Chapter One: Dear Prongs, from Doe.
It was sixth year for James Potter and he was head over heels in-love with a certain blossom. However the flower was unsure if Potter was really in-love with her. She had no more pieces of her heart to lose. Her life became traumatic with the rise of 'he-who-must-not-be-named'. (try getting that on a personalized license plate) Her mother died of caner and her father had a heart condition. It was only a matter of time before her father would died. Last summer she lost her best friend to the dark lord. Many students and their families were killed during the summer. And so begins their sixth year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witch craft. Once again they enter the hall to learn to protect them selves.
However one thing they were never taught was how to mend a broken heart.
This was the year for James to change for Lily Evans, he knew it to after he had a fight with Snape at the end of last year everything changed. She was angry with him, where before they were friends and he had a chance at her heart. At last James ruined it by fighting with the elder Slytherin who was one grade above them. Most of all he hated that he tutored his Lily Evans.
Lily however was falling for James, but her heart was in so many pieces she was scared. After her best friend was killed her sister grew even worst to talk to and be around. She would tell Lily it was because she was a freak and she was glad they were disappearing. She was also scared to what would happen to her if she was with Potter. It was during a full night everything changed for Lily. It was the night after her friend Barbara's funeral. She stayed outside by the grave yard in deep thought.
It was that night Lily discovered a hidden truth about James Potter and Remus Lupin forever would change her heart towards him. That night she heard a scream and ran into the woods not knowing it was the howl of a wolf. It was when she seen the boy who confused her turn into a giant Stag and fight the werewolf. Unnoticed she watched as they ran through the woods that night and as they returned to a small house latter the next morning as Remus and James torn bruised but smiling. That is when she over-heard Remus thanking Potter for coming to spend time with him. She was never seen that night, but she seen enough to know who James Potter really was. That is when she began her plan to gain his heart fully.
And so it begins…
"Dearest Prongs,
I was quiet moved by your majestic ways as a stag. For you do not know who I am, yet you do. I have never been so scared to have my heart broken then by you. At last I assure you I am not in your fan club nor attend any meetings of the sort. However I would like to meet you the 2nd Thursday night after classes begin outside of the broom-shed on the field.
Hopelessly yours, Doe."
James stared at the letter oddly. It was the third day of class and someone knew he was illegally transforming into a Stag without a license. Things couldn't get worse for the seventeen year old. Oh yes it could Lily Evans across the table hadn't looked into his eyes the last few days and he hoped she forget about the incident at the end of last year with Snape. And now he thought he was being blackmailed.
"You think if you don't go they will turn you in?" asked Sirius who read the letter. Remus was nervous as well looking around to see if anyone was watching them. However no one was acting out of character today during breakfast. "I am so sorry James." said Remus sinking down in his seat. James looked over and noticed he wasn't eating and frown some. "Don't worry about this, who ever it is will wish they never messed with us." he said softly.
"Maybe it's Snape." muttered Pete who was then whacked over the head by Sirius.
"It looks like a love letter though." said Sirius reading the note. "I mean it has to be a girl, now if we can figure out who wrote it." Sirius sighed and noticed Lily was by herself at lunch. "I'll be back you guys. No worries I will put in a good word for you James." he said walking towards Lily.
Lily looked up when she noticed Sirius next to her. "Hello." she said looking up.
"Sorry about Barbara, but where is Alice?" he asked. Lily pointed towards the raven-claw table and to Frank Longbottom. "Oh." he said softly. "Bummer." he said looking at her.
"She will be back for lunch and dinner to eat with me, no biggy." she said rubbing her eyes.
"When did she die?" he asked looking at Lily she frown some looking at Sirius.
"A week after school ended. Her aunt wrote to me." she frown looking back at her eggs. "I hate this, six years ago I was so happy to be something special and now I am afraid." she sighed looking at Sirius. "I know you liked her as well." he nodded some.
"Well, I never had the guts to let her know and I will never have a second chance." he paused looking back at his friends. "I am afraid that will happen to me to." she sighed looking over at Alice who waved to her, she smiled back some.
"Remus was neighbor's with her family you know." said Sirius. "Well, they lived several houses away." he sighed some and looked at Lily. "Can I ask you a question?" she asked looking around.
