"Hey, Alice?"

"Yeah?"

"D'you think James likes me?"

"Well, yeah. He's always staring at you."

"What about you, Mary?"

"I agree with Alice."

"Em?"

"What?"

"You know James Potter, right?"

"Who doesn't?"

"Well, do you know if he likes me?"

"Hm, I think so. I've heard him talk about you before."

"What did he say?"

"Why the twenty questions?"

"Remus?"

"Yeah, Lily?"

"Do you think James likes me?"

"Why?"

"Just curious."

"Well, I'm pretty sure he does. He talks about you a lot."

"He does?"

"Sirius! Hey Sirius!"

"What?"

"Can I talk to you alone for a moment?"

"Um, Jessica? Can I talk to Lily alone for a moment? Okay, thanks."

"Sirius."

"Yeah?"

"Does James like me?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I dunno. Just kinda curious, you know."

"Kinda curious, huh?"

"Wipe that smirk off your face and answer my question, Black."

"Not with that kind of attitude, I won't."

"Fine. Please?"

"Ok, to answer your question, yes, he does like you."

"Really? Or are you just joking?"

"I swear on my life that he does. Why don't you go ask him yourself?"

"Fine. I will."

"James?"

"Yeah Lily?"

"I don't really know how to say this, but do you like me?"

"Huh?"

"I don't want to repeat the question."

"No, I heard you, I was just surprised by it."

"Just answer the question."

"Okay, fine. I do like you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"See, the thing is..."

"You like me too?"

"Yeah."

"Are you kidding?"

"No."

"You swear?"

"I swear."

"Wicked."
