James Potter - A Diary.
Dear diary. September 1st Hogwarts train.
I could never really say what I needed to around her, she was so different. The way she looked at everyone, nothing bad, she always looked at the beautiful things about people. Well except for me of course. My name is James Potter and I love Lily Evans. I've felt this way for just about seven years now. Why haven't I given up you ask? Well. Truthfully I don't even know my self there's just something about her fiery red hair and those eyes. I just cant seem to make myself forget her.
For some 'unknown' reason I always seem to make a prat of myself in front of her! This year is going to be different I can feel it (even though this is the sixth time I've said this). God, what would mine and Padfoot's fan club say? The famous James Potter, having girl problems… I don't even get it myself why she doesn't fall for my charms.
Everybody who's in Griffindor will definitely know how much me and Lily-Flower fight, its unnatural. Pig-headed? I call that proud. Padfoot and Mooney have no idea why I'm still stuck on her, though Mooney tends to give me more advice. The plan for this year is to calm down, no more pranks on Snivellus (I don't know how I'm goint to pull that one off…), and stop asking her out every single second of the day as that's not working. I cant see this actually working but hey, its my last chance. I don't even date anymore, well since fifth year. hasn't she noticed! I don't really know what Wormtail thinks, he's a follower not a leader…
that's why I'm writing in this so called diary right now, I'm going to call it Lily Watch, as she is all I talk about anyway - everybody's sick of me. Will she notice that I'm different this year? She has to. I'm not going to live without her, I know that. Its going to be one hell of a last year, and I'll need you're help along with Padfoot, Mooney and Wormtail.
Well I'm going to have one of my many Lily daydreams now, I've missed her so much this summer. I wonder if she's been thinking about me? She finally has to accept that deep down she does infact love me too, I just have the impossible job of trying to make her see this. I know I can do it, I owe it to all my other female fans because I've been telling them that I belong with Lily ignoring all those longing and disbelieving looks that nearly everyone gives me, even Minnie (Prof. Mcgonagall) and all the other professors know that I've been after her, well, for nearly the whole of my life, since I was 11! Something's got to give.
James Potter.
