James's POV.
'Lily, Lily, where does that name sound familiar' I thought, racking my brain to remember a girl named Lily from school.
"No one actually knows why they're after her." Dumbledore told me. " We think it's because she's muggle-born
'muggle-born, Lily' I remembered vaguely a red headed muggle born, unpopular, to smart for her own good.
"Red Hair, Green Eyes?" I asked.
"That's the one" he replied.
"Has anything happened to her yet, anything strange or dangerous?"
"Not yet, but we are afraid something will. We haven't told her yet; don't want to scare her out of her mind. That's why we hired you to protect her."

Lily's POV
So, so, you reckon You-Know-Who is after me," I stammered, about to cry.
Dumbledore nodded.
I'm guessing he noticed my worried expression, cause he said:
" I have contacted an Auror who is willing to take on the job of guarding you.," he said kindly.
' Please, not Mad-Eye Moody' I though, remembering the only time I had run into the scarred, paranoid, Auror. Just that memory sent chills down my spine.
"James Potter" he said simply. My stomach gave a funny jolt.
"What? James Potter?" I asked, stunned. I had had a crush on him since our second year at Hogwarts.
"Yes, James Potter." He replied.
"Where will he stay?" I asked.
"Well that's another thing I need to talk to you about" He said, "I need to ask you if it would be okay if he stayed with you at you're house?"
'Okay!? That would be more than okay! James Potter would be staying at my house! He would finally notice me! He would finally see that we were perfect for each other, both 19, both smart, and, hopefully, both attracted to each other.'
"Yeah, that would be okay." I said, coolly.
"Okay, he will be there at 11:00 o'clock tomorrow morning" Dumbledore said to me.
"Alright, see you later" I said as I stood up to leave his office.
"Wait, Lily" he added.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Behave yourselves"
"Don't worry, I will" I said.
'NOT!!'
I left his office, smiling, wanting to run down the halls of Hogwarts, yelling loudly, disturbing every class, I was bursting with joy. 'James Potter' I thought, I smile immediately flashed across my face just saying the name.
"James and Lily Potter" I whispered to myself, causing me to start giggling madly.
Little did I know that my whish was about to come true, but at a terrible price?
A.N. A short Ch. We know, but the next Ch. will be up tomorrow. We would love to know what you think of it, and your suggestions on what we can improve on, and what you want to happen. Till tomorrow, see ya.
