Now I Know What Love Is
Disclaimer: I have no intention of profiting from this story. J.K. Rowling owns James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Lily Evans. I own Ella Butler and Courtney Grant.
Summary: Lily Evans wished with all her might that someone could come into her life. Someone so special that she could fell the spark's sizzle when she first meets him. So, she's turned to the world of regency romance writing, until her wish comes true.
Authors' Notes: Ahh. I am so bad. It has been like 6 months. I'm horrible. Evil me, evil me. Well, hope ya like!

Lily put her hands out in front of her to break her fall. "Ungh!" she murmured softly as she fell against the hard macadam. She heard the screech of breaks and looked up into the bright headlights of a car, momentarily blinded.
"Madame!" James cried as he looked at the scene unfolding before him. He rushed out onto the streets and fell to Lily's side. He looked down at her, she was breathing heavily and had fear written across her face. She looked up at James, and then smiled before she fainted.
The driver opened the door of their car and came out, joining the crowd of people gathering around Lily and James.
"I'm so sorry. Is she alright? I didn't see her. Lily!" A female voice cried out with a mix of curses.
James looked up at the blonde. "The lady has fainted, madam. She is unavailable right now."
The blonde narrowed her eyes. "I can see that. I'm her room mate." she said, trailing off, and looking him over, apparently liking what she saw, "C'mon. Bring her into the car. I can drop you off at the apartment. I was on my way there."
James shrugged and picked up Lily, following the woman who opened the back door of her car. James laid Lily down across the back seat and sat next to her.
"Where are the horses?" he asked when the blonde climbed in.
"Horses?" she asked, turning the key in the ignition and starting the car up again.
"Yes, horses. They move the carriage along." James replied.
The blonde gave him a look of mixed amusement and confusion, but she nevertheless answered: "I know what horses are."

A short drive back to the apartment and Lily was awake and conversing with the blonde who was Ella.
"So who is this James fellow? He looks so familiar." Ella asked, taking a sip of her iced tea.
Lily dug through her bag and pulled out another copy of her latest bestseller. She pointed to the man on the cover, and then looked over to James who was trying to figure how to turn on the TV.
"He looks exactly like the guy on your book." Ella concluded.
"I know." Lily said.
"You don't mean . . .?" Her roommate asked astonished.
Lily nodded. "At least I think."
"I can't believe Courtney would do something like that! I never though she would of. That was weird of her." Ella said.
Lily sighed. "I swear you are so dim." She said.
Ella playfully punched her.
"Hey, watch the tea!" Lily cried, moving away and laughing.
Ella smiled smugly and stopped. "He is really cute. What's his real name?"
"James." Lily said.
"Last name?" Ella prodded.
"Potter."
"No!"
"Yes!"
