"I choose you"

These words had haunted Petunia's dreams for two weeks. These were the words James had said to her when they had met at the King's Cross station.

Last summer James had come to their house to try and convince Lily that dating Severus was wrong and that he was much better. That he was more suited for such a beautiful girl like her sister. Petunia hadn't wanted to anything to do with him at the beginning. But slowly he had won her over with his charms and witty replies. She had fallen for James Potter.

As if she needed more reasons to be jealous of her sister. Lily had everything. The looks,magic and she was intelligent. And she had the boy she loved. Not that Lily wanted him.

But, to her surprise, James had fallen for her too. The evenings that they had shared, the long discussions, he had slowly discovered Petunia Evans. And he had fallen in love with her.

Even so Petunia could see that he still felt something about her sister. So at the end of the summer she had told him to think about what he wanted. If he wanted her or Lily. Who was his heart's choice?She couldn't be with him knowing about his feelings. She didn't want to be just the replacement for her sister.

All the school year they hadn't met or written to each other. Petunia had forbidden him to come over in holidays or to write him. Lily had tried to convince her to write him,she even had a letter from him to give her. She hadn't even opened it.

And now,the first thing he had said to her when they had met again was "I choose you" and then he had wrapped his arms around her and had kissed her,leaving her in a daze. Then he had whispered "And my heart had done the same"

Petunia couldn't be more happy. His eyes had shown his feeling. He had told her the truth. He really did love her. She was not a replacement.

"Of course not! Why would you ever think this? I am not that sort of person"came a voice from behind startling her.

She spun around

"James! What are you doing here? I am not ready yet"

He smiled.

"I wanted to surprise you. And besides you are dressed, you got the shoes on and your hair is very pretty. What more do you want?"he asked confused.

"Makeup?"

"What?!"he shouted." You are too beautiful for makeup. Why to spoil your face with it. I love you the way you are"he said not realising what he has just said.

Petunia looked at him shocked. This was the first time he had told her that he loved her. And by the looks of it he didn't even realize it.

"What?" he said.

"You...you love me…"

James stiffened. Then deciding that he hadn't been sorted into Gryffindor for nothing and thinking"now or never"

"I…"he started not looking at her"I do love you. I have realized this last September when you had refused to reply to my letters, when I had realized that you meant what you had said that you won't talk to me until it was summer again. When I'd realized how much you mean to me. There is no comparison to Lily. You are perfect just the way you are. You don't need to feel jealous. There is no need for it. I have never felt anything for Lily close enough to what I feel for you. I am in love with you. I had never been in love with her. She was just the infatuation of a child"

Petunia couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't… Then she realized that he was staring at her expectantly.

"Oh,James! I love you too" she exclaimed and taking three steps forward she hugged him.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

They finally were together.
