I watched her as she slept. She looked so angelic. I didn't want to disturb her. I know she hates me but I can't help the fact that I love her. My friends tell me to get over her. But they don't know how hard it is to get over someone you love. I feel as though I have grown up this summer. I think she has noticed and it trying hard to hate me anymore. I have stopped asking her out every hour. I have stopped using girls as objects. I realised this after I watched Sirius pick up a girl in a bar. She looked like she hated him, but she ended up sleeping with him.

I watched her for the whole night. I just sat there and watched. I sat under my invisibility cloak even though no one would see me. Watching her is amazing. I could do it forever. Then she woke up and as if she knew I was there, she walked over to me and reached out. I reached out from under the cloak, but it was still over my hand, and touched her hand. When it did, she didn't gasp or anything, she just pulled it off me and put it on her bed. She took hold of my hand and straddled me and hugged me and buried her head in the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around her. I just leaned my head on hers and closed my eyes and slept.

We slept in each other's arms. For that I was in heaven. One of her roommates came in, and squealed. I groaned because of two reasons. I had been woke up by a squealing girl from a very good dream about Lily and mine's future, and because the girl that squealed was one of my fan club, so she rushed into the bathroom. I pulled away from Lily slowly and kissed her cheek. She smiled. Calmly, I did something I had done many times before but never REALLY meant it.

'Lily?'

'Yes, James?'

'Would you go to Hogsmeade with me today?'

'Yes.'

For once she said yes. I must have had this weird face on because she laughed. I was in heaven for the second time that day. Lily was in my arms and she had agreed to go to Hogsmeade with me.

Thus the beginning of our future…
