Ok everyone so this is my first fan fiction ever...so when you review(if you want to)...be nice...all comments are acceptable. So this is a song fanfic based on the song "For You I Will(Confidence)" by Teddy Geiger. Enjoy.LJ.Oneshot.

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING. The lyrics belong to Teddy Greiger and the characters to my idol J. K. Rowling.

For You I Will

Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

James Potter sits under the beech tree by the lake, staring thoughtfully at his fellow &th year Lily Evans, whom he has truly loved since 4th year. She is sitting by the steps leading into the caslte with her friends laughing at something James can not hear, he doesn't care though, he just wants her.

"God I love her laugh" he mutters to himself.

Oh, I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

"I've changed for her yet I still don't have her," he thinks to himself. He gets up off the ground, brushes the dirt off of himself, and begins to walk over to her, ready as he will ever be. "It's now or never."

Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

As he walks over to her, flashbacks of his past flash across his mind. The first time he saw her. The first time they hugged. The way she looked every time he made her angry. When he cried into her shoulder when he first heard that his parents had been murdered. When she did the same when she found out her parents had been murdered by the same hand as his. The first time they kissed.

Oh, I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you
As he gets closer he stops, only a few feet away.

"If she turns me down again...will I be able to take that rejection, that pain?"

"What's life without risks," he answers himself, and ventures on.

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echos in every room
I would
That's what I'd do, That's what I'd do to get through to you, yeah

"Lily can I speak with you in private?"

"Sure James what's up?"

"Lily I've changed for you. I've given you some space and have stopped hexing the first years and the Slytherins. I've gotten my grades up and have become more serious. I love you Lily Marie Evans and for the last bloody time will you go out with me?"

Oh, I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

"What took you so long, I was beginning to worry," she said taking him into her arms and kissing him. That was answer enough.
