"Maybe"
"Maybe"
Summary: Lily Evans is observing James Potter and how much he has changed. Maybe, just maybe, she had come to like James Potter as someone more than a friend. One-shot.
Lily sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall observing James as she fiddled with her food. She was not listening to her friends chatting about random stuff, as she was all too busy taking in everything that had happened over the last year.
She had always hated James Potter. He was always the arrogant, conceited toe-rag who continuously flirted with her. But this year had been so different. James had changed a lot.
A smile made its way onto Lily's face as she took in the new James Potter. Kind, intelligent, charming and playful, but in a sweet way. She loved this new side. And he was very handsome as well, with his jet black messy hair and hazel eyes. Oh dear! Just looking into those beautiful hazel eyes brought butterflies to her stomach. She watched him now as he joked with his fellow Marauders.
Suddenly, Sirius looked up from beside James and saw Lily staring. He grinned at her mischievously, and she looked away blushing. Sirius leaned toward James and whispered something in his ear. James looked at Lily and smiled. Lily looked up in time to see him smiling at her, and she smiled back. Really, it was very hard being James's friend, especially knowing his real feelings for her. And how was she supposed to put up with that dazzling smile that he reserved only for her.
As she was thinking this, the truth dawned upon her. Maybe, just maybe, she had come to like James Potter as someone more than a friend. Maybe she was in love with James Potter.
