"Hiya Lils!" said James. He snatched away the book that Lily Evans was reading.

"Potter! Give that back to me!"

"Not on your life Lils!"

" . .THAT! Who do you think you are?"

"Sorry, so touchy!" He handed the book back to her. She stormed off. Ugh. Come on James, he thought to himself, you'll never get her by acting like a jerk. He decided to take a walk by the herbology gardens. He was walking along thinking of the only person he could think of, Lily. He was so much in love with her. She is beautiful and smart and loyal. In a word, perfect. He stopped when he heard a noise. He peered around a bush. Lily was sitting on a bench. Crying. He went over to her. He sat down and put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to his chest. She broke down.

"What's wrong Lils?" She looked at him and sniffed.

"I told you not to call me that. That's wh…what S… se… sev used to call me." James clenched his jaw at the mention of Snape. The reason why he hated Snape so much was because he was jealous of the relationship he and Lily had. Lily put her face against his chest, crying.

"He's truly an idiot if he's going to let YOU go. Lily, from the moment I saw you, I knew I was in love. The reason I was always so mean to Snape was because you loved him and I thought he didn't deserve it. I'm sorry for being such a jerk. Really Lily. I love you." Lily looked up at him and saw the honesty in his eyes. She thought to herself, it all makes sense now. No wonder. And he saw everything that Sev was doing, and I didn't. I didn't want to believe he would side with that Malfoy and his group of muggle born haters, because he was supposed to care about me. What a fool I was. Her thoughts were interrupted.

"Lily, can you give me a chance to prove to you that I will be good for you?"

"Yeah. I will."

He pulled her close to his chest and kissed the top of her head, stroking her long dark-red hair. Then he pulled away slightly and kissed her full on the mouth. Lily felt like she had never felt before, and she knew she would not regret giving James Potter a chance.
