Not mine, Hestia's P.O.V
J is for James,
In any sane persons eyes, Lily Evans wasn't very fond of James Potter.
From highest tip of his scruffy hair to the sticker stuck on the bottom of his shoe was disliked by her.
She hated the things he said, the things he did, his Quidditch obsession, everything.
So the day she agreed to go out with him was a surprise for James, people were handing over money from bets. I myself gained 237 gallions, 56 sickes and 12 Knuts. I was very happy that I could buy those new boots in Hogsmeade.
The truth was, to Lily, it was all an act. When Snape had abandoned her, Lily had been lost. Her longest friend had gone, just like her sister had and Lily couldn't handle it. She began to think. We girls in the dorm realised long ago they were destined to be together long ago, but it took some time for her to understand.
She came into our dorm many a time saying
"I'm going to Hogsmeade with Liam Smith this weekend" Or something. Lily was pretty, so she nearly always had good dates; at least we always reacted well.
"I'm going with Liam Smith this weekend." She said,
We all screamed, bounding towards her.
"No way!"
"What? The really cute Ravenclaw?"
"Ahhh! Who asked who!" We had shrieked at her.
"He came into the library and stood on one of the desk and without looking at me asked if the prettiest girl in the library would go to Hogsmeade with him. Loads of girls said yes and then he calmly climbed of the table and walked towards me and said, "I was talking to Lily." And I said yes." She blushed as we all 'Awwwed"
"I'm going with Peter Johnson this weekend."
"No way! He's a hotttie!"
"NO! He said yes?" That was I!
"Wait, what?"
"Hestia dared me to ask him out and he said yes."
"Oohh! Lily and Peter sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes - oof!" They put a sock in my mouth at that point.
"I'm going with Colin Daniels."
"Ewww… Lils, he's gross! He picks his nose." Me!
"But he's pretty good looking Hest."
"I guess, hey Lils! Can you ask him if he really has warts in the shape of a frog on his foot?" Me again!
"Ewww…. Don't do that! It'll completely ruin the date!"
"Don't ruin my fun Alice. It's bad for you." Yep, me again, just in case you couldn't guess.
"Guys, really? He's nice. He helped me with my transfig homework."
"Oohhh, so you're only going out with him so he'll do your homework? Sneaky." Guess who?
"Nooo…." She said, in a voice that obviously said 'Well Duh!'
"But, He gave Potter a black eye when he threatened him for going with me!"
It was always 'He beat Potter' or 'Stood up to Potter' or something else. So you can imagine are surprise.
"Guess what?" Lily shrieked, running into our dorm at stupid hours of the morning. We sat up, rubbing our eyes and yawning to see her bright-eyed sat cross-legged on the end off my bed. Looking the complete opposite from our bed headedness.
"What?" Alice
"What?" Hayley
"What? I guessed it!" I grinned as they all glared at me.
"Haha, Hest. My sides are splitting in your hilarity." Lils said dryly.
"I know. I do try my best."
"Anyway. I'm going to Hogsmeade with James."
"Oh, you came all the way from your heads dorm at 2.30 just to tell us your going to Hogsmeade with someone?"
"Which one?"
"NO FRGGEN WAYY! How? You're going with James Potter!" I shrieked.
Everyone went silent and slowly, Lily nodded.
"No Way!"
"Finally! It took you long enough!"
"Will you name your first girl Hestia? Hestia Lily Hayley Alice Potter! I likey!"
"Why am I last?" Alice pouted.
"Because, my dear friend, you are going to grow up and have little Alice and Franks running around. You're more likely to have a child then Hay. No offence" I added, glancing at Hayley.
"None taken.' She said, watching Lils. "What made you say yes?"
She cheeks heated up, nearly the same colour as her hair.
"Umm… well. I think I kinda started liking him during the summer while we were all at Hay's. And then.. I… umm…." She hesitated, looking into my eyes as if she wasn't sure what our reactions would be.
"It was in our common room… He was bored and I tried to entertain him... And then, well, then, umm…" She bit her lip. "I kissed him." She blurted out.
Aww, he kissed her. How cute, wait! What?
"You kissed him?" We all shouted at the same time, emphising on the 'you' and 'him'.
She nodded, chewing on her lip.
"OMG! Lils! That's amazing! He's one lucky guy!"
"Lily and James Potter, has a ring."
"We should throw a party!"
"Guys," Lily grinned at us. I was already planning the party. "We're not getting married!"
"Yeah, but Lils. You are going out with Potter, the guy you used to hate."
She smiled,
"It's James now"
James P.O.V
I was in that funny state between dreaming and being awake, y'know? Where your conscious, but no really. I could see the light streaming through my curtains and my eyelids. I must have left my curtains open, and my drapes. Although, I only did that when I was tired. Full moon was only last week, patrols were on Thursdays and Saturdays, and Sirius and I didn't have our night out until Sunday.
I shook the funny thoughts out off my head and carried on with what I would normally do. I pulled on my robes and brushed my teeth. I picked up the gel in the bathroom I shared with Lily and flattened my hair down. The front was slick to my scalp but the back was still scruffy after a few minutes so I gave up like I normally did and scuffled it up.
I headed down to the common room and saw that Lily was sat by the fire. She smiled at me, her tsavorite garnet (My mums favourite stone.) like eyes glistening as she made her way towards me.
"Morning James." She had started calling me James when we weren't in public. She kissed my cheek and slipped her petite hand into mine, pulling me outside the safety of our tower.
I remembered.
Lily, Me Being Bored, Our Kiss, Her Agreeing To Go Out With Me, Her Running Off To Tell The Girls, The Guys Reaction. Lily Evans was my girlfriend.
"James? Are you okay?" She looked at me with concerned eyes, and my heart skipped a beat as she said my name. I don't care if that sounds girly.
"I'm Fine Lily," I said truthfully. Loving how her beautiful name slipped off my tongue so easily and wondering how one girl could make me feel so happy.
"In fact, I'm so happy that the most beautiful girl in the world is going out with me, I could sing."
"James!" She gasped, faking heartbreak. "How could you double time on me?"
"Oh, I'm not." I cupped her face and pressed my lips to hers.
"James," She murmured.
I hope she never stops saying it.
