"Skippity skippity skip!" sang James as he skipped down the corridor.

"Prongs!" shouted Sirius. "Lily's right there, watch out! Prongs! Sto- Oh, well, I did warn him."

"Get up, Jamsiepoo!" Peter tugged at his friend's sleeve before miming to Remus and Sirius to help.

"Lily," James apologised after he was helped up, "I am so, so, so, so, so, SO sorry. I will never skip again, I promise."

Lily giggled and tapped James on the shoulder before they left.

"Yes, Lilylove?

"Lilylove...?"

"Your nickname, yes. Or Lilyflower? Lily goat gruff? Key Lily pie? Lilian? Lilith?"

"James," Lily sighed. "All I wanted to do was talk about yesterday."

"Okay... Go on."

"I- James Potter, there is no way to say this. Hmm... Well. Erm-"

"Come on, Lil, spit it out."

"JamescanIbeyourgirlfriend?"

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Come again?"

"James, can I be your girlfriend?" Lily asked again, looking into his hazel eyes.

"Oh yes, my Lilyflower, you may!"

"Shut it, you," she replied, smacking him with her textbook.

"You looooove meee."

"Shut uuup!"

"You dooo. Haha! You didn't deny it! Lily Evans loves me, Lily Evans loves me!" James sang, doing a little dance.

"They know we're still here, right?" Remus whispered to Sirius.

"What if we started making out? You know, to make them notice us."

"Oh, yes, if it's for their safety." Remus nodded, pulling Sirius closer to him.

Peter screamed, running to James, "LOOK WHAT YOU'VE STARTED!"
