DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OR ANYONE YOU RECGONIZE, JUST THE PLOT LINE!!
Weeks and months passed without hearing anything from Jame or of James. Slowly he slipped out of my mind and I began letting Bryan into my life. I became the happiest I had been in a long time.
James-
Of course I still miss you but thinking of you only leads to depression, and you would want me to be happy. I hope. The guys approve of Bryan and so do Alice and Marlene. He's simply perfect. Of course, he's not as perfect as you, but he's pretty damn close. We're actually moving in together in a couple of days. I'm still keeping the flat, only Sirius is going to be living in it because of that project he's been working on in that room for you. I hope you get this letter and all the others I've written to you. I just want to let you know I will never stop loving you and that this is probably the last letter I will ever write to you.
Lovingly Yours,
Lily
I sealed it and put it into that desk with all the others I've written to him in the past few months.
"Lily?" I heard Alice call, "Where are you?" No doubt I was running late for our Girl's Night.
"Hold on! I just need to finish getting dressed!" I called out from my closet sliding on one of the many dresses Bryan bought me last week. The reason for this whole girl's night is because Alice & Marlene both think that once I move in with Bryan that'll be the end of me. Personally, I think they're both crazy and being over dramatic. Anyways, they were taking me out to this new restaurant on the other side of town that is supposed to be the place to be for both people like us and the muggles.
"Well, hurry up! We have reservations at 10 and it's 9:57! I don't want to be late!" She finished as I entered the living room. "Oh, Lils. You. Look. Amazing!" she squealed, "Now, come on! We're leaving right now!" and she grabbed my arm to begin side-long apparition out of my flat to the restaurant.
My flat was filled with boxes of my stuff along with Sirius' stuff as well. I was finally moving in with Bryan, and I couldn't stop smiling. His house is, of course, huge, due to the fact that he's a pro quidditch player. The house, more like mansion, lays on the outer area of the Southampton area. It's a french country-side style "house" with 2 floors, a quidditch pitch, and this huge side garden, it's simply beautiful. Of course, I'll need a map to be able to navigate through it the first few weeks most likely.
"Lils, are you ready to go?" I heard one of my boys ask me from behind the clutter of boxes near the front door, I think.
"What? Oh, yeah. Just let me put this key on the desk and I'll be ready!" I called out from where the boxes labeled 'Hair Products' in Sirius' writing were.
As I made my way out of the bedroom for the last time most likely, something hanging on the wall caught my eye. It wasn't a picture, or a painting, but a note written on the back of James' 7th year class schedule. It was the note that changed our lives.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Give me that right now Potter!" a seventeen year old Lily Evans yelled at a messy haired James Potter.
"Sure thing, Evans." A smug looking James said and handed it over to the red-head just as McGonagall entered her classroom and told all the 7th year Gryffindors and Slytherins to be quiet. As Lily sat in her seat she turned his schedule over and scribbled something down and slid it to him. As he looked at it he read,
Just ask me already Potter!!!
He smirked at that and wrote,
Ask you what Lily?
That only made her frustrated so she continued,
You know what!!!!!
No, I don't think I do.
She looked at him after she read that and saw the mischievous gleam in his eyes and his signature lopsided smirk, that she had slowly learned to love.
Fine then.
He didn't write back for awhile, he just sat there starring at the back of his schedule. It wasn't until halfway through the lesson that he finally did pick up his quill and respond.
Will you, Lily Evans, bgo out with me, James Potter? Happy?
He still had that smug smirk on his face when he passed the paper back to her.
No
He looked over his shoulder and the smirk was wiped off entirely.
Maybe
After she wrote that his eyes lit up like a little kid opening his Christmas presents and that was when she realized she really didn't hate him or dislike him or find him annoying. That was the moment she realized that after 7 years of claiming pure hatred, she actually loved him, deep, deep down.
Maybe?! Are you serious?? Or is this a joke?, a new hand scribbled in
Butt out Padfoot!!! You're ruining the moment!
Yeah Sirius!
They heard him chuckling at them for the conversation they'd been having.
So, I actually have a chance at a chance???
No
The light and glint his eyes had fell off of his face.
You're having a chance as of a minute ago.
After reading this James leaped from his seat and held the piece of paper waving it as though it was a flag. He began to yell, " She said 'yes'! Lily Marie Evans, the girl of my dreams said 'yes'!!!!"
"Technically, mate she said maybe and no but whatever floats your boat."
"Mr. Potter, sit down this instant!" McGonagall said with a smile on her usually stern and strict face.
"Sorry Professor."
"Just don't let it happen again Potter." And with that she continued on with their first Transfiguration lesson of their last year.

I heard my name and felt a hand resting on my shoulder, which brought me out of my past. When Bryan and I apparated out of my old home a sense of closure washed over me. I couldn't help but think that, that chapter of my life was finally finished, never to be resurrected. When we appeared in my new "home" all of the boxes I had which overwhelmed my small little flat, seemed so tiny and out of place in Bryan's foyer. With a wave of his wand the boxes began unpacking themselves.
"Welcome home, Lils." Bryan whishpered into my ear.
"So, Bryan not that we've finished the hardest part of moving, what do you want to do?" I asked giggling as he swooped me up and into his arms.
"Well, darling. There are many things we can do," he said with a smirk on his handsome face, "Although sadly there is nothing we can do right this instant, do to my quidditch practice in 30 minutes, and I need to be there in 10."
"Oh, you never told me you had quidditch today," I quietly murmured the giddiness disappearing.
