After knowing each other for six years, three months and two days, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black began dating. It was a casual thing, you know how these things usually go about. With the whole school watching in shock and surprise and your best friend and soon-to-be boyfriend sticks his tongue down your throat.
That doesn't do it justice though. The way I just described it makes it seem as if it was unwelcomed by Remus, it wasn't trust me. Though it came as a shock at first (similar to taking a leap into a pool you assumed to be warm when in actual fact it is near freezing), Remus liked being kissed by Sirius.
He did not however, like being kissed by his secret love in front of all his peers. And teachers.
That is why it took Remus three months to say 'I love you.' to Sirius.
It wasn't that Remus didn't love Sirius before that, in fact he had loved him for five years, seven weeks before they first snogged.
It was, however, that Remus had finally come to terms and accepted the fact as a whole.
And a little part of him also wanted to give Sirius a slice of revenge for humiliating him. It was worth it for both of them in the long run.
After intense loathing for seven years, one day, Lily told James (finally) that she loved him. Dearly, you could say.
She didn't mean to, fall in love and declare it, I mean. She most certainly did not want to fall for James "arrogant prick" Potter, not at all. However, you cannot help these things at all.
It's a good thing that by the time James was near a legal age, his head had shrunk considerably.
If his head didn't shrink then perhaps Lily would never have accidentally said
"Hi James." In a chirpy, bird sing-song voice. A voice that pleasant should not be existent at seven in the morning.
"Oh, hey Lily." Replied James.
"I love you." The words threw and propelled themselves out of her mouth, from where, they landed on James's thoughts.
I don't think they ever really left James's thoughts, ever.
Even in his final moments of life, (assuming someone could have heard his thoughts) the honey-toned sound of Lily bubbling up an 'I love you' toyed around and around in his head.
Remember that one time I was blown out of the after because we were at the 50th chapter?
Remember that one time that I was almost at the 100th? Guys, that time is now.
