DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of this stuff... It's all from J.K. Rowling's mind. :)
"You know, I was thinking," Lily spoke slowly.
"What's new?" Sirius said.
"Harry never knew how we came to be." Lily ignored Sirius.
"Yeah... he didn't!" James said.
"He does! I told him," Sirius said.
"What? YOU TOLD HIM!" Lily shrieked.
"I told him the summer before his fifth year," Sirius said.
"HE WAS 14!" Lily sounded scared.
"How did you tell him? Remember the conversation during the school year?" Lupin asked Sirius.
"Well I left out the background info..." Sirius grinned at Lily's shocked expression.
"What exactly did you tell him?" Lily asked, calming down.
"Yes please tell, I've been dying to know the story," Tonks said, looking at Sirius.
"I'll try to remember exactly... It was the our seventh year at Hogwarts. James was chosen to be Head Boy and Lily was Head Girl. After about a month of James constantly getting rejected by Lily, he decided to turn to Moony. Yes, Moony." Sirius began.
"Why are you so shocked?" Lupin asked.
"Even I couldn't help him, so Moony had no hope. I had dated many girls so I was an expert, but I guess you just need my looks to pull it off. James had messy dark hair and hazel eyes. Lily had red hair and green eyes. Harry already knew this of coarse, everyone told him 'you look just like your father, but with your mothers eyes'. Anyways, Moony decided to be all wise and said 'be her friend first'. James was so desperate he actually tried Moony's way. Instead of calling her 'Lilyflower' or 'Lils' or even 'Lily' he called her Evans. Lily always referred to James as 'Potter'. So this is how the conversation went while they were patrolling the halls." Sirius paused for effect.
""Hey Evans!"
"NO!"
"Wh- I haven't even asked you anything yet!"
"We both know you are going to ask me out." She replied, moodily.
"I was going to ask if I should patrol the corridor downstairs..." James grinned. He leaned against the wall next to Lily. She looked into his handsome, hazel eyes. 'He is pretty good looking... Sirius is hotter though... but I obviously have no chance with him. I guess I will settle for this' she thought."" Sirius grinned.
"WHAT? SIRIUS! IF YOU TOLD THAT TO HARRY I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU SO-" Lily screamed.
"I didn't tell Harry that part. Now may I continue the story, Lilyflower?" Sirius smiled. "And we all know that was what you were thinking." Lupin burst out laughing.
"James tried to push his luck and moved closer... the next thing you know, their hands were around each other. Golly, Moony's method was actually getting better results then mine. Then they broke apart. James offered to walk Lily to the common room. They went together."
"That's cute!" Tonks said, smiling.
"I'm not finished, Nymphi!" Sirius grinned at Tonks's frown. "The next morning, Lily's extremely annoying friend, Janice, and her hot, amazing kisser friend, Sara, demanded all the details. Lily, of coarse lied to her friends. James knew better and told all his friends the truth about what happened."
"I lied for a good reason!" Lily pouted.
"Whatever... So the Marauders conversation went like this:
'You kissed?' Moony grinned. 'It's the method!'
'So?' I asked eagerly.
'What?' James said, stupidly. Just and hour ago he had snogged the girl of his dreams.
'How was it?'
'Uhh... good?' I rolled my eyes at James's stupid response.
'Was it wet?'" Lily grunted something about being nosey.
"'Well... kind of...' I knew James was really in love. The next time he tried to make a move on Lily, she slapped him. What a jerk!" Sirius grinned at Lily.
"I didn't want my friends to find out!" Lily defended.
"So your friends were priority to me?" James acted hurt. Lily kissed him.
"So he felt discouraged at thought Lily hated him. I tried to tell him that she wasn't worth it, but it made it worse. James was more discouraged by Lily ignoring him. The Head Boy and Head Girl conversations went like this:
"Hi James!"
"You get that corridor and I will get this one," He would grunt. He never let his feelings show to anyone but his Marauder buddies. He cried once..." James hit Sirius on his head.
"That's cute!" Tonks said.
"I remember that night... The day after Lily slapped him." Lupin grinned. Lily bit her lip, looking guilty.
"Then Lily said, 'Are you mad at me or something?'
James laughed bitterly. 'MAD? ME?' He stormed off to a corridor. I met him there.
'What happened, Prongsie?' I ran my hand through my AWESOME hair.
'I- I can't hate her but I can't love her knowing that she hates me!' James had tears in his eyes. Moony came out from under the cloak.
'Well you can't just avoid her!' He told James.
'Watch me.'" Sirius smiled. "James was good at those kinds of things... Dramatic end quotes..."
"CONTINUE WITH THE DANM STORY!" Lily was getting annoyed at Sirius.
"Okay... god..." Sirius glared at Lily before starting again. "James completely ignored Lily for two days straight. She never cried, but now was an exception. Tears poured out. 'James doesn't want you... He hates you...' Lily thought. She loved James though. She loved the was he rode his broomstick and how he would walk by the lake with his handsome friends-OW!" Lily hit Sirius and James grinned.
"It's true..." Lily hit James as well.
"I have to agree- pleasedonthitme!" Lily spared Remus.
"She hated herself for it, but she loved James. 'I bloody love James Potter!' She cried silently. Little did she know that Sirius Black heard her through his PERFECT ears that were usually covered by his sexy hair."
"We all know what you look like. Continue with the story." Lupin said, simply.
"'So you do love James!' Sirius said, taking Lily by surprise.
'Don't tell him, please!' How could young Sirius say no to her red, puffy eyes.
'i won't. He thinks you hate him though,'
'Why would he think that?'
'Oh, I don't know, because you have been ignoring him during school hours and you slap him nearly every time he attempts to talk to you?'
'So what do I do?' Sirius whispered something to her. She nodded and went to bed. Sirius had changed James life."
"What did you say?" Lupin asked.
"Yeah- what?" James was curious.
"You'll see!" Sirius teased. "Lily walked up to James who was sitting in the common room. He was reading a book on Quidditch. She sat next to him.
'What?' James spat.
'Am I not allowed to sit here?' Lily replied innocently.
'Uh...' Next thing he knew, Lily was pressed up against him, her lips on his. His hands were around her.
'I love you, James.'
'I love you, Lily.'
Then, later that night, Harry was... made... But I'll spare you the details."
"I hope you didn't tell Harry that!" Lily said to Sirius.
"Oh, don't worry. I did."
"That's so sweet!" Tonks smiled.
"So what exactly did you tell Lily?" Lupin wondered.
"That is still a secret." Lily smiled at Sirius.
