Harry Potter Headcannons!

Realisations

Lily Evans agreed to go on a date with Jame Potter on his 842nd time of asking.

It was the first time he had asked properly in her opinion. With none of his usual bravado or elaborate plans.

It wasn't at the end of the final game in the season or a feast but the first time anyone other than Sirius or Remus had ever pranked James successfully.

They had been almost friends for awhile and Lily had decided it was time to play a little prank of her own.

The prank involve a bear net, a zip wire and a plunge into the black lake. James followed his beautiful Lily-flower without question, never believing she would do anything as crafty as this.

It wasn't until he came up out of the water, coughing and spluttering, and saw Lily struggling to breathe through her tears of laughter that he realised how truly he loved the young woman on the shore.

And so he ran out of that lake, water flying from his jet black hair like a dog, glasses lost somewhere in the deep water, until he stood before the, slightly blurry, woman of his dreams.

The look on his face startled Lily, he seemed in awe of her. Staring so intently at her that she began to feel uncomfortable. However her eyes met with his strong gaze and she found she was unable to turn away. If anyone had looked at them in that moment they could of seen their love for each other blossom around them.

But they were alone, and when Lily crashed her lips onto James' it was like he was seeing for the very first time. The colours around him sharpened as he felt as tho he was floating, he was so consumed by her smell, the feel of her silky hair running through his fingers, just her that he didn't realise she had pulled away until he felt a gentle caress on his cheek. His eyes shot open as his question came tumbling out of his mouth, "out with me do you?"

The question made no sense to anyone but his world did and the answer was clear in those bright green eyes.
