Summary: You could say I had a happy life- great friends, unthinkable Quidditch skills, and a loving family. The only thing I needed for my life to be absolutely perfect was her- Lily Evans. One-shot. Very short. In James's POV

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Harry Potter series and I really wouldn't want to. It would be way too much responsibility for me.

This is my first fanfic. I'm on summer vacation and I just felt like writing something. Very short, but it has a point to it... sort of. Drop a review and tell me what you think!

Running Away- Joys, Fears, and Terrors of James

You could say I had a happy life- great friends, unthinkable Quidditch skills, and a loving family. The only thing I needed for my life to be absolutely perfect was her- Lily Evans. But sadly, she would turn me down time after time. Of course, now that I think about it, I don't really blame her. I was a cocky and arrogant teenager with raving hormones. But, both me, and m luck, changed in my seventh year at Hogwarts when she finally agreed to go out with me. And it all went up from there.

After school had ended, I got a fantastic job as an auror. I got to help people in both the muggle and magical worlds. A dream come true really. But that's not the best part. Lily had said 'yes' to marrying me. Me! James Potter! Now that was the ultimate dream come true.

Later, we were blessed with a son, Harry. Who knew the little guy, my little guy, would one day have to save the world, or die trying?

We found out that the Dark Lord, Voldemort, was after me, Lily, and especially Harry. So, we were put under the protection of the Fidelius charm. Of course, we had to choose a person to keep our secret. My immediate choice was my best friend, Sirius Black. But, he advised me to go with our other best friend, Peter. Peter was just an average everyday bloke. Why would Voldemort go to him? So we did. Peter was our secret keeper. Oh how I regret that decision.

One evening, Voldemort came to our doorstep. That stupid, filthy rat had told on us. I told Lily to take Harry and run away. Meanwhile, I would have to fend for myself, and my family, but I couldn't. Because Voldemort killed me. I was dead.

Lily died too. Only little Harry had survived. So while Lily and I sat and watched Harry, my one and only son, he had to constantly run away from the evil that had ended mine and Lily's life, and hope that it wouldn't take his.

End

Thanks to all the people who have reviewed my story! You guys are so dudish!!! (cool, in my language :D)

Kicksomeass- My first reviewer!!! Kudos to you. I'm sorry my chapters are short, but I did warn you in the summary. I don't write to many descriptions because I assume most people know what I'm talking about. Plus, I usually write out the chapters on paper first, and I try to keep it at just front and back. I know weird, but hey, I'm just like that.

Maire1320- Yes, I know my chapters are short, everybody tells me that in their reviews.

Jordan- Hey!!! I'm glad you like my story. I read yours too, but chapters 2 and 3 are the same... sigh I miss France... Anyways, I hope you like this chapter too!

The next chapter will be in Peter's POV. Yeah, I know he's a stupid little... mute donkey (I try not to swear too much, so you can interpret that yourself). But, I wanted to write in his POV because I wanted to get the main characters from the MWPP era. I'm currently writing one in Ron's POV, but I'm stuck. I'll try to get it done though, so, um, yeah. Please review!!!
