Disclaimer: once again, I don't own Harry Potter.

I have homework, but I'm doing this for jily week on tumblr since this fic coincides with today's prompt: children.

"Yeah!" I beamed, running out of the room and flying in a few minutes later. "C'mon, Lily." I held out my hand.

"Oh... I don't know, James..." Lily said unsurely, backing away. "I'm a bit scared of heights..."

"Come on, it'll be fun!" I grinned at her, wiggling my eyebrows. "You'll love it!"

I watched Lily take a deep breath and her mum encourage her as she reached for my hand. "I won't let you fall." I reassured, pulling her on in front of me so I could hold onto her—I'd seen my dad do it with my mum countless times.

"Can we go slow?" Lily asked shakily.

"Sure." I nodded, even though I wanted to show her how fast I could go on a broom. "You'll love flying!" I grinned, pushing my glasses up on nose before shooting off.

"We usually don't let James fly in the house." I heard mum tell Lily's mum as she flicked her wand to repair a vase I dropped.

"She tries to hold back my awesomeness." I told Lily, flying out of the room. "Hey, Elvan!" I said to our house elf as I flew outside to the garden.

Elvan replied with a smile and clapped for me like he always did when I flew. He was like my biggest fan. It was completely awesome.

"What was that?" Lily asked as we flew outside and I landed so we could sit on a bench and Lily could admire the flowers.

"A house elf." I said confusedly. "Don't you have one? We have two, Elvan and Millie. They're married. Mum likes to give them days off, even though they hate it!" I laughed.

Lily shook her head. "Never seen one before. Are they part of the magical world?" She asked me, looking around the garden in awe. We had pretty much every flower you could think of. Mum loved to garden, it was her favorite hobby when she had off from work.

"Yeah! I forgot you were muggleborn." I nodded, boredly blowing hair out of my eyes.

"It's been twelve minutes since your mummy was explaining magic to me and my mummy, James." She giggled. Before I could argue that flying made me forget, she continued. "Your garden is lovely."

"Thanks, I guess." I shrugged, watching her walk around the garden. "It's my mum's. She loves to do gardening. What's your favorite flower?"

"A lily!" She laughed. "It seems like it should be my favorite flower, don't you think?"

"Lily is my favorite flower too." I smiled, looking at her.

Lily giggled and blushed slightly, kissing my cheek and skipping back inside.

I gave her the grand tour, teaching her everything about magic I knew. "And my dad said Hogwarts is really cool! We'll both be Gryffindors, I just know it!" I grinned at her.

"Griffin-whats?" Lily looked at me oddly again.

I went into full detail of the four houses, telling her Gryffindor was the best. Before I knew it, Lily's mum said it was time for her to go. I sighed and walked her out, opening her car door for her and helping her into it. Speaking of cars, they were weird. I didn't really see the point of a big moving thing that couldn't even fly.

Lily waved goodbye to me through her window and I sighed, waving back.

"You really like her, don't you?" My mum asked, lifting me up and carrying me inside once they were out of sight.

"Yeah." I nodded seriously. "She's the most beautifulest girl I've ever seen!" I threw my hands up in a wide gesture.

My mum chuckled and kissed my cheek, I made a face and wiped it off when she wasn't looking. "That's sweet, Jamie."

"I think it's love." I said as she set me down on the couch. Even though I was four and didn't have a clue what love was, I knew I wanted love with Lily Evans.

"So it's serious then?" My mum asked me, positively beaming.

"Yeah." I nodded. "Can I pick some lilies for her? They're her favorite flower."

"Of course, dear." My mum smiled, walking me outside to help.

"I'm going to marry her one day." I said surely. "And we'll have a son named Elvendork!"

"You have a few years to worry about that." My mum laughed. "And you should probably think of some back up names."

"What's wrong with Elvendork?" I asked seriously as we picked lilies for Lily.

The next day I walked into preschool with more confidence than normal. I pushed my glasses up on my nose and ran a hand through my messy hair—messy hair is cool—and walked up to Lily, presenting the flowers to her. "For you." I grinned.

Lily beamed and took the flowers, giving me a huge hug. "Thanks, James! I love them!"

"It was no problem." I grinned as she pulled away. "Lovely lilies for a lovely Lily."

Lily giggled and blushed, putting the flowers in her cubby.

"Lily?" I asked, shoving a hand in my pocket and pulling out a plastic ring I got off of a cupcake. It had superman on it, and I thought it was really important. "Will you marry me?" I got down on one knee like my dad told me.

"I'd love to!" Lily laughed happily, presenting her hand to me. I beamed and slid it onto her pointer finger. "We have to tell Sirius."

"YOU'RE ENGAGED?!" Sirius threw his hands up after we presented the amazing news. Remus was chuckling to himself for unknown reasons and Peter looked quite happy for us.

"Yeah!" I grinned, holding Lily's hand. "Isn't this great?"

"I thought we were going to move in together when we graduated and be super awesome bachelors!" Sirius sighed dramatically. "What have you done?!"

I raised an eyebrow, completely unaware of this. "Lily can live with us!" I grinned, not understanding why my best mate wasn't happy for me.

Author's Note: how cute. Siriusly, who could resist baby OTP engagements? Obviously they're not really engaged. But it's still cute. I hope you liked this chapter! I have a few more ideas for later chapters, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to post them. Reviews please!?
