A/N hi! This is a simple James/Lily story, how I think James would have proposed.

James POV

I nervously walked towards the lake, clutching the carefully chosen ring in my hand.

It was a diamond, with two pearls on either side of it, set in gold.

It had been passed down for generations, and was a precious family heirloom.

"What if she says no?" was the only thought in my head.

I had carefully chosen this moment to propose to Lily, and had arranged for a show of fireworks to go off only if she said yes.

Sirius and Lupin were waiting for my signal to set them off.

As I reached the lake, I saw Lily waiting for me.

I took a deep breath and steadied myself." This is it"

A/N, Ok I know this is a bad cliffhanger, and sorry if it's too short, but still, I just thought of it, so I'll edit it later.

Review!
