You watched from a distance like you always used to do to James. Under the light of the Enchantments class, his glasses gave him a sophisticated and intellectual look, those inert pupils in Lily twinkling charmingly with an amber glow. He had smooth, straight cheekbones that sculpted a very masculine and young face, and the adam’s apple was perfectly defined in a smooth manly neck.

His eyes soon strayed far enough to catch you staring at him in infraganti . You briefly raised the pen to your chin and pretended to be looking at the ceiling as you thought of an answer for the exercise. You were so bad at pretending that you couldn't stop thinking about how stupid you looked. Within seconds, a piece of paper flew through the air and landed on you table.

"You like what you see?" You knew the handwriting and you could almost hear her voice asking that question. Even without looking up, you knew it was now James Potter looking at you.

But you didn't want to get your hopes up by paying attention to that, since James only had eyes for Lily and his heart would never be yours.
