When Lily realised she was falling for James Potter; and not as a friend. ----- ❝James's undying faith was something to die for, was what they were fighting for in the first place and it made Lily more than glad to know that it still remained; a blooming flower in a wilting garden.❞ ----- "How did you know what he was worried about?" she asked, the Daily Prophet's newspaper that morning on her mind. James shrugged lazily. "Caught him this afternoon in the Charms Corridor like this. He talked about it." She felt her lips say the words before she could filter them in her head; "You're amazing." His hazel eyes twinkled behind his glasses. "Careful, Evans, you might just be warming up to me." ---- This is a one shot prequel to my story Skyfall, tells Lily's point of view before Voldemort and dying, because we don't get to see her at all in Skyfall. Explains how James survived a Killing Curse -if you're smart and squint. Featuring Dark Lords and Death Eaters' wands producing ducks whenever they cast a spell thanks to the genius mind of one Sirius Black because it's 1a.m. and I saw the idea on Tumblr and couldn't let the opportunity slide, also I wholeheartedly believe it's canon. Sue me. This isn't edited, I literally wrote this in one day but I love it with all my heart. Word count: 10,000 words.
