On random notes of parchment/I'm scrawling my existence/dressed in white…
This story was inspired by my own life and that line from the Atari's song, "Unopened Letter to the World".
Random Notes of Parchment (Prologue)
The day before her wedding, Lily chronicles her life with James.
I never thought I'd be here… I can't believe even now, as I sit at my desk. If you had asked me years ago if I thought I would marry James Potter, I would have laughed in your face. Potter? Potty wee Potter for a husband? You must be joking, dear.
But, if there is still any doubt in my mind, it's banished by the dress in the corner. The white wedding dress, next to the photo of us kissing is hard to argue with. So is the ring on my finger, all proof that tomorrow is the day.
You know the day, don't you? The day little girls dream of? That day when they walk down the aisle with their daddy and walk back up it with their new husband? Mine is September 21. It's going to be a beautiful day.
But, let's backtrack just a little. I'm not writing this about tomorrow. This is all about yesterday, and the days before that. It's about where it all started. And where it all started is Muggle School.