"Yeah." said Sirius curious now. "Why does he bully others even older wizards?" she asked looking into Sirius' brown eyes.
"I don't always know myself." he replied. "I wish he didn't." she frown some and sat up. "I am not feeling well, I will see you in potions with Slughorn." she said walking out of the hall. James watched her as she passed him by he turned and noticed Snape was watching her walk out as well across the room. He glared at Snape who noticed James and hide under his book again.
"Well, she is upset over Barbara still." said Sirius sitting down.
"Did she say anything about me?" asked James batting his eyes. Sirius laughed as did Remus.
"Oh you missed it when you were talking with Lily, James was on about this Doe character."
"Sorry to interrupt Remus, but what did she say?" James said butting in.
"She said she didn't understand why you bully other wizards even older ones. I told her I didn't know myself, then she brought up Barbara and the funeral. Then she ran off, she's taking it hard." Sirius paused some.
"So she is really torn up over that?" James asked Sirius who nodded in responds.
"That and her other friend is over with Longbottom, while she get over her best friends' death alone. I guess her sister was mean about it as well." James spit out his juice at that point.
"Hey!"
"Sorry Pete. What do you mean, she has a sister?" James questioned.
"Yes, she does Prongs." said Remus unrolling the daily prophet.
"When that happen?" he asked.
"Probably three years before she was born I assume." said Remus snickering Sirius laughed a bit to.
During potions James twiddled on the desk stick figures of him and Lily and wrote her named continuously again and again instead of taking notes. 'Lily Potter, Lillian Potter, Lily Evans-Potter, Mrs. James Potter, Madam Potter, Lady Potter of Godric, Mrs. Prongs, L.P. Mrs. L Potter, Mrs. L Evans-Potter'. he sighed looking up across the class seeing Lily sitting with Alice and an empty chair next to her on the other side. He turned his head and looked around and noticed seven empty chairs in their class, most pure-blooded witches and wizards few Muggle-born or half blooded.
He sighed returning to the letter from Doe. And wondered who this person was and how they found out about him.
"Dear Doe,
If that is your real name!
I do not know who you are however I will not allow you to take advantage of your knowledge and use it to black mail me. However My heart can only belong to one girl. Unfortunately your fascination with me is only that. However I will meet you next Thursday as you requested.
Not yours Prongs."
He snickered re-reading his responds to the Doe person. He rolled up his letter and left with the rest of the class. It was a free period after Slughorn's class. So he decided to find Lily and spend time with her. He knew she was a creature of habit and knew she spent her free time out side reading. After placing his things back in his dorm he went to find his Flower. He walked out side to see other students engaging in conversations some studying, reading or just laying down in the end of the summers' sun. He walked out in his invisibility cloak to watch her as he would and admire her.
He walked to where Lily was and seen her talking with Snape, this made him angry.
"Just go away." he heard her tell the Slytherin.
"I just wanted to apologize for last year and what I said to you that day." Snape muttered.
"Look, you made it clear what you think about me. I heard you everyone did. I can not forget being called a name like that by anyone." she said sternly back.
"If Potter wasn't there things would have been different." he responded.
"This has nothing to do with him. Snape, I do not feel anything for you, I can't especially now!" she said glaring.
"We were so close last year." Snape said touching her shoulders she pulled away. "Don't even try that, you were my tutor because I was behind after my mom died. Slughorn only did that because I am his favorite student." she said frustrated. "Look, this is my last year here. I haven't had the best five years since Potter came here." Lily glared at him and tried to grab something away from him.
"Just give it back and leave me alone, please." she said. James who was watching new if he un-cloaked himself she would be angry at him for first fighting with Snape then stalking her.
"I won't give back your damn letter until you tell me why you don't like me and don't tell me it is because of last year!" he yelled. Lily glared at the taller boy with tears forming.
"You want to know why Snape. I will tell you first of all that letter is from someone I love, that is not you. Now give me back my damn letter!" she yelled.
"From some Muggle? Some weakling, you know that will only end you up like your friend Smith! I take it back you are a Mud. Blood." That was not the best thing for him to say to Lily at that moment. Snape noticed the look on her face and was glad at her reaction he then did something worse he crumbled up her letter and throw it. "You jerk! Eatenus Equus dung!" (eat horse shit- it's Latin ) she yelled pointing her wand. She ran grabbed her letter and ran to the castle in tears as Snap fell over throwing up.
