This is brilliant! The story is adorable and so funny!!! I laughed a lot in many parts. My favorite parts were:

""Yeah, yeah, in a minute." Potter shifts restlessly on the bench across from her. "Listen. I've been thinking lately-"

"Well. Something new and different for you."

Potter pulls a face. "Yeah, thanks. I'll try not to make a habit of it. But anyway, now that you've rightly binned Cockpot Crebbins-""

James was just hilarious in the beginning of the chapter.

""Potter. You don't even like me," she says slowly. "And I don’t like you! What in the world would possess you to think that this was even a remotely rational idea?"

"I like you plenty!" Potter claims, affronted."

- "I like you plenty"... What a why to get a girl... Too funny!!! Obviously he does makes a foul out of himself in the end. I was actually a bit embarrassed for him and his behavior... He tried to be cute and all, but in the end his ego wouldn't allow it. 15-year-old James is a bit of an ass, but he's definitely funny and still kind of adorable!!!

In the second encouters things were less funny and way more adorable. I loved how James let Lily cry in peace. And I loved his interaction with Rosmerta.

In the end, you made me laugh out loud yet again:

"Lily shrugs. "I'm a firm believer in cosmic balance. It'll even itself out eventually. New mates or something of the sort."

Potter perks up instantly. "I'm a brilliant mate!""

Just Fantastic!!! Now, let's move on to the second part (I'm anxious to read!!!)
