Author's Note: R&R PEOPLE!! I mean seriously. I wanna know what you think about the story! I got a bunch of hits but only like 5 reviews. Now that's just sad, people. R&R!! Also, I know Rita Skeeter's a bit OOC. I know. Don't yell at me.

"This is huge!" exclaimed Rita. "This is great! The whole school's been betting on this since first year!"

"People bet on whether or not me and James would get together?" said Lily, astonished.

"No, people bet on which one of you would kiss the other first, duh!" scoffed Rita. "Speaking of which, Dolores, you owe me 30 Galleons." A fat toadlike girl with a bow perched on the top of her head sheepishly opened her purse and gave Rita the 30 Galleons.

Lily's mouth dropped. The whole school knew that she and James would get together since first year? Were we really that obvious? She thought. I mean, I've always hated him. It's been a concrete fact that I've hated him since I first set eyes on him. No, wait, the first thing I thought when I first saw him was how amazingly cute he was. I regretted that. But not anymore.

On the other hand, James was thrilled. So there, Lily, he thought. Apparently we were meant to be together, and everybody knows it. It's true and you know it. I was really that obvious. Well, that's what you get from being best friends with Sirius Black for seven years.

"So, are you going to tell the whole school?" asked James.

"Of course I would!" said Rita. "It'll be huge! Naturally, anyone would tell the whole school. Even the teachers know that you and Lily were destined for each other. Don't stare like that, Lily dear, you know it's true." Lily rolled her eyes in disgust, but strangely, she wasn't angry at Rita.

Later, as they walked out of Quentin's Quidditch Supplies, James said to Lily, "That Rita Skeeter sure is strange, isn't she?"

"Yeah." laughed Lily. "Next thing you know, she'll start a rumor that we're planning to get married!"

James started blushing. "Well, you never know, that might actually happen!" he said nervously.

"Don't push it." warned Lily. James laughed and pulled her in for another kiss.

Another Author's Note: How do you think I ended the story? Was it sweet? Was it long? Was it too short? I need some criticism!