Latter at lunch Lily was sitting with Alice when professor McGonagall approached her. "Mrs. Evans I have a detention for you." she said holding out a blue piece of paper. Lily paled some. "For what?" asked Alice eyeing Lily. "Miss Evans placed a spell on Mr. Snape during her free period ending him in the hospital." she said looking at the blonde. "That is not possible." James piped in a few feet away. "Lily spent her free period going over with me her notes from Potions. I was not paying attention and she was helping me."
Lily's eyes widen some looking at James in shock. "It is true. I was being helped as well." said Peter piping in. McGonagall looked at them then at Lily who was pale. "Then do you know who placed the spell on Snape?" she asked. "He did it to himself." said Remus piping in. "How was that possible Mr. Lupin." she asked folding her arms. "He was trying to jinx Peter again and I did a counter curse on him." said Remus. James looked at Remus who gave him a smile. "Mr. Lupin fighting is against the school rules." she said sternly.
"Technically it wasn't fighting since I was protecting Peter." said Remus looking at the teacher.
Lily thanked the boys and told them she would of excepted the punishment then left the hall embarrassed. "So what did happen James?" asked Remus.
"Snape called her a mud blood then she cursed him." he sighed some. "I think she is dating someone, when I was watching them she had a letter in her hands Snape look it away from her and was going off on her." he sighed more. "She said it was from someone she loved." he looked at Sirius who was in deep thought.
"Maybe it was from her friend who was killed?" he suggested. "I know she would of told me if she was dating someone, well to keep you from killing them." he smirked at James. James sighed some and looked over at Alice who was sitting alone now. He walked over and sat in front of her. She looked up with an odd look on her face.
"Potter."
"Jones."
"What do you want?" she asked eyeing him. "I am not stealing any articles of clothing of Lily's for you."
"No, I just wanted to know one thing." he said. Alice held out her hand, James frown some and placed a Gallon in her palm. "Is Lily dating anyone?" he asked.
"No." she said standing up.
"Wait!" she turned and looked at him.
"What now Potter?" she asked.
"Does Lily like me?" he asked her, Alice held out her hand and held up three fingers on the other hand. James grabbed three coins from his pocket. Alice eyed them then looked at James and smiled.
"Yes she likes you, and have; however! She thinks your just up to prank her and break her heart as a joke." she said glaring at him. "If you do hurt Lily I assure you, you do not have enough money to stop me from hurting you back. Got it!" James nodded as Alice walked out of the hall.
"Dear Prongs,
I think what you did for Evans today was quiet noble in deed. However stalking her under your cloak is not a wise thing either. I assure you she probably knows you have already. However I can not wait to see you I have a surprise for you.
I honestly think you would like me when you find out who I am. I really do.
On another note I do know things about Lily Evans that her friend Alice doesn't know. The fight with Snape she had a letter from a boy who goes to school here. She does fancy him, not even Alice knows this. She however worries that you would ruin the chance she has with him. She is also worried you would hurt her as well. She doesn't want to hurt you either.
My heart though belongs to you. I didn't want you to have it, but it is yours.
Till Thursday, Doe."
James read the letter again was more angry who ever this person was knew too much about him. It was Thursday night and he re-read the letter again, he had not sent a reply yet. It was getting close to the time to meet the Doe person he was curious who it was. So he left in his cloak to the field to meet the person by the broom-shed. He paused seeing no one and un-cloaked himself. He had his wand out just incase it was someone trying to trick him.
After ten minutes he heard a noise. He looked up and seen a Red deer approaching him. He blinked a few times weird-ed out by this. The female deer stopped in front of him. He noticed the deer had a note in it's mouth. He took the note and read it.
"Prongs,
I will tell you who I am, the catch is-
Catch me first-
Doe"
James looked up and the deer was running. He blinked a few times. He the started to run then transformed into a stag and darted after the deer. He was surprised how fast the deer was he smirked a bit have fun with this person whom ever it was. They had stopped at the lake. James (Prongs) was looking at Doe, but even though this was a deer he felt like he was cheating on Lily. He walked closer to the deer his hooves hit the rocks. He was inches away from finding out who this person was then, he fell hard.
