Underneath It All
Summery
James Potter is the most popular guy in school, but only because of his wealth and looks. He never talks to anyone besides his 3 best friends if he can help it. And James has one rule: never fall in love, but what happens when he meets Lily Evans? Because buried under all the money, good looks and Quidditch is a heart of gold.
Disclaimer
Hogwarts, most of the teachers, Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Hogsmead and anything else you recognize belongs to J.K Rowling. Lily's friends and anyone or anything you don't recognize belongs to me, including the plot.
Author's note
This is my first story so I don't mind constructive criticism but no really mean flames, also I'm trying to make this a non-cliché fic so if I'm doing that wrong please tell me, constructively of course. As much as I loved OOTP I'm ignoring what J.K Rowling said about Lily and James in it. So the stuff in 'Snape's worst memory' didn't happen. Lily is in sixth year in this and James is in seventh. Also, I'll be switching POV with chapters (between Lily and James), Savvy? (if you recognize that world, you'll know it's from Pirates of the Caribbean..My all time fave movie.
So anyway read n' review, hope you like it!
It was cold, very cold. It was probably the coldest day in England that year.
The students of Hogwarts all sat in their common rooms in front of the fire or covered in blankets
All except one 17-year-old boy.
He stood outside, among the snow and ice, barely taking in his surroundings.
No one saw him, which was saying something, as he was the most popular kid in school, but no one noticed him, save perhaps the headmaster, who was looking out of his office window at the boy, a worried, even pitying expression on his aged, wise face.
Outside, the boy was getting restless. It seemed to be a habit of his lately, he very rarely could stay in the same place for long. It bothered him, bothered him that he was so fidgety. But it was probably the least of his worries. He would endure a lifetime of restlessness if he could just be like everyone else; normal.
But he could never be, not with a family and a reputation like his.
When he was home there was always arguing, arguing between his Mother and Father, sister and Mother, brother and Father. Practically everyone in his house yelled at each other, so much for the happy family everyone thought they had.
Then he came to school and it wasn't much better.
Girls were always either fawning over him or stealing glances at him. Everyone else, who were half normal, skirted around him in the halls, afraid to run in to him.
Because he was dangerous, apparently.
Dangerous and scary. No one dared to cross his path.
That wasn't the way he wanted it, but that was the way it was.
With a start he remembered he had a meeting with the Head Girl in 5 minutes.
Sighing, James Potter made his way back up to the school.
Sorry that it was so short, it was sort of a introduction thingy. I'll write a longer chapter next time if you review.
Anyway have fun and review.
