Author's Notes: This idea just popped into my head, and I felt like I just had to write it. This is the first fan fiction I've published, and I realize it's not great; I didn't bother so much with editing this one. Hopefully at least one person will like it.

Disclaimer: Last time I checked, I wasn't J.K. Rowling.

What If I Told You I Loved You?

Lily?

What is it, James?

You might want to sit down.

And what have I been doing for the past two hours, the tap-dance?

Very funny, Miss Sarcasm.

Wasn't it, though?

Enough with the sarcasm now, Lily, I need to tell you something – wow, that felt weird to say.

Why?

Because I'm usually the sarcastic one and you're usually serious.

We're a regular pair of flip-flops, aren't we?

What?

Never mind. What was it you wanted to tell me, James?

Well, this year has been great, don't get me wrong, but something has been missing.

Oh? And what would that be?

The girl I love doesn't know how I feel.

Oh?

We've been friends for a while now, you see, ever since she decided I was out of my toe-rag stage. But… school is ending soon, and she'll be leaving – we both will be, I should say – and… I'm afraid we'll never see each other again if I don't tell her how I feel.

Right.

So what do you suggest I do?

Tell me.

What?

I said, tell –

I know, I know. But why did you say 'me'?

Shouldn't I? I'm not daft, you know, James.

I wasn't talking about you, though.

… Oh.

Only joking! Of course I'm talking about you. I just wanted to see how you'd react if you thought I loved another girl.

Some joke…

I'm sorry, Lily.

Well, what are you waiting for?

What?

Are you going to tell me or not?

But I don't need to tell you now, I thought it was generally understood that I lo–

Just make it official, okay James? For me?

Okay… I love you, Lily Evans.

I love you too, James Potter

I can't tell you how good it feels to finally hear that.

You don't have to – I feel the same way.

Review please! Be brutally honest; I don't care if you think I should never again in my entire life write a dialogue, as long as you tell me! The only way I'll be able to improve my writing is if I get input. Any grammar or spelling mistakes – point them out to me. I want the blunt and honest truth.
