A/N. A series of drabbles that shows what everybody who died in both of the wars were fighting for.
James Potter
James Potter walked down Hogwarts corridor with his best mate; the one and only Sirius Black. Now he reflected on it, maybe being with Sirius wasn't the best idea. Although Sirius usually had a habit of making James relax…today he was having the opposite effect. This could be due to a number of reasons. It could be the fact that Sirius was winking at every girl they walked past. It could be the fact that Sirius was going on about how today was the dawn of a new era. Or it could even be that the fault didn't lie with Sirius at all and it was James's fault for being so nervous. You see today was he day James was going to ask out the love of his life: Lily Evans.
I know what you're thinking. But this time was different. This time she was going to say yes. Or he was going to…give up. As he rounded the final turn of the secret passage James began thinking. (And no, this wasn't the first time). If she did say no how would he cope. The past 6 years of his life had revolved around 3 things: the Marauders, Quidditich and Lily Evans. So in a way Sirius was right. This was the end of an era.
As he stepped out into the Hogwarts grounds he glanced at Sirius quickly as he turned in the opposite direction. Trying to put plan TFTOAO (the final time of asking out) into action. Lily was sitting under a tree near the Black Lake. Her hands were twisting in her lap and she eyes kept darting about. She looked nervous. As she looked up and saw James watching she half smiled. James's mouth dropped. What that was it? A smile? No shouting for gazing at her? No 'shove of Potter'? Just a kind half smile? That was all the encouragement James needed. He marched straight across the grass till he was standing above her. As his shadow loomed over her she looked up.
"Potter," she said standing up. James felt his mouth go dry as he looked at her. Shaking his head slightly he hurried to say something…anything coherent.
"Err…" Well done James! He though sarcastically. Exactly what he needed to make himself seem clever and mature. "Um…what I was trying to say was well…" Ugh! Why couldn't he get the stupid words out! He had managed the last 2781 times. Why was this any different! Only it was different and James knew it. This time would be the last time…one way or another.
He forced himself to look at Lily as she watched him struggle for words. She was getting closer…and closer… James shut his eyes. Why am I hallucinating? Why now! Just then he felt the softest motion on his lips and his eyes shot open. Lily was kissing him. Lily! Lily Evans. Shocked he took a step back and instantly took a step back and immediately regretted it as she looked away, upset. "Sorry," she muttered, "I shouldn't have…I just assumed. I'll go now…" She turned around to pick up her bag as James urged himself to move. DO SOMETHING! James took a step forward and grabbed one of her hands. He spun her around to face him and before she could move or speak he pressed his lips up against hers. For a few moments she didn't do anything and James started to panic. She's going to kill me…Just as he was about to pull away and start begging for his life he felt one of her hands knot in his hair. As the kiss deepened James had just one thought running through his head. He was finally kissing Lily Evans.
His Lily.
