Lily was sitting at breakfast in the Great Hall groggily eating her pancakes. She was daydreaming about a certain messy black haired boy that happened to be Head along with her. He had matured greatly over the summer and had showed her throughout the year. It was now November and they had become great friends. She was lost in thought when someone cleared their throat. She looked up to see her friend and brother in everything but blood sitting across from her. "Hey Remus" she smiled.
"Hey Lily" he smiled back "how are you this morning?"
"I'm all right" she shrugged. He loaded some sausages onto his plate and they ate in silence for a little bit.
"I know who you like Lily" he said putting his fork down and smiling deviously at her. She tried to arrange her face to look puzzled but he just laughed. She didn't want him to know because James was good friends with Remus.
"I don't know what you're talking about" she said sticking her nose in the air.
"Alright if you say so Ms. I-always-stare-at-James-Potter-and-blush-uncontrollably-when-he's-around. Don't think that all of us are as oblivious as James and Sirius" he said with a penetrating look.
"I don't like him" she said quickly. She mentally cursed herself because she knew that would prove his point and sure enough Remus just smiled.
"Who don't you like?" a teasing male voice came from behind her and she froze. Behind her she knew was Sirius Black and where he was she knew that James was there as well.
"Remus here was just being facetious" she glared at Remus who merely smiled.
"Actually I was saying that she liked a messy black haired boy but she was just denying it" Remus said. James face fell considerably not knowing that he was the one Remus was talking about.
"Oh..." was all James said as he took a seat next to Lily. She stared at him for a while not understanding why he was acting like that.
"I don't like him Remus" she said turning to glare at him.
"If you don't like him why do you always blush when you talk to him? Why do you smile at all his jokes even the ones that aren't the least bit funny and are just plain stupid? Why are you always excited for patrol and why do you always make extra time for Head meetings? Answer me Lily. Why is it that you smile at him like he's the most amazing thing in the world if you don't like him? Why is it that you got detention because you attack some Slytherins who were saying rude things about him if you don't like him? Why do you purposely get help from him in Transfiguration even though you don't need help? Why do you always talk everyone's ears off about him and how amazing he is if you don't like him? And why are you blushing a deep crimson right now if you don't like him?" Remus asked her. She sat there and stared at him.
"Woah! Wait just one moment!" Sirius cried "This is rich! This is really rich! You...hahahaha you fell in love with HIM! Oh this is great! You fell in love with the person you said you would never date because he was the biggest toerag in the world" he smiled maniacally and then said "It's about damn time you started to like Prongs. We've only been waiting years for you to fall for him. It's quite annoying to listening to him babble about you and how amazing you are all the time." Lily looked at James who was staring at her realization dawning on his face. She was shaking.
"I...I..." her breathing was heavy and suddenly he was smiling at her.
"I always knew you'd say yes in the end" he said before leaning in and kissing her.
