Set directly after Voldemort attacks the Potters, Lily sees the damage done to her house and family. What thoughts ran through a young mother's mind as she's presented with the choice to stay with Harry as a ghost or go to the afterlife. My take on how deceased witches and wizards decide to be ghosts or "go on". Hope I get better at summaries... :D

"Maybe it's because gold will always be attracted to red." James Potter decides to ponder on the very important thought of why Godric Gryffindor chose Red and Gold as his house colors. Find out how James uses the question to see his friends' true, er, colors...and how did the Giant Squid get in that convo! Marauders and tiny, tiny JiLy. (I think) haha.

"I'll change so when the time comes for me to meet him; he won't forget me. He'll see me standing in his way, straight-backed and proud." James Potter decides that it was time to tell his parents one of the biggest decisions in his life.

"I love James Potter. I finally realized that I love him the moment I realized what a big jerk I was to him." Lily Evans finally realizes that she loves James, but when her past actions towards him comes back to her, could she still find the courage to tell him?

"And that's why I still love you Lily. I said I would never give up. I would endure everything; every insult, every rejection, even every hex because I love you." James finds Lily in the Astronomy Tower and finally decides to hear what she has to say about his feelings for her. *Sequel (?) to 'And Then I Told Her I Love Her.'

"I messed it up guys. I messed it up even when I wasn't trying to do anything but be her friend; I messed up my chances with her. Again." James Potter hasn't asked out Lily Evans for two years and they're friends and co-heads now. What happens when an encounter with Snape makes him accidentally tell her that she still loves her? *It's James recounting the story to the Marauders.
