Dashing down the hall, running through the corridors, sliding into Professor Slughorn's door first year, late for the first time because that idiot James Potter charmed her alarm clock into going off 30 minutes after it was supposed to. Taking her seat, she looks behind her. Potter says:
"Its about time, Lilyflower."
Coming back from the lake after crying her eyes out over losing her best friend, Severus. Whispering the password solemnly to the Fat Lady. Walking into the common room, only the Marauders in sight. Hearing that she's ditched Snivellus as a friend. Potter says:
"Its about time, Lilyflower."
Warming by the fire after she was caught out on the grounds in a snowstorm. Handing her a butterbeer and draping a blanket over her shoulders. Daring to ask her one more time. Accepting an invitation to Hogsmeade after years of saying no. Potter says:
"Its about time, Lilyflower."
Dreams coming true. Staring into hazel eyes as she promises the rest of her life to him. Joining hands. Families crying happy tears. Sliding the veil back to kiss his bride, Potter says:
"Its about time, Lilyflower."
Pain, screaming, the want to hex his… thing off. Hours of labor. A baby cries. She passes out. Opening her eyes, he's there, holding a black haired, green eyed baby. She smiles at him, and suddenly doesn't want to hex his thing off yet. He hands her the baby and strokes her hair. Potter says:
"Its about time, Lilyflower."
Floating, falling, her soul split from her body. Saving Harry. Bright white lights. An outline of a man, smiling at her. Feeling complete. No longer apart. Together forever. James says:
"Its about time, Lilyflower."
