A/N: I really don't care that I don't have many readers, so I've posted another story. It's just cool to write. Why am I saying this? This is the damn story explanation, not a fricken "pour out your sorrows and be happy" page. Lol. So this is a l/j fic. It takes place three years after their graduation from Hogwarts. They haven't seen each other because-well, just read the stupid prologue and find out. Hope you like chapter one. I'm pretty sure that the later chapters are somewhat longer, and im sorry for such short early chapters. Anyway, go and read before I start babbling uncontrollably about French fries and zephyrs and Bob ½. Don't even ask.
Disclaimer: I really do wish that the characters and places used in this story belonged to me, but unfortunately, that only happens in my dreams. They all belong to J.K. R.
I Still Love You
Prologue
It's been three years since they last saw each other. Their relationship ended because she was misinformed. He went after her, but she was gone, not to be seen for what seemed like an eternity to him. She soon found out that her information was wrong, but she was far too embarrassed to return to him. This is the story of how, quite by accident, their relationship was reborn.
Chapter 1
The Beginning
How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone

Lily Evans stepped reluctantly out of her steamy shower, carefully wrapping a towel around herself.
Later on, as she applied her make-up, she thought about the Hogwarts Reunion Ball taking place the next night. It would be so much fun, she'd get to see all her old friends.
At the other end of the city, James Potter was just tumbling out of bed. The phone was ringing off the wall, and he was about to kill whoever was at the other end.
"What?" he growled into the phone.
"Oh, you're there Prongs! Well, I was just wondering what time we're supposed to be in work today?" Sirius' voice said.
James sighed. "It's Saturday, Padfoot, there isn't any work. Goodbye."
"Right well, thanks, and-" But James hung up and flopped back into bed. He was out cold in two minutes.
--------------
James woke again to someone shaking him. He blinked up at the intruder.
"Oy! Prongs! You're awake!"
It was Sirius.
"Am I? I was damn in the middle of a good dream." He rolled over and looked at his alarm clock. 10 am. Three hours since Sirius called.
"Well, did it consist of you making out with ten hot women and none of them caring?"
"No, just a kick-ass Quidditch match."
"Oh, well than I don't want to hear about it." Sirius replied.
"Lot of good you are." James mumbled. "How'd you get in anyway?"
"Simple unlocking charm, mate."
"Really? I'll have to fix that." James replied.
"You do that, Prongs."
James glared at Sirius. "If you came here just to be annoying, than I suggest you find something to do quickly, while I take a shower."
"Fine! I'll go fix the damn door!" Sirius grumbled.
"Good job."
