Happiness

james/lily

James growled in frustration. "I'm going to kill Padfoot. I swear, I'm going to kill him." He took off his glasses and rubbed a hand down his face. "That conversation was private, he was not supposed to tell you about it." He put his glasses back on and looked at Lily, chewing his lip in embarrassment.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Lily giggled. "It was sweet." She sat next to James and faced him, taking his hand in hers.

"Really? You don't find me extremely creepy now?" The Seeker raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend.

"Really." Lily smiled. "I want you to tell me exactly what you said."

James looked to where their hands were joined and ran his other hand through his hair. "Lily, it's-" He looked up when Lily squeezed his hand. "Okay, fine, I just- I need... Give me a minute." He cleared his throat and blinked rapidly, trying to organise his thoughts. "I said that you and I'll spend every Christmas for the rest of our lives together. And we'll have kids, a whole army of them." Lily giggled at this and it made James smile. "And we'll spoil them rotten at Christmas; well, I will and you'll tell me off for it. And we'll meet them at Kings Cross when they're coming home for the holidays. And on Christmas day, when the kids are worn out from the long day and in bed, we'll cuddle up on the sofa with a glass of eggnog and listen to cheesy Christmas tunes and just... Be happy." His lips rose in a half smile as Lily bit her lip. "You make me so happy, Lily."

"As you make me, Mr Potter." Lily grinned at him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
