Falling
Chapter One: Eyes Only For Her
Me, Sirius, Remus and Peter were sitting in the Gryffindor table eating breakfast and talking about Quidditch, practices, homework, lessons, yada yada yada.
My eyes were drifting along the lines of students while Sirius started explaining about his new pranks strategies.
As I looked at the entrance she stepped in with her Gryffindor friends and my heart gave a little jolt, like always.
They were all laughing and joking about something. A huge green was plastered upon her face and her eyes were sparkling.
But for a split second I saw something different in her eyes. A mixture of emotions - she looked tired, sad and even lonely. Her eyes drifted away to a far place I wish I knew.
Then one of the girls addressed her and in a blink her eyes were full of joy again. She smiled and broke into a giggle.
They sat down at the other end of the table and continued to laugh, but I couldn't forget the look on her face. For the first time in seven years I wandered if she really had friends. She was popular, sure, but did she really have someone to share her feelings with?
She was different and I doubt someone really understood her.
I directed my eyes to Sirius again and saw the knowing look on his face. He didn't need to ask, he already knew which witch my mind was going to.
"You've only got eyes for her James." He once joked in first year. He didn't know how true it was.
Sirius was the only person who knew how deep my love for Lily was. Yes, it was a known fact I had a 'thing' for her, but Sirius was the only one except me who knew it was much more then that. How I, in first and second year, used to sit in the Gryffindor common room for hours doing nothing hoping that maybe she'll pass by. Or how I had a scarf she once forgot somewhere under my pillow, it still has her scent. Or how...
But although Sirius knew all about it I don't think he ever understood why.
Why did I fall for Lily Evans.
Why her from all people.
And why I still loved her after all she put me through.
I shook my head. I can get so caught up in daydreaming.
We finished breakfast and made our way to the Charms classroom. We seated ourselves in the second row when she came in with the other girls. And sat - right in front of me. It wasn't hard to guess where she'd sit. Lily Evans wouldn't miss a class even if her life depended on it. Perfect student, perfect grades. Prefect and this year Head Girl. She was a complete goody two shoes - when it came to school.
I looked at her amazing red hair. She always put it up. Ponytail, tomato, braid Etc. It was such a rare sight to see her with her hair down that even I saw it's real length only about 5 times. She even didn't put it down when she was asleep, but please don't ask me how I know that.
This time she put it in two braids - Redlocks. The boys used to tease her endlessly for her red hair. And she hated it. I remember the time she hexed Amos Diggory from Hufflepuff. He spent the entire week at the infirmary. Her temper is famous here. Which makes her even more attractive to some. As I heard they: 'like 'em feisty.' I prefer not to think about it.
Filtwick entered and the class began. It's not my best subject but I can manage... But she's the best in the year. Even her wand's good for Charms. Willow made, swishy, ten and a quarter inches long. It's weird, since she's a muggle born, but I guess she's a natural.
Muggle born. I remember the look on her parent's face when they brought her to the Hogwarts Express. I found it funny, it all seemed normal to me. I'm a pure blood, there isn't a trace of muggles in our blood. It seems important, as my father mentions it in every family reunion.
My father. Jefferson Rupert Potter. A senior in the Ministry of Magic, owner of the Potter manor, close friends with the Minister of Magic, top of his class at Hogwarts, important donator to Magical institutes and such, Godric Gryffindor blood runs through his veins, a huge fortune holder - and a muggle born hater.
Of course, it's all well hidden from the press. But my father doesn't let me forget for one second who we are. If he'll discover I'm head over heals for a muggle born he'll probably have a fit. No, I was raised up for more then that. James Daniel Potter will marry a high society girl and will proudly continue the generation of the Potters. I don't think so.
It really doesn't matter what *I* think though, since he never listens to my own opinion and needs anyway, but I'm not going to tolerate this for long. I'm becoming an Auror straight after Hogwarts and moving as far away as possibly from my father's reach. That is, if I'll be with Lily by then. If not I'll just have to wait and see where she'll go. And then I'll follow.
Yes, my thoughts always come back to her one way or another...
But that's not something new.
A/N I'm sorry it was so short but I wanted it to end in the right place.
