Don't be afraid

Disclaimer: Course I don't own Harry Potter or Star Wars; otherwise I should be in front of Daniel Radcliffe or Hayden Christensen just looking at them un-able to speak.

Lilly and James were tied at tree, one opposite the other one. They had been so stupid! Getting so near to the Forbidden Forest with everything that was happening! And, of course, Voldemort had captured them.

"Are you afraid?" James whispered.

Lilly smiled at him, her expression one of genuine calm. "I'm not afraid to die," she replied, her voice thick and soft. "I've been dying a little bit each day since we came back in seventh year,"

"What are you talking about?"

Then she said it, and it was real and genuine and warm. "I love you"

"You love me?" he asked, overwhelmed. "You love me! I thought you thought I was an arrogant bullying toerag!" But her words had brought a wash of contentment over him.

"I think our lives are gonna be destroyed anyway," Lilly answered. "My love for you is a puzzle; James, for which I have no answers. I can't control it-and now I don't care. I truly, deeply love you and before we dye I wanted you to know."

Lilly leaned againt ger rope and craned her head forward, and James did likewise, the two coming close enough for their lips to meet in a soft and gentle kiss, one that lingered and deepened, one that said everything they both realised they should have spoken to each other before. One that, to them, mocked all their false heroics in denying the feelings they'd had for each other for so long.

CRACK!

Dumbledore, Remus, Sirius, Emma and Padmè, (Lilly's friends), had appeared.

The newly-formed couple knew this wasn't the end of them: this was the beginning

I had to repost this story,because of my grammar! I'm sorry, but I'half English and half italian, I live in italy and I haven't got any grammar check on my computer!

I know you write Lily and Lilly, but I accidentally wrote it wrong for my penname and I decided to stick up wit the wrong version of Lily, I'm sory!

For Lady Taliesin: I think that the spelling mistakes should be OK now, thanks fro tellling me! About that "My love for you is a puzzle; James, for which I have no answers." I just copyed that from the book, so I imagine that should be OK too.

For Iluvmyharrypotter: I luv star wars even more than I love Harry Potter! I've seen episode III I thought it was the best movie of the past couple of years, the only movie better than ROTS is AOTC...
