A/N:
Hello everyone! Yes, I am writing two fictions at one time. This idea came to me after my friend told me to write a novel out of it (with my own characters, plot, etc.), after it came to her in a dream. However, just as I wrote all my character sketches, plot lines, etc. I decided "what the hell! Lily and James fiction ALL THE WAY!!" Hopefully I'll have a good response to this fic, as I am so hyped up about it. I just couldn't bear to wait until I finished my other fic In This World. For those of you who are reading this fic, as well as my other one, know that I will not abandon either of them. I am going to try my absolute hardest to get a chapter of each story out every week. I may even do more, if I have the time. However, if I am not receiving much attention to one of the stories, but quite a bit to the other, I may decide to concentrate on the one receiving the feedback, until it is completed, then finishing the other one. How does this sound to you? Ahhk, I am SO excited. This Lily and James fiction IS different from a lot of them out there, so please - sit back, read - and most importantly, enjoy!As well, if anyone would like notifications of chapter updates, leave your e-mail address in a review, and I will notify you of updates!
Summary:
Lily and James are victims of what some call "Forbidden Love". Coming from different pasts, each has the duty to fullfill different destinies...apart from each other. Then, Lily begins finding letters - from a mysterious person, and past...Disclaimer:
Characters recognisable to readers do not belong to me. The idea for the ORIGINAL version of this story came from my friend, who I give credit to... Right now she's getting all excited that I'm writing this. The idea for the Lily and James version, c'est MOI! Everything else, i.e. Characters, Hogwarts, etc., belong to the incredible J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. MOI'Z! My heart belongs to you! hahaL'armour Inderdit

Prologue
Lily sat by the dying fire, as warm tears slowly streamed down her face. It was late. By the moon, it looked to be about one o'clock in the morning. She couldn't sleep, no matter how hard she tried. her heart ached with the need for her beloved Pierre. Today, she though. Today he left me... oh how I need him so! Lifting herself shakily off of the chair, Lily exited her parents small, sod house and walked through the streets of Squire. She could hear the town drunks, and was risking being killed...or worse. But Lily felt no fear; her body in shock, her heart splitting in two. Slowly, making her way to the outskirts of town, she walked towards the ridge in which her and Pierre spent many days together. She sat against the tree overlooking the beautiful waters which splashed against the cliffs of Great Britannia. Sighing, she remembered the ghastly day which took him away... perhaps forever...
*Flashback*
Lily hummed as she walked towards the grand castle in which the Lord of Squire
resided, cousin to King James. Lord Jacob was a kind man - to most, however, not nice enough as Lily was soon to discover. Wrapping her cloak tightly around her, shielding her face from view, she made her way to the back of the castle, to where the kitchens were located. Rapping thrice on the wooden door, she waited until Sienoa, the head cook of the castle opened the door, gaining her entrance to the castle. Lily thanked her, and gave her a loaf of bread and a slice of cheese (which was a treat for Sienoa) in payment.
Discarding her ratty cloak, Lily tip-toed through the passages of the castle, to the chamber in which Pierre dwelled. Almost as if he saw her coming, he opened the door just as she got there, and pulled her inside. He looked into her dark brown eyes, before gently kissing her with all his love and passion. It was there that they found them...
The door burst open, and in came six knights, and Lord Jacob himself. He looked upon Pierre, who had his beloved Lily pressed up against a wall. He could see their lips were red and swollen, and their faces flushed, Lily's chest heaving in the excitement of the kiss. Jacob looked upon his son with disgust.
"What do you think you're doing?" he bellowed. "A common peasant girl! Who do you think I am!? Do you think I would ever allow you to fraternise with such common dirt?" he spat angrily at his son. Lily's eyes filled with tears as she heard his words of hatred. He motioned toward two of the knights who then seized Pierre and wretched him away from Lily. Pierre fought back.
"Let me go! Father, let me go! Why does it matter to you who I love? Who I marry? It should matter not! Nothing in thy life has ever mattered to you! LET ME GO!" Pierre was seething with anger at his father. No matter how hard he tried, he could not escape from the strong grip which held him in place.
Jacob looked at Pierre with disgust. "You are no longer my son," he whispered. "You've betrayed me, and now you must pay the consequences. You are banished." With those last words, Jacob left the chamber, knights and Pierre who was therefore imprisoned, followed. Lily tried to run after Pierre, but was held back by a knight. She could hear Pierre calling out to her.
"Do not fear, my love. I vow to thee I will write, I will find thou somehow! Remember, I will always love thee... Remember..."
*End of Flashback*
Lily once again had tears running down her face. She gently placed her fingers upon her lips, remembering their last kiss they shared. She could feel his touch, his breath, and could smell the faint smell of pine which brushed the roots of his hair. Oh, she needed him; she needed him so bad! "Do not fear, my love. I vow to thee I will write, I will find thou somehow! Remember, I will always love thee... Remember..."
"I'll wait for you, mon amour... I'll wait until the day we can be together! I'll wait..." her voice trailed off into the night as she fell asleep against the tree, pain still etched in her heart, but knowledge that somehow Pierre and her would be together... somehow...
*
Years past, and never did Lily receive a letter from her beloved. She feared the worst... And after ten years of no word, Lily died of a broken heart... On her grave it read:
With a broken heart,
Thou doeseth rest
Though her and her lover rest far apart
They were in love, nevertheless...
