Discovered Plans
The ring was perfect. Perfect for her, that is. James had been looking for weeks now, but finally, that search was over. Of course, he'd still have to ask her…
"Is that for Lily?"
Sirius' – his best friend – voice surprised him so much he nearly dropped the recently discovered treasure. Treasure that he quickly hid, trying to look inconspicuous.
"What's for Lily?"
"Come on Prongs, everyone knew you're head over heels for that girl! When are you gonna ask her?"
"Ask her what?" His voice came out totally wrong, but he had other problems, like the fact that he was apparently not as discreet as he had thought…
"To marry you of course."
The fact that he fainted from Sirius' tone only would haunt him to the end of times.
