A/N: Hello everyone! Here is chapter one of L'amour Inderdit. Please review? I didn't get any reviews for my prologue *tear*. Anyways, here's an author's note (if you read the first one, you don't have to read it again - it's just the same thing).
Yes, I am writing two fictions at one time. This idea came to me after my friend told me to write a novel out of it (with my own characters, plot, etc.), after it came to her in a dream. However, just as I wrote all my character sketches, plot lines, etc. I decided "what the hell! Lily and James fiction ALL THE WAY!!" Hopefully I'll have a good response to this fic, as I am so hyped up about it. I just couldn't bear to wait until I finished my other fic In This World. For those of you who are reading this fic, as well as my other one, know that I will not abandon either of them. I am going to try my absolute hardest to get a chapter of each story out every week. I may even do more, if I have the time. However, if I am not receiving much attention to one of the stories, but quite a bit to the other, I may decide to concentrate on the one receiving the feedback, until it is completed, then finishing the other one. How does this sound to you? Ahhk, I am SO excited. This Lily and James fiction IS different from a lot of them out there, so please - sit back, read - and most importantly, enjoy!
As well, if anyone would like notifications of chapter updates, leave your e-mail address in a review, and I will notify you of updates!
Summary: Lily and James are victims of what some call "Forbidden Love". Coming from different pasts, each has the duty to fulfil different destinies...apart from each other. Then, Lily begins finding letters - from a mysterious person, and past...
Disclaimer: Characters recognisable to readers do not belong to me. The idea for the ORIGINAL version of this story came from my friend, who I give credit to... Right now she's getting all excited that I'm writing this. The idea for the Lily and James version, c'est MOI! Everything else, i.e. Characters, Hogwarts, etc., belong to the incredible J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. MOI'Z! My heart belongs to you! haha.
I'm not writing anymore disclaimers after that on so there you go! Please don't sue!)
L'Amour Interdit

Chapter One: The Beginning of it All
Lily Evans and James Potter sat by the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room. They were laughing amongst themselves, discussing how a mere year ago, Lily "hated" James. James of course, didn't buy it, and chased Lily around since forth year, trying his absolute hardest to get Lily to go out with him. Lily finally agreed after she saw he had "deflated his big head" in seventh year, and deciding she might as well give him a chance. Once Lily truly got to know him, she realised that James was really a kind and caring man, with a big heart... however, the child in him was quite obvious.
The portrait opened, and in strolled Sirius Black. He looked around the Common Room and surveyed the scene in front of him:
Lily laying on the couch with James, her head resting on his chest, while James was kissing her lightly on the neck. Lily's fiery red hair (which matched her temper as Sirius had been so lucky to see), clashed horribly with James' own raven black hair.
Sirius walked over to the couch, tapped James on the shoulder and cleared his throat. "Ahem," Sirius started, and the two sprang apart in shock. Lily looked at Sirius in startled horror, which caused him to laugh, and Lily to begin biting his head off.
"Sirius, you prat! You scared the shit out of us! Can I never get any peace around here!?"
James sat behind her sniggering, his arm around her waist. It was that exact temper which made him fall in love with her. For three years straight, he tormented and played prank after prank on Lily Evans just to see her lose her temper. Some called her temper scary, while some guys, like James, found it sexy. Lily looked at James once she realised he was laughing at her.
"You! You - you..." James looked at her and smiled innocently.
"Me what, baby?"
"Ughhhh...just you!" said Lily, irritated first by Sirius, and now by James. Although, she could see the hilarity of the situation.
"Ahem," Sirius once again cleared his throat. "Chloe, Peter, Eddy and I are all going to Hogsmeade. We wondered if you two lovebirds wanted to come?"
James looked at Lily and they both mentally agreed on going. After getting their cloaks, Lily and James met Chloe, Peter and Eddy in the Entrance Hall, Sirius skipping ahed of them.

Lily and Chloe were leading the group to Hogsmeade, talking animatedly about the Christmas Holidays. It was Christmas Eve, and holidays started three days ago. Unfortunately, Remus was unable to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays, and instead had to go home to visit his sick mother (who was, by the way, ill). The boys, on the other hand were engaged in a heavy conversation about yes, you guessed it - Quidditch. As they entered the village of Hogsmeade, the two groups became one, and they immediately headed towards the Three Broomsticks. Sitting in a booth towards the back of the bar, they ordered six Butterbeers. The silence which had engrossed the group as they took their first sip of the soothing warm beverage, was interrupted by Sirius.
"So everyone, what's up?" he asked, a cheeky grin on his face.
"Uhmmm, the sky?" responded Chloe, uncertainly. She knew he had something up his sleeve and approached with caution.
"Uranus!" James exclaimed. Sirius opened his mouth in shock.
"That was my line, you meanie!" Peter, Lily and Chloe all rolled their eyes at the childish jokes. The first time was funny...
The group of friends sat around the table talking for about an hour, before they decided it best to head back to Hogwarts. Tomorrow promised to be a long day, with it being Christmas and all, and they wanted to try to get as much sleep as possible. Eddy and Chloe walked ahead of the group, Eddy's arm wrapped around her shoulder. Lily thought they looked adorable together. Eddy with his blonde hair, brown eyes, and Chloe with honey coloured hair, adorned with blue eyes. Absolutely perfect, she thought, looking up at James, who had his arm wrapped around her waist. Lily smiled inwardly, and leaned on James the rest of the way back to Gryffindor Tower, where they kissed each other goodnight, each heading up to their respective dormitories.

Lily woke up to Sirius bounding excitedly around the girls dormitory. She moaned as he jumped on her bed yelling happily "It's Christmas, Lily! Wake up so we can open PRESENTS!" Lily looked over at Chloe's bed and discovered she wasn't there. Moaning, she told Sirius she would be down in a minute, after she brushed her hair.
"By the way, Sirius, how did you get in here," Lily asked puzzled. There had been a spell placed on the girls' staircase, and Sirius shouldn't have been able to get in her dorm.
"I have my ways," he responded, mystery in his voice.
*
James looked up as he saw Lily walk down the stairs leading from the girls' dormitory, his heart swelling. Everytime she walked into a room, she brightened the mood. Getting up, he kissed her lightly on the lips. "Happy Christmas," he smiled and sat her down beside him, as she wished everyone a Happy Christmas, earning many in return.
Presents were unwrapped with eager anticipation, and everyone thanked one another for their wonderful presents. Lily had received a large amount of books and candy, all meaning a great deal to her. However, nothing surpassed what she go from James. A necklace and bracelet which had a piece missing from each. James pointed out that once Lily realised who her true love was, the missing piece would appear attached to her set, and she would then give the pieces to her love, and they would forever be connected, no matter what. Lily had tears in her eyes as he explained, and thanked him heartily.
James received an engraved watch from Lily, the outer edges reading LE + JP, as well as a gift certificate from Zonko's, which he was absolutely estatic about.
As the group sat around talking, Eddy noticed something outside. Getting up, he walked towards the window in the Common Room, earning weird looks from the others, that is until they all realised what he was looking at and James immediately jumped up.
And that's when it all started...
