"I’ve known James longer than I haven’t. 13 years to be exact. The first time we met we were five and four, at a banquet my parents were hosting with family friends. I still remember the unruly little boy with a chipped tooth. We played house, kind of prophetic when I think about it."
"From age 5 to 11, James was just kind of there. It’s not that I hated him, simply that I was such a girl, and he was such a boy. We didn’t have much in common apart our parents being friends. He didn’t try too hard to be friends either. He once said I was quite cold back then, always scowling whenever he tried to play with me. I don’t remember scowling, I was just shy and he was the complete opposite."
"But later, we drew closer. Surprising, according to Marlene and Lily, considering how early teenage James was quite literally the worst version of him. He was shameless, loud, often more than not inconsiderate and oh so full of himself. But he was also always finding ways to be around me and talk my ears off. He never backed down, not even when told to leave me alone. At first, sure, it was impossibly annoying. But I guess his efforts to befriend me turned out to be slightly endearing to me. Endearing enough to let him make me wear his Gryffindor scarf to quidditch games I couldn’t care about."
"Then, one summer, James changed. He came back a few more inches taller than me, a deeper voice and broader shoulder. But he was also calmer than before, less boastful, kinder. It gave me a shock, like being struck by lightning. That’s probably when things actually started changing between us."
"Before, I used to daydream about my future wedding, imagining a faceless groom who would be perfect in every way possible. Now, all I see is James, with his stupid crooked glasses and dumb smirk, waiting at the altar. Annoying, loud, prideful, James. Brave, honest, kind-hearted James. My James."
