LILY/ JAMES

LILY'S POV

James Potter is the stupidest person in the world. It's just that he's so cute! I don't get how I can have a crush on him; he is supposed to be my worst enemy. "Well at least he was in 4th year and 3 years later I have a huge crush on him. It's just so hard to keep it looking like I hate him I really really like him. Everyone says that he likes me, and I really hope it's true! It' probably not, but who knows?"

JAMES, SIRIUS, AND REMUS

"You know you like her, just admit it!" Sirius said.

"NO I DON'T!" James yelled.

"Sure Prongs, like we believe you," said Remus with a smug smile. Part of his and Sirius's plan was to get James all mad.

"I DO NOT LIKE HER! I HATE LILY EVANS!" said James so loud that everyone in the common room could hear it. "Oops," he said covering his mouth with his hand. LILY

So far 7 girls that day had come up to Lily and asked her what she did to make James Potter one of the most popular boys in school hate her. Lily had no idea what they were talking about till she heard the rumor that in the Common Room James had just blurt out that he hated her. Usually Lily was smart enough to not believe rumors but when someone tapped her from behind Lily lost it.

"What? Are you here to tell me how much James Potter hates me? Well I don't care. I didn't do anything to him. Lily spun around to face whoever had tapped her and to her surprise it was James. "I uh-,"

JAMES

Does Lily really think that I hate her? I hope not. I was thinking of telling her how much I like her soon but if she heard what I said in the Common Room. He glanced at Lily. She looked so cute when she was stuttering.

"Lily, I'm sorry. I don't hate you," said James gently.

Lily burst into tears. James looked a little shocked but he hugged her and let her cry into his chest. He squeezed her tight.

"It's alright Lily. Everything will be fine," said James soothingly.

"NO IT WON'T! How could you say that?" Lily sobbed.

"I didn't mean it," James said lamely.

"Yeah of course you didn't. That's why you said it. Right?" Lily taunted.

"Why would you care anyway?"

Lily grew quiet and blushed.

"Well…. It's because… um… because…" she stammered.

"Because what?" James prompted.

"Ilikeyou," Lily said fast, turning bright red, like a tomato.

"What?" asked James confusedly.

"Do I have to say it again?"

"Yes, I really didn't hear it. You were talking to fast," James pointed out.

"Fine. I like you." Lily said staring at the ground.

James took a step back with a shocked expression on his face.

Lily's eyes brimmed with tears. "Are you happy now?" she asked James softly.

"Actually I am," said James. He took 2 steps forward so they were close enough to touch. He leaned forward and his lips met hers happily seeking the love. They broke apart for air, and James said, "I like you too."

They continued kissing until Peeves came into the room. They quickly broke apart and pretended to study. When he left they resumed.

After dinner, Lily's friend Mae came up to them and asked if they were going out. Lily and James looked at each other, and nodded. Their friend freaked out and ran to tell everybody.

James got down on one knee. "Lily Evans, will you go out with me?"

"Yes!"
