Disclaimer: Have fun thinking I own something.
A/N: Alright folks this is the last chapter! I just want to thank all of my reviewers for this story: Staz, mediator girl, AnnaBello, Kittyatza, LandUnderWave, shmokey-bear, Tris04, Bubbles56, and octobersnow. Enjoy!
I woke up on the last day of the worst 5 days of my life. Lily didn't know just how much I really loved her. She thought she was just another girl for me but she wasn't. She was the girl.
It was the day before the first quidditch match of the season, just another reason the final task was going to hurt so much. All around the school people were talking about the match. They were talking about which team they thought was going to win, which players were going to do they best, and other quidditch related stuff. When Sirius and I walked into the great hall for breakfast the Gryffindor table cheered their lungs out, literally. All day the hospital wing was full of Gryffindors who had vomited they're lungs out and needed them magically reinserted into their body. We started eating breakfast which was hard for me for two reasons. First because there were a lot of lungs on the table and it was pretty disgusting and second because I was thinking about the task I had to do. I was about to ruin the most important thing in my life right after Lily. I looked down at the list again: 5. Break your broom in the middle of the quidditch field.
Lily was sitting silently in the common room. What was she doing to him? Had he ever really hurt her? She couldn't think of one time that he had ever hurt her in any way. She never thought she'd be thinking this but she actually told herself that Potter might have grown up a little bit. Even if he hadn't grown up to much the fact that he had changed even a little bit meant that he really would do anything for her. She had never thought about Potter so hard in her life.
"You've gotta be kidding me! You're gonna do this?" Sirius asked me with a disgusted face.
"I have to," I said, "I really love her Sirius. You wouldn't understand. You've never been in love."
"Ok you're either incredibly in love or gay" Sirius laughed, "I know that you have to do it. Try to do it quickly, like ripping of a band-aid."
"What's a band-aid?"
"I don't know" Sirius replied, surprised, "The words just came out of my mouth as if we were in a story or something." We stared at each other for who knows how long until finally I said, "Ok well I have to go do it."
"Good luck!"
I went to the broom closet to get my broom. When I found my broom I marched outside.
Outside everyone was having fun. I marched to the center of the quidditch field. Everyone was now looking at me. A crowd formed around me in a circle. I looked down at my broom. I looked at the beautiful cherry wood, the hand-carved handle, and the embedded logo: FIREBOLT.
"On the count of three," I said to myself, "One………………Two……………Thr –
"NO!" a girl yelled from somewhere in the crowd. As she moved forward she saw James looking at her.
James looked at Lily and said, "I love you Lily."
For the first time ever Lily answered, "I love you too James"
They ran at each other and when they finally met they kissed. The whole crowd started to cheer. Even the teachers that had gone outside to see what was going on were smiling. From then on Lily and James were inseparable.
