Chapter One

"JAY!" The 8 year old voice of Lily Evans called as her head popped over the side of the fence between their houses, "want to play?"

"Sure Lils!" The slightly, one year, older boy replied going to hop the fence "what?"

"I dunno anything, I'm bored."

"Hmm OK.. Tag YOUR IT!" He screamed taking off and running across her front yard.

"NO FAIR!" She called chasing after him. And so the rest of the afternoon was spent, the two next door neighbors laughing and running around until of course there mothers called them in for dinner.

!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!

-Two Years Later-

"Lils?"

"Yeah?" Replied Lily, now ten, as they lounged in James's front yard gazing at stars.

"My parents are sending me to... Boarding school this year."

"Oh" she replied softly. After a few minutes of silence she continued softly "When do you leave then?"

"September First"

"Well... We have a month then... Lets make the most of it"

"Yeah" James replied softly "I'm gonna miss you though"

"Same here Jay, Same here."

!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!OOO!!!oOo!!!

James and his parents were standing in there front yard there car was packed and they were ready to take James to Kings Cross to send him to school. Lily and James were hugging one last time before they left.

"Promise to write?" Lily asked.

James looked at his mother over Lily's shoulder, when she smiled and nodded. He replied "Of course," knowing if he owled his letters to Lily to his mother she would make sure Lily got them. "Promise you'll write back?"

"Yeah" she said softly they let go of each other.

"See you Christmas break" James said as he climbed into the back seat of the car. Watching and Waving to Lily until they turned at the end of the street. Slumping back into his seat, he smiled, thinking My First Year at Hogwarts, It's going to be a blast. Wish Lily could come though.

"Hey Mom, do you think there is any possibility that Lily would get a Hogwarts Letter next year?"

Hey I'm back! Aren't you happy.

I was inspired to write... I don't really know where this story is going I'm making it up as I go along, but I wanted to write a story where they were neighbors. Can you tell I don't like following OOTP? :-P anyway... I don't know how often I'll update Senior year is pretty crazy... I don't know how much time I'll have, ill probably update a couple time before I go back though. Luckily I only have one college app left... Ahh I hate college... Ill make that clear now... Just cuz I feel like it.

Anyway... I'm off to start chapter Two, one was really just background stuff... Not really anything I'm not gonna do every year I'm probably going to skip to fifth or sixth. Anyway, Review! HAPPY NEW YEAR! And hopefully ill have another chapter up really soon. :-D
