Seven different times James told Lily he loved her. I pretty much stole Lily's response from Star Wars... but so what? I love Star Wars, and I love Lily and James. Enjoy!

"I don't think this is such a good idea, James. Do you remember what happened when you dipped her hair in ink the other day? I don't think she's pleased with you."
"Oh, Remus! She's probably forgotten all about that by now! I'm sure she feels the same way about me!"
Somehow Remus Lupin didn't think his mate was in possession of his sanity anymore.

"Oy! Evans!"
Groaning and mustering up her most polite smile, Lily Evans turned around to face the bane of her existence. As he made his way up to her, Severus attempted to pull her in the opposite direction.
"Come on, Lily. Let's just walk away from that slime. We have more important things to do."
"Sev, can't I at least try for some peace with my housemates? I know he's a scoundrel, but it's worth a shot, right?"
"Can I help you, Potter?"
Seeing her forced smile as something completely different and disregarding the crowd that had gathered, James screwed up his courage, planted his feet firmly, and blurted out "I LOVE YOU!"
Holding Severus back from the kill, Lily flared her nostrils in agitation.
"You love me?"
"Yes."
"You... love me."
"That's what I said, right?"
"So dipping my hair in ink the other day was a sign of affection?"
James sensed this wasn't going to go as planned. "Well I can explain that..."
Taking a step closer, Lily continued. "And the day before that when you threw mashed potatoes at my face... that was really you saying that you'd go to the end of the world for me?"
"I meant to hit Sirius that time."
"He was right next to you! I was at least halfway down the table from you, Potter!"
Since Lily was currently pursuing him in a very non-loving manner, James thought it wise to back up a few paces.
"James Potter! I never knew you were this immature, this obtuse! I mean, we've known each other for all of three days and you pull a stunt like this?!? I'm sure I just can't wait for the next six years! Go stick your head in a hole or something and LEAVE ME ALONE!"
With that, Lily stalked off, tugging Severus Snape behind her.
James remained stationary for quite some time. In fact, if he didn't blink every now and then, Remus and Sirius would have been worried for his life.
After thinking it over quite a bit, James deducted that "She wants me."
I already have a few more done... but I wanted to see what you thought first. It's going to have seven chapters total!
