I just wrote to say… marry me!

James Potter and Lily Evans- Transfiguration class

'Marry me!'

'What?'

'Marry me, Evans'

'Why on earth should I want to do that?'

'Because you love me'

'What gave you that impression?'

'Because you do'

'We're not even dating'

'And whose fault is that?'

'Why are you springing all of this on me in a transfiguration lesson?'

'Because it's February 29th'

'And?'

'Guy can propose to girls on a leap year!'

'No they can't'

'Yes they can'

'No they… well, yes they can'

'Ha!'

'No, what I mean is that guys can propose to girls any time but girls can only propose to guys on a leap year, that's the rule'

'Ok'

'"Ok" what?

'I accept your proposal'

'I did not just propose to you!'

'Yes you did, it's there in black and white'

'Talking of Black, where are your faithful followers today?'

'Don't change the subject'

'I didn't propose! I just said that… oh, never mind!'

'Would you ever marry me though?'

'No'

'Why not?'

'For reasons I am not going to discuss in writing on the corner of a page of notes in a transfiguration lesson. I'm going to ignore you now'

'Don't ignore me, we're engaged my love!'

'We are not engaged!'

'Why won't you marry me?'

'Fine! For one thing we're 15'

'So?'

'So, we're far too young!'

'It could be a long engagement'

'No Potter'

'Please?'

'Still no, let go on my arm. Let me continue'

'Yes my darling'

'Get away from me, I'm not going to kiss you in front of McGonagall'

'But you would kiss me somewhere else?'

'And that is a whole different conversation best left for a much longer piece of parchment! Where was I?'

'Counting the reasons why you are dying to marry me!'

'Ah yes, the million reasons why I never would! Two, we've never dated'

'Again, whose fault is that?'

'Three, I don't like you'

'Of course you do, everybody likes me'

'I don't, you're arrogant, cocky, mischievous, self-centred…'

'And they're just my good points!'

'Stop stealing the paper. Anyway, above all you're an idiot'

'You know you love me really'

'No I don't'

'I will prevail, Lily Evans! You will be mine!'

'And with that possessive comment I will leave you'

'Miss Evans, are you actually considering breaking the school rules and walking out in the middle of class?'

'No'

'Yes you are! I'm rubbing off you Evans, we'll make a troublemaker out of you yet'

'Class finished five minutes ago'

'But you stayed and wrote to me? Be still my beating heart, the wondrous Lily Evans actually took time out for her busy schedule to write to me!'

'Goodbye Potter'

'Goodbye my sweet, my angel, my fiancée!'

'Burn this conversation Potter'

'Never! I shall hold it close for ever more!'

'I'll tell the guys about your fluffy bunny slippers you wore whilst raiding the kitchens the other night'

'Consider it burnt'
