The Beginning of Something

by it's a riot

Sick of cliche Lily and James stories? Well, so am I...so I wrote this. Most people tend to think that Lily Evans and James Potter are meant for each other...But were they really one another's (-gasp-) true love?

1. A Prologue to Get This Moving

The Beginning of …Something

Disclaimer:  There's no J.K. Rowling here and all the characters from the Harry Potter books belong to her.

Prologue:

            You haven't the slightest clue as to what I'm talking about, do you?" a girl of 17 years called to the boy walking ahead of her.

            -Freeze Frame-

            As we look about at this girl of normal stature, we realize that right now something important is going on.  Her auburn curls seem to twist in fury, matching the look upon her delicate face that has broken many hearts.  Not intentionally of course.  The pain shows in her eyes (a simple shade of dark green) as she stares at her "one true love."

            At least that's the way the story always goes.

            Her true love is James Potter, by the standards of all fanfiction writers everywhere.

            But is he really?

            True, she may have fallen for him, but is he the cause of this flutter in her heart that won't go way for an instant?

            Not in the slightest.

            And at any rate, is there even such a thing?  As "true love," that is…

            I suppose we'll find out…
