To Set the Scene: Lily is sitting in the common room, discussing her bewildering relationship with James, with her dearest friend Remus, and trying to talk herself out of the best decision she has ever made.
Lily: If there's a prize for rotten judgment, I guess I've already won that… No man is worth the aggravation! That's ancient history--been there, done that!
Remus: Who do you think you're kidding? He's the earth and heaven to you! Try to keep it hidden… Lily, I can see right through you. You can't conceal it. I know how you feel and it's James you're thinking of!
Lily: No chance, no way! I won't say it, no, no…
Remus: You swoon, you sigh...why deny it?
Lily: It's too cliché! I won't say I'm in love...
(Lily stands up and quickly exits the common room. Remus follows and catches up with her as she's on her way to walk by the lake)
Lily: I thought my heart had learned its lesson. It feels so good when you start out… My head is screaming, get a grip, Lil. That Potter Boy will make you cry your heart out!
Remus: You keep on denying who you are and how you're feeling. Lils, I'm not buying. Dear, I saw you hit the ceiling. Face it like an auror. When are you going to own up that you've got it bad?
Lily (walking away from Remus): No chance, no way! I won't say it, no, no!
Remus (in pursuit): Give up, give in! I can tell… you're in love!
Lily: This scene won't play. I won't say I'm in love.
Remus: You can't avoid it. Read my lips. You're in love.
Lily (sitting at the water's edge): You're way off base. I won't say it! Get off my case, Remus, I won't say it!
Remus: Lily, don't be so proud… It's okay. you're in love.
(Remus puts a comforting arm around her. James, spotting the pair, rushes towards them, staying unseen. He hides behind a tree near by and listens.)
Lily: At least out loud, I won't say I'm in love…
Remus: Lily, just because you're in love with him doesn't mean you have to shout it from the astronomy tower. You can wait for the perfect moment.
James: Pst!
(James catches Remus' eye and nods at him feverishly until he gets the hint)
Remus: Hold on for just a moment, Lil. I think I l dropped something by the entrance to the castle. I'll be back in a moment.
(He scurries off)
James: Hello Evans. Looking lovely, as always.
Lily (rolling her eyes): Thank you James.
James: You know, I'm having a hard time getting used to you actually tolerating me for more than one second at a time…
Lily: Is it that, or are you just not used to having an ego that fits into a classroom without suffocating it's occupants.
James: Gee thanks, I love you too.
Lily: What?
James: I said… (he leans in very close) that I love you too…
(James and Lily kiss in the moonlight. Remus watches from across the lake, wondering if he would be the one kissing Lily, if only he had told her he was in love…)
