"Don't be like that, Evans," James waggled a warning finger at her jokingly. "I know you love me really,"
"I'm being serious!" Lily cried, unable to stop the tears rolling down her cheeks. "It wasn't supposed to be you!"
"Then who was it supposed to be?" James said seriously. Lily sank to her knees.
"I don't know… Anyone! Someone who loved me! I mean, really loved me for who I am! Someone who was there when I needed them!" She buried her face in her hands. "Why you?"
"I love you for who you are,"
"You can't just say that and expect everything to be better!"
"Okay then," James' voice rose, almost angrily. "I love the way you talk too fast when you get angry. I love the way your eyes sparkle when you wave your wand. I love the way you're always the first person with their hand in the air every time a teacher asks a question. I love the way you look so amazing when you're just reading a book!"
"You see?" Lily cried exasperatedly. "You say something like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you! And I hate you, James. I really, really hate you,"
"I know," He said softly, taking her into his arms and letting her sob into his chest.
