Disclaimer : I don't down the characters or Avril's Lyrics, only the plot's mine. So basically how they got together, my version, enjoy, R&R.

From James' PoV

I James Potter, came from a Pure-blood family, but my family didn't believe in all that Pure-blood ideology and didn't think of Muggles as beneath us or primitives. We treated them with respect and politeness or so I thought. Even though I was constantly using magic, I was open-minded to the Muggles' ways. I didn't sneer at them condescendingly or anything else like that. At least, that was what I felt about myself and thought about myself. My mum and dad were loving and cared about me a lot as ever since I was a toddler.

Growing up as a child, I was pampered a lot by my pure-blood parents since they made a lot of money and I couldn't picture my life without them. I had an easy life at home, but I never forgot my magical roots and everything was enchanted in my house and furnished with advanced Charms I was eager to learn at Hogwarts. So when I got my admission letter, I couldn't be more excited than I was as a young boy, I yelled at my parents, shocking them to death while they were slightly slumbering during the day:

"Hey, mum, dad I got my letter from Hogwarts, I really got it!" But mum and dad didn't reproach a thing to me about waking them up because I was a young boy then and I already had poor eyesight, and this was something that even magic couldn't fix unfortunately. So they both said happily for me :

"Congratulations son, but you knew this was coming, you're a Wizard!"

"Yes I know dad, thanks for reminding me. So when are we going to shop for my clothing and other things in Diagon Alley?"

"We can go now if you got nothing to do."

"I want to go now please, mum."

And both my parents Apparated me in Diagon Alley with them, walking from shop to shop. First I got into Madam Malkins' Robes for all Occasions, and the clerk said kindly to my dad:

"He'd be in Gryffindor, your son, Mr. Potter, I can foresee it."

"Well, I hope so because I don't want to buy the wrong clothes for my only son. I don't him to end up in the wrong house either."

"Oh, I'm sure he won't, he's such a brave little thing."

I hated being called little, so I stomped my feet and said back to the lady :

"I'm not little, I'm eleven now, and I can go to Hogwarty Hogwarts." This made the Madam chuckle a bit and she didn't mind me since I was a child, though a terribly spoiled one. How spoiled I was I didn't know until I met Lily Evans Potter, the little girl who'd turn my life upside down.

"So, here's all your clothing and your supplies, where do you want to stop next?" asked dad.

"I want to stop at the Leaky Cauldron and have some butterbeers there with you before I go to school."

"You can't have butterbeer, you're too little for that."

"Pumpkin juice then, mummy, pretty please?" I begged her and she finally nodded.

And so this was what I had done of my boyhood life before going on the Platform 9 and 3/4 and boarding the train and meeting her, the woman I'd spend the rest of my life with. Sadly, the girl I found pretty at Kingscross was busy with another guy : greasy-haired, snivelly and everything else. I instantly disliked him and thought : how dare he be with my girl? In my youn mind, my Lily Flower was already mine. But boy was I wrong when I offered to buy her some foods from the trolley when her other friend was gone :

"Who are you? Are you a Pure-Blood?"

"Why yes, I am a Pure-Blood, but I don't believe in that, you know. What's your name?" She didn't even deign to answer me. Sad, feeling rejected, I went back in my own compartment with my friends : Sirius Black, Petter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin. Though sad said girl didn't answer me, I still reflected on the instant friends I made : the jokester and sarcastic Sirius Black, the quiet Petter and the secretive Remus. I knew he had a big big secret hiding inside of him and I couldn't put my finger on exactly what, though I'd find out precisely what later on in my years at school when my friendship with him would tighten. But now I was talking to them about the beautiful red-hair I met at King's Cross and the oily and raven black guy she was with with my newly-made friends :

"So say Sirius, why didn't that girl speak to me?"

"I don't know, James, she just might not be interested in you, you know."

"But I'm the best-looking guy in the whole school and I'm a Pure-Blood."

"What, you care about the Pure-blood thing?"

"No, I don't mean that, Sirry. I just mean I think I'm good enough for her." I didn't realize then how arrogant I just sounded and that was exactly what put her off.

"Maybe you're a tad too self-loving?" risked the usually calm Petter.

"That must be it."

"But yeah, listen to me, mate, don't pursue her tirelessly when she's not interested. Do so when she's into you." advied my good friend Remus. I knew this was sound advice, but my heart wouldn't listen, so I pursued her regardless all year long and maybe my 3 friends were right, that was my mistake. I should have left her alone and dated other girls instead. But my heart and my mind just couldn't do it. It was like I wasn't in control of my own feelings when I was around her. Chatting with them about the girl of my dreams made my forget about the time, and soon we got to the Castle. It wasn't like anything I've seen before, the grounds, the forbidden forest and half-giant yelling :

"First years, first years, come with me!"

I listened to the guide and got to the Great Hall. Later on, I got sorted into Gryffindor as I and my dad wished, so I didn't disappoint him in that. And the girl I had an eye on also got into Gryffindor :

"Lily Evans, Gryffindor!"

I clapped and congratulated her when she went to the Gryffindor table, but she didn't return my enthusiasm. What did she see wrong with me anyways? I was good-looking, nice, gentlemanly and everything a girl could desire. And from that moment on, I asked her out on several dates and wouldn't stop asking her until my 3rd year, and she'd always decline my warm invitation coldly :

"No Potter, I don't trust nor your friends. I don't want to be the laughingstock at our dates." This was her cold response in my 3rd year. So in whole 3 years, I incessantly asked her out on dates, insisting on giving her gifts, but anonymously of course, I never dared to sign my name.

Although Lily Evans Potter, the stunning and svelte red-haired girl and mature for her age turned me, James Potter down, I had friends of my own and each of swore to be like brothers to each other at Hogwarts. Each of us chose a nickname, I was Prongs, Sirius was Padfoot, Remus was Moony and Petter Wormtail and said :

"I Prongs of the Marauders, swear to be a brother to Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail."

"I Padfoot of the Marauders, swear to be a brother to Prongs, Moony and Wormtail."

"I Moony of the Marauders, swear to be a brother to Prongs, Padfoot and Wormtail." I saw Wormtail hesitate a bit and so I asked him :

"What's wrong, say it?"

And he did :

"I Wormtail, swear to be a brother to Prongs, Padfoot and Moony."

And then I made the Marauders' map, which allowed me to ambush and follow Lily Evans, the flower girl of my dreams and my hearts' desire. Since I descended from the very Pure-Blood and noble Peverell family, I inherited the invisibility cloak as well, so I followed her around and she didn't notice a thing, or so I thought myself.

In my 3rd year now, I was still a boy, so I couldn't know if my feelings for her were just a momentary passion, or was it truly love and care I felt for her? Maybe that was why she didn't return my feelings.
