Disclaimer: Wow, it would be great to own Harry Potter and all other related characters, but sadly, I don't.
Rating: This story is rated T for some mild adult content in later chapters and some possible mild language.
modrocker423: Hey everybody! So this is the first Lily and James story that I've ever written. I started posting it on another website a long time ago, so I have around fourteen chapters finished. I thought I might give the story a shot over here. Just to warn you though, the first few chapters might seem a bit short, but I promise you they get longer later.
Enjoy!

Chapter One: Second Guesses
Lily Evans sighed to herself as she admired her reflection in the elegant mirror in front of her. She saw a slender twenty year old young lady staring back at her through beautiful emerald green eyes. Her flaming red hair that reached the small of her back was loosely curled and delicately pulled back with a satin light green bow, leaving a few slightly curled strands of her auburn hair to form around her face. She had on light makeup that brought our her stunning green eyes.
But what really caught Lily's attention was the dress she was wearing. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. The dress was made of satin and tied around the back of her neck. It clung to her curves nicely on top and flowed down to the ground. The dress gradually changed from a lovely pale green at the top to a magnificent emerald green at the bottom. Several flowers were embroidered at the hem of the dress in the same pale green color from the top of the dress.
Lily spun around in a circle, making her dress twirl around with her, and giggled. Today was the most important day of her life...it was the day...her wedding day. Lily stopped spinning in circles and looked at herself in the mirror again, although this time without really seeing herself. Thoughts about the wedding flooded her mind. Was it too early to get married? Were things moving too fast?
"Of course not," Lily muttered to herself, shaking her head slightly to clear her thoughts.
"Of course not what, Lily?" a voice issued from the doorway. Lily started and turned, only to see her best friend and maid of honor, Molly Prewett, standing in the doorway smiling at her.
"Molly, you scared me! I didn't see you there," Lily replied, her voice slightly breathless still from being frightened.
"Did I scare you that bad?" Molly asked in rather a joking manner. Lily smiled, which Molly returned as she entered the room and hugged Lily. After breaking away from the hug, Molly held Lily out at arms length to examine her.
"Look at you, Lily! You look gorgeous!" she exclaimed.
"Thanks," Lily replied, blushing slightly before looking down at the ground. For some reason, Lily didn't feel all that happy anymore. Molly noticed this.
"Lily, what's wrong?" she asked, observing her concernedly. A silence followed her remark as Lily continued looking down at the ground. "Silence won't help, Lily. Besides, you know I'll get it out of you one way or another," Molly pressed. Lily smiled slightly at her remark and looked up.
"Ok, it's just that I'm having second thoughts about this wedding. What if he's just not the right guy to marry? Or what if this is all happening too quickly? I mean, we did only date through our seventh year at Hogwarts and a year after that, but what if-" Lily started to blurt out until Molly cut her off.
"Don't you start second guessing yourself, Lily. You two are the perfect couple. It's as though you two were made for each other!"
"You think so?" Lily asked timidly.
"I know so," Molly responded, a smile returning to her face. Lily returned the smile and felt her moods soar again. Her thoughts returned to the wedding. She quivered with excitement at the thought that she would be married in less than an hour...to James Potter.
