A/N: This song was giving me a little trouble, so this one's about twice as long as most will be because I needed to set the scene for this to really make sense. I hope you enjoy it! :) Also, I'm not trying to beg for reviews, but I really would like to know if you guys like what I'm doing here. Thanks!

From Me To You

James and I sat in the astronomy tower late one night, just watching the stars. It was quite peaceful. As far as three-month anniversaries go, this one had been wonderful.

James had convinced the house elves in the kitchen to fix us a picnic basket full of sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, two bottles of Butterbeer, and my absolute favorite dessert, treacle tart. He had led me up to the astronomy tower under his invisibility cloak that night, and when we arrived, it was already filled with candles, a picnic blanket, and the basket. I especially appreciated the food since we had skipped dinner trying to finalize the patrol schedule for the prefects.

Somehow it had gotten all messed up with the Slytherin prefects patrolling twice as much as anyone else. I blamed Sirius, but James claimed that he had no idea whose fault it was. Either way, we had to have the schedule ready in time for the meeting after dinner, and if I hadn't double-checked it, we would have had an even bigger mess on our hands. By the time we fixed it, dinner was over, and the meeting was due to start in five minutes. James and I rushed to McGonagall's classroom where we were holding the meeting and made it just in time. I'm sure people assumed we had been, ehem, otherwise occupied, but thankfully no one commented.

Once it was over, James pulled me close and draped his invisibility cloak, which I had not seen him take out, over the two of us.

"C'mon Lils, I've got a surprise for you," he told me before grabbing my hand and leading me to the astronomy tower.

"Okay," I replied curiously. I had kind of forgotten that today was three months with all the stress and busyness of the week, so I had no clue what James was up to.

Right before we made it to the top of the stairs, he instructed me to close my eyes and not peek. I obeyed, and he carefully guided me up the last few stairs before pulling the cloak off the two of us.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now," he whispered, and that's when I saw the picnic and candles.

"Oh James," I whispered back in awe.

"Happy three months," he replied with a grin before leading me to the picnic blanket.

After we finished eating, we moved over to the edge of the tower to look at the stars, which is where we were now. James's arm was wrapped around me and my head was resting on his shoulder. After a long stressful day and an even longer, more stressful week, this was perfect.

James turned his head and planted a kiss on my hair before whispering, "I love you Lily," against my scalp.

This was the first time either of us had said those three words in any serious context, and hearing him say them made my heart flutter.

"I love you too James," I replied with a smile, twisting my body so I could hug him. And I did love him. So much. He had gone from an annoying slightly pompous boy to my best friend and now boyfriend. I couldn't imagine not having him around.

"Really Lils, I mean it," he said. "You know that I'd do anything for you, right? Whatever you need, don't ever hesitate to ask me. Whether it's cheering you up with a corny joke, a nice relaxing dinner after a stressful week, or just a kiss," James told me, punctuating with an actual kiss, "I'm always here."

"I know James. I love you too, and I hope that you realise that the same goes for you."

He smiled that smile of his I love so much and pulled me in for another kiss under the stars.
