A/N: This is a oneshot of conversations that Lily and James and the rest of the gang have had through the years. (It was my writer's block project during 10 Things I Hate About James Potter.) All of the conversations are lines taken from movies and T.V. shows.
I had to adjust some of them to make them canon or HP like. In the longer conversations I bolded the lines that are from the movie, and the normal text in those paragraphs are phrases I made up to go with the lines.
(Background info: Anna and Megan are Lily's friends.)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Harry Potter, we all know who does. I do not own any lines taken from any of these movies either. The organization of this story and the idea however, are completely my own.
Enjoy!

James: Lily, I'm not usually like this, I'm sorry.
Lily: Oh yes you are.
James: I could be fun, if you want. I could be pensive, uh... smart, superstitious, brave? And I, uh, I can be light on my feet. I could be whatever you want. You just tell me what you want, and I'm gonna be that for you.
Lily: …You're dumb.
James: I could be that. Come on, one date, what's it gonna hurt?
Lily: Mmm, I don't think so.

James sits down next to Lily and looks at her earnestly.
James: What do you think of me? And be honest. Tell me what you think when you hear the name, James Potter.
Lily: I think you should just admit that you're a really a big softy, that your whole macho and cynical persona is just an act so that you can seem cavalier and mysterious and sexy…
James: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What was the last one?
Lily: What?
James: Did you say 'sexy'?
Lily: What?
James: You think I'm sexy?
Lily: No!
James: It's okay if you do.
Lily: I don't! I think you think you're sexy.

Lily is partnered with James one day in Defense Against the Dark Arts while they are learning about Legilimency and Occlumency…

James: Lily, I have come to the conclusion that no matter what you say, you are incandescently and irrevocably in love with me. You're just too apprehensive to show it.

James: Don't you feel something between us, Lily?
Lily: You know, I honestly wish there was something between us.

Beginning of 7th year:
After they are shown their Head's dormitory…James: Look I think we got off on the wrong foot.
Lily: Well I think we did too. But I appreciate your apology.
James: Apology? Who said anything about an apology? I was just saying that—
Lily: Please don't talk anymore; it's only going to upset me.
James: Fine, I'll be quiet if you be quiet.
Lily: Alright, I'll be quiet.
James: Fine.
Lily: Fine.
James: Fine.
Lily: Fine…So you think you're gonna miss it?
James: Miss what? Your talking?
Lily: (Annoyed) No! Staying in the Gryffindor tower.

Lily fell asleep on the couch and James woke her up so she wouldn't be late for class…Lily: (Flings her arm out and hits him in the face.) Oh, sorry! I thought you were someone else…(seeing it's James she says flatly,) oh it's you. Well that's okay then.
James: (Wincing and holding his face,) I think you broke my nose!
Lily: Men are such babies.
-Anastasia

James: We have an unusual relationship here, Lily. You obviously want me dead.

Lily went to James to thank him for helping her with her homework and James starts asking Lily about her boyfriend…
James: Do you love him?
Lily: Pardon me?
James: Do you love him?
Lily: Well, you're being very rude. You shouldn't be asking me this.
James: Well, it's a simple question. Do you love the guy or not?
Lily: This is not a suitable conversation.
James: Why can't you just answer the question?
Lily: This is absurd. You are rude and uncouth, and presumptuous, and I am leaving now.
(She starts shaking James's hand.)
Lily: James—Potter, it's been a pleasure. I've sought you out to thank you, and now I have thanked you.
James: And even insulted me.
Lily: Well, you deserved it.
James: Right.
Lily: Right.
James: (Lily is still shaking his hand) I thought you were leaving.
Lily: (Turns to leave) I am. You are so annoying.
James: Ha, ha.
Lily: (Turns back to James) Wait, I don't have to leave, this is my part of the dormitory. You leave.
James: Oh ho, ho, well, well, well! Now who's being rude?
-Titanic
-x-x-x-
James and Lily have started being more civil to each other:
James: I want to do something for her…but what?
Remus: Well, there's the usual things: flowers…chocolates…promises you don't intend to keep…
-Beauty and the Beast

Lily is walking out of the dormitory to go to breakfast when James comes up and stops her. He starts walking around her in a circle…
Lily: Wha -? Hey! Why are you circling me? What were you, a vulture in another life?
-Anastasia
Later:
James: I bought you a dress.
Lily: You bought me a…tent. (She starts examining it.)
James: What are you looking for?
Lily: Quidditch World Cup fans. I think they're still in here…
-Anastasia
-x-x-x-
James: Lily, (sigh) this is the last time I'm going to ask you out, and if you don't want to go on a date with me I'll completely understand and leave you alone for the rest of your life. I realize now that I've been very rude and conceited in the past when I asked you out and I apologize.
Lily:(Looks taken aback.) Why the change of mind?
James: It was more a change of heart.
Lily smiled and stepped closer to James.
Lily: I'd love to go with you on a date.
James: Really?
Lily: Really.
