Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

"Potter is such a jerk!" Lily exclaimed, slamming the door to the seventh year girls dorm behind her.

"What did he do this time?" Mary asked, rolling her eyes. She was laying on her bed reading The Evening Prophet.

"He asked me out in front of the whole school, again!" Lily exclaimed, "Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is?"

"Actually, I think it's kind of sweet," Mary admitted.

Lily turned to glare at her, "What?"

"It is!" Mary instituted, "James really loves you Lily, and you might not realize it, but you love him."

"No! I don't! It's the exact opposite!" Lily shouted.

"Then prove it!" Mary demanded, standing up.

"How?" Lily asked, placing a hand on her hip.

"Write a list of 101 things you hate about James Potter, and if you can't do that than you have to snog him in the middle of lunch tomorrow," Mary smirked.

"Fine, and when I win," Lily said, putting emphasis on when, "You have to go on a date with Peter Pettigrew."

"What? No!" Mary exclaimed.

Lily glared at her.

"Oh, fine, it's not like I'm going to lose anyways," Mary said.

Lily walked over to her trunk and pulled out a piece of parchment, a quill, and ink. She labeled the top: 101 Reasons I Hate James Potter, and began writing.

Lily wrote 101 on the parchment, before the quill fell out of her hand and onto the floor. Her head fell to the side against her pillow.

Mary looked over at the sound of the quill hitting the floor and chuckled.

The following morning, Lily was sitting at breakfast and pulled out her quill and the list she was writing the night before. She stared at the last one for a minute before writing "I love him," just as James Potter walked by. He peered over her shoulder and read the last line.

"Who do you love, Lily?" he asked, snatching the parchment from the table.

"Give that back!" Lily demanded, but James was already reading it. She watched his face as the smirk on his face grew wider and wider. When he was finished, he sat the paper down, and leaned down to kiss Lily. Everyone around them started wolf whistling, but Lily and James didn't notice. After a minute, James pulled away, leaving Lily breathless.

"Let me tell you a secret," James whispered.

"Yes?" Lily replied.

"I love you, too," he smiled.

AN: Thanks for reading!
