fools ✼ jily one-shot

He knows.

He doesn't need to be told twice.

He knows he's a fool.

He knows that.

But, he didn't care.

She was worth it.

And he was a fool to love her.

But, how couldn't he?

From her beautiful auburn hair that seemed to glow, to her emerald green eyes that seemed to sparkle, to the way she saw the good in everyone, to her mind-blowing intelligence, how couldn't he fall for her?

Maybe his friends are right.

Maybe he has got it bad.

And maybe it's true that she doesn't give him the time of the day.

And maybe she does hate him.

But, Merlin knows he couldn't hate her back.

A girl like her only deserves to be loved.

He could never hate her.

Even when she calls him an arrogant toe-rag.

Even when she calls him a pig-headed jerk.

Even when she shoved him away when he asked her to go to Hogsmeade with him.

He could never hate her.

He couldn't help but love her instead.

So, yes.

He was a fool.

He was aware of that.

James Potter was most definitely aware that he was a fool for falling in love with a girl who would never love him back.
