Okay to preface this I see them with like a Riley/Val Dynamic

Muggle AU but it's still Hogwarts? But Hogwarts is a high school? You know what- just don't think too hard abt it.
Its in the 70s (roughly)


"Mary shes so pretty, I want to talk to her so bad." Lily said looking over at Alice who was sitting with her friends not to far in the courtyard.
"Then talk to her."
"But don't forget she's a fifth year, and we're third years."

"Age doesn't matter when I want to be her friend." Lily said as she turned back to her friends before craning her neck backwards to look towards Alice again. 
Mary and Marlene exchanged a look before Marlene smirked.
"Ay, Fortescue!"
Lily turned beet red and turned her head away so fast her hair couldn't keep up.

"Yeah?" Alice replied turning her head slightly.
"Say something Lils" Mary whispered as she and Marlene held in laughter.
Alice turned away recognizing the game the girls were playing. As both girls friends laughed at them Lily made note to kill her friends and Alice made note to talk to the girl just to be nice.


One Year Later


"Hey Little Red"
"Hi Alice!"
"You trying out for Quidditch this year?"
"Oh GOD no, I'm gonna be a Mathlete though."
"Oh that's cute" Alice laughed, "You know if you ever DID want to play quidditch, I know the captain."
"We get it you're dating Frank." Lily said rolling her eyes
Alice's face screwed up, "DATING!?", she fake gagged,  "No. Way. Frank is my best friend, actually no he's my brother at that."
"Really? Everyone keeps telling me that you guys are dating."
"No, trust me, we are not dating."

"Okay, well I'm headed to the library if you want to come with?"
"Sure."

The two headed to the library and as they sat down Alice couldn't help herself from borderline staring at the redhead in front of her.

Wait, what? No. Shes fourteen, I'm sixteen, that's not okay. It's just a little sister feeling nothing serious, yeah lets leave it like that. That makes sense.


One Year Later


Lily woke up to a knocking sound on her door. Lily groggily stood up and unlocked the front door, grabbing the flowers off of the floor and placing them on the dorm living room table she glanced at the note, "To Lily Evans" Dorcas probably sent Marls some- wait what."

"Huh?"

Lily opened the letter attached to the flowers.

Dear Lily,
You don't know who sent you these or maybe you do because you're clever, it's one of the many reasons I love you, although you don't know that. I love you're smile and how it brightens up my day and any room you walk into. I love your hair and how pretty and silky smooth it is, especially when you tie it up in a bun and use a pencil to hold it up. I love your bubbly but nonsense attitude and I love the way that you are the only one who scares James and Sirius (and me if I'm honest). I love the ways that you are compassionate and I love how you are always there to listen and help anyone who needs it, even if what they need is the stone cold truth.

This is all just to say that I love you, Lily Evans, and we can't be together even if you love me back because I am too old for you right now. And I just wanted to get it off my chest even if you won't know who I am. I sincerely hope we find each other later in life.

With Love

Lily was in shock and had tears in her eyes, who could this be? She scanned through the letter again looking for clues to who it was, but she came up with nothing. She grabbed the flowers smelling them. It was a mix of Lilies and a flower that Lily recognized quickly, Pink climbing flowers otherwise know as...

Oh.

Alice Roses.

Lilies tears were let loose now, there was nothing she could do, the semester ended two weeks ago and Alice had already left. Lily had no way of knowing where she was, only knowing that she was somewhere in Britain. Lily potted the flowers in her room as the tears kept flowing. Alice admitted her love and now she'd never see her again.

She knew she probably wouldn't see Alice again when term ended but this was too much to bear. She could've at least told her how she felt and now she'd lost her last chance. The tears stained her face as she locked her room door. Her pillow was soaked as she laid back down, one thing repeating over and over in her head.

She'd lost her chance.


Six Years Later


Interning at a News Station was educating for sure but it was definitely tiring. But luckily the Station (for some reason) gave her a day off and she was taking advantage. As she walked to her favorite Coffee shop she basked in the lack of stress the day has brought. She walked in and walked up to the counter and placed her order. She turned around and walked in to a frame slightly taller than her but not by much. "Oh I'm...sorry....."

"Little Red...? Well I guess you're not so little now."





Howd i do?
