James woke abruptly as his alarm clock started whirring loudly. He groaned and tried to ignore it by pulling the covers back over himself. Untill soon it became pretty near impossible when it started to wallop him over the head.

"Gerroff," he moaned. James reached over for his glasses and pushed them up his nose. His wand had fallen off the bedside table and onto the floor. He felt it roll away from his finger tips and scrambled to find it before he went deaf. He found it quickly enough and silenced his alarm before it woke his wife.

His wife. Would he ever get used to that? That this beautiful, smart, funny girl was all his? Forever? He turned onto his side and stared at her. Her hair was sprawled over the pillow and she was breathing deeply. James began to count the freckles covering her face. He already knew how many there are. Sixty-eight. Or was it sixty-nine? It didn't matter. All that mattered was that he loved her and they had the rest of their lives to spent together.

"Stop staring at me," Lily whispered.

"Well you are something to look at Mrs Potter." Lily giggled. Mrs Potter. That was going to take some getting used to. She couldn't believe that he was hers, forever.

She flipped back the covers and climbed out of bed. She was wearing nothing but one of James shirts but still managed to look like a model. James raised an eyebrow.

"Hmmm..."

"What?"

"That shirt looks much better on you." Lily blushed.

"But you know what," James added devilishly.

"What?"

"I much prefer you without it..."

In only a couple of strides, Lily crossed the room and bounded back into the bed and pulled the covers over their heads...

Later that day, Lily was making a cup of coffee when James padded into the kitchen in bare feet and long jeans. He ran a hand through his already messy hair before coming up behind her and hugging her from behind.

"Morning," James said and kissed her cheek.

"Morning," laughed Lily. "Though it's nearly afternoon you know"

"Really? I was too busy dreaming of an angel to want to get up."

"That is so cheesy Mr Potter." Lily hit him playfully. "But I love your for it."

"What else do you love about me?" asked James. He turned Lily round whilst still having his arms round her.

"Well, we still have a lot of the day left..."

*Doorbell*

James and Lily sigh.

"Come in!" called Lily

"It better be good," grumbled James.

"Alright Prongs mate? I've brought you a late wedding present. Unless you're too busy to care…" Sirius called from the front door.

"If you had come five minutes later we would have been," moaned James

"Sorry mate," said Sirius, not sounding sorry at all. "Just thought I should give you this." Sirius handed over a book that had 'Mabbina's guide to a Marvellous Marriage!' splashed across the cover. The moving picture had a middle aged woman wearing red cat-eye glasses smiling and sipping an expensive cup of coffee. She had blonde hair which had been tightly permed and had an obviously drew on beauty spot just above her scarlet lips. Lily giggled.

"Err... Thanks" Lily stammered. "But I'm sure we will do okay on our own."

"Well, just remember Lily, the best way to win an argument with your husband is to begin removing clothing." Sirius laughed

Lily blushed.

"Well, best be off," Sirius said as he shook James' hand. "And remember," he whispered. "Chunky is a chocolate bar. Never use it as a reference to your wife."

"I heard that."

"Well, lots to do," Sirius said hastily. "And I bet you've got a good idea of how to spend the rest of your day."

And with a wave at Lily and a wink at James, Sirius was gone.
