I Get to Love You

Falling in love with him was like a fairy tale. She was the Lizzie Bennett to his Mr. Darcy. That is if Mr. Darcy had been mischievous and quite a bit more talkative. Though the protective instincts did match up.

Hearing him shouting for her to run made her heart hurt. Where could she run to? But loving him had been one of the best things she had done. He had become more than she had ever imagined. But she knew if they got out of this alive, that him being betrayed by Wickham would hurt him so deeply. Their friendship along with the others two had run so deep.

She held their baby close to her and she heard footsteps on the stairs. They were not her husband's footsteps, not her Darcy. She shoved the dresser in front of the door and placed Baby in the crib.

She had hated Darcy at age 11. It had seemed like that he was always picking on her friend. It had seemed that way till age 16. That was when she had discovered that her "friend" was her Wickham. Darcy had seen what her Wickham had done to people and in his young little way was trying to protect her. She was not of the society that Wickham believed in. Darcy was just wanting to keep her safe. Even though it had been her choice, but she had not even realized that there was a danger until she had actually listened to him instead of just hearing him. Becoming friends with Darcy and his friends had been wonderful. When Darcy had asked her out for the second time, the first time had been at age 15. That second time, she said yes. She had been looking for him when looking for her spouse, but she had not realized that it was him.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the door blowing open. She begged for her baby to be safe but was ignored. As the green light sped toward her, she thought the only comfort was that she would be with her Darcy again soon.

A/N: This is a reflection with characters from Pride and Prejudice. This is Lily's perspective with James as Darcy and her as Lizzie. Wickham is both Peter and Snape in this story. I've always hated the view of James as this heartless bully. He clearly had a good heart by his friendship with Sirius, Remus, and Peter. Thus my perspective of perhaps they were trying to get revenge for what was being done to the Muggleborns at Hogwarts. Not that this would make things right merely more understandable. After all, the only time we truly see anything from that past is from Snape's point of view.
