James left the room and went to go get the flowers. After he left the common room, he thought more and more about the fight. 'How could she not see a future?' James thought. 'We are perfect for each other.' The more James thought about it, the angrier he got. Eventually he was just pacing up and down the hallway thinking about the fight.
'Wait a minute.' He thought, clearing his head. 'You're getting mad at Lily about whether or not she would use you name for her kid? There will be no future for this relationship if you keep going like this!' James was still pretty mad, so he thought about all the things he loved about Lily to get him calm.
He remembered one time, Lily was talking about how she wondered her first date would be like with Sirius. This was, of course, very soon after Sirius had asked Lily out. "It will just be so romantic, you know?" Lily had said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Extremely." James said very bored.
"I always imagined it was going to be this way." Lily said.
"What was going to be what way?" James asked a bit confused. He hadn't really been listening.
"My first kiss with Sirius. Actually, it was my first kiss. He is so amazing." Lily said. "The only different thing is it was during the day, we weren't going out yet, and it wasn't after our first date."
"But besides that, identical, right?" James said making a joke.
"Exactly." Lily said, not catching the coat. "Exactly like my dreams. In my dreams, Sirius would fly on his broom to my window and knock three times. I would open it and he would be there, my knight in shining armor. He would have lilies for me, go down on one knee and ask me if he could have the honor of being my boyfriend. After I said yes, we would fly around on his broom until dawn. Then, just as he brought be back, he would put a light kiss on my lips. And we would stay together forever."
"I can see how that is exactly like his slamming his tongue down your throat on the street in Hogsmeade." James said sarcastically.
"Oh, shut it." Lily said laughing. "Call me a hopeless romantic, but I think Sirius is my love. And one day he will do that for me."
"Do what?" James said, pretending he didn't know.
"James! Have you been listening? I made this whole speech about romance and James! Stop laughing! Oh, you little prat!" Lily said hitting James. James remembered it well, because that was the first time Lily had actually come into physical contact with him. I mean, sure, there was a brush of the hand sometimes, but this was real. James walked back to the common room without really looking what was in front of him. Soon, he bumped into a knight.
"Oh, sorry." James said and kept walking. Soon he stopped walking and looked back at the knight. Hmmmm....
"I wonder what James is doing now..." Lily said aloud in her room.
"Lily! If you want to know, go to his room! You've said that about fifteen times in the last two minutes!" Norma said.
"No! I couldn't! Do you know what he said to me?" Lily said. "I am very much upset with him."
"Sure you are." Sara mumbled.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Lily challenged Sara.
"You are very much in love with him." Sara said. "Face the facts, Lily, you love James."
"No I don't." Lily said crossing her arms.
"If you didn't love him so much, you wouldn't be this mad at him." Sara said. "If anyone else had said that, you wouldn't have cared. But you love James, and you're worried he actually thinks that when you know he doesn't. Go and tell him you goddamned love him!" Then there were three knocks at the door. Lily looked and saw a figure on a broom. She opened the window and a person in a knight's suit flew in on a broom. Correction, on James' broom.
"Fair maidens. Which one of thy is Lily Evans?" the knight said, sounding amazingly like James.
"I am." Lily said, knowing what would happen.
"These lilies are for my lady Lily." The knight said as he got down on one knee. "Wouldst I have the privilege, no the honor of being able to be your boyfriend again?"
"May I see your face, uh, kind sir?" Lily said. The knight took off his helmet and there was James. "Yes."
"Thank god, this suit of armor is hot!" James said. He got up and smiled. "Would you like to ride my broomstick until dawn? Or is it dusk? It's dawn right?" James looked so nervous.
"Yes, it's dawn." Lily said. "The only thing is in my dream, I'm not afraid of riding a broomstick. In reality however, it is quite the opposite."
"Aw, come on. Otherwise, it's not your dream..." James said as he got on his broom.
Lily sighed and got on. She looked at Sara and said, "This is all your fault."
"Glad I could help." Sara said smiling. Lily flew away with James. She screamed the whole time and swore she would just die. Of course, she didn't. James flew her around and once actually did a loop-de-loop. Lily screamed and clung onto James. James laughed and he went into a dive. Lily yelled at him and made him pull up way earlier than they needed to. Well at least, in James' mind. They flew on until dawn. When they got back to Lily's room, Norma and Sara were sleeping.
"Thank you, James." Lily said. James smiled and put a light kiss on her lips. "James? I have to tell you something."
"May I go first?" James asked. Lily nodded. "Lily, I've felt this way for you for a long time. I always thought you knew, but I guess I should say it aloud. Lily, I love you."
"James, I love you, too." Lily said. Then a single perfect tear ran down her rosy red cheeks. Lily was too happy to wipe it away. James wiped it away gently and kissed Lily again. If they weren't the best couple, I don't know who are.
They would be the best couple, if Lily weren't thinking, "Sirius is a better kisser."
