"Go on, Evans, just say the words and I'll leave you alone. Just say you hate me. Just say you don't care about me," he said with a smirk, knowing I wouldn't.
"Just…Leave me be, Potter," I replied, "I'm trying to study for my Charms exam."
"Ha!" he exclaimed wildly, pumping his fist into the air, "I knew you wouldn't say it, Evans! I'm just too awesome." I rolled my eyes.
"Yes, Potter, that's it. Now leave me be, already." I waved my hand toward him. "Shoo."
He laughed and strolled away toward the pavilion.
James Potter, I thought to myself, what a pig. He's always trying to flirt with me, trying to get me to say that I like him as well. I honestly don't understand his logic. He very well knows I'm in love with Severus, and he can't accept it. I sighed. He's probably just jealous. Jealous that no one loves him the way I love Severus. But I can't help but think that maybe…
"Lily?" I was pulled out of my inner thoughts by the sound of my name. I looked up to see Severus standing over me. "Are you all right? I saw you and thought maybe that Potter imbecile put a hex on you…"
I laughed softly. "No, Severus, he didn't. I'm fine. Just thinking…"
"About what?" He eyed me quizzically.
"Oh, just…my exam. I was trying to memorize a spell." As soon as that was out of my mouth, I knew he could tell it was a lie. A poorly thought out one, at that.
He sighed and sat next to me. "Lily, you know I don't like it when you lie to me." I told him I knew that. "And you know how I feel about you talking to Potter." I did. "And you haven't even told me you love me today." My reply was that I hadn't seen him all day. He looked at me funny, not expecting that to be my answer.
"Oh…right, I'm sorry…" I uttered those three simple words, "I love you." He smiled.
"I love you too, Lily."
