Lily stared at the ripples on the lake, absent-mindedly playing with bits of grass in front of her. She was thinking about James. He always seemed so sweet, but she knew it had to be fake. He was always asking her out, but he had plenty of girls on the side.

*Not this year* a small voice told her. She wanted to ignore it, but it was true. James hadn't gone out with anyone this year, and he hadn't even flirted with anyone, except Lily, of course.

That annoying little voice spoke up again. *He's being loyal.*

*But how can he be loyal if we're not even a couple?*

*Maybe that should change...*

That last thought scared her. Did she want to go out with James Potter? The prankster and quidditch extraordinaire? With his messy black hair, and the look in his eyes when he asked her out...

Smiling to herself, she whispered her answer to the moonlight. "Yes."

* * * A/N: I know it's short, but I didn't think it needed anything else. I was considering making it into a whole story- what do you think? Please review!!!
