James looked at Remus and sighed. He couldn't go on like this. It was obvious that he was in love with Lily, really. And it was also obvious that he didn't do anything because 'his furry little problem' and because, he, James was 'in love' with her. Which he was not. Not anymore. His heart belonged to somebody else entirely, Petunia Evans.

James had visited Lily last summer in a desperate attempt to make her love him or at least to make her like him;to try and be had convinced his parents to bring him there and to come pick him up few days later.

It hadn't gone too well. Lily had been mad at him and she had requested him to leave her house immediately, but her parents have been kind enough to let him stay over for few days, until his own parents came to take him back.

That was the day he had met Petunia, the girl who had taken his whole world and turned it upside down, changing everything around.

Both of had fallen for each other hard and very fast. James had never felt like that with Lily; he hadn't even been in love with her in the first place, he realiased. She had been a young school's boy imagination.

And just like that Lily had become his friend. Why? He was Petunia's boyfriend.

But she was the only one that knew that he and her sister were together. He hadn't told the other Marauders just yet. James had had a bet with them about his love for Lily. He had bet that one day she will be his girlfriend and that he will always love her, whereas they had said that would never happen.

Well, they had been right, but he hadn't told them. Yet. Though knowing what he did, he supposed he couldn't wait much longer.

Especially since he also knew that Lily shared the same feelings as Remus. They had gotten very close ever since they have been made prefects last year.

Back then he had been too blind to notice or to understand Sirius' hints on the matter, but he did now and he wished that those two would kiss already. He was tired off all the secret glances and all the sighing.

But James was pretty sure that him liking Lily was just an excuse for his friend. The werewolf part was more believed himself to be too dangerous for her and he was afraid that she wouldn't want anything to do with him if she find out that he was a werewolf. What Remus didn't know was that Lily already knew. She was smart, and when your partner misses his rounds every month on the full moon, claiming to be sick… it isn't hard to figure out what is going in if you try to find out in the first place.

He really needed to come with a plan to get this two together. And he had the perfect idea.

…

"And that's how your parents came to be together,"said James to six years old twins John and Daisy."I brought them together."he stated proudly.

"Hmm, I don't remember things happening this way, James."said an amused Lily.

James blushed.

"Say your story mum!" shouted the twins excited for another story.

Lily shared a smile with her husband.

"Well, it all started…"
