Disclaimer: there is a rumor going around that I invented harry potter. Contrary to popular belief, sorry to break your heart, its actually J.K. Rowling. We love you your Highness!

(A/N) I really wanted to keep this whole story from Lily's perspective, but there are certain things that I couldn't explain from her point of view. So if anyone has a major problem with it, tell me and i'll re-write it! Im sorry! I really tried!

dancinquyn: thank you for the review! I love when new people start reading! Here have a candy!

ilovecaptainjacks: Did that siriusly happen to you! Oh man that is embarrassing! I originally had her just like getting knocked into him, I don't know what made me think of her hand in his lap, but I thought it was funnier so I used it. Thanks for the review; your debt is repaid lol.

jumboshrimp: ohh! I feel so special! Simon thanks you for listening to him, or in this case since im simon does that make him a her? I dunno, im confusing myself, oh well it doesn't take much. Lol. I really appreciate the review!

KLLRS: sorry I guess I didn't make it as clear as I thought it was (if that sounds mean its not supposed to, im just having a hard time wording it to sound nice!), I was worrying about that, but in the previous chapter the a/n was that you would find out later, so you aren't missing anything, phew... Glad you are loving it! Happy birthday, your present is another update!

Remusly-Moony: Hey maria, love ya, I kinda don't know what to write to, since your standing right in the room! Ta! Thanks for the feedback!

shining stars: hehehe...you used one of my examples, that's awesome! Im glad you like it! I was hoping if I wrote something like that the people who I know are reading would review, but obviously not, oh well. Every review is precious, and as my first review from you, im gonna lock it in a box! Stupid....printer....oh well, later maybe. Thank you much for the evaluation. Lol.

Okay, hmmm......well I wanna thank alllllllll of my reviewers! You guys rock my socks!

Hmm... just curious... what do you guys listen to when you are reading/reviewing but most importantly writing? Just a curiosity, for authors do you listen to music the way the story is going to go, or something totally random?

On with the Show...argh...story!

Everything, Lifehouse

Find me here, and speak to me.
I want to feel you, I need to hear you.
You are the light that's leading me to the place where I find peace,
again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light, to my soul.
You are my purpose, you're everything.

And how can I stand here with you, and not be moved by you?
would you tell me 'How could it be any better than this?'
yeah...

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now.

'Cause you're all I want
You're all I need
You're everything, everything

Ow!!!

The rocking of the horseless carriage sent Lily sprawling into my.....lap. It's a very painful place to be landed upon, if you ask me or any male on the face of the earth for that matter.

I couldn't say a word, my voice probably would have been ten pitches higher anyways. So I just sat there hoping my face wasn't contorting into one of pain.

Lily was positively mortified! But all Krizz and Sirius seemed capable of doing was laughing their little heads off.

Krizz politely suggested departing, and dragged the dog with her. Now it was just me and Lils.

Man was she embarrassed!

I noticed Lily was trying to say something, so I quickly apologized to myself for her, "I know," I started, the pain hadn't quite subsided, "you are really really really really really sorry."

I could see her already impossible shade of scarlet increase, and smiled on the inside.

"Yeah," she said in her mouse-like voice, the one she only reserved the most special of occasions, "that about sums it up!"

The grin I felt on the inside for making her speechless, must have shown on my face, for Lily's deep emeralds showed a small twinkle of suspicion.

"I think we should go," I suggested, "I'm starving!"

I slowly opened the door, I didn't want it to appear to my dream girl that I was trying to get away from her, so, I let her go through first.

As I leapt out of the coach, I saw Lily's mysterious orbs looking up to the heavens. I looked up to see the stars, the twinkling reminding me of the one that was constantly found behind Dumbledore's half-moon spectacles.

"Brilliant! Aren't the stars positively sensational?" I didn't want to stand there with an awkward silence.

My Flower didn't answer, so uncomfortable I tilted my head as high as I possibly could, hoping she wouldn't see my reddening face.

"You know," She began, the fire-head was speaking to me! "I never knew anyone's neck could be so flexible."

Obviously, she did notice the extreme stretching of my neck, and I laughed only because I felt slightly embarrassed.

Most of the rest is a blur, except for the fact that Lily grabbed my arm! I'm never washing my elbow again!

Oh wait, you are right I was wearing robes where she touched me.....hmmm........dang it!

Well, the next thing I remember I was using the 'technique' on Lily. I chose the ceiling as my object. The technique is something Sirius and I had developed. It allowed me to enjoy the beauty of Lily Evans face without her noticing.

This is how it works, you stare at an object for a long time, then the 'victim', if they are actually 'watching' you back, see you constantly staring at this object and take a look for themselves. Then while they are looking at the thing, you can study them, and bask in their beauty.

