Aww, that was wonderful. The charecterisations were right on the spot and what James saw as the Boggart was wonderfully ingenius, seriously. And how he reacted, and how *everyone else* reacted, and how Lily reacted...but I really loved how he reacted. Just like him. I think.
Still, just one, tiny complaint: the end. Perhaps the 'change your Boggart' thing I can work with [especially since she didn't kiss him on the *lips*, which makes it tons more realistic], but for something as good as this, a sentence like 'after all, there was nothing to fear except fear itself' just doesn't seem to...fit.
Constructive criticism, is all. I love it all, really. Seriously. Honestly. Except the end. =P
I'm going to read more of your stories now.
