Changing Ways
Chapter 1: New Beginnings
A/N : Hey everyone out there reading this story of mine! im really new to this whole fan fiction writing thingy and this is actually my very first story. So I would love to get reviews from anyone, especially advice. I dont know what you guys would rather, short chapters but lots or less chapters with lots of writing, so again reviewing it would help and giving your opinion. Thank you for reading :)
James potter couldn't help but grin as he came down from the air and jumped off his broomstick, a mass of bodies pushing against him and cheering filling his ears. Everywhere he looked there was scarlet and gold. Gryffndor colours. A pair of hands grabbed him from behind and before he could respond a pair of lips met his own. Fireworks erupted in his mind as he slowly opened his eyes, as oxygen became his main priority. James opened his eyes to see a shorter redheaded girl before him. He couldn't believe his eyes, Lily Evans, the girl he had loved since first year had just kissed him, James Potter. He must be dreaming.
He was. James's eyes fluttered open to reveal darkness, to his extreme disappointment he was not at Hogwarts, he had not just won the quidditch cup, and he most definitely did not just get kissed by the one and only, Lily Clare Evans. James had been having dreams like this over the summer ever since 'the incident' which had happened at the end of his fifth year at Hogwarts.
James let out a sigh and rolled over his face ending centimetres away from a pair of grey eyes and a curtain of black hair. Sirius Black let out a chuckle, which progressed into a full own bark like laugh for which he was known well for. "How was Evans tonight eh Prongsie?" Sirius chuckled again and launched himself onto the bed on the other side of the room. Sirius had been staying with James at Potter Mansion ever since he ran away from his own house and family at the start of the summer. Both boys were due to head back to school in a matter of days where they would begin their sixth year in wizarding education.
James ignored Sirius's remark and rolled over again and eventually drifted back into a deep sleep.
Lily Evans awoke to a scratching noise at her bedroom window. She rolled out of bed and fell to the floor, groaning and eventually standing up, lily opened the window to the unfamiliar looking owl. She took the letter and a gasp escaped her lips. It was marked with the Hogwarts crest, it was her OWL results and start of year letter. She read the letter first and there was no surprises just the usual annual letter. Lily reached for the next piece of parchment and held her breath with butterflies fluttering through her stomach.

Lily let out a small squeal of delight after receiving her results, only one E! she quickly rushed to the other side of room and pulled out a new piece of parchment and her favourite quill, she wanted to know the results of her best friends and roommates at Hogwarts, Alice Prewett, Marlene Mckinnon and her closest friend Hestia Jones.
James Potter took the letter from the owl and tore open the envelope, knowing it was his OWL results after reading over Sirius's shoulder at his best mates results, now it was time for his own.
