Purblood Marriage
Disclaimer: Own nothing but the plot.
A/N: This is very different from J K's published works, but I hope who read it enjoy it. Don't forget to review :D. Whoever reviews will have a chapter dedicated to them :D.
I sighed as my thoughts turned to my eighteenth birthday approached quickly, in less than a year I would marry and I would not have a bride of my choice. I had two months to find a bride or my parents would do the pleasure to find my future wife for me. The bride I wished to marry was one I could not, unless I took her by force into the marriage, which wasn't a possibility.
Her name was Lily Evans and I loved everything about her. She had long wavy auburn hair with the brightest green eyes you'll ever see, a person could become lost in her gaze. Lily was a year my junior and she too would need to marry soon.
I was from a long line of purebloods and the law was to be married by the age of 19. I wished to marry Lily, however Lily hated everything about me. She glared at me with distaste at every opportunity, while I gazed admiring on. I would do anything to have her look at me once with a smile, or to see love shining in her eyes, never have I been granted this wish. It was a shame that she would never look past the mistakes I made around her.
Every time she came into view, I would do something silly and talk very unappropriated to her, I had never offered her my hand as a true gentlemen would, never did I greet her with what the social class expected, this was never my purpose of course.
We attending the same school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its not your ordinary school, it didn't teach you how to sit and talk, or to needle, but taught magic. Yes everyone in the school was magical. It was my and Lily's 8th year at hogwarts, Lily was the top of the class and had been bumped a year ahead, as the workload was simply to easy. It was extraordinary that she was top of the class, being muggleborn, people expected them to struggle through the lessons and barely pass, but not my Lily, she was smart.
Oh how I wished she loved me, she never would, but a man can hope. I had never given up until now, 7 years of chasing her, and look where its boughten me, I am a lovesick fool with nobody to marry, I dreaded to see who my parents would pix. I had wasted years hoping one day she would turn around and say " James I love you and I am truly sorry of how I have acted." I know we are meant to be, but there is simply not much time left, I could no longer chase her, I would need to find someone else to love.

After another boring potions class with Professor Slughorn I walked slowly back to the Gryffindor common room. There was four houses at Hogwarts and I was in the best one, there was Gryffindor, Huffelpuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytheirn the worst. I walked beside my three best friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Sirius was the bachelor of hogwarts and he had plans never to marry, he didn't care for some silly law, he was handsome behind belief in his shoulder length hair and silver misty eyes. Remus was scrawny and a sickly man, he was 6'1 and had shoulder length shaggy hair that fell limply to the sides, with wide blue eyes. Peter Pettigrew looked the worst of the four, he was short and chubby with short mousy hair and boring brown eyes. I was 6'0 about 200 pounds of muscle from playing quiditch and had hazel eyes, and horrifically messy hair.
When I saw her walking by herself, probably to the great hall for dinner, every other girl I met eat very little or nothing in front of me, Lily ate what she liked and how she like it. I admired that about her, she wasn't afraid to show herself, or to yell at me, curse me, put me down, or even hit me. All of which she had done a number of times over the past years. I knew deep down I would never stop loving her, watching her few hair wisps travel down her neck from her tight coil, I sighed and walked up to her.
"Hi Lil how are you?"
I had been trying to fix my rude outings around her and try acting normally, so far so good.
"I need you to leave me be Potter." She said sending a nasty glare my way.
I sighed, see what I mean? All I said was hi and I get this treatment. Its a wonder I love her at all, but I couldn't imagine not loving her, it just hurt to much.
"I just wanted to walk you to dinner Lily." I said hopefully.
"Call me Evans, and I am not going to dinner, goodbye." Lily huffed and walked off before I could stop her.
"Prongs I think its time I give you advice on our favorite snob."
"Not now Padfoot, please not now."
"Alright James, but I think its time, you need to marry soon."
"Coming from you , the hates the thought of marrying man, you shouldn't been giving out advice."
"That may be so my friend, but thats because I choose that, and I could marry in a heartbeat, look at all my lovely female friends, you could have that too James if you wanted."
"I want marriage Paddy but not to just anyone-"
"I know, I know you want to marry Miss. Evans."Sirius interrupted.
"I don't just want to marry her, I want her to love me."
"Your asking for a tall order."
"Whatever it takes, I need to prove to her were meant to be."
"Yes, well haven't we tried that?"
"Not hard enough." I heard Sirius sigh and shuffle away.
I knew he was right, it was hopeless but I still had two months till my mother and father took control and in those two months I would have some sort of relationship with Lily.

A week passed and I had an idea of how to win Lily over. I would send her a note every day of the week, on the note would be a list of things I love about her, along with the note a large bouquet of lilies.
I conjured the flowers and wrote my note, it read.
Dear my darling Lily
I hope when you receive this letter you will read this and smile, I hope that you will eventually love me as I love you, and that you will see we were meant to be together and happy. We could be a happily ever after story Lily for little children who read old folks tales. I want you to know my darling sweetheart that my love for you will never die. I love your pride and stubbornness which will not let me into your heart. I love that you pride yourself on your schoolwork and you care more for that then any marriage you may soon face. I love your stubbornness to stand up for me all these years, to refuse me, I know I am quite stubborn also and I understand why you have rejected me so. I also love your appetite the way you eat, you eat what you wish and when you wish, the way you wish. Yet you still stay beautiful,small and delicate looking, I admire that about you Lily.
I hope you like the flowers my darling.
I wrote down as neatly as I possibly could, I had Remus check it for anything I shouldn't say and sent it with a third year to deliver. I felt that this had to be my best idea yet.
An hour later I was eating dinner in the great hall when a flurry of red came stomping towards me. It was Lily her face was beat red and her hair was loosely waving down her back, it was mid back length. I wished I could touch it, but knew better then to try. I could tell she was angry.
"Its not ladylike to stomp and your hair is let down, your lucky your mother isn't here." Sirius said and fell into a fit of laughter. I sent him a quick glare which he caught as he tried straightening himself out.
"How could you write me something as poposperous as this? Have you no manners? No decency? You cannot expect me to believe your horse dung." Lily screamed loudly at me. Her voice echoing throughout the room.
"It wasn't meant to accept you."
"Wasn't meant to upset me? Have you gone mad? Calling me sweetheart and darling and thats not going to upset me?"
"I was trying to be sweet."
"Sweet? You think telling me I eat to much is sweet?" Lily screamed louder, oblivious to the many onlookers, who by now were used to seeing Lily yell at me.
"Look I m sorry can we just forget it?"
"Forget it? FORGET IT? Your impossible you inconsiderate brat." She yelled and walked quickly from the great hall redder then when she had entered.
I sighed and turned back to my dinner, but I found I wasn't very hungry. I got up and left the great hall thinking of what else I could besides tomorrows note.
A/N:Lily seems like a right cow and she will stay that way for a bit, however I am not great on grammar and things so please let it go. I don't want lots of complaints because believe me I know I suck at grammar and such, other then that REVIEW :D:D:D.
