"And where do you come from, Lily Evans?"
"Cokeworth, in the midlands. You?"
"Godric's Hollow". (a/n JK Rowling never specified where James grew up so I decided Godric's Hollow seemed legit enough)
"That's a wizarding village, right?"
"Yup. Gets a little boring at times though, with everyone knowing each other and all that. And both Sirius and Moony - Remus, I mean - live far away. And before you ask, I have no siblings. So life gets a little boring at times."
"Laura's from Godric's Hollow."
"I know. Our parents are friends. She's nice enough. Acts a little tough at times."
"Not when you really get to know her."
"I can imagine. It's just that I get the feeling that she avoids boys at all costs."
"I know, but it's just because she's scared. She needs to fall in love or something and then it all will be solved."
"I guess so."
"How about Remus? He ditched Daisy, so..."
"Remus ditched Daisy?" James looks genuinely surprised with the news. "Is that why he's been moping so much lately?"
"Oh my god, James, what kind of a friend are you?" I exclaim playfully, poking him in the side. He twitches slightly at my touch.
"But he liked her so much! It's not Remus at all to ditch girls like that."
"You mean he's had girlfriends before?"
"No, no! I suppose he's just..."
"Scared." We both finish at the same time. James stares at me so intently that I don't really know what to do. He comes closer and closer - I am like paralyzed, what can I do? - but then he sees my bottom lip tremble and pulls back.
"Are you scared, Lily?" he asks ever so softly.
"I... I don't know."
"That's okay. I can wait."
"I don't want to keep you unhappy."
"But I'm not unhappy."
"Yes you are. You want to be with me but I keep rejecting you."
"I told you, Evans. I have all the time in the world." his smile is so confident that I can't help but smile back. When did he turn so caring all of a sudden?
"Thank you," I say, softly. James just shrugs the moment away and changes the subject.
"Have you had one of those muffins yet? Have a bite, they're delicious!"
"How do I know they're not poisoned?" I blurt out before I can help myself. James makes me say such stupid things - and it's not even his fault.
"Oh yes, definitely. No, silly, what were you thinking?"

FanfictionTheir story may not have been ideal - it was perhaps a tad bit too complicated to call it that. Yet James Potter and Lily Evans are so thankful for the life they had together. From the Hogwarts corridors to the world of the non-living, James and Lil...
