5 Years Later:

James:

James Potter was sitting under a tree of the grounds of Hogwarts, his gold snitch fluttering above him, he would catch it, let it go, and then catching it again before it got away. Some people would find this quite boring after a while. but not James, he found it somewhat peaceful.

"Hey Prongs!" James heard.

He captured the snitch in his hand before sitting up and looking over to find two of his best friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, walking his way. Sirius had a smirk on his face as usual and Remus had a book in his hand. Typical Remus. Remus was usually the one that kept them out of trouble and made sure that they got their work done. He was also made prefect that year. They believed it was some kind of ploy so Remus could keep James and Sirius out of trouble, not that it worked so well.

"Hey Padfoot. Hey Moony." Jame smirked.

Many people thought that their nicknames were ridiculous, but they didn't know that there was a story behind them. Over the previous summer, the guys had finally mastered their Animagi form. James a stag, Sirius a dog, and Peter a rat, together the three of them could spend the full moons with Remus and keep him in line.

"Guess who I saw sitting by the lake.." Sirius said nudging James in the side, "Lily, and dear old Snivellus." He said before James had a chance to respond, not that he was going to. Ever since 3rd year when they found out that James fancied Lily they would pick on him constantly, Sirius mainly.

James rolled his eyes at his best friend. No one ever thought about and or noticed that James Potter fancied Lily Evans since the two of them were enemies, they whole school knew it too.

Eventually Peter came out too, and sat with them. They had no clue where he had been all day, but didn't question him on anything.

It was around 3 pm that afternoon when James saw Severus Snape walking across the grounds and heading over to the lake.

James stood up, "Hey Snape!" He called.

Severus stopped in his tracks, "What do you want Potter?" He said darkly.

'First mistake..' James thought, he and Severus had been doing this for 5 years and he never learned.

"Nothing Snivellus..." James smirked, as Sirius tried not to laugh at Severus's face as it was growing redder and redder by the minute with anger. Severus took a step towards James. "What's wrong, Snivellus?" James asked.

Severus whipped his wand out, "Stupefy!" he yelled, quickly.

But James was quicker, "Protego!" James said.

People started gathering around and watching the two boys dual.

"Levicorpus!" James yelled and Severus was levitated into the air, by his ankle. He tried to move, but he was frozen. Severus was beyond furious at the moment.

"POTTER!" James heard.

"Who want's to see me pull his pants down?" He asked as people started to laugh, and turned to find a steaming mad Lily Evans, "Hey Evans! Enjoying the show?" He smirked.

Lily was furious, "Put. Him. Down." She said.

"Whatever you say Evans..." James said giving a shrug and with a flick of his wand Severus fell to the ground, "Your lucky Evans was here to save you Snivellus." He sneered.

James saw Lily take a step to go help Severus, but stop cold when she heard Severus's reply, "I don't need a mudblood like her to save, me..." He said darkly.

James's wand snapped back out faster than you could say 'Gryffindor', "Take that back!" James said pointing his wand at Severus. James was so close to hexing him when he heard Lily yell.

"Fine!" Lily yelled, she looked like she was holding back tears, "Next time I won't save you! Your on your own Severus." she said the turned to James. "And I don't need you sticking up for me!" She yelled before turning away and running back to the castle.

"Tough break Prongs..." James turned to find Sirius, he had forgotten that he was there.

"Yeah..." James said.

Later that night James was sitting in the Gryffindor common room everyone had gone up to bed. He had been thinking about to days set of events. Especially what he had just heard, Lily's final conversation with Severus. She hadn't known he was there. "You've chosen your way. I've chosen mine. Goodbye Severus." she had said. He had heard her stifle a cry as she went back to bed. James had been thinking, that maybe today he had gone too far. Severus had chosen his way, Lily chose her's, and now it was time for James to choose his.
