Y/n's POV:

7 years. You still haven't found your soulmate. All you friends had figured out who their's was in 2nd or 3rd year and had been together ever since. So you were definitely the loner of the group. You only knew of a handful of people, at Hogwarts, who hadn't found their soulmate. The Marauder's, Severus Snape, Lily Evans and you. You hoped on your life it wasn't Severus, although you weren't to keen on the Marauders either. Everybody assumed that Lily and James were meant for each other, but the phrases they were given did not match up at all.

See when all wizards and witches get their letter to Hogwarts, they get a phrase that's engraved on all their books and it's like a tattoo on your wrist. That phrase is the words your soulmate will speak to you when they realize they're in love.

Normally it's super easy to find the one, but for you... not so much.

Everyone knew James' : you know your real thick, she likes you.

That was not even close to your friend outside your ravenclaw house, lily, whose happened to be: i will alway be there for you. Always.

So wholesome right? Not James Potter-ish at all. Poor girl was in love with him but he wouldn't ever say that phrase to her. Yours was even worse though.

Your not even close. That'll never happen.

So.. your soulmate was probably a jerk which adds up with the options left. Peter Pettigrew was a no, you had known each other way too long. You thought it might be Sirius, which most girls wanted to kill you for if you suggested, so you kept that to yourself. He was mean-ish, handsome, he could do. But then there was James, who all your friends kept telling you it was, but you avoided him like the plague because you knew it would end badly, and you couldn't do that to lily.

"N/n! Pay attention! You have to pick a dress, dove white? Or.... Maybe... Sirius' house colors... gold? Or your house colors, blue? She held up three dresses.

"I think the.. blue, i guess is more my speed. " You two had been doing Yule ball stuff alllll day. You were tired. You were hungry. You wanted to go to the ravenclaw commons.

She picked up the gold, "then this is mine." She said. "And molly gets the white."

"You know what I'm gonna take the dress and go study." She complained but you were already gone.

You took your time though. Today was a weekend so people were either with their families or friends. In the girls cases, getting ready for a ball that is literally tomorrow..

But the corridors were mainly empty which was nice.

A brisk air blew in and tickled your neck. Goosebumps rose as you felt someone near.

"Show yourself." You made a mental note to sound less like a Gryffindor.

"sHoW yOuRsElF" you jumped.

"Potter! You can't just sneak up on people." You tried steadying your breathing. You thought you were gonna get kidnapped or worse...

"Sorry, princess. I was actually looking for you for some advice." You scowled at the nickname.

"Advice on what? Or who?" He smirked.

"Your best friend."

"Only if you get me to your best friend." You retorted.

"Why?" He questioned.

"Same as you. Soulmate search."

He nodded.

"Deal."
