A/N: I am sooooo sorry for not writing for AGES!!!!! What with school, Christmas, family etc I have completely forgotten about writing! But do not fear, the next one is on its way!

'Lily, I lo-' James started softly,

'James! How the hell could you do this to me? Just when I thought you were alright, just when I'd started to like you, it turns out you were playing a pathetic trick on me!' Lily stormed at a completely bewildered James.

'But Lily, I didn't try to trick you! I swear I didn't! If I never say another true thing in my life, you can sure as anything believe this!'

'James how could you not want to trick me? You've never left me alone, always wanted to be with me. Perhaps this was your way of tricking me into falling in love with you. Just so I can be another notch on your bedpost!' She started to sob,

'But Lily, that's not what I want. I don't care about sleeping with you, I don't care about kissing you. I care about…you.'

'and you're an illegal Animagus! How stupid d'you have to be to – what did you say?' Lily stopped when she thought about what James had said,

'I love you Lily Evans, I want us to be together, to get married, have a child. I want to love you until the day I die. I've tried to get over you, but the one thing that's holding me back is the fact that…I don't want to because I love you.'

'No, no you don't. You think I'm a toy, someone pretty for you to chase. You don't love me, you never have and you never will. Stop lying James.' Whatever Lily said on the outside, inside she was thinking did he say it? Did he mean it? Oh God, if you're up there, please let him have meant it. Please God. Please…

'Lily, if I didn't love you, why would I say it? What would I gain? I would be humiliated; you would know my secret. You could tell Dumbledore that I'm an Animagus. Please believe me Lily. This is the only thing I've ever been sure about. Please.'

'Okay,' she said softly, gazing into his dark brown eyes,

'What? You serious?'

'Yes, James I love a you and I-' before she could finish, James lifted her face towards his; he bent down and kissed her.

'Look, it's James and Lily.'

'I guess it worked then!'

'Should we go over?'

'Nah, leave them for a bit.' Remus had turned back to his human form again, he looked at the beautiful sight. James and Lily holding each other. Kissing. The three friends quietly walked past the couple, back into the castle.
