Prompt-Flourish and Blotts

James Potter saw Lily Evans for the first time in Flourish and Blotts. He was eleven, she was eleven. Her fiery red hair was shining with excitement. James just couldn't take eyes off her.

Things didn't go so well for them for the next few years. The more James fell for her, the more Lily ignored him.

"Hey Evans!"

Fifth-year lily turned to see Potter coming her way and groaned. He stood in front of her in the matter of seconds, so she couldn't even run away.

"Potter." She responded coldly.

Potter put a dramatic hand on his chest and said, "That's the beautiful greeting I get? Honestly Evans, such love for me?"

Lily scowled and said, "Love? Potter, have you hit your head?"

Few snickers could be heard from behind the bookshelf they were staring in front of.

"Why Lily, I am sure I heard a rumor that you had taken a fancy for me from, might I quote, 'the wonderful match when Potter defeated the badgers.' " James said with a smirk.

Lily hated that her cheeks began to glow. Yes, she had said that, but she was just saying. Honestly, the next time she saw that Marlene McKinnon, it would be the last time she will breathe.

"Is that a blush I see Evans?"

Lily came back to the present and sneered. "in your dreams Potter. Despite popular belief, I do support my house team and like to praise good players."

"AHA!" James laughed, "So you accept I am a good player!"

"Why, yes!" Lily said, folding her arms. "But that doesn't mean I will go out with you. Now if yo must excuse me, I need to get my books. Goodbye!"

With that final word, Lily turned to her heels and walked away. She heard Potter shout behind her, "One day Evans, one day you'll profess your love for me in this very bookshop."

The bookshop itself seemed to take it as a challenge.

It was the Christmas Break of Seventh Year when Lily entered Flourish and Blotts once again. She had started dating Potter-no, James only a few weeks ago and was actually glad of it. Her life looked good, and she hoped it remained that way.

"Hey Evans!"

Lily turned to see James running towards her.

"Potter!" She responded with mock-annoyance.

James put a dramatic hand on his chest and said, "That's the beautiful greeting I get? Honestly Evans, such love for me?"

Lily rolled her eyes and said, "You have no originality, do you know that? That's exactly the same conversation we had two years ago in this bookshop. Honestly James!"

James, meanwhile, just smirked. "So you remember conversations that took place two years, when, in your words, you loathed me."

Lily felt her cheeks grew warmer.

"Oh, James!" She turned and picked a random book from the shelf and began reading, her eyes not really concentrating. How could she be so foolish? Believe in James to remember something ancient.

Well, you remember it too. A voice replied back.

Shut up!

"Hey, what is written there?" James asked.

"huh? 'I love you.'" Lily blushed furiously as she shouted, "JAMES!"

As she began chasing him around the shop with a book in her hand, he shouted back, "I did say I will make you profess your love for me here in this very bookshop! OUCH! LILY!"

The bookshop, meanwhile, just beamed.
