Chapter 1

Lasting Sweethearts

"Catch me if you can!" Five year old Lily Evans yelled cheerfully whilst running as fast as she can not wanting to get tagged.

"Don't worry I will!" Five year old James Potter said catching up to Lily fast.

Lily shrieked and ran faster. James ran faster too and started to close around her.

"Gotcha Lia!" James said happily tackling her around the waist. Landing both of them on the floor laughing.

"No fair Jamie you can run faster." Lily pouted while lying on the floor next to James.

"Yes it is, I beat you fair and square." James said laying on his side facing Lily.

"Fine." Lily said pouting in a mad happy way.

James just grinned.

Lily Evans has short wavy red hair and bright green eyes. While James Potter has messy jet black hair that just can't be tamed and beautiful hazel eyes. Both have known eachother since they were born. James being born only 5 hours before Lily. Both born on April 17. Both been inseperable since. They did everything together.

"James! Lily! Lunch is ready!" Mrs. Potter shouted across the backyard.

"Ok!" They both yelled.

"Again?" James suggested.

"Fine. Winner gets to eat losers dessert." Lily said happily.

"Lets go." James said smirking.

Mrs. Potter just shook her head while smiling.

They both raced and it ended up being a tie.

"I won." Lily insisted.

"No I did." James inquired.

"I did."

"I did."

"No I did."

"No no, I did."

"No I did."

"You two will keep at this forever won't you?" Mrs. Potter asked amused.

"Yes." They bothed replied cheerfully.

"I won." Lily repeated.

"No I did." James still insisted.

"I did."

"I did."

"Ok ok, it was a tie." Mrs. Potter insisted trying to settle the never ending 'I did' fiasco. "Lets just have you both split the dessert.

"Alright." Lily said in defeat sticking her tongue out at James.

"Fine." James said smiling at Lily.

"Can Lia sleeping over mom?" James said in a pouting way.

"We have to ask Lily's mom first." Mrs. Potter said cutting the chocolate cake.

"Already taken care of Mrs. P." Lily said happily eating her piece of cake.

Mrs. Potter looked at Lily in a confused way.

"I asked this morning." Lily said.

"So can she mom?" James said beggingly.

"Yes she can, she is always welcome." Mrs. Potter said warmly.

"Cool." James said happily.

James and Lily both finished their dessert and headed up the big marble staircase leading to James' play room.

"I always loved your house." Lily said as they climbed the last steps of the staircase. "Its so big and full of lots of cool rooms."

"I like it too." James said cheerfully.

They entered James' play room which was humongous. It was filled with all kinds of board games, video games, computer games, arcade games as well as lots of comfy places to sit.

James went over to a big cushy couch. "Pop a squat Lia." James said

"Will do." Lily said sitting down next to James.

"So, what are we going to do today?" Lily said laying her head on James shoulder.

"Not sure." James replied laying his head on her. "Tag again." he suggested smirking.

Lily turned grinning. "I think we had a lot of tag for one day."

"Yeah your right." James said while thinking. "Lets see...hmmm...how about.."

"Pranks." they said at the same time.

"Perfect." Lily said getting up.

James and Lily both went James' room.

"Prank stuff ready?" James asked.

"Check." Lily said saluting.

"Cool, lets go." James said while they both went onto the balcony.

"One, two, and...three." James counted. Both he and Lily dropped eggs on the house guard which they had perfect aim. The guard did a duck and cover as if there was an ambush.

Lily and James were laughing.

"A job well done!" James said self satisfied.

"Cool, now lets out to the playground in the backyard." Lily suggested.

"Alrighty." James replied.

They both headed outside towards the swings. Lily got onto a swing while James went behind to push her. After a few silent moments of swinging James broke the silence.

"Hey Lia?"

"Yes." Lily answered.

"I was just thinking." James said.

"About?" Lily said as she stopped swinging and faced James.

"Stuff." James said.

"Stuff? What kind of stuff?" Lily said confused.

"Us stuff." James said quietly.

"What about us stuff." Lily said really confused.

"What will happen to us in the future?" James asked.

"Well, I know you will always be my best best best bestest friend." Lily said happily.

"I mean is, what I mean is that when we are teenagers. What will happen to us?" James asked looking Lily directly.

"I don't know. But we can make what ever happens, anything we want to happen." Lily said smiling. "Teenagers or not, you will always be my Jamie, my best friend in the whole world."

"Just best friend?" James asked shyly.

Lily was stunned slightly. "Do you mean something more?"

"Yes, maybe. I'm not really sure." James asked awkwardly.

Lily looked at James smiling warmly. She stood up and gave James a quick peck on the lips. "I like you too Jamie." Lily said happily and strode off towards the fort.

James stood their awkwardly for a few seconds, smiled and followed Lily to the fort.

After dinner, Mrs. Potter arranged Lily's usual room across from James' room, when she slept over. Not that she ever slept in it. Usually James and her would just sneak into eachothers rooms and fall asleep anywhere.

Lily and James headed straight upstairs to get ready for bed.

"I'm tired." Lily said while yawning.

"Mee too." James said entering his room. "G'night Lia." James said smiling.

"G'night Jamie." Lily replied warmly.

Both were ready and tucked into bed. But weren't asleep. Both thinking about the days events and the future.

James was lying on his four poster bed thinking. He decided to get up and visit Lily to see if she was really sleeping.

Of course it was the same for Lily, she was lying on her bed thinking. She heard her door open slightly then close. James suddenly appeared at her bedside.

"Hey Lia." James whispered. "Couldn't sleep either?"

"Yeah." Lily said sighing.

"Want to go to the play room?" James suggested quietly.

"Sure." Lily said happily. She got out of bed and they both headed down the hall towards the play room. They entered the room and immediately went to the big cushy couch and sat on it.

"I think i'll just sleep here. Its more comfortable, as in the area." Lily said as she laid her head on the arm of the couch.

"Yeah. my room just not comfortable." James said. "Here, get up."

"Huh?" Lily said sleepily. Lily got up reluctantly and James sat at the end of the couch. He patted a seat next to him. Lily sat down.

James took a thin pillow and laid it over his lap. "You can lay your head on my lap so its more comfortable." James suggested.

"But won't you be uncomfortable?" Lily asked.

"Its alright, this couch is pretty comfy." James said truthfully and indeed it was a comfy couch.

Lily laid her head down on James lap face up. "G'night Jamie." Lily yawned.

"G'night Lia." James said smiling and giving her a kiss on the forhead. "Good night."

They then fell asleep instantly.
