Love Is Lily
Outside the window
The world is a picture of snow
Sweater clad students playing
But he stays back not reluctantly
His attention on one girl
She's by the fire, cuddled in warmth while reading a book
Her red hair is covering her pale face
Her eyes are focused, and expression intense
As if she were a part of the world in her hands
He watches her
A smile lights his face
Her innocence makes him feel happy
Her interest makes him wonder
Sensing his gaze
She looks up, their eyes meet
Her ever so green eyes aren't as hostile as they used to be
"Don't you have somewhere else to be, Potter?" she says
"I'm right where I want to be, Evans," he replies
She huffs and gets back to her book
She's trying to pretend, she's blushing
He smirks
Maybe he's persistence would finally be fruitful
He starts to whistle
Again she turns to him, trying to glare
He smiles back, faking innocence
She turns back to her book
But he knows her attention is elsewhere
The page hasn't been turned
She's as aware of him as he is of her
Feeling confident, heart accelerated he joins her on the couch
Her body stiffens
He sits close to her and takes her hand gently
She lets out a small whelp
Once more her eyes meet his
There's some emotion he can't identify
"Would you like to go out on a date with me?" he asks
He's waiting for her millionth no
She's simply staring at him in a trance
"Lily?" he questions
"Yes," she whispers
His eyes widen, he can't believe it
"OK," she smiles slightly
She withdraws
He feels the slight tremble
She gets up, taking her book, with one last look at him she leaves
James Potter stays back
Surprised
Triumphant
Mostly happy
AN: As free verse as I could go, I guess. Something random! I hope you liked it.
