Chapter 1

Lots of Quidditch

James sat in his room, it was only a month until the end of the school year. He thought about the year and all that it contained. First was his Head Boyship, as well as Quidditch Captain, which was great because he loved quidditch. Head Boy was more of a surprise, nobody suspected that the Head Marauder would become a Head Boy too, including himself. Although the best part of the year overall was his girlfriend, Lily Evans.

She was amazing.

This was the girl James had been after for six years, and now he finally had her. It all started at the beginning of the year, when he told her he loved her, and then later, when they kissed at the Opening Ball. Of course there were some complications with the whole thing, one being Lily hated James, AND she had a boyfriend at the time. It all worked out though, she loved him too, that's all that mattered.

She was stunning.

Every underclassman had a crush on her, and every upperclassman knew she was too much for them to handle, James knew that as well, but he was James, he could handle anything. Lily was too perfect for him not to be in love with her, and this love kept him persistent to be with her. Even after many rejections and insults he never gave up, he knew she was the one, and all of it payed off. When Lily kissed him in the Great Hall it was the best day of his life, she knew James was the one.

Of course both were too stubborn to see the other felt the same way, until James kissed her the first time, then she could feel something. Something different, something real. It took some time, but she came around, and it was the best decision she's ever made.

Lily sat up in her bed, she had a dream about James, he was saying he didn't love her anymore. It was more like a nightmare to her, she hugged her blankets and let out a breath. It was okay, James was still next door, and nothing was going to change. He still loved her, and he would never stop. Nothing would ever change.

She stood up and went to the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror she sighed, today was going to be a long day.

James stepped out of his room to see Lily already getting her stuff ready, they had classes that day, and James had quidditch practice. Tomorrow was a big day for him, the last game of the season, and he was determined to win. It was Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, this game decided who would win the House Cup, and he wasn't going to let his team lose.

James crept up behind Lily and put his arm around her shoulder, "Hey Evans." He said with a sleepy grin.

"James, do you think we'll need to bring extra parchment for charms? Flitwick always gives extra work-" She said quickly.

"Lily, Flitwick only gives YOU extra work because you're always done before everyone else, But sure bring some, I'm sure Sirius will need some, he'll probably forget we even had classes today." She sighed and looked at James.

"You still love me right?" She asked anxiously.

"Are you serious? Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" He asked concerned.

"Just a dream I had, you, well you said you didn't anymore." She furrowed her eyebrows trying to remember exactly what happened.

"Don't believe that, I'm still James aren't I?" He asked with a grin. Lily smiled back and kissed his cheek, his smile grew even wider, and she put her arm around his waist.

"Let's go, I'm starving." She said with relief. They walked out of the common room arm in arm, and smiling. Today was going to be okay.

James and Lily sat down at the Gryffindor table and started piling things on their plates.

"Hey mate, Evans." Sirius said with a grin.

"Padfoot, don't even say what you're thinking, because we both know, and no we didn't." James said automatically.

"What? How dare you assume such thoughts would come from me, for all we know Moony here could've been thinking the same thing!"

"Oh please, don't even try Sirius." Remus joined in.

"Guys, will you please-" Lily tried to continue when Lucy and Alice came in.

"Ah look, my favorite couple, sitting together once again!" Lucy said enthusiastically. She and Alice immediately sat next to Lily.

"So, what's going on with you Lils?" Alice asked sweetly.

"Not much, this Transfiguration essay was killing me though, how could it be so hard?" Lily asked throwing her hands up in exasperation.

"Evans I told you I can help with that, my best subject is Transfiguration, you just gotta help me with Charms." James said once he heard Lily say "Transfiguration."

"Oh alright, we'll go to the library after classes okay?" Lily said with a smile and she rolled her eyes. He always wanted Lily to do his Charms work for him.

"Aw look at you two, you're so cute!" Lucy squealed, Lily rolled her eyes once more. Lucy noticed this and sighed, "Alright alright, I'll stop." Lily beckoned her over and leaned into her,

"You should know Potter loves being called cute, it's his most used name, from me anyways." Lily whispered with a smirk, she knew James always thought "cute" was something bad, he preferred, brave, handsome, or mischievous. He only liked it when Lily called him cute or adorable. (Which she tended to do)

"Really? I'll see what I can do with that." Lucy whispered back, she now had a slight smirk too.

After all of their classes James and Lily walked over to the library, she needed to do her Transfiguration work while James only came to help. "Why do you like this place so much?" James asked looking around, making a face.

"Because, it's quiet, now I need to go get the books so I'll be right back." Lily responded putting her hands on her waist, that seemed to be her signature move.

"Okay okay, hey wait! Don't grab that uh, that big black book okay!" He yelled quickly, earning a glare from the librarian.

"What? Why?" Lily asked giving him a suspecting look.

