~ Chapter 4 ~ Answer me ( I dunno why I'm calling it this)
Lily stared, stunned at her boyfriend of 3 years and friend for all her life.
"Lily. . .this would be the part where you say 'Yes' or 'No.' Choose one," James said anxiously. He didn't feel nervous anymore, just apprehensive.
Lily looked unsure. "I do think so," she said quietly.
***I just had to let that sink in***
"Oh." James looked crestfallen. "I understand," he said, looking down.
Lily gazed and him and slowly smiled. "James," she said softly. "I was kidding."
"Huh?"
Lily giggled. "Of COURSE I'll marry you! FINALLY you asked me!" She hugged him profusely, laughing like mad.
"Really?" James asked mildly, a smile creeping back on his face.
"Do you want me to repeat it? YES! I said YES!" Lily said happily.
"I must be dreaming," James said, dazed.
"Nope. It's reality. And James, you should know me by now. You didn't think I'd turn you down, did you?"
"Well, I wasn't sure if you felt ready. I mean, we're really young."
"I know, but age doesn't matter here. We've known each other long enough."
"Good!" James grinned.
Lily beamed at him. "I can't wait to tell Ali!"
"Uh, actually, Ali already knows," he said sheepishly, sitting down in his proper chair again.
"She does?"
"Yeah, Sirius told her."
Lily frowned at him "So everyone knew but me? How rude." She smiled again. "I love you," she whispered.
James grinned. "You know I feel the same way."

"Wonder when they'll be back," Ali said, checking her watch. She was sprawled out on the couch, filing her nails.
Sirius was peering outside the window past the curtains. Remus was spying through the door window.
"What HAVE you guys been staring at for the past hour?" she demanded, watching where the boys were looking.
"Lily and James," Sirius grunted.
"Huh?"
"They've been back for a long time. But they're too busy snogging in that car," Remus said desractedly.
"And you guys are SPYING on them?" Ali said defensively. She got up and yanked the curtains out of Sirius's hands and closed the blinds on the window.
"Enough. Both of you," she said sternly glowering at them all. Sirius and Remus looked put out.
"You guys can't spy on them. That's mean. They deserve some privacy."
"How come you didn't say that when they were all spying on me and you?" Sirius pointed out. He sat on the couch and pulled Ali into his lap.
"I did! But Lily and James are like, engaged now. Leave them alone," she said softly, defending her best friend.
"Ok, ok," Remus added, sitting down on the chair near them. Sirius kissed Ali and Ali kissed back.
"Aw, you guys are digusting. I'm so outta here," he said stiffly, walking away.
"He misses Sierra. I can tell," Sirius murmured.
"I know. I think we all do."
