*This all happened two years after Snape's Worst Memory. So, the
Marauders/Lily are in their Seventh and final year at Hogwarts.*
Chapter 1
James Potter was sitting on a couch in front of the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room. He was watching his friends Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black play chess. Or at least, in Sirius' case, trying to play chess. He smiled slightly as another one of Sirius' pieces got dragged away.
After a while, he had gotten bored of watching Remus win. He turned his head, and scanned the room for a certain redheaded girl. He found her, and as always when he saw her, his heart leapt. She was beautiful. She was sitting in the corner of the room, with her best-friend Kayla, and was reading a book. He watched her for about five minutes, before he realized that she was looking back. She smiled at him, before she turned back to her book. He still kept his gaze focused on her. That is, however, until his so called best friend had rudely interrupted his daydream with a snap in the face.
'Look Remus! I think Prongsies found his mate!' came Sirius' voice, while Remus was left sniggering beside him.
'Oh sod off, will you?' said James
'James, you should just ask her out,' said Remus
'Again!'' interjected Sirius
James chose to ignore Sirius' reply, and said, 'I already have! About 327 times! She hates me!'
'You've been keeping track then, eh?' asked Sirius
Again, James chose to ignore his friend's words. He, instead, listened to Remus.
'James, she doesn't hate you,' he said
'Yes, she does!' said Sirius, ' Remember in 5th year? That remark about the Giant Squid..ring any bells?' James groaned at this comment in frustration.
'Sirius, your not helping!' said Remus, 'Anyway, that was two years ago! Things change! People change! Look at you!'
James knew his friend was right. People do change. He certainly had. But he wasn't so sure that Lily had changed her mind about him. Sure, she'd smiled at him when she caught him looking at her (which was quite often), and she had been friendly whenever they had spoken this year. But, he still didn't know if she had changed her mind about him. He hadn't asked her out for almost a year now, but his feelings were as strong as ever.
