~*~*~*~*~*James' POV*~*~*~*~*~

I flew up the wall, veiled by my invisibility Cloak, and saw her. Lily Evans was awake in bed, eyes reflecting the starry ceiling. I had loved her ever since we moved in a month ago, but she wasn't to know that. If only she wasn't a muggle...

Lily was right by her window, which meant that if she turned her head, she would fall out. It looked as if she was going to turn and look at the majestic sky and fir trees above the rooftops of London. And she did. Lily screamed as she fell out the window, and I caught her in my arms, stunned.

A mass of wavy red hair framed her bright green eyes. Her skin was ivory, and her cheeks, pink. I had never seen anyone so beautiful in my life.

I floated to the ground, her cradled in my arms.

~*Lily's POV*~

I fell into the arms of James Potter, my next door neighbor. I noticed him before, but never had gotten this close. My parents had taught me never to trust anybody that you hadn't met before, so I flexed and turned and tried to run away. But, he caught me and pulled me into a tight kiss. I melted into him, and then heard a voice calling, "Lily, where are you?" I twisted out of his arms and ran to the house. But then I looked back, and when I saw the hurt in his eyes, it killed me.
