Alright, so I've had this huge mental block for a while, and that's why it's taken me so long to update. SORRY! But please review!
James Potter sat down after his Sorting at the Gryffindor table beside a small girl with fiery red hair and glinting green eyes. He remembered that her name was Lily Evans. Someone had mentioned it on the Hogwarts Express and he had taken special note. For he had never seen a girl quite like Lily Evans.
The strangest thing was that he found her beautiful. He knew that he had to have her all to himself. And he was eleven. Every other boy in his year thought that girls were icky. James had thought this until he had laid eyes on Lily Evans. She was definitely not icky.
He only realized that he was staring at her when she turned towards him, an annoyed look on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" she enquired with hostility.
Before he could really think, James blurted out, "You're pretty."
Lily Evans gaped at him, and then the shock on her face turned to anger and she crossed her arms.
"Pervert," she said.
James blinked. "What? I-", but the Headmaster had begun to speak. James frowned and closed his mouth, but he knew he wouldn't give up. Of course she wouldn't love him immediately. He just had to keep trying.
That was the first time he'd been rejected. And it was to be the first of many.
