1 hour – prompts used: "Where did you come from?", "I love you to the moon and back.", "She smiled!", "I guess you can stay." And "Is it just me or does something smell like roses?"

"I take it that you're going over there then?" Sirius asked, causing James to jump and remove his eyes from the beauty that was Lily Evans. "Calm down mate."

"Padfoot!" He cried. "Where did you come from?"

"Well it depends; half of me came from my father whilst the other half came from my mother but I overall I came from my mother's-" James held his hands up to hint that he had heard too much and his best friend smirked. "So are you going to go?" James shrugged. "Come on Prongs, that girl is as helplessly in love with you as you are with her. Now go before I tell her about your dream last night."

"I don't believe you."

"Oh Lily, a little harder, yes yes yes yes." Sirius whined in an imitation of James' voice. "Please, no don't stop, just a little, ah yes, oh Merlin."

"Stop! Fine, I'm going." He quickly jumped to his feet and headed towards the girl who was reading a book under the willow tree near the Black Lake. He listened to Sirius' laughter and cursed himself for not remembering to cast the Silencing charm last night. When James was close to her, he took a deep breath and felt relaxed when he smelt her signature aroma. "Is it just me or does something smell like roses?"

Lily jumped around a foot in the air, dropping her book to the grass as she turned to look at him in surprise. When her eyes settled on him, she schooled her face into an indifferent mask and glared. "Go away Potter." He smirked, knowing that they were friends and sat next to her before handing her a bar of chocolate. "Oh." She took a bite and shuddered with delight. "I guess you can stay."

"Oh wow, Lily Evans is trusting that I haven't spiked that chocolate with a powerful love potion." She stared dubiously at the chocolate, aware that she hadn't even thought of that, and he laughed. "I didn't by the way, I just wanted to give you something sweet. Like you." Lily couldn't help the twitch of her lips and cursed when his spectacled eyes noticed. "She smiled!"

"I smile all the time doofus."

"Yeah but never to me." She rolled her eyes but rested her head on his shoulder. "Sirius heard me last night." She stiffened.

"What else did he hear?"

"Nothing. He thought I was dreaming." She chuckled and kissed his shoulder lightly. "I was wondering, maybe we could tell the guys now?" She looked up at him with a smile and he frowned. That wasn't really an answer.

"EVANS!" Sirius shouted, interrupting their comfortable silence and they looked over to see Sirius next to Remus who were both looking smug. "IS IT TRUE THAT YOU'RE WITH PRONGS?" He shouted, not caring that half of seventh year and majority of fourth were out with them, listening and watching.

She didn't answer him directly.

"LAST NIGHT WASN'T A DREAM BLACK." She shouted back, a cryptic answer for others who weren't aware of what happened last night. He whooped with delight and embraced Remus. James looked back down at the fiery redhead who had cornered him during their patrol around four months ago, begging him to kiss her because he was driving her crazy.

"I love you to the moon and back." He mumbled before kissing her soundly on the lips.
