Two years later if you were to ask James, he would probably say it was perseverance.
He would say it was him knowing what he wanted and why he wanted it (even if he didn't have a clue how to get it).
But that never mattered because he wanted it pretty badly.
But then he would probably think it through and say it was actually one thing.
It was that one thing all along.
If you were to ask Lily, she would probably say it was a lot of things.
She would talk about and fate and faith.
She would talk about destiny and synchrony.
She would talk about light and electricity.
She would talk about one day and about one year.
She would talk about divine intervention and (a lot of) mundane intervention.
But then she would probably say it was really just one thing.
And they would both be wrong, it was, in fact, two things.
Author's Note: hi, everyone just wanted to give a few heads up: this is my first fanfic (no, not my first multichaptered one, my first ever) so that should to be fun... also I should let you know that English is not my first language so... yeah (and if anyone is up for helping me with this mess just let me know). Hopefully this won't completely suck, but I take criticism very well so lay it on me.
