"Do you know what Lily was doing when I was going to ask her to the Halloween dance?" James said, walking into his room where Sirius and Peter were playing a game of chess and Remus was lying on the bed, still recovering from the full moon.
"Talking with Sara and Norma?" Sirius 'guessed' pointing to the Marauders Map.
"Yeah, they were picking names for Lily and my children." James said sitting on his bed.
"You got Lily pregnant?" Peter said looking away from the board. Sirius switched some pieces and smiled.
"No, of course not. They were just doing it for fun." James said.
"And you are mad because...?" Sirius asked.
"She wouldn't name our son James Jr." James said.
"That's it?" Sirius asked.
"Well, it turned into more. I don't think she's taking our relationship seriously." James said. "I have said many times that I love Lily Evans, and now she tells me she doesn't she a future?"
"Did she say those exact words?" Remus said slowly. "Have you ever told her you loved her?"
"Well, no not those exact words. She said she wasn't thinking about marriage just yet." James said. "And of course I've told Lily I love her. Haven't I? My god, I haven't, have I?"
"Way to go, champ." Sirius said. "Whoa, Wormtail, look at that!" Peter turned around and Sirius switched some pieces again.
"What?" Peter said. "What was it?"
"Oh, I thought I saw the Grim or something. I was wrong." Sirius said. "Sorry. Anyway, is it my turn?"
"What am I supposed to do? I said something really mean." James said.
"What did you say?" Sirius asked.
"When I asked why she was picking names, she said she was just fooling around." James said, remembering the scene. "So I asked if she fooled around enough that she was constantly having to pick names."
"Why on earth would you say that to Lily Evans?" Sirius asked.
"I was mad. I regret it now, but I don't think she knows that." James said.
"Tell her you love her." Remus said. "Give her lilies and tell her you love her."
"Give Lily lilies?" James asked. "I don't know, doesn't that seem a bit corny?"
"Corny to a guy is romantic to a girl." Sirius said. "Oh, Peter, checkmate."
"What?" Peter said looking down at the board in disbelief.
"He's been switching the pieces." Remus said. "And Lily loves you, go tell her you love her."
"I think I will..." James said, getting up and leaving the room.
"You cheated?" Peter asked.
"Yeah, whatever, wormtail," Sirius said, not really caring. "Moony, James is going in the opposite direction of Lily's room. In fact, he's leaving the common room. Lily's still in her room, though."
"I just hope he's getting the flowers..." Remus said and went to sleep.
(Thanks for your reviews! Is James just getting flowers? Will he tell Lily he loves her? Will Lily forgive him? Why do they fight so much? Please review!)
