evans, go out with me?" A few days before the previously mentioned party James had came up to her and asked if he could have a word in private.

"Lily," he began after he finally finished pacing back and forth. "I…I…think I'm going to be sick."

"Is that what you wanted to tell me James? I can accompany you to the nurse's office if you'd like." She replied obviously confused.

"No that's not it, this is just really hard for me to say." James took a deep breath and said, "Iloveyou."

"Wha…What was that?" a part of Lily hoped she heard him correctly.

"I love you and I have since I met you. I love everything about you. I love your hair and your eyes and your mind and your kind heart and your personality and your temper. I love how when you really concentrating you stick out your tongue. I love how when you smile I want to smile too. And when your hurt or upset I want to find whatever did that to you and break it into a thousand little pieces. I'm not the same boy who I once was, I've changed for you Lily. I'm a better man because of you Lily Evans and I want to be with you every single day for the rest of forever. I will never ever hurt you. If I ever do I'll hex myself into oblivion. I'd deserve it if I ever make you cry. I would be honored if you would at least consider going out with me. Please Lily, just think about it. If you say no I'll leave you alone and never ask you ask you out again. Just please consider it. I'm begging you."

And with that he said good-bye telling her to tell him her answer once she'd thought about it, as of she could do anything but think about it. Lily was confused to say the least. He was James Freaking Potter for crying out loud! He was the boy who made all of the toilets explode on the fifth floor. He was the very same boy who used to hex anyone who so much as looked as him wrong. What if he was lying? What if he really didn't love her and was just trying to make her another notch in his bed post? What if he was just trying to get her, the only girl who ever told her no. But he had seemed so sincere though. When he was telling her that he loved her she actually believed him. There was something in his eyes that had told her he meant what he was saying.

And so here Lily was sitting in a circle made of 40 seventh years from all for houses playing Spin the Bottle as she attempted to discreetly watch the boy who loved her. She was surprised to feel a huge twinge of jealousy as Peggy Swanson, a pretty blonde from Slytheren, shoved her tongue down James' throat. All to soon it was her turn and she not so discreetly try to duck out.

"Not so fast dearest Lily Flower," Sirius Black, James' best friend had shouted. "It's your turn."

"Oh…You know Sirius I'm really tired. I think I'm just going to head to the tower." I muttered back.

"Oh no no no! We would be lost without your company!" Sirius put his arm through hers and guided/forced her back to the circle. "Stay awhile take your turn and if you still want to leave after you go you can."

With a sigh of defeat I sat and spun the bottle. What if it lands on James? Oh no what if it doesn't? I should've stayed in bed like I wanted! I'm going to kill Alice and Rose for getting me in this mess!

Lily watched the bottle intently and when it stopped she slowly raised her green eyes to the person she would be swapping spit with in the next few moments. She saw his broad shoulders first, then his sharp jaw, next a slightly crooked nose and glasses that his chocolate eyes, and finally messy black hair. It was James.

Lily pushed her long red hair behind her ears and gave James a shy smile which he promptly returned. They both leaned in and it seemed as if it was happening in slow motion not only to James and Lily but also to the 38 on lookers. This was something they had all been waiting to happen for the since their time at Hogwarts began. The room was so silent you could have heard a pin drop. Then, right as their lips were about to meet there was a loud BANG!.

Everyone in the room jumped and looked at the source of the noise. In a far corner of the room stood three teenage girls who looked about 16 years old. The first was tall, around 5'7, and slender with red hair, a ski slope nose and brown eyes. The second had red hair as well but was much shorter than the first, it would be generous to say she was 5'2. Her eyes were green and her smile was mischievous and playful. The third had raven colored hair, steely grey eyes and a smile that was identical to the second girl's. Then all of the sudden the second girl saw Lily and a look of confusion became etched across her face. She stepped forward a few paces as if to get a better look then she stopped dead in her tracks.

"Mum?" she asked. And then, as if she realized what she'd just said, she clamped a slender hand over her mouth.
