Happily Forever After?

Chapter 1

James

I couldn't concentrate on my homework. Why did I have to spend so much time thinking about her? She's perfect, that's why. I thought.

She just walked into the Library. She picked up her small hands and swung her wavy auburn hair over her shoulder to pick her bag off of it. She set it down on a chair only two tables away from mine.

She took out a big text book. I wish I could help her pick it up; she is so small for a fifth year. She sat down and got out a piece of parchment, opened the book, and started writing. I watched her beautiful green eyes, filled with thought as she read sentences of the book then wrote something down.

Her best friend of all time, Samantha Newly walked in and sat down next to her.

"Hey Lils, oh look at you, doing your homework at the beginning of the week, come on, we just got it today, it's not due for another whole week!" I heard Sam say to her.

"I know, but I'd rather get it done now and have more free time later." Lily said not looking up from her piece of parchment.

"You are such a prat." Sam laughed.

"Mmmhmmm." Lily murmured, "At least I don't spend all my time, falling over Sirius Black."

Oh wait until I tell Sirius this, he's liked Sam since last year.

"I do not fall over Sirius, I just like him that's all." Sam blushed.

"Whatever." Lily said still not taking her eyes off of her piece of parchment and her book.

"Hey, at least I'm not in love with James Potter." Sam giggled.

Oh my goodness, does she really love me. Do I love her? What am I thinking? The only thing I have done all year was studied Lily Evan's live. Her hair, her eyes, her face, her habits, like biting her nails when she's thinking. I know everything about her. I know more about her than I know about me!

"Shh," Lily blushed heavily. "He's sitting right there."

I quickly looked down at my blank sheet of parchment and opened my text book, pretending to read a page.

"Come on talk to him!" Sam prodded.

Yea, come talk to me!

"Yea, right, he wouldn't give me the time of day, he probably doesn't even know my name, and we are in the same house and same year!"

Yes, I do know you! I love you!

"Come on, I dare you." Sam exclaimed.

"Fine!"

I heard her chair slide against the floor as she stood up and walked over to me.

I saw her hand in my face and I looked up to meet her beautiful eyes with my plain brown ones.

"Hi I'm L-"

"Lily Evans." I finished for her.

"Yes, I mean, how do you? I mean, your James Potter." She stuttered.

"The one and the only." I blushed picking up her hand and kissing it.

"Hello then." She said turning red.

"Yea, um Hi." I giggled, pulling the chair next to mine out. "Please, sit down."

"Um, ok, thank you."

It was until this point that I didn't notice I was still holding her hand, I quickly dropped it and we both blushed.

"So did you come her to ask me anything?" I asked thinking, you are so stupid James.

"I-uh-yea." She stumbled over the words, "Um, did you do your potions homework yet?" She asked finally.

"Uh yea, I just started, want to do it together?" I asked politely.

"Sure." She said happily, "I'll go get mine."

I watched her as she got up and walked to the table.

"How did it go?" Sam asked.

"Um, ok." Lily blushed, "We are going to do our potions homework together now, I'll tell you all about it later, I promise."

"Ok, good luck!" Sam said smiling, "I'll talk to you later, oh and try to ask if Sirius is single!"
