Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
A/n: I got this idea when I was listening to The Click Five song, Just The Girl. Hope you like it.
James Potter watched as the girl of his dreams walked across the snowy grounds. She seemed happy and content as she talked to her best friend, Ashley Wood. He knew she loved the snow. That girl was the one and only girl he wanted. That girl was Lily Evans.
The light breeze blew her red hair around her and caused her to pull her robes tighter around her. Oh, how James wished he could be the one to keep her warm.
Lily and Ashley sat under the Beech tree, continuing on with their conversation. It started to snow. They were small flurries of soft white snow and fell delicately to the ground.
Lily pulled Ashley up and they abandoned their spot under the tree and began twirling in the snow, letting the snow fall onto their faces.
James watched Lily from the lake with a smile on his face. Sirius Black rolled his eyes and waved his hand in front of his best friend's face.
"C'mon." Sirius muttered.
He finally slapped James on the back of the head.
"OW!" James yelled, rubbing his head. "What the bloody hell was that for?"
"For not snapping back to reality in time." Sirius teased. "What sick daydream about dear Lily were you having this time?" he continued.
"My daydreams are not sick or perverted." James defended. "Unlike some people."
Sirius grinned.
"Well, what was it then?" he asked.
"That I was holding her in my arms and keeping her warm as we kissed…" James said, letting his mind wander.
"Wow, that sure has changed." Remus Lupin joked.
"You know…" James said.
"What?" Sirius asked, trying not to laugh.
"I…I ah..."
"Exactly." Sirius said, laughing.
Remus rolled his eyes.
"What?" James asked.
"Nothing." Sirius said, his laughter dying down at last.
"Can I please study?" Remus asked.
"Let's go inside then." James told him, his eyes wandering slowly to Lily and Ashley who were heading inside.
Now, it was Sirius's turn to roll his eyes.
The three boys got up and walked under the roof of the outside corridor just as it began to snow really hard.
James noticed he was standing right next to Lily who was staring at the snow with longing.
"I'll be along in a second." James muttered to Remus and Sirius, gesturing them to go.
"Pretty, isn't it?" James said to Lily.
She jumped a bit and looked at him.
"Yes, it is." She replied.
Ashley looked between them and Lily gestured for her to go on. Ashley left with a last glance back at James and Lily before she disappeared around the corner.
"You want to dance in the snow with me?" James asked.
"Not now, James. We have to go to the Head Dorms and study before patrols tonight." Lily replied sadly.
James nodded. He had let her make a schedule for the two of them so they could fit patrols and homework in perfectly. She had and they used it. James liked it because it planned it all out and gave him good times for Quidditch practice.
"Let's go then." He said to her.
She nodded to him and gave the falling snow a small smile. James smiled behind her.
She turned to face him, still smiling, and they walked through the corridor to the warm air of the castle.
