A/n: WOOT! My first Harry Potter fic! It might not be very good, because the idea came to me at 3:00 A.M. in the morning… :)

Disclaimer: Hmm…well if I did own Harry Potter my school would be modeled after it. But sadly it isn't... :(

First Lost Moment

November 14, 1997

Lily and James


* * *

17-year-old Lily Evans was sitting on the couch in the Griffindor common room. She was wrapped in blanket and she was staring straight into the fire.

Lily was thinking. Just thinking.

You could say she was thinking about homework, or her family, or her friends. But, no, she was thinking about someone else. A 17 year old boy, with messy black hair and glasses. James Potter.

For some reason, Lily couldn't seem to get him off her mind. She tried thinking of something else, but then he would just pop back into her head. He was like the song on the muggle radio that she had heard once. Lily knew that song by heart. She knew the tune to the song and the lyrics. She knew James by heart as well. Like his black untidy hair, that never seems to be combed, or his bright hazel eyes that made Lily's heart melt, the little things like that.

Lily shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. James had asked her out for the 45th time that day. She had said no every time of course, but she didn't want to admit that she liked him. But she wouldn't be at Hogwarts for long, and after this year, she might never see James again, and Lily did not want that to happen. She thought about giving up. She could just tell James that she liked him too, and then she'd never had to worry again, because Lily knew she liked James, everyone knew it. But it was just so difficult to understand why she felt like this. And if even if she did tell James she liked him, how was she supposed to do it? Should she just walk up to him and say Hey I like you, then leave?

Lily sighed. Why does is being a girl so difficult? She thought.

Then a voice in her mind said, Go tell him.

I can't tell him I like him! Lily argued with herself.

And why not? The mysterious voice asked.

Because…I just…can't! Lily said to no one in particular.

Yes you can! Said the voice. Go find him and tell him!

Lily gulped, trying to make up her mind. It was either she told James she liked him, or leave the whole thing a mystery.

But then she realized it was now or never. Lily stood up, all of a sudden feeling a spark inside of her that she had never known was even there.

She had made up her mind. Lily was going to find James and tell him once and for all.

The portrait door swung open and James walked in, and Lily's heart skipped a beat.

"Oi! James!" said Lily. "I have something to tell you…"

A/n: Yay! First chapter done! Not a very big cliff hanger, but we all know what's going to happen. ;)

I'm not very happy with this chapter, but I tried! I love writing about Lily and James, they're so cute!

So the next chapter I think will be Ron and Hermione. Or maybe Harry and Ginny… or maybe even Rose and Scorpius! You guys tell me who you want! Any ideas would be nice too! :)

And a big shout out goes to my bestest buddie Lyss06! Thanks for all those long PM's!!!
