"I love you Lily, and I always will. No matter what." James whispered tenderly in my ear as he laid sweet kisses down my neck. A moan of pleasure escaped my lips as his mouth met my weak spot, just below my earlobe.

"I love you too James." I moaned in reply, letting his warm hands pull me closer towards him as we stood in the empty corridor.

"I'm so glad you finally agreed to go out with me." He grinned, pulling his lips away from me so that he could look up into my eyes. His hazel gaze made my heart shudder with warmth and wanting.

"James, kiss me…" I ordered quietly, a small grin playing on my lips as I watched him let out a low chuckle.

"I think I'll just tease you for a little while longer…" He joked, but I quickly silenced him by pulling him towards me, lips millimeters apart, aching to touch.

"Who's teasing who?" I smirked, pulling away from him slightly as he began to lean in to kiss me. James Potter let out a low growl before pulling me towards him, capturing my lips as he went and not letting me pull away. My knees fell into a state of weakness as his tongue begged entrance to move past my lips. I grinned before parting my lips for him, letting him pull me as close as he could towards him, his hands wrapping round my slim waist as we kissed each other passionately.

"I love you Lily Evans." He grinned against my lips, stroking my back with a greedy hand.

"I love you too."

I woke up from my nightmare with a scream. "Holy fuck!" I cried out, beads of sweat slipping down my forehead. No way had I just dreamt of Potter. No fucking way…

"I love you Lily Evans."

I shuddered at the words which repeated themselves in my mind, ignoring the slight knot in my stomach.

"Merlin I'm going insane…" I groaned, throwing the thick Gryffindor covers off of me and swinging my legs over the side of the bed. I looked round the girl's dorm room to see if anyone was awake, which no one was. I thought about letting out a high pitched scream to wake everyone up, but decided against it.

There's nothing like being ignored for the rest of the year.

I pulled my hair back into a messy ponytail, not really caring if anyone saw Miss Perfect Lily Evans looking like a tramp. I wiped my tired eyes before walking clumsily over to my suitcase, picking out clean robes to wear for the rest of the day and laying them on my bed.

After a quick shower I dressed and walked into the empty common room. Glancing at a nearby clock I could see that it was only seven in the morning. Usually Jess (one of my two best friends) would be up and revising by now, but there was no sign of her.

"Dreaming of Potter then eh? There's a first." A small voice in the back of my mind commented as I walked over to a bookshelf.

"I was not dreaming of Potter." I replied to it inwardly, just incase someone came in and thought I was delusional.

"So…Him telling you he loved you? You telling him it in reply? That didn't just occur in a dream?" The voice scoffed as I picked a random book on werewolves and sat down to read it.

"Well ok, that bit did happen. But it was just a dream. No need to look into it…no need whatsoever…" I told it confidently, feeling better as I started to forget what the dream had been about in the first place.

"'I love you Lily, and I always will. No matter what.' James whispered tenderly in my ear as he laid sweet kisses down my neck." The voice whispered in my head, sending the dream straight through my mind as it began to replay. I let out a low growl before throwing the book down on a nearby table and standing up.

"It was a dream! A bloody stupid dream!" I told myself, taking a deep breath before standing up and heading for the girl's dorm room once again.

"Hey Lily, why are you up so early?" I heard a familiar voice ask me curiously. I span on the spot, my gaze meeting two sleepy hazel eyes. I bit down on my tongue.

"Just leave me alone Potter." I snapped, walking (or more rather, running) back to the bedroom.

"Someone's in a bad mood." The voice in my head told me, as if it was laughing at my rash actions.

"Shut up."

James

I stood still, wordlessly shocked as Lily ran off to her dorm room. What was wrong with her? And how the hell did she look that good at seven in the morning?

I let out a sigh as I threw myself onto a nearby couch, replaying the dream I had just dreamt with a contented grin.

'A moan of pleasure escaped her lips as my mouth met her weak spot, just below her earlobe.'

I grinned at the thought, but that's all it was, a thought... Never had Lily said yes when I had asked her out. It was rare to get anything but a hex from her (a hex being thrown at me when she's in a good mood that is).

Ah well, she would have to succumb to my advances one day, whether she liked it or not. I wasn't going to give up that easily…I mean, it hadn't been that many years I had been chasing her. I counted the years on my fingers and came up with five in total.

"So basically, you're in your fifth year at Hogwarts and you've loved her since the day she ignored you on the train in first year…Of course that's not sad James…Just slightly desperate." The voice in my head scoffed, probably rolling around in my empty brain laughing wildly. I shrugged inwardly.

"It's not my fault I love her and she doesn't love me back. But that's going to change soon, very soon." I reassured myself, my ego raising a few points as I thought about this.

"What are you going to do? Give her a love potion?" It continued laughing. I paused at this, before shaking my head.

"Don't even think about it James." I warned myself, before shutting my eyes and slowly drifting into sleep as I lay on the soft sofa.

"Tell me how much you love me…" Lily whispered against my lips as I held her tightly against me, kissing her more passionately than I'd ever kissed anyone in my life.

"I love you more than Hogwarts." I whispered to her. She let out a quiet laugh before I silenced her with another knee-weakening kiss.

"I love you more than the moon." I continued, grinning widely as I kissed just below her earlobe, the place which I remembered as her soft spot.

"More than the sun." I added, grinning even wider as she let out a pleasured moan at the sensation in her neck that my lips were causing.

"More than my wand." I joked, being deadly serious at the same time.

"James, how long have you loved me?" Lily queried, before having to take a sharp intake of breath as my lips moved back to her mouth roughly, filled with love.

"Since the first day of school, on the train. As soon as I stepped on and saw you hexing that slimey git Malfoy." I told her, stroking her back with my keen hands, wanting to hold her as close to me as I could.

"Oh James…" She sighed in content, running her hands through my hair and pulling my lips slowly into her own. I opened my eyes as she pulled away from my lips and found that her luscious green eyes were wide and filled with joy.

"I-"

I let out a groan as someone shook my shoulder.

"Fuck off!" I swore at them, desperate to return to the dream that was making my insides twist and knot in pleasure.

"We're going to be late for class mate, so hurry up and come on." Sirius told me, punching my shoulder slightly harder than was needed.

"I don't care, I'm busy dreaming about Lily. Tell Slughorn he can go to hell for me." I replied with a growl, reluctantly opening my eyes to see that Sirius was laughing at me.

"James, you can dream of her later, now come on."