Needless to say, Lily fell for it, and I was free to watch her all during the Sorting.

Until......she caught me, the clever girl, and I couldn't control the small blush creeping into my face.

I was overjoyed to see that she blushed and looked down in return!

Padfoot would be so proud!

I shifted my hazel almonds back up to the enchanted ceiling.

But this time, I felt very alone. I was missing my parents again. It often happened since the end of sixth year.

But Lily helped me through, calming the raging storms within my soul and I was finally given rest after all my grieving. The lily blossom was the light that lead me to where I could find peace again. She took my breath away, so delicate, just like the flower she was named after.

Lily Evans was honestly all I wanted and needed. She was everything to me, the only other 'family' I had was Sirius, Remus, and Peter. But none of them affected me like Lily did. She held my heart in her hands and didn't even realize it.

How can anyone not be moved by Lily?

How could it be any better than being with her?

Dumbledore finished his typical beginning of the term speech and mounds of Hogwarts' delicacy popped up in front of my face!

I scrambled to grab everything I could get my hands on. I grinned to myself as I saw Lily wince at Sirius's and my appetite.

Slosh! Mashed potatoes had just been caked onto, if I do say so myself, my flawless face.

Sirius really needs manner lessons.

Mental note: bring umbrella while eating next to Padfoot...

o-o-0-o-o

After the most-exquisite feast ended, and after the prefects', Lily, and I showed the terrified First Years to the Gryffindor Common Room, Pretty Lily and I found ourselves in the presence of our wise Headmaster.

Dumbledore lead us through a series of complex paths. Lily tried very hard to remember the path but gave up angrily, me on the other hand, I've been this way thousands of times. So, I just observed Lily's cute pouting, while jovially strolling down the familiar path.

Finally Dumbledore came to a stop in front of an intricate wall-hanging of the Hogwarts' Crest.

"James, Lily, your dormitory is through this tapestry. The password may be changed by you from the inside, but, until you change it, it remains Chizpurfles."

Concurrently, I saw the proud lion spring to life. He appeared to be running towards us. As the lion threw up one of his sharp-clawed paws, a growing rip appeared, and eventually it was large enough for us to walk through.

I shut my eyes and stepped into the gaping whole, I didn't want to ruin my surprise.

The lids of my orbs lifted and I was greeted by a pleasant and cheery sight. A few squashy chairs, one small table, and a massive couch were sitting around our Common Room fire. I knew where the infamous Marauders were going to spend their free time.

"I am glad to see you are pleased with your new quarters, and shall be departing, if you don't need anymore assistance. Good evening!" I saw Dumbledore faintly smile as he left with gleaming pale blue spheres.

"So," I expertly started, "Shall we check out our dorms?" I held up my arm hopeful she would take it.

Lily's beautiful complexion was now glazing over with a warm pink.

My emerald eyed tiger looked from my eyes, down to my toned arm, and back to my hazel pools.

Lily raced forward, "Bet I'll beat you up the stairs!"

"No fair! You Cheated," I called up to her, quickly catching up and overcoming her.

"Ha!" I was triumphant!

"No fair! You Cheated," she mocked me.

Both of us gleefully traveled a couple of steps down the rich maroon-walled hallway. I saw two doors on opposite sides of the hall. One of the doors had a golden plate that flickered, as the flames danced within the candles. I read the inscription, Head Girl, Lily Evans.

Lily must have read the door on the left at the same time, for we both turned around, in the narrow hall, and ended up face-to-face.

Her sharp jade spheres saw deep into the depths of my earthy ones.

I could feel the tension building around us. My face was so close to Lily's I could feel the heat radiating off of it.

"I....uh...uh....yeah!" Both Lily and I mumbled out. She quickly looked to the floor for support, and I to the ceiling.

We both, by chance, gazed at each other at the same time. Then I stepped to my right as Lily stepped to her left.

I chuckled as she giggled.

We both walked into our respective dorms, and I glanced back at her just in time to see her giving me, James Potter, a genuine smile.

I never would have believed the lovely Lily would look at me with adoring eyes at any point in my life.

But, sometimes things don't go the way you thought they would, sometimes it's even sweeter.

"Lily with skin so fair, eyes so green, bright red hair," I plopped onto my bed right after unpacking, hoping she wasn't catching a word of what I was saying. "You are the one for which I bleed. Wish I could tell you, you're the one I need."

I stared for hours into the canopy of my queen-sized bed, the scarlet hangings gracefully falling around my mattress and encompassing my bed. Would she ever be mine?

Make sure you tell me what you think! Cuz otherwise I'll be lost and won't know what to do! I was so excited when I saw how quickly I got my reviews! So I put off my homework to write this for you! Hope you liked it!
