Snap!
James was good with words. He could persuade the group to participate in any prank no mater how ridiculous and impossible it seemed. He could talk his way out of many a tight situation, and into many more. He could inspire awe amongst the gullible first years with but a wave of his hand and a dramatic string of words depicting a scene of one of his many endeavours with the Marauders. Overall James was very much an expert when it came to words. Most of the time.
Lily Evans seemed to arouse a whole new side of him. The talent for talk completely dissipated on sight of her. Resulting in the many, many, many times he'd tried to persuade her to go out with him. Each attempt more tactless than the last. She must have taken pity on him to finally agree. She must have also regretted it when, in the midst of happy couples, deep into the abyss of Madam Puddifoot's he had exclaimed rather loudly;
"This place looks like marshmallow vomit."
James, when faced with Lily Evans, had a tendency to say inappropriate things. Many moths later, after she had gotten to know and surprisingly like him, James still had this unfortunate tendency. And when Lily said, with a significant amount of gravity, the words "I love you" he simply replied;
"Snap!"
A/N: I was sitting around marvelling at my left shoe, as you do, and this two line conversation just came to my head.
"I love you."
"Snap!"
I couldn't help but write this. I hope you like it even if it is only short.
