Lily's smile was not because something was funny or because she saw something silly, it was in fact because she was happy. She had always heard stories of 'the perfect moment' during a first kiss or after a baby is born, but she never believed in them, until now. For once she wasn't worrying about how she looked, grades, her sister, the wizarding war, or head duties. She just snuggled closer to her four month boyfriend. Her perfectly, loosely curled auburn hair fell carelessly over her shoulder and her boyfriends arm, her emerald green eyes looked up at the stars, and her freckled skin glowed from the almost full moon. As she laid there not caring for the first time in many years her boyfriend stared at her just as happily.
Sure James had never had a steady relationship and sure he had tried to get Lily since he was fifteen, but it all seemed a little dream like. He felt happy and care free when he was with her, not that he didn't usually, but when they weren't together he missed her even if they were together five minutes ago. James brought the hand that wasn't wrapped around Lily to his hair running it through his already messy jet-black hair. He looked at her thinking hard about what he was about to do. His hazel eyes framed by the circular black glasses a little confused. He took a deep breath getting the courage he needed.
'Lils, I-I um… I,' He stumbled. She glanced up at him looking amused. 'I-I love you, Lils.' He said hurriedly.
Lily propped herself up on her arm, eyes wide. I am an idiot! I am an idiot! I am a complete and utter idiot! He thought knowing she wouldn't say it back.
Than Lily smiled slowly at first before it lit up her face. 'I love you too.' I am an idi- WAIT! I am a genius! I am a genius!
James's eyes were wide with disbelief. 'You're joking!'
Lily laughed. 'No James, I'm not joking.'
He grinned back not knowing what to do next. 'Um, what do I do now?' He whisper-hissed.
'You kiss me you, dolt!' She laughed.
'Oh, right.' And he did, knowing that it couldn't get much better than this.
