The first time he sets eyes on Lily Evans was during their sorting. Her hair colour was the first thing he noticed, naturally. He remembers thinking that it was so close to the colour of autumn leaves; it was as though a little bit of the season was here with them in the room. From then on, if anyone were to ask him, autumn was his favourite season.

The first time he speaks to her was a day later in Potions class. She was sitting next to Snape and as soon as he set eyes on the pair of them, he called over to her. 'Hey Evans! Why are you sitting with Snivellus?' She turned and eyeing him reproachfully replied, 'Because he's my friend?' as if it was the most natural thing in the world to be 'friend's' with that slimy git. From then on, he hates Severus Snape with an unquenchable passion.

The first time he manages to go on a date with her, they're in seventh year – a whole six years after he first talked to her. And for once in his life, he's nervous beyond belief but oh-so grateful that after five and a half years of trying to ask her out, he's finally captured her attention. They go to a small tea shop in Hogsmeade and it's the first time he's ever tried black coffee without sugar. He hates it.

The first time he kisses her was after Gryffindor won the final Quidditch match against Ravenclaw. It's passionate and her lips taste of strawberries tinged with firewhisky. It's also the first time that he tells her that he loves her. She doesn't remember.
-:-
The final time he sets eyes on her is just before Voldemort enters their house and he runs outside, wandless to protect them. It was brave to the point of foolishness, but at that precise moment he doesn't care. In fact, the only thing that he can think of was how lucky he was to have her and sometimes, he thinks that she's just too beautiful.
