"He told me he loved me, Remus."

” And this shocks you because?”

her head shot up, her green eyes wide as she stared at him, mouth slightly open.

” Because, he thinks he loves me! He doesn’t! He can’t!”.
Remus sighed, and raised an eyebrow at her.

” Why ever not?”.

Lily made an exasperated sound.

” He’s James Potter. I treat him like complete shit!”.

" You treated him like complete shit. You don’t anymore. I thought you were rather close nowadays.” He corrected her.

"We were. We are! We..” She groaned and put her head in her hands. Remus bit his lip.

"Look Lil. He did ask you out. Every single day. For about a year.”

”That was two years ago! And that wasn’t love. That was barely a crush, for merlins sake. That was a way to piss me off.”

Remus laughed, but manage to stifle his giggled at the look Lily gave him.

”Lily, is that what you really think?”

She nodded hesitantly.
He shook his head.

"If James wanted to just ’ piss you off’ he would have pranked you or something. Not repeatedly put himself out there for you to shoot him down.”

Lily pursed her lips.
” But.. He’s James Potter!”.
Remus laughed.

" You can’t keep using that as a valid excuse for him not to love you.”
She looked down at her feet.

"What did you say to him then?”.
Lily looked up, her face clouded with guilt.
” Um.. nothing. I just.. Stood there. Until he walked away. He said..'That’s fine Lily. You don’t need to say anything. I’ll just leave you alone now. I just wanted you to know. To see if I should keep trying. But I have my answer now.’”
Lily looked down sadly.

the sandy haired boy sighed.

"Why didn’t you answer? Because you don’t love him?”.
Lily wrung her hands out.

”Because.. He’s cocky, he’s arrogant, he can be rather vain and selfish some times, and too loud and ambitious. He can be infuriating and annoying, he can be sarcastic and snarky, he can be…”

Lily froze mid sentence, her eyes widening slightly.
Remus smiled, knowingly. He nudged her encouragingly.
” Go on.”

She took a shaky breath.

"But he can be funny, and insightful, and really, really clever. He can do little things, like pull my chair out for me, hold doors open for me, carry me up to my room when I fall asleep in the common room.. He can be kind, and caring, and gentle, and he can never fail to put a smile on my face. He can be.. James. He’s James Potter, with all of the arrogance, and all of the cockiness, but also all of the other things. And-“

She froze again. Without warning, she jumped up, her eyes wide again. She turned to Remus, and flung her arms around him. Remus chuckled softly.
” What was that for?”.

"I need to go!”. She exclaimed, pulling apart from him. She began to run down the corridor.

"You just helped me realise, that despite being the annoying toerag that he is, I love him! I love James Potter! And I need to tell him! He needs to know!”. She yelled, still running down the corridor.

Remus shook his head, a huge smile on his face.

”Your welcome Prongs.” He murmured softly.
