Intimate Moments

And I'll be the question, if you'll be the answer

He has started to pay careful attention to her because then he will start to notice things about her than not everyone knows – and if that isn't a reassurance of his feelings for her, he's not quite sure what is. Months ago Padfoot had said that he was being a fairy, and if he liked her so much he should just ask her out. Evidently this approach to Lily Evans has not worked. He now knows that she does not appreciate extravagant declarations of love and subtle sincerity will work much better.

So he has begun to observe her with careful consideration, she is certainly out of the ordinary, not following the norm. Out of her many strange qualities, most of which he finds incredibly endearing and cannot wait (in future of course, he is certain he will marry her and have lots of babies) to be accustomed to them further, is that she is always always early to everything. He has never seen anyone as punctual as her, and that is undoubtedly proof enough that she is not from this world.

Clearly, he is thinking about her way too much, exceeding the limits – no man should spend this much time thinking about a girl. It is certain, he is completely besotted by her.

The next time Sirius calls him a fairy, he doesn't argue.

Intimacy is observation.