"I may or may not have set a trap in there, so just don't open it..." He whispered. Lily rolled her eyes and shook her head, of course he did. Lily walked over to the books and disappeared behind a shelf, once she had a girl who looked to be a sixth year walked up to James, she was very pretty, but also was also known to be very petty, sometimes. She had long brown hair that fell down in perfect curls, and wore and short little skirt that was very revealing.

"Hey, I'm Natalie." She said while batting her eyes.

"Er, hey…" James said nervously.

"How come you're in here? Doesn't seem like the place for you to be." She said moving her hand closer to James'.

"Oh, I'm just here for my- my girlfriend." He said, he didn't want her to come any closer, she was moving very quickly. She had put her hand on his arm already, and she gasped.

"Your muscles are so big." She said while giggling, it was the worst, most used thing to say when trying to flirt, and she knew it, and she had completely ignored the part about him having a girlfriend, but she also didn't care. Anything to get James to like her, she didn't know how much he loved Lily though, so he immediately rejected her.

"Woah, er, sorry but-" James pushed her hand off of him and took a step back, putting his hands up in the air. Lily stuck her head out from behind the shelf and saw James talking to a girl she recognized, she was staring at her and James when they were leaving the Great Hall that morning. Behind him Lily dropped a stack of books on the table, causing a loud thump. The librarian jumped and said "Shhh" angrily.

"Is there a problem here?" Lily said crossing her arms and giving Natalie a demeaning glare.

"It's okay Evans-"

"Who is this?" Natalie asked sounding innocent.

"His girlfriend, Lily, did you need help?" Lily asked lifting an eyebrow.

"Oh no, I'm fine, now." Natalie said smirking, she walked away smoothly, moving her hips back and forth as if to call attention to them.

"Don't worry Lily, she's just like every other girl, literally." James said grabbing her hand, trying to assure her it was fine. He heard her mutter something about being his girlfriend as she sat down.

"I don't care about that, it's just, are girls really like that to you?" She asked while grabbing a book.

"Er, yeah, I guess. I mean they always try to flirt."

"I saw her staring at us this morning, thought it was a little weird, I guess she was just after you." Lily said quickly, after realizing she had just said that she covered her mouth. "Oh, er, sorry-"

"Are jealous Evans?" James asked with a smirk.

"Oh please Potter, in your dreams." She said grinning, she grabbed his hand and held onto it the whole time in the library.

James had quidditch practice that night and Lily decided to walk with him there and go back up to finish Potions after a little while. He had his broom in one and and Lily's hand in his other. She looked so beautiful to him, the wind was strong and made her bright red hair blow out of her face, and her nose was red from the cold, it was close to summer but tonight was exceptionally cold. She gripped his hand tighter and looked up at James who looked concentrated, probably on quidditch. He looked down to her and smiled, she was perfect, how was he so lucky? He let go of her hand and put his arm around her shoulder, he could tell she was freezing. Lily moved closer to him and buried herself in his robes, he was so warm and comforting.

She sat in the stands for a while before leaving to the castle, sending a wave to James she left and finished her work.

The next morning was the quidditch match, and James was ready. He walked out to the common room in his quidditch robes, looking adorable to Lily. She loved the way he looked in his robes, they fit him perfectly. She was sitting on the couch reading and waiting for him to come out, of course he needed to make sure his hair looked perfectly messy. She smiled as he walked over and sat next to her, putting his arm around her again. She immediately grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss, they sat there for a few seconds. Lily had moved both her hands to his face and pressed into him even more, tilting her face she backed away slowly. "Good luck Potter." She whispered with a smile.

"That was one hell of a good luck." He said running his hand through his hair with a dazed grin. Lily laughed and kissed him again, only for a second or two before he stood up and they left to the quidditch pitch. James always said eating would make him throw up before a quidditch match, but Lily still always brought him a piece of toast or something, and he always took it gratefully.

Lily sat in the stands cheering on her boyfriend and James always made sure to look for her in the crowd. There were a few fouls from Slytherin during the game but overall, it went well, Gryffindor had won, making them in the lead for the House Cup. James landed on the ground and was met by Lily running into his arms and cheering. He hugged her and smiled throwing his hands up in the air, and he picked her up kissing her deeply. She put her arms around his neck and pressed into him, moving her hands into his hair, she loved doing this, his hair was long and thick, which made her want to mess it up even more. "Here." James said putting his favorite scarf around her neck. He could tell she was getting cold and he wanted her to have his "lucky scarf" he always kept it with him during a match, and claimed it helped him win.

"Your scarf? No I can't borrow this, it's yours." She said touching its sleeve.

"I don't want you to borrow it, I want you to keep it." He said smiling.

"What? No it's your lucky charm-"

"It's not, you are." He said shoving it back into her hands, "I know that sounded cheesy, but it's true."

"James, I.." Lily looked down and shook her head with a huge grin, he was so adorable. She reached up to him and kissed him on the cheek, but didn't let go of his hand.

"What do you say Evans, Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?" He said grinning.

"Of course." She hugged him and held onto the scarf, it was her new favorite possession.
