A/M: Alas, the last chapter is up, I never thought this would end…but I want to move onto better things so here I go!
I'm glad for all the people who have recently found this story and have fell in love with it like I have and just because I never updated doesn't mean I didn't like it.

Dear Clara,
Last night was heavenly. It was perfection. It was like the angels decided they would make James into a gentleman right in front of me.
He came down from the guest room – Anne and I were already down in the kitchen – and he looked amazing! He smiled dazzlingly at Anne and then at me, but mine was sort of a smirk…
Anyway, when we got to the church he was I think the best behaved I've ever seen him, though of course he did laugh when we entered and I introduced him to Vernon, but not to his face, to me afterward.
The wedding went by smoothly though I kept feeling tense because I was worried James would try to pull something.
Luckily he didn't.
When we got to the place where the reception was held Anne, Sam (boy), Sam (girl), Edward and James and I were all put at the same table, mostly because we were the underage ones.
We talked with muggles civilly, and whenever he was confused he would send me a questioning glance and I'd mouth something to him, Anne almost forgot about the whole crucio thing. Notice how I say almost.
'Um, I have a question,' Anne said just after we had all finished our meals. 'What is a crucio?'
'Um, it's a curse word at our school,' this was James saying not me! 'It means to torture somebody, or at least that's the definition we've made up.'
'What school do you go to?' Edward asked, he's my soon to be cousin and despite his older brother's (Vernon's) appearance he was kind of cute.
'Um, It's a small school about seven hours out from London.' Was my response.
'Six hours?' Sam, the girl, exclaimed.
'Yes, but they rent a train for all the students.' James said once again, swooping to my rescue.
'That's so cool.' Anne had said and then we talked about Anne's muggle school.
Dancing started and Tuny danced with dad and Vernon danced with mum, which was interesting.
We watched as so many older people danced, we went and danced randomly sometimes, me and Anne, me and the Sams, me and Edward – Well he actually asked me, but don't worry, he couldn't stop talking about his girlfriend, Bella – But never me and James.
James and I had pleasant and civil conversations ranging from what he wants to be after graduation – Auror incase you wanted to know. – To whether a snitch was actually gold to whether an old family heirloom – a wedding band – was for a girl or boy.
He put it on his finger and said 'It doesn't look right.'
'Maybe you're not really a Potter.' I had jeered but he had just laughed.
Then he surprised me by sticking it on my finger – my pointer not ring – and admired it.
'It's a girl's ring,' he declared. 'It looks much better on you.'
As Anne approached he made a hasty move to stick the ring back in his pocket, apparently it was his turn to keep it with him…I don't know, when I asked him about it he muttered incoherently.
Before we knew it the DJ was announcing last song, a song called 'Hey There Delilah' this is when I realized that I had been away from muggle music so long that I didn't know this song.
James stood up and offered me his hand expectantly; I took it, I think. I can't remember if I even took it or not just that seconds later we were dancing to a song unknown to the both of us.
This is the song, I looked it up on Anne's computer -
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
The song finished and everybody clapped but we stared into each other's eyes and he leaned in to kiss me but then backed out, I was disappointed…is that weird?
The night was pure bliss, and now he has to go home … (sigh).
Write me soon.
Lily
Padfoot,
I almost kissed Evans, and then I didn't, I don't know what's gotten into me, yesterday I would have died to be that close to her and so close to kissing her. I would never have hesitated, but now I can't come close…
Prongs
Prongs,
Sirius sent me this letter and said 'I don't know what to say! I'm horrible at the whole touchy feely thing!'
So here's my diagnosis:
That's great that you almost kissed Lily, great for you that is. If I may suggest possibly writing your dad for help, but here's what my dad says…
JAMES,
YOU MUST REALLY LOVE LILY IF YOU CAN'T KISS HER, ACCORDING TO REMUS YOU ARE QUITE THE PLAYER, I CAN'T RELATE BUT I CAN GUESS THAT BECAUSE YOU LOVE LILY SO MUCH YOU CAN'T TREAT HER LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER GIRL. THAT'S JUST MY IDEA.
JOHN LUPIN
My dad wasn't yelling, that's just the way he writes. But personally I think he's right.
Get her to want to date you and then you'll be able to kiss her.
Moony
Lily,
I'm so glade you had a good time, and that James didn't ruin anything! It's so out of character for James to not want to kiss you…what did you do?
Well anyway I can't wait to see you in a month…you ARE coming to my house for August because you have to…
Clara
Moony,
Thanks…I think…YOU TOLD YOUR DAD I'M A PLAYER?!?!
You weirdo…
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that will work, tell you dad thanks for me.
So do you want to come down for a weekend while Sirius is here we'll plan for the school year and fill Peter in on the train.
OH CRAP! Lily's coming!
Hello Remus, you told your dad James is a player? That's a laugh…but true…sadly.
So why is he thanking your dad? I'm going to investigate, SECRET AGENT LILY! (It's a muggle thing.) Well anyway I'll see you at Peter's house next weekend.
Lily
Hmph, the nerve of that…UGH!
But I think that's a good plan, you come over for a weekend while Sirius is here…we'll do that. I'll talk to you when I get home again.
James
James,
I trust you got home safely? Um, you left something at my house; I've put it in this envelope but you should know that I've read it…I'll see you at school.
Lily
James…you left this:
Prongs,
Sirius sent me this letter and said 'I don't know what to say! I'm horrible at the whole touchy feely thing!'
So here's my diagnosis:
That's great that you almost kissed Lily, great for you that is. If I may suggest possibly writing your dad for help, but here's what my dad says…
JAMES,
YOU MUST REALLY LOVE LILY IF YOU CAN'T KISS HER, ACCORDING TO REMUS YOU ARE QUITE THE PLAYER, I CAN'T RELATE BUT I CAN GUESS THAT BECAUSE YOU LOVE LILY SO MUCH YOU CAN'T TREAT HER LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER GIRL. THAT'S JUST MY IDEA.

Moony
Lily,
Well secrets out…I'm madly in love with you…I was planning on telling you then disappearing but I can't really do that seeing as I have another year to go.
I love your flowing waterfall of fiery red hair.
I love how opinionated you are and how nothing can change said opinions.
I love everything about you and I wish you could be mine but I've screwed it up, so I'm sorry.
James
Epilogue:
Lily,
Can't wait for school next week, by the way I was re-reading some of the letters form earlier in the summer and I re-read one that said that you agreed to kiss me this year and I've decided that you don't have to anymore. So, I'll see you…by the way I got Head Boy…I assume you got Head Girl…but anyway I'll see you at Hogwarts.
James
James,
I'm Head Girl. See you at school.
Lily
Mum and Dad,
You remember that girl I went on about all summer – Lily? Well we're head girl and boy so we had to tell the prefects about their responsibility on the train. So afterwards she was about to leave but I took her by the arm and she looked at me with so much hate and loathing but – and I don't know what made me do it – I kissed her.
Call me insane but it was one hell of a kiss! (Sorry Mum)
And she didn't push me away, she was actually – or so it seemed – enjoying it!
When we finally pulled away she ran out blushing, I don't know if that's good or bad but I must say that I don't care because I finally kissed Lily Evans…I've been bragging all train ride to Moon – Remus and Sirius and they finally suggested – sarcastically I might add – that if I'm this happy that I should write to you both.
I'm sorry if you are scarred for life.
You loving son,
James
