Author's Note: I was waiting for my computer to shut down when I thought about this. I've read many how Lily realised that she loved James, and I thought why not give it a shot? This will be a three-shot possibly four, maybe even a five-shot if people want an epilogue. So please Read and Review. I am not J.K.R, my writing skills are not quite there yet, and I make no profit whatsoever from Harry Potter. If only reading the books and watching the movies was a job, I would be so rich. Anyway first chapter is now here for you to read.

P.S. The story is in Lily's Point of View unless otherwise specified and it takes place in the Summer Holidays after Sixth Year, and just before 7th Year.

I was lying awake in my bed at home everyone was asleep to my knowledge, I don't think that Petunia even knows that I'm here; she's always either locked up in her bedroom, doing who knows what or with her absolutely awful fiancée, Vernon, (or as I like to call him; The Walrus) they're getting married next summer. I'm only invited because Mum made Petunia invite me. I don't particularly want to go, but I'm still related to her via blood and so I'll go, plus Dad's going to need someone to distract him from The Walrus' family. As for Mum and Dad, they're fine, but they can see that I worry about them, it's hard not, I mean Voldemort attacks and kills muggles just for the fun of it. He has already shown an interest in me, what if he hurts them or kills them to get to me?

I couldn't sleep, thoughts loomed around my head: When will the war be over? Will I live to see the end of the war? Will my family and friends survive? How was I to know that this one sleepless night would eventually cause me to realise that I loved James Potter?

Over the next few days I helped with the arrangements for Petunia and The Walrus' wedding, when needed and I also helped Dad fix the car in the garage. It was on Sunday that I realised my feelings for James, and it all started with a letter from Remus and James that said:

Dear Lily,
Sorry for the lack of correspondence, Sirius, James and I are all at James' place, for the summer. I hope you're doing well. Last night was my "time of the month" and I thought that I should tell you that I didn't attack anyone (luckily). We got cornered the other day by some Death Eaters, and came out barely scraped. I say that because Sirius tripped over a rock on the way back to James' place. James wants me to say hi to you from him, and that we all miss you. Padfoot is coming up the stairs, I need to finish the letter here, Sorry!
Write Back Soon Lily,
Remus and James.

I found out about Remus' condition in our third year at Hogwarts, when we learnt about werewolves, but I kept quiet up until last year. I was quite scared I knew that it was probable that they would meet Death Eaters during the summer, but I didn't think that it would be where they were. When I read the part about James saying hi and my heart skipped a beat. My thoughts were interrupted by Mum calling me downstairs so we could go and get lunch.

On our way to The Sushi Place at the local shopping centre I saw Snape, with Mucliber, Avery and some other Death Eaters that I didn't recognise. I quickly grabbed Mum by the hand and we hid in the nearest bush, Mum was quite confused, but after she saw the look on my face, she shut up, and I continued to watch the group. Once I was absolutely certain that they were gone, I helped Mum out of the bushes and we continued our walk to The Sushi Place, but as a precaution I moved my wand from the inside of my left boot to the pocket of my t-shirt (I really do love magic, especially undetectable extension charms). We walked for about five more minutes and then we arrived at The Sushi Place.

We were seated immediately; I ordered two avocado rolls and a mixture of salmon and tuna sashimi along with a cup of steaming hot green tea. Mum and I caught up over lunch, I spared many details about the Wizarding World for three main reasons; A. In case anyone was eavesdropping, B. I didn't want to scare her with the details of what's going on in my world and C. if I slipped up and broke the Statue of Secrecy. It was nice to be with Mum and it to just be us together, just like when I was little and Petunia was at school, and Dad was working, but so much has changed.

We got straight home with no problems, and I headed straight to my room after I greeted Dad. I decided to write back to Remus and James, maybe even Sirius, when I picked up the envelope I found a loose piece of paper that said; If we don't hear from you within four hours, we will come over, and bring Sirius. I may even show up even if we do hear from you Lily.- James

I laughed at the threat, and then I realised that he was being serious, to bring Sirius here. I wrote back as quickly as possible and I wrote:

Remus and James,
If you have to come over, don't bring Sirius (or at least find some way of controlling him), although if my sister and The Walrus are here, it could be quite entertaining for my parents (well Dad will definitely find it funny) and me. I saw Snape, Avery, Mucliber and some other Death Eaters that I didn't recognise doing something Death Eater-ish near my home, and before you freak out (James), I hid in the bushes with Mum, and I had my wand with me too. I'm happy to hear that your "Furry Little Problem" didn't cause too much trouble last night Remus. I miss you guys too, I may even miss Sirius a little (please do not tell not him that) I'll finish here because I probably have to be bored to death by wedding preparations. Wish me luck guys!
With Love
Lily

I was happy with my response, and so I sent it with Soleil (my owl, who I named because in French Soleil=Sun, and owls in the muggle world is a nocturnal creature), I watched her fly away, and I reread James' short letter, and then it hit me the second sentence actually computed; he wants to see me. My stomach filled up with butterflies, and the thought made me so happy, but I didn't know why. I went downstairs and saw my sister (if I can still call her that) and The Walrus sitting on the couch making out, at that moment all I could think about was James, his habits, his little imperfections that made him James and how I wished it was me and him on that couch, but we'd be a whole lot happier than them.

What Petunia and The Walrus have is strange, even in muggle terms; they want to be normal, and hate anything even remotely strange, my parents are happy, they love each other despite their many differences. It's the same with me and James. I don't even know if she loves him, I think it's the whole "normal" thing again, but what is normal?

That was when I realised that I am in love with James Potter. I mean he has deflated his head for me. He kept on asking me, Lily Evans out, in new ways, and his Quidditch skills are better than many people that I've seen. He was once a scrawny git, but now he's toned and filled out, and he's my toned and filled out git. I get lost in his eyes sometimes, and he is caring, humorous, loyal and has a very stupid saving people thing, which I love. It's true I'm in love with James Potter.
