Ah, tu verras, tu verras

Tout recommencera, tu verras, tu verras

L'amour c'est fait pour ça, tu verras, tu verras

Je ferai plus le con, j'apprendrai ma leçon

Sur le bout de tes doigts, tu verras, tu verras

Tu l'auras, ta maison avec des tuiles bleues

Des croisées d'hortensias, des palmiers plein les cieux

Des hivers crépitants, près du chat angora

Et je m'endormirai, tu verras, tu verras

Le devoir accompli, couché tout contre toi

Avec dans mes greniers, mes caves et mes toits

Tous les rêves du monde

-Claude Nougaro "Tu Verras"

She'll see.

He had been teetering on the edge for quite some time now, but that last refusal had pushed him off the cliff. He could not take it anymore. Everywhere he went all he could hear was the echoing the words that she had screamed at him. "You think you're funny. But you're just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter. I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid." There was only one thing that he could do to break free. It was something that he had been contemplating for quite some time, but he could no longer avoid it. James knew that it was the only way that he could ever make Lily his.

He had to change.

He had to mature. He had to tone done on the pranks that he pulled. He would have to pay more attention in class. And, most of all, he would have to lay off taunting Snape every time he had the chance.

It wasn't going to be easy and it would take a pretty damn long time but, in the end, he knew it would be worth it. All James ever wanted was to be whatever Lily Evans needed, dreamed about. He wanted to make her the happiest girl in the world. He wanted to spoil her just like she deserved. James just wanted, no, needed to be with her, forever.

And, yes, there was always the chance that it might not work -that all of his hard work on molding himself into the man that Lily wanted would go to waste. Maybe it didn't matter what he did, maybe Lily just couldn't stand the mere thought of him, changed or not. Truthfully, he wasn't absolutely sure if it was going to work but he knew it was worth the try. He would do anything for that redhead and this would be the first step in the process to prove that to her.

She'll see.

For those of you who want to know what the lyrics above say but don't know French:

You'll see, you'll see
Everything will start again, you'll see, you'll see
Love is made for it, you'll see, you'll see
I won't be a jerk anymore, I'll learn my lesson
I'll have it at the tip of your fingers, you'll see, you'll see
You will have your house with the blue tile,
The cross hydrangeas and palms open skies
Crackling winters next to the Angora cat
And I'll fall asleep, you'll see, you'll see
The duty done, lying close against you
With in my attic, my basement and my roof
All the dreams of the world

Thanks Tat1312 for the translation!

This was just a random thing that I came up with. I guess I was a little bit overdue on a new James/Lily fic...

Thanks mew for betaing!
