A/N: I was going to write about an argument Lily and James had in their younger years at Hogwarts when they where 'arch-enemies' according to Lily. But this idea popped into my head and wouldn't let me write anything different. It's short and fluffy and doesn't fit perfectly to the theme but works well enough. Enjoy :)

She can wound with her eyes

"James! You promised!" Lily pouted her eyes, wide and sad, looked up at the man in question.

"I said one day, not today, Lily, you know that." James answered firmly, determined not to be swayed by how adorable she currently looked.

"But-" Lily started before being cut off by James' tug on her arm, pulling her away from the post office message board.

"No, Lily." James sighed tucking her under his arm to soften the blow.

"You promised me one!" Lily whined pulling away from James, arms crossed bottom lip out in full force. Her eyes, however, had taken up a new tactic and now glared daggers at her husband. "You're never going to let me have one are you?!"

James winced, those eyes meant business, coupled with that tone of voice, not a good sign, He wasn't sure he was going to be able to get out of this one alive. "Lily, we've talked about this, Button. We haven't even finished unpacking all the boxes, this really isn't the time to be adding a new member to our family. We just got rid of Sirius and Remus!" James reasoned, though why he bothered he wasn't sure.

"Don't give me pet-names, James you promised. Plus kittens love boxes!" Lily replied stepping back toward James to place her hands on his chest. "Can we just go and look at them? Just for a little while?" She asked staring up at him and rising slightly on her toes, she ever so lightly brushed her lips against his, her eyes never leaving his.

"Fine!" James declared his resolve completely cracked, "but we are only looking! Lily Potter we are NOT buying a kitten today!"

With that they were off, Lily gave James one very quick kiss before dragging him off to Mrs Elsbury house, whose cat had recently had a litter of 6 kittens. Lily grinned the whole way down the street.

"You already memorised the address?!" James cried in despair, "we were only looking for a couple of seconds!" Lily's only reply was a delightful laugh which made James roll his eyes. Finally, resigning himself to his fate, he stopped dragging his feet and flung his arms over Lily's shoulders while they walked.

2 hours later they exited the Elsbury house carry the box that contained the newest family member, Caractacus Potter.

Lily had chosen the scruffiest looking kitten of the bunch declaring that she was rather found of the scruffy ones, while glancing cheekily at James. He also happened to be the most cuddly and had spent the whole visit cradled in Lily's lap.

June Elsbury deemed it love at first sight, and James agreed "I think it's her neatness that attracts us."

Caractacus was a black and white kitten named, of course, after the father in the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang which was one of Lily's favourites as a child, another very scruffy sort of character. It also so happened that Potts and Potter sounded rather similar and therefore was almost perfect.

It hadn't taken much to convince James to agree buy Caractacus, he had assumed this was going to happened almost from the start and therefore had had a long enough time to comes to terms with the situation.

"Thank you," Lily whispered to James as the lay in bed that evening still surrounded by boxes that they hadn't got around to unpacking. Due to spending the day playing with the kitten, while James went out and bought some cat food and a bowl, to last them until they could properly go and buy cat supplies.

James sighed, "well I did promise, this very annoying ginger that I would buy her kitten when we got a proper house."

"I'm your very annoying ginger," Lily replied her head resting on his chest, her finger lightly poking him in the ribs for emphasis.

"Quite right." James whispered before capturing his very annoying, very beautiful and persuasive wife's lips with his own. That is until a very fluffy head butted in, rubbing itself against the couples faces.

"Seems you've got competition," Lily giggled stroking the little kitten as he snuggled down in-between them taking up more of the bed than made sense for his tiny body, "My scruffy boys."

James couldn't stop the grin as he placed another kiss on Lily's lips, "Goodnight my love" he whispered turning the bedside light off with a flick of his wand.

It was not long until all three of them where fast asleep, or was it four?
