I decided to make a second chapter from James' pov. Special thanks to AnnaLangdon, my first reviewer. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter!
Disclaimer: Nothing has changed. I still do not own Harry Potter.
He loved her. He had loved her from the very first moment he saw her. She was so different from any other girl he had met and he liked that. He loved the way her entrancing green eyes sparkled when she yelled at him and the way they glistened in the afternoon sunlight. He loved the way her wavy, red hair stood out from all the other heads in the Great Hall, practically shouting that she was special. Her smile could light up even the darkest room, although she didn't show it very much.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
And indeed she was. She didn't fall for his legendary charm like all the other girls did. She didn't seem to be affected by his delightful smile which everyone told him was one of his best features. And she didn't laugh at his pranks or jokes like all of the other people would have. He loved how she was unique and passionate about her beliefs and how she was so focused on school and succeeding in it. She was the most beautiful, extraordinary individual he had ever met.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
But he hated how she never directed her smile at him. He hated how she could never cut him a break, especially when it came to playing insignificant, silly pranks. It wasn't any of her business what he did and he hated how she always acted so superior over him. She wasn't any better than he was and he wished that he could make her see that.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
But what he hated the most was that she would never love him as much as he loved her. From his first year on, he had been obsessed with her, savoring every conversation, every interaction he had with her. But he knew that she hated him and that she dreaded every confrontation she had with him. He wished, more than anything, that she could be his, even if only for a day. He wished that she would give him another chance and see what a kind, caring, mature person he could be. How well he could treat her. But she would never know how much he loved her. And that killed him. Little did he know, his wishes would soon come true.
The song in this chapter is called "Beautiful" by James Blunt. I thought it fit the chapter pretty well.
Please Review.
Thanks, Katie
