Disclaimer: they're still not mine (unfortunately!)

A/n hello, it's me again, I had a little bird flying around my head telling me to write this. It is actually about me and my boyfriend. The circumstances all fit, but they're just not at Hogwarts. Lol. If you have the time I'd love some reviews so I can improve my writing. Thanks to everyone who read my last story. I know, this is a completely different story, but its something I really like, and it is a good reminder to me of how lucky I am! Thanks again!

I don't know how it happened, all I know is that one day I found myself in love with my best friend. Yes, love. I always watched him from afar, I never let anyone but myself know how I felt for him. Never once did I admit it out loud. How could I? I mean, this is my best friend. He was always so kind to me though. He'd dance with me at dances, even asked me to dance once.  I know, it sounds stupid to be amazed at that, but, there were so many girls who liked him, asked him out, and fought for his attention. I could have been one of them, quite easily, but I didn't want to fight a cat fight for him. Why would he like someone who could be that possessive over something not even hers? So I stood by him as a friend and sympathized with him, talked to him, and most certainly laughed with him.

One day, that all changed. My best friend told me, that he liked me. It was amazing, probably one of the most amazing moments in my life. A few days later, we were going out. Didn't even tell anybody. Our friends knew of course, just knew. Time passed and we grew closer and closer. The perfect couple. We had our spats, our fights, but you need those to make yourselves stronger. I still remember the most important times we spent together in perfect detail. My favorite had to have been at Sara's house, a fellow house mate, we were staying overnight after seeing her summer stock play, and following multiple tournaments of foosball we had settled down to play Nintendo. Sara was being used as the common pillow, until James wrapped his arms around me while Sara played, and I shifted over to put my head on his chest. It felt so right, with his blue eyes looking down at me into mine. I felt at home.


We've been together over a year now, its truly amazing. We were fourth years, now were almost done with our fifth year. We've made it through so many things, and we've come to understand each other. I truly do love him. His eyes let me know that everything will be alright, even when I'm looking at hard roads ahead. His touch can make me shiver with happiness. The way he talks to me, I know that everything will work out. We'll make it through like we're supposed to, together.

A/n I hope you guys liked that. Its ok, im not sure I exactly like it. But I needed something to remind me of how lucky I am. Its all true too. So many people fought for his attention, and I just stood back and lent a sympathetic ear. And still I got picked out of the crowd, I remember how lucky I am everyday (the glares shot my way have nothing to do with it!) and hey, if u have a chance leave a review, im always looking for improvements!
