Hypocrites Always Fall in Love
A Lily and James story. The story follows their lives from the beginning to the end. Tends to be a bit humorous (or so I'm told), so hold on to your hats.
This is my first fanfiction, and is also posted up on the message boards at harrypotter.com. This story is based on evidence and clues from all the Harry Potter Books currently being published (1-5), and theories my friend and I came up with.
Disclaimer: I own nothing here, except most of the plot (minus what JKR told us in the Harry Potter books). The characters you think sound familiar, are most likely familiar to you, because they are property of J.K. Rowling. But the ones you don't recognize belong to me. Okay? Okay.
Prologue-
A young man, just barely over twenty, stood silently in his thoughts. He felt prisoner to his feelings, too many emotions seeping into the depths of his heart. The pain was almost unbearable. He tried to remember back to the good times. Although he could not think of them now, he had had many joyful occasions with the pair. He often thought back to the day they had first met. Of course, he had known the boy since the day they were born. They had always been best friends. He recalled how his best friend's eyes sparkled when he first laid eyes on her...it was almost too much too think about.
So, I suppose for this man's sake, we should start at the beginning. I believe the young man would like you to note that this is one story you shalln't forget. Just remember that through it all, neither had one single regret, since they realized, even though they were just out of childhood, that true love is always worth waiting for.
Chapter One- A Thing Called Fate
"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off –", James yelled, pointing to the back door.
Wordlessly, with tears flowing down her face, she looked at him, somehow knowing this would be the last time she would gaze into the warm hazel ocean of his sparkling eyes. Lily stumbled out of the living room, and ran up the stairs at a frightening speed. She made a mad dash for Harry's crib, and just in the mist of doing this, she heard the door of their beautiful home come crashing down.
----------------------------------
Lily Evans awoke in a cold sweat, her eyes brimming with fear. She had been having this same dream over and over again, though some parts were clearer than others. She had never fully gone through the whole dream, and she supposed that was why it came back to haunt her….but, then again, she was no physiatrist or dream-interpreter, or whatever-you-called-them.
She sighed. It was no use. She had no idea what the dream meant. Lily twisted a lock of curly, scarlet hair around her finger in confusion. She didn't know any Jameses, which was as good a reason as any not to have a son named Harry with him. For heaven's sake, she was only ten years old! Er… well, eleven in about two days.
So on this beautiful July evening, she sat on the window seat of her room, staring at the glittering moon, and thinking about her destiny.
She had no idea that the one who shared her destiny was doing the exact same thing at the moment.
--------------------------------------
James Potter looked over at his best friend, Sirius Black, and scowled. What good is a friend if he doesn't want to get up at midnight and prank his sister with you? And he'd had the perfect prank planned, too, thank you very much! What was he going to do with the three cases of Filbuster's fireworks that could set people's hair on fire? But nnooo… Sirius couldn't even go three days without sleep? How pathetic! How were they going to pull all those pranks at Hogwarts that they'd been planning since they were four years old?! You have to be pretty much nocturnal to pull them off!
They had always been best friends. Just the two of them. What happened? Best friends don't bail out on each other! Sirius was just acting plain old stupid!
He glared silently at the full moon, as if it was the cause of his unhappiness.
I wonder if Sirius and I will still be friends when we get to Hogwarts, He thought quietly. This made him uneasy. He couldn't picture having fun and pulling pranks at Hogwarts without his best friend.
Then, unknowingly, he and Lily said something at the same time… as though it was a sign of things to come….
"I guess it's up to fate."
