'Voldermort is getting more powerful by the day!' complained Amos Diggory as Lily took care of a wound he had received from a death eater in a battle when they had attacked diagon ally only last night. Diggory had been his with a slashing curse that left the wound open and repelled all closing spells. Lily had been working tirelessly all night and now it was afternoon. James had been uninjured but still came down to see her that morning and he had stayed with her. She had been working as a healer for last two years, since she and James had graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at St. Mungo's. Lily was now Mrs Lily Potter. She and James had been married for the last 6 months.
'Last night was almost like the attack on the muggles last year. So many people died!' he missed Lily's sniff. 'I think it was reported that your parents lost their lives in that attack, poor souls.' James was clenching his fist around his wand inside his robes. 'They were your parents weren't they Mrs Potter?'
One more word, thought James, and he is really going to get it!
'Yes they were, Mr Diggory.' He voice shook and she let out a crock. Unable to cope, she left the bandage she was tying and ran out of the ward. James was really trying to control his anger.
'You inconsiderate scum!' he shouted at Mr Diggory. As he ran out after his wife, out of the corner of his eye he saw Alice, Lily's friend come over to Diggory and finish tying his bandage. Diggory was muttering furiously at James. 'Its not like I meant to upset her!' and 'Ruddy boy, doesn't understand a thing.'
'Lily!' James was panting after her. He caught her arm and turned her to face him.
'Lily, sweetheart, what's wrong? Why did you let him get to you?' Tears were streaming down her face uncontrollably as she tried to stifle her sobs. She had run out from the room in St. Mungo's.
'I, I'm sorry! I really am,' she sobbed. James put his arms around her holding her tight to him.
'Don't be sorry, you didn't do anything.' He was whispering soothingly into her ear, trying to calm her down. ' It was that idiots fault for mentioning it.' He stroked her red locks quietly. Lily slowly pulled back.
'I'm fine really. It was just remembering my parents death after all this time brought back stuff I hoped to forget.' She smiled at him, her eyes shinning with tears. James pulled her forehead towards his own.
'How about I take you out to dinner tonight? Just the two of us? We can forget all about that stupid Amos Diggory and his big mouth.'
Lily giggled. 'Shhh, he might hear you.'
'Ahh let him hear for all I care! If I didn't know it'd upset you, I would've taken him down long time ago!' His heart danced as he saw her smile. 'So are we on tonight?'
'Yes we are, as long as I can go home first and get some sleep.' Lily grinned at him.
'Alice,' James called, 'can you cover for Lily today?' Her saw Alice grin at him a nod. She came over.
'Lily, you go home and rest. I can handle it today. And you've been here all night, I just got here.'
'Are you sure you don't mind Alice?' Lily asked, her eyes lighting up at the prospect of sleeping.
'Yeah, Lily go. I don't mine one bit!'
Lily beamed.

'Lily darling,' James whispered in Lily's ear.
'Umm?' she murmured.
'Dinner love. You have to get ready.' James started tickling her playfully. Giggling, she pushed him off. 'Careful James!' He was threatening to push her off their bed.
'So where are we going tonight?' Lily asked as she opened her closet trying to pick out the right outfit. James was propped up on the bed.
'We are going to the place that we first went to, on our first date ever.' He smiled as Lily walked over to him and pulled him up. She hugged him tight.
'That's just as well because I have some very important news to tell you,' she whispered in his ear.
'What news?' James pulled back and looked into her eyes. She went ack to her wardrobe and said. 'Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies.'
James put on his puppy face,' Pretty Please with a cherry on top?'
'Not now Potter. You'll find out soon though!'
Taking this as his cue to he got up as picked her up, making her dangle upside down on his back.
'James! Let me down!' she laughed and pounding his back with her fists.
'No! I refuse. I decline until you tell me what the news is!'
'I'm not going to tell you Potter so get over it!' she couldn't help but giggle.
'Evans.' He said in a mock warning tone remembering their school days.
'Forget it Potter!' He let her down.
'So what shall I wear?' he asked like a kid.
'I know! Wear that outfit that I got you last week from the Muggle shops!' James frowned. 'Which one?'
'The Grey jeans with the white t-shirt and the black jacket.' She pulled them out of his wardrobe, throwing them on the bed. She pulled out a flashy black top and black jeans.

Lily and James walked through the Indian restaurant, Kahn.
'A table of two is reserved under the name of Potter,' James told the reception. A waiter came and led them to their seats that were located near a water fountain.
'Can I know what the important news that you had to tell me was?' James asked as the waiter bustled away with their orders.
'Okay. James, I think we're going to have to convert the spare room in to a play room.' James gave her a confused look. Then as she smiled his brain clicked.
'You mean you're...?' his voice cut off. Lily nodded and beamed.
'I'm pregnant!' James gapped at her clearly in shock. Then his features cleared into a enormous grin.
'We're going be parents!' he exclaimed. He took hold off her hands and brought them up to his lips and kissed them. 'I love you.' He whispered against her fingers.
'I love you too,' she said. And then they just sat there gazing into each others eyes, holding hands.
'Lily do you remember how I got you to go out with me?' James asked after a while.
'I don't think I'll ever forget those two weeks '
'Do you remember everything?'
'Yeah. I remember how I was walking down to breakfast on the first day of the Christmas holidays, then I realised that we were the only seventh years staying at Hogworts for Christmas.' She laughed remembering her reaction to this fact.
So they sat and remembered. They remembered things from three years ago, when they were seventeen. The memories…
