Lily got in her black robes and brushed her long red hair. She stared into the mirror with green eyes like the color of emerelds. She looked at herself and strugged at the image she saw looking at her. Maggie Lean, Lily's best friend came in. She was carrying a long silvery cloak. Lily looked down at the cloak.

"I found this at the door with your name pinned to it." said Maggie with some intrest in her voice.

"Isn't that an invisblity cloak?" said Lily surprised.

"Yep and there is only one guy at this school with one of these."

"James Potter!" said the girls together.

"I think he likes you Lily!" siad Maggie envious.

Lily examined the cloak closely as Maggie began telling the stories of the Potters.

"Lily, I have heard things about the Potters that are just really unbelieveable! They all suppose to be really wealthy and they are suppose to also be in trouble and in danger of you-know-who!"

"Maggie, Some of stories are not true! You believe too many stupid stories!"

"I dont care! You have been in the wizarding world for 7 years. I have been in this world my whole life! The Potters are very mysterious and very wealthy."

"Ok Maggie tell me a story about the Potters that is probelley a bunch of stupid rumors."

"Ok. This is one my father heard from the minister of magic himself. He said that John Potter was in school with you-know-who. They got into a huge fight over that somehow you-know-who knew The Potter family was desendents of Godric Gryfinndor!"

"Oh come on! James Potter desendent of Gryffindor! Yeah right come on! If he was so great, why wouldn't he be honoured of something?" said Lily very skepitcally.

"I dont know Lil. All I know is that family has some secrets they won't let to anyone! Did you know they only marry inside the family?"

"Come on! Enough with the stories. Let's go to the feast."


James waited at the Gryffindor table with Sirius,Remus and Peter. He was feeling very bubbly and very nervous about telling Lily Evans, the girl he has loved since their first year about how he felt about her. Meanwhile, Sirius and Remus were making fun of James for his lovestruck mind.

"Jamesie's got a girlfriend!" yelled Sirius quite loudly so the whole great hall looked at James.

"James loves Lily!" said Remus while standing up on the gryffindor table.

James looked up after his face turning red. Lily had just entered the hall as Remus exclaimed James loves Lily. Maggie Lily's best friend whispered something in her ear. Lily giggled and grinned at James. James hopped down and looked into Lily's eyes. It was like electricity going through the both of them. James hugged Lily and knew it was meant to be.

The next day, Lily could not stop thinking of James. She was putting off her Head girls duties just to sit and think about him. James couldn't think that day because Lily's eyes were lurking in his thoughts. He finally wrote a note to her:

Lil~
I can't get you out of my head. Meet me in the common room at midnight. I want to show you something.
~James

James passed Jess Mchalord in the hall. James knew she had Advanced Charms with Lily.

"Jess give this to Lil please!" said James passing Jess the note.

Jess smiled.

"Alright. Bye James!"

Lily entered charms and sat down in the back staring into space. Jess Mcharold came over to Lily and dropped a note on Lily's desk.

"From James."she said simply and went to sit next to her friends.

Lily opened the note smiling to know James thought about her She read the note and nodded and the class dragged on.
