Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Only JK Rowling does.

A.N.: Soooo I started this forever ago but I never really finished it. I was going through all my old stuff the other day and I found all the chapters I never ended up posting. I'm gonna revise what I have already then I'm gonna try to finish it this time. Wish me luck!

Chapter 1: The Rejection

James Potter ruffled his already untidy black hair as he stepped out of the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. This was his last day at Hogwarts. He had just finished his seventh and final year at Hogwarts and had no regrets. He had made friends that were as close as brothers and had caused his professors more than his share of trouble. Well he did have one regret, but he would take care of that right now. He took out an old piece of parchment out of his pocket and stared down at it, studying it closely. After a moment he tapped the map with his wand and muttered "mischief managed" as he took off down the hall. He went down several flights of stairs, taking them two at a time determined to find his mark. After a few twists and turns he rounded a corner and came to a stop in front of the great hall.

He tried to casually lean against a wall to wait for the girl he hadn't seemed to be able to get off his mind for the last three years. He didn't have long to wait.

A red headed girl walked out of the hall a few minutes later laughing with a couple of her friends. The laughter died on her lips as she saw him waiting. A frown furrowed her brow but she continued towards him which was all he could really have hoped for.

"Everything alright Evans?" he asked as she neared. She waved her hands towers her friends who continued on without her as she closed the final steps between them.

"Well it was before you showed up." muttered the girl under her breath.

He took a deep breath and stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Well I just wanted to say that is has been a great year working with you as heads of Hogwarts"

"Well thanks" she replied looking confused "It was nice working with you too." She looked at him suspiciously obviously waiting for something.

"I guess all I wanted to say was goodbye since this was our last year at Hogwarts." he said uncomfortably.

"Well I'll miss you too I guess. Goodbye Potter." She stuck out her hand and James took it with a smile. She smiled back and began to spin back towards her friends when James grabbed her shoulder lightly unable to stop himself.

"ummm... Evans?" James called as she turned back towards him with a resigned look on her face.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to go out with me?" James asked hopefully, one last time.

"No Potter I won't. You think that after hearing that for years now you would have remembered the answer." She told him sharply rolling her eyes at his return to the normality. She spun on her heal and rejoined her friends who were waiting for her at the base of the staircase he had just come down.

"Good bye Lily" James whispered to her retreating back. As she left James felt a pang of sorrow. He had tried to get her to like him for years and he didn't end up winning her heart in the end. He let his gaze wonder over the architecture around him and all his surroundings. This was the last time he would be seeing the school. He hung his head and made his way out to the train that would take him away from this place forever.
