It was Christmas eve when James Potter realised that it could actually be a possibility that he was in love with Summer Heathe, his best friend.

Yeah, he knew he'd always found her funny and attractive and wonderful. But it has only just hit him that actually she made him get butterflies and have indecent thoughts and goddammit she was beautiful.

So sitting on the sofa watching her play with Jane, Teddy and Victoire's little girl, he had the sudden desire to grab her hand and pull her under the mistletoe.

She caught him looking at her and looked up.

'Yes?' she asked, the lights on the tree behind her making her hair glow wonderfully.

James smiled sheepishly. 'Nothing.'

Summer nodded slowly and went back to playing with Jane.

'Actually, something.'

Summer raised her head again.

James looked up Jane and said 'Can I just borrow her for one minute?' pointing to Summer.

Jane looked up at him blankly.

'I think that's a yes.' Summer suggested.

James smiled, got up for the sofa and took Summer's hand, pulling her up too.

'James, where are we going?' she asked. Her question was answered as they stopped in the doorway, right under the mistletoe.

She looked up and a small 'Oh.' escaped from her mouth and then James' lips were on hers and he tasted of gingerbread and magic. They were both smiling has they pulled away.

'That took you long enough.' Summer said, kissing him again.