James transformed back as a human when the water hit his body. He gasped for air when he came up. He looked up and seen the deer looking quiet amused at him. He noticed something about the deer's eyes. Before he was standing up the deer was gone. He looked around soaking wet to the woods and seen nothing. "Damnit!" he yelled kicking the water. The Doe person got away right before he got them.
Still wet James made it to the broom-shed and picked up his wand and headed back to his dorm. He was mostly upset that the person still knew his secret was out there. This person knew his secrets and too much. "Your late." he looked up and seen Lily with another perfect standing in the stair way. "Sorry Potter." he heard Longbottom say to him. "Were going to have to take points away." he said writing down something on a notepad.
"Did anyone come in here before me?" he asked Lily raised her eyebrow and looked at Frank. "No, Potter no one, but you." he said rolling his eyes.
"hey Evans, if your not busy this Saturday do you want to got o Hogsmeade with me?" he asked.
"I can't James, even if I wanted to I am going home Friday my dad had another heart-attack today and I won't be able to go. Sorry." she said looking at him.
"Why are you wet?" asked Frank.
James looked down embarrassed he forgot of his state. "I went for a night's swim." he said grinning lopsided. Lily laughed a little smiling at him. Frank rolled his eyes some. "Go up to your dorm Potter." he said pointing the direction. James walked up the steps and turned to look at Lily who was watching him. She smiled at him he smiled back , she then blushed and ran off to where Frank left her in the hall.
"You know Lily, you are the strangest friend I have ever had." said Frank walking with her.
"How so?" she asked.
"Just with these games of yours." she smiled some and looked up at Frank and placed a finger on her lip laughing some.
James was greeted by his friends in his dorm. "Prongs!" cried Sirius hugging him. "I missed you, oh your wet!" he yelled backing up some. James laughed a bit and nodded. "Oh an Owl came for you with your cloak and another letter." said Remus handing him the package. James blinked remembering he left his cloak out side.
He sat on his bed and opened the note up and read it.
"Prongs,
Thank you for spending tonight with me. It helped me forget the pain for a while. I wish to continue this friendship, from one Doe to a Stag. I wish one night to run with you and your friends to keep your friend company. Let me know if I could ever join you during the full moon.
With love your Doe."
James closed the letter smiled some. "What is it James?" asked Sirius.
"I don't know." he said. "So what about this Doe?" asked Peter.
"I think I have a secret friend." he said smiling, "Another person to join us during a full moon." Remus looked at James then the note then again at James.
"Your not in-love with his Doe are you?" asked Remus. James shock his head 'no'. "I don't think Doe is that old, she's a small deer, has red fur, a white under-belly. I am going to take a shower." said James walking towards the bathroom door.
"Oh did you see Evans?" asked Sirius looking at James.
"Oh yeah I did she took away house points she caught me, see you in a few." he said closing the door.
"Funny Lily has duty on Monday nights, not Thursday." said Remus smirking some.
"Should we tell him?" asked Sirius. Remus chuckled some. "No."
"Funny thing about the map, when you transform you take the name of your animal form, funny huh pad foot." Sirius smirked some. "Yeah it is funny Moony."
"What is funny?" asked Peter confused.
"Nothing."
"Dear Doe,
My Deer I did have fun, however we must only be friends, my human and stag heart will always belong to Miss. Lily Evans. I would like for you to join us on the next full moon next Saturday, it seems okay with the others.
Till then Your Stag Prongs."
"Who's that from dear?" asked Mr. Evans. Lily looked up at her father. "Oh a school-mate." she replied smiling. He smiled some looking at her. "Thank you for coming to see me my dear." she smiled at her father who laid in bed in a small hospital room. "I wouldn't manage if I hadn't come to see you." she said smiling.
"So was the letter from a boy?" asked her father trying to lighten up the mood.
"Yes, he is quiet a- deer father himself." she said smiling.
"Oh that is good, do you think I could ever meet this boy?" he asked. Lily thought for a moment.
"I hope so- I mean he isn't my boyfriend. I just want to be careful you know." Lily looked up when she felt her father's hand on hers. "Lily, sometimes you have to take a chance. We can't keep being in fear from what we don't know. Of all things never fear the possibility of being loved even if it is for a moment of time."
