Invisible Magic

Okay - I'm not the best writer but I would like to write. Thank you for taking the time to look at my story!

In the end it didn't matter. She could tell herself that she didn't love him one thousand times but in her heart it would never be true. She could tell him one million times and he'd never believe her. 

That was the thing about James Potter, on the outside it didn't look like he felt anything when Lily rejected him time after time, he just shrugged it off but inside he died. You might be wondering why he persevered, he persevered because he loved her and all that kept him going was the hope that one day she would love him back.

1968 - First Year 

Lily 

As Professor McGonagall explained to the Evans family about the wizarding world she knew that Lily was different. Lily had done magic before without knowing its true meaning, it was rare that muggle borns did accidental magic before they came to Howarts.

"That explains EVERYTHING, the 'accidents' at school and in London that time when I could see the pub and you couldn't - that must've been the leaky cauldron! Mum, you've got to let me go to Hogwarts. Please, you'll see me in the summer holidays..." Lily laughed as her face lit up with joy.

She didn't have any trouble believing the news, which was also rare in muggle borns. McGonagall sometimes had to perform many spells before they would believe her.

"We'll think about it, but seeing as Lily has been struggling to choose a school, this one may be the perfect one for her. You'll recieve our reply within the week." Mrs Evans told the Professor as they said their goodbyes.

It was in fact later that very night that the letter confirming that Lily would be attending Hogwarts was sent after Mr Evans returned home and saw the look of delight on his daughters face. He couldn't let her be unhappy.

1968 - First Year 

James 

"Mum! It came! My Hogwarts letter!" James cried in delight as he carried the post into the kitchen.

"That's great honey." Mrs. Potter smiled as she looked at her only son.

"Hey, kid. I always knew you weren't a squib." Mr Potter joked as he flicked through the rest of the post.

James wasn't bothered about the education part of Hogwarts, he would finally get a chance to make friends, living in the country meant he'd never really interacted with other wizards and witches.  He was a lot of trouble at home so his parents kept him occupied with Quidditch, another thing he couldn't wait for at Hogwarts - he was determined to get on the Quidditch team.

"You might even find yourself a girlfriend, kid." Mr Potter told him.

"It's not funny. I will get a girlfriend and I'll ask her to marry me, she'll say yes and we'll have six children." James told his parents, who both smiled and shook their heads.

"Who'd want to marry you?"  Mr Potter laughed as James jumped of his seat and chased Mr Potter into the garden for a game of Quidditch.
