I was writing this with someone on Omegle, and they had to leave, so I continued the story. I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters. Please read and review. And if you happen to be the person I was role playing with, let me know in the comments and I will edit this to give you proper credit. Thank you and please enjoy!
Lily decided to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas. She had been roaming the halls for an hour and was getting cold from just being in her pj's-a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt. She headed back to the common room quietly singing Jingle Bell Rock. She slipped through the door andnlooked at the clock. It was 3am. Christmas! She was too excited to sleep so she sat by the fire and curled ip in a blanket with a book. A sudden squeek of a floorboard behind her made Lily jump.
James was startled by the sudden unexpected movement. He hadn't expected anyone else to be up at this time. However, he relaxed when he saw who was there. "Hey, Lily. Couldn't sleep?"
She let out her breath when she saw it was only James. "Well its Christmas! Of course I can't sleep!" Lily smiled as she talked.
James smiled at the excitement on Lily's face. "So it is," he mused, sitting next to her. "Merry Christmas!" he exclaimed quietly, handing her a gift.
A look of surprise crossed Lily's face when she saw he got her something,"James, you didn't have to get me anything."
James laughed. "I know that, silly. I wanted to."
She smiled and shook her head,"Thanks." She took the preasent and tore off the paper .
James watched silently as Lily opened the gift. Excitement and apprehension gnawed at him as she finished ripping off the paper. He studied Lily's face for a reaction as she stared at the small, intricately carved music box in her hands. "Open it," he urged. "Remus helped me enchant it to play your favorite song."
Her mouth hung open as she struggled to find a response. The box was beautiful. How did James know she's alwayd wanted a music box? "Thank you," she whispered.
James shrugged, embarrassed. "I wanted to give you something special."
Lily threw her arms around his neck and muttered "accio". A sprig of mistletoe appeared above them.
James caught Lily in his arms for a tight hug. He glanced up at the mistletoe and pulled back to look into her eyes. "Merry Christmas, Lily," he whispered, leaning in to capture her lips in a gentle kiss. After a moment, they both pulled back and rested their foreheads together. "I love you," James breathed into the space between them.
Lily smiled. "I love you, too, James."
The next morning, Remus was the first one in the common room. He was greeted by the sight of James and Lily curled up on the couch, cuddling under a blanket, fast asleep. On the floor near them was a small music box he had never see before. Shrugging it off, Remus smiled and resolved to keep Sirius away from the couple until they had woken up.
Sorry if it wasn't great, but please let me know your honest opinions on it. And let me know if you are the person I was writing with; I want to give you the credit you deserve.
