Author's note: I hope you guys like this story... It's my first really good story, I'll try to have it updated with a new chapter once a week. Also, sorry about the spacing before, that should be fixed now!
Basically, this is the story of what happens from when James and Lily first confess their love for each other to the day that Voldemort kills them. It's from James's point of view.
Disclaimer: Say what you want about the story, just remember: I didn't make the charecters, I just built off of JKR's base.
First chapter setting: Hogwarts; the Griffindor Common Room
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James sighed shakily. No matter what would happen, this was his chance... Maybe his only chance. He slowly took one step, then another, and carefully pushed open the door. He looked around the room, his heart pounding. He jumped as the door slammed closed. Maybe he shouldn't-
"Hi James! What are you doing in here? I would've thought you'd be in the Great Hall already, with Sirius." James whirled around to see Lily Evans standing behind him, her arms loaded with books and a curious look on her face. He avoided her question by offering to help with her books. "No thanks, I think I can handle them." She smiled, giggling quietly to herself. James swallowed nervously, and nodded. He watched as she headed up the stairs to drop off her books, and let out a deap breath. This was it. He was going to do it. When Lily came back down, he was sitting in a chair, apparantly waiting for something- or, in his case, someone. Lily looked over at him as she passed. "James Potter, what are you doing still sitting here? I've never known you to skip a meal!" James stood up at this, and walked over to her. "I'm waiting to ask you if you'll come to Hogsmeade with me next weekend, Lily." he said, having finally gained the courage to tell her. "Lily, you may not know it, but I know it, and almost always have: I love you." He grabbed her hand, looking into her eyes. "The only thing I want right now is you to come with me to Hogsmeade. Not food, not anything but to be with you." He smiled. "I've been waiting so long to tell you that." He looked down at their hands, surprised Lily hadn't let go yet. Carefully, James braced himself for rejection, pleased that she at least knew how he felt about her. He winced to himself as she opened her mouth, sure she was about to say-
"Yes." James looked up, his eyes full of joy. "I would love to go with you, James. You must not realize that every day you have spent loving me, I have spent wishing, no, hoping you did." She paused to smooth down his hair with her free hand, which he caught as it came down. "James, I love you too." James smiled at her, a tender smile full of care and love. "You mean it?" Lily smiled back. "With all of my heart." And while the feast was beginning three floors below him, James had his mind only on his love for the girl he now stood kissing... Finally.
