The Top Ten

The Potter Family (consisting of Lily, not-yet-born Harry, and James) was cleaning out all of their old school stuff, which had been collecting in boxes since they had left Hogwarts. James was just looking at one of his old "masterpieces" of art, turning it upside down to see if the angle would improve it, when he heard Lily from the other room.
"James?" Lily looked up as he walked into the room.
"Yes Lilikins!" He asked, sitting down next to her.
"What are these?" She held up a sheaf of paper.
"Oh! I almost forgot about those!" He said, taking them from her. "I used to write lists, during Hogwarts."
"Let's read them!" Lily leaned against James as he began reading out loud.
Ever since he could write, James Potter had been making lists. They ranged from the typical Birthday/Christmas present list, to the ever growing Things Never to Do Unless You Want to See Dad Do an Impersonation of a Tomato. The years at Hogwarts were no different.

"Wait, James?"

Lily set the papers down, eyes glinting with tears.
"You do love me!" She said, hugging him tightly.
"You thought I didn't?" James gently brushed hair out of her eyes.
"Well, with all this unpacking, and your work, we haven't had time to talk much." She said, curling up in his arms.
"I love you Lily…" James kissed her stomach. "And Harry too."
Lily hit him on the arm.
"I can't believe you wrote that you liked my bum!"
Getting up, James grumbled.
"Pregnant woman hormones."

I hoped you liked it!
