A/N: Don't be fooled by the title, it's not just her daydreams, it also…well I'll leave you to figure out why the title is the way it is. I wouldn't want to ruin the story now would I?

"Lily?" James said nervously.

"Yes, James? Lily was lost in those deep, brown eyes.

"I love you. Perhaps I always have. I just wanted you to know that nothing can ever stop our love for each other. Lily, will you marry me?" James asked passionately getting down on bended knee.

"Oh!" Lily could have screamed with pleasure. "Of course I will! I've been waiting years for this."

She didn't have time to say anything more, as at that point James drew her in for their very first, and quite intense kiss. Lily didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So she settled down and kissed James back. Everything was perfect in her world now; nothing could possibly go wrong. Or so she thought, until she woke up.

Lily sighed. This was ridiculous! She'd had the same dream for an entire week now! And she was sure that she would never ever love the tall, handsome, and quite popular quidditch player who was also one of her best friends. This having been decided, Lily turned over and went back to sleep.

"Bella, it happened again!" Lily complained to her very best friend Arabella Figg that morning over breakfast in the Great Hall.

"What happened again?" Sirius asked pleasantly as he plopped himself down in the seat next to Arabella. James too looked curious.

"Oh nothing." Lily said. It's just that I keep having the same weird dream reoccur night after night."

"Ooh!" said Sirius seeming excited. "What is it about?"

"Oh nothing." Said Lily quickly. Her face flushed with embarrassment.

Sirius cocked an eyebrow the way he was famous for doing.

He looked so comical that Lily laughed.

James turned to Sirius "I think that Lily's gone a bit mad. Either that or he fancies you!" he exclaimed slyly.

Lily slapped James playfully on the arm.

"Yeah as if!" then she decided to freak James out. "As if there was anyone in this world for me besides you!" Lily said in a wistful sort of way.

James looked startled for a minute but it came to pass.

"Yeah" he said easily. Visibly relaxing as he realized she was only joking. "Yeah, how could I ever doubt you, baby?"

He then grabbed her and the two pretended to snog visibly.

They only stopped when they realized that Sirius and Bella weren't laughing anymore. When they looked up they saw that Severus Snape, the greasy haired kid from Slytherin had been making obscene comments about them. All the Slytherins started laughing but Lily, and James especially looked ashamed.

That day as James and Lily walked to Divination, James asked her

"Lily, if someone were to suddenly erm, look at you in a different way than a friend-" James was interrupted.

"You mean if someone liked me." Lily said amused.

"Er yes, how would you react to that?" James asked

Lily sighed. "James if you really want it, you have my permission to make Severus Snape fall in love with me."

"Woohoo!" James yelled.

Lily smiled. She knew he'd be happy to hear that.

Coming back to her, James asked "How'd you know what I wanted to do?"

"You forget James Potter, that I've known you for six years."

"I know, I know." James sighed.

When the rest of the Marauders retired back to the common room they found Lily and James deep in conversation.

"Well we need. Details." They heard James say. "Lot's of details. Little things that will fool Snape into thinking he's in love with you."

"Sounds perfect!" Lily grinned. And though he didn't realize it, James' stomach flip-flopped.

A week later everything was ready. The dream was sent. Knowing there was nothing they could do but wait until the next morning, the Marauders trudged off into bed.

The next morning was well worth their wait. The Marauders made sure to pass by the Slytherin table and as Lily passed by Severus made a gallant, yet very fake act of dropping his goblet on the floor.

Lily laughed as she walked by saying, "What's the matter Snape? Drop something?"

Lily grinned uncontrollably, the dream they sent had worked. Snape liked her! She went to bed that night content, never knowing that at that exact moment in an abandoned bathroom stall Severus Snape was hard at work brewing the strongest love potion he knew how, to make Lily fall in love with him.
