From Green Teeth to Love

Obviously I own none of these characters. They all belong to J.K. Rowling. I own the plot... Hope you enjoy it!

"Augh! James Potter! What have you done to me?!" Lily Evans had just started to brush her teeth when she realized that they were bright green. Immediately upon seeing this, she knew just who the culprit was. Big headed, stuck up James Potter. He lived to bother her. Most of the time he did simple things like turn her food into little spiders, or charm one of her stuffed animals to try and hug her constantly. Things to embarrass her. But this making her teeth green, and changing her red hair to bright blue, was too much.

She ran down the girl's staircase, over to the big chair in front of the fireplace, and grabbed James' ear. (He happened to be sitting with his best friends Sirus, Remus and Peter.) Lily pulled James to his feet, and dragged him out of the common room to just outside the portrait hole.

When she glared at James, and he returned it with a questioning look, she got very mad.

"Why!?" She half screamed, half demanded. "Why do you do these things to me?"

James looked at her shocked. He had expected her to react, yes, but yell at him...never!

This was, after all, Lily Evans. Not Narcissa soon-to-be-Malfoy. He was at a loss for words.

"Well?" She demanded. "What's your excuse?"

James finally found his voice, and with all of his Gryffindor bravery, managed a sentence that would change his life forever.

"Because, Lily Evans, I love you."

Lily gaped at him. She had not expected him to answer her, let alone like that!

James spoke again. "Lily? Say something. Please?"

So she did. "Why?"

James was confused. "Why what?"

Lily didn't exactly know "why what?" So, she answered as best she could. "Why everything. Why do you play tricks on me? Why do you try so hard to make me angry?" She paused before continuing. "Why...why do you love me?"

James sighed, but was totally prepared to answer her.

"Because, you're Lily Evans. Smart, funny, talented, beautiful, girl-if-my- dreams Lily Evans. I may not have showed it very well, but, I've been in love with you for ages."

She was flabbergasted. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was scared. Scared of you not loving me back..."

"Oh James!" Lily pulled him into a tight hug. She then whispered in his ear, "James Potter, I love you. More than you could ever imagine."

James pulled out of the hug slightly, and looked her in the eye.

"Lily Evans, will you do me the honour of being my girlfriend?"

She smiled up at him.

"On one condition." She said.

"Anything." James replied.

"Mo more playing tricks on me."

"It's a deal."

And with that, James kissed her as though his life depended on it, letting all of his love for her be shown it just that one kiss.
