A/N: Here it is, He Has Green Eyes renamed, rewritten and a ton better! I went back and read this story, and I was like whoa, this is terrible. So I changed it, and I hope this one is a lot better than the last version. The old version is now Chapter 2, and basically the same story. I suggest you don't read it and forget the story was ever that terrible :P
He has green eyes, just like his mother. They were the same rare shade of emerald green, outlined by lopsided lids that pinched in just a little too much on the corners. Perfectly shaped eyebrows arced above them. They had the same color, the same shape, so when I gazed in his eyes, why could I never see Lily looking back at me? Was it the difference in expressions?
When he was angry, his eyes practically glowed. They reflected a rage that could burn down the world, damning everyone to an existence of despair and hate. When Lily was angry, her eyes smoldered like embers. His eyes looked like twin Killing Curses, piercing through you and ripping your soul to shreds.
When he was sad, his eyes became a depressing dull veil of green. The special emerald sheen faded away, leaving something painfully colorless. When Lily was sad, her eyes would swell with tears, and they would glint and sparkle. His eyes became clouded with guilt and despair. It drowned the life out of his gaze, leaving a wasteland behind.
When he was hiding something, his eyes would glaze over like green granite. In rare moments, one could practically see the secrets in the depths of his eyes, lurking behind the fortress. When Lily was hiding something, her eyes would widen, becoming perfectly round. She would blink at you, feigning confusion in those emerald eyes. His eyes were carefully guarded, everything hidden behind those two impenetrable blocks of granite.
He has green eyes, like his mother. They are the same shape, the same color. They function the same way. So why can I never see Lily reflected in them? Was it the glasses? James's glasses that obscured Lily's eyes and changed them so dramatically? Every time I stared in his eyes, all I could think was why? Why were they so different? Day after day, year after year, the answer still evaded me. Why doesn't he have his mother's eyes?
