A/N: You guys seriously rock my world. I randomly decided to update tonight. School starts on Monday, can't believe it. Class of 06...yes!

"You're my only love," she said as he playfully touched a finger to her upturned nose. "My only only love!"

"If only that could be enough," he said dryly.

"Enough to what?" She asked, meeting his eyes.

"You know, stop this war."

"Well, I can't postpone my love until this war ends, you know. It may never end."

"It'll kill you someday."

"What?"

"That naivety."

"I'm only thirteen," she said and touched his nose justas he touched hers, "I'm onlythirteen and I shall be as naive as I please."

"You believe in us?"

"I never said that."

"No, but do you?"

"Of course."

She sat down on the tree stump and he sat next to her, fiddling with his fingers as she laced up her boots. "Anyway," she said briskly.

"Lily..."

"What do you want with me?"

"A smile."

"Oh," she flashed him a smile and continued with her boots, "I can never tie them tight enough."

He moved from his seat and bent down on one knee to tie her boots for her, "I can help you with that."

"Oh God, I can't even tie a shoe!"

"Yes, you're pathetic," he teased.

"Pathetic and lovely," she said, making eyes at him.

"Don't you make eyes at me!"

"Make eyes? Me? Never!"

"You'll be a vixen someday, you know."

"I don't think I want to be a vixen," she said, thinking about it, "I think I just want to be Lily."

"No more, no less?"

"Well, maybe a bit more sometimes. Lily Evans isn't enough sometimes."

"I think it's always enough. Just you," he said, looking at her.

"Oh, and I'm the one who makes eyes at you, hmmm?"

"Men don't make eyes at women. Women make eyes at men."

"You want me!"

"I do not want you!"

"Yes you do...Remus Lupin wants me, and I'm his girl!" She yelled, as though announcing it to the whole world.

"You're ridiculous, and learn how to tie your boots."

She looked down at her tightly tied boots, "why thank you kind Sir."

"Your welcome, Madam."

She gently kissed his forehead and rubbed a hand through his tousled hair, "this war may never end."
