The Last Night

"Goodnight Harry" said Lily Evans Potter, a muggle born witch and mother of a young boy, "I love you."

Lily and James Potter have now had a son for about 15 months and were very pleased with him. They love Harry with all their hearts and did not want him to leave their sights. However, it was that time of night where Harry went to bed and Lily and James could spend some time together.

"What do you want to do tonight?" Asked James Potter, father of the infant boy.

"I thought we could play quidditch out in the yard as we always do." Lily replied.

"I was hoping you would say that" James said in a murmur so Lily could not hear him. "Where are the brooms again dear?" James asked in a mischievous voice that Lily did not like the sound of.

"In the cupboard under the stairs as always." Lily said sounding a little as though she was scared of what her husband might be up to.

When James got back he was surrounded by Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Rolanda Hooch holding their broomsticks as though to join them in their game of quidditch.

"What the bloody snitch is going in here?" Lily asked surprised at her husband.

"C'mon Lily lighten up. I just brought a few friends to come join us in our game." James said patting Lily on the shoulder.

"FINE. But we have to be quiet while doing so as not to disrupt our son." she added in a serious tone that was aimed directly and James and Sirius.

A short couple of minutes later and they were off and flying. It was James and Sirius vs. Lily and Remus and Rolanda as referee. It was difficult though, because they only had two hoops (one on each side) and a quaffle.

The game lasted about an hour and a half until Lily realized that it was 1:45 in the morning.

"Sorry to disrupt our fabulous game but I think it's time to go to bed." Lily said yawning halfway through her sentence.

"You're probably right, I should head home so I get sleep before teaching summer school to kids who obviously will never fly." Rolanda said as though she rather die than teach.

"Sirius and I better head out too, we have Order stuff we need to do." Lupin said as Sirius stood there looking dumbfounded at his friend and what he had said.

Rolanda left followed by Lupin who was dragging a reluctant Sirius by the collar of his shirt.

"What was that for, we usually stay up until three!" asked James in a threatening voice.

"I thought when you asked what to do you meant by ourselves and not with other people!" Lily said as though about to cry.

"Well this was a special oc-

"What occasion was so special that we couldn't have celebrated this morning? Halloween?" Lily was an inch away from his face.

James stepped back. He had never seen Lily like this before and he was a little frightened. "Lily, let's go inside, get some butterbeer and relax for minute."

They went in and after Lily had drank 3 glasses of butterbeer she said, "James, I'm sorry for screaming at you and-"

"Lily, it's me who should be sorry. I lied about the 'special occasion' and I should have asked before inviting them over. Will you ever forgive me?" James asked truthfully.'

Lily sat there staring at him, at his amazing hazel eyes and messy black hair and replied "Yes. I love you, James."
