Hi all, this is quidditchgirl13! I was impressed by the reviews that I had gotten, and here's the new chapter! Enjoy:-)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own it, but that doesn't mean I can't wish I did!
Chapter 2
After dinner, Harry sat down on his cot in Ron's room and started exploring the chest. He took out James's photo album first. It was dated September 3rd, 1971.
There were pictures of various events: The first feast at Hogwarts, Halloween, Christmas with the Marauders, Lily (Harry laughed when he saw this), summer at The Potter Manor (which shocked Harry). The pictures just kept rolling on through the years at Hogwarts. Towards the end, there were more and more pictures of James and Lily as a couple. Harry even got to see his grandparents on his dad's side, along with various cousins, aunts, and uncles of his dad's.
The second album of James's was the marriage, Harry, and everything up to their death. This was already in Harry's possession, given by Hagrid.
He felt so robbed of a childhood. He had missed having a mother and father to live with, to love. He had never had friends before childhood, and never knew what it was like to have a family. He could never talk to his parents, or spend time with them and be aware of it.
Instead, he had the Dursleys. Everything but a family. No one to love. His life had started at Hogwarts. Hogwarts was his home, and the Weasleys were his family.
Before he went overboard in self-pity, Harry picked up Lily's diary and opened it to a random page.
October 24th, 1976
Dear Diary,
I can't believe what just happened! James asked me out! Yes I know what you're thinking (Okay, not thinking); James has asked me out a ZILLION times before! (Harry sniggered.) Why am I so surprised and happy? Because I said YES! Let me relive the moment.
I was sitting with Elle and Jen in the Common Room and talking. Suddenly, James came over to me and asked, "Lily, can you come out on a walk with me around the lake?" I thought about it for a second. James had really changed. Usually he just asked me in front of everyone. This time, I could see it in his eyes that he really meant it and was hopeful I'd say yes (I knew he wanted to ask me out!). So I said, "Yes, I'll come with you." "You will, Lily? Okay, come with me." James said, and we walked out of the portrait hole in silence. Then we reached the lake. James started "Lily, I'm sorry I've asked you out so many times, I thought it as fun. But this time I mean it. I really like you, Lily. I always have, and it's grown more as the years pass. Will you go to Hogsmeade with me?" I really couldn't refuse. I knew and could see that he meant it, and I felt the same way about him. "Yes, James, this time I will. I feel the same way." I said. By the end of that sentence, we came closer and closer, until our lips touched. My first kiss was with James Potter. I was in a position half the girls in Hogwarts dreamed of to be in with him.
So, what do you think? I think this is a start of a great relationship.
Bye for now,
Lily
Harry was smiling by the end of that diary entry. He never had known how his parents had gotten together. Last time he had seen them in the Penseive, they were fighting! Ron and Hermione entering the room broke his thoughts.
"Harry, I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow we have to leave early to go to Diagon Alley." Hermione said. "You two should too."
"Okay I will, Hermione. Good Night." Harry said, and he shut the door. He and Ron quickly changed into their pajamas, got into bed, and before long, Harry fell asleep. He dreamed of James and Lily on their first date…
So, what do you think? I would like to know. Please please please please REVIEW:-)
Thanks.
