James Potter knows many things about Lily Evans.
.
He knows she rolls her eyes at him whenever he runs a hand through his hair.
He notices the change in her when she smiles at him, she softens. He notices that there are challenges hidden in her smiles.
When she looks at him, her eyes are full of defiance and curiousity.
He knows that when she tries to suppress a laugh he caused, she bites her lip and ducks her head.
He knows that when she's frustrated she has to tie her hair back.
He knows that when she cries, her hands clench into fists and her shoulders shake.
He knows that she never makes a sound when she cries, or closes her eyes.
.
James Potter thinks he knows everything about Lily Evans.
.
What he'll never know is that when she screams for Voldemort to spare Harry, her whole body shakes, her calm demeanor is shattered, and tears run down her face.
He'll never know that the last thing she saw, was James laughing while running a hand through his hair.
