Tis the Season for Christmas Shopping
"Sirius, I really don't think she'll like this." James complained, holding up a random woman's shirt from the shop. He sighed and put it back on the rack. "Nothing seems special enough!" He exclaimed exasperatedly.
Sirius wandered around, laughing quietly at James. "Mate, I don't think anything you see will be 'special enough'." He said with air quotes, looking through the racks of women's clothing. "Maybe you'd be better to look at makeup, or jewelry." He suggested, looking at James hopefully.
He nodded and ran a hand through his messy hair. "Yeah, let's check out a jewelry store. I hate Christmas shopping..." He grumbled.
A few hours later, he picked out a pair of really nice earrings he decided to enchant so they told her reassuring things in his voice whenever she was feeling down. They walked through the mall to find some things for Harry and the other boys. James was looking at a baby toy and walking through the store when he bumped into a familiar redhead.
"Lily?" He asked incredulously, widening his eyes. He dropped the baby toy, bending to pick it up.
"James! Hey, sorry, I didn't know you would be here... Right now. I thought you and Sirius would be in Diagon Alley?" She asked, hiding something behind her back and blushing deeply.
"Well we did go there, but I wanted to get you something from the muggle world too." He said sheepishly, looking at the prominently labeled bag with the earrings and hiding it behind his back like she was doing, blushing bright red.
She had a glance at the bag and giggled softly. "Did you find something?" She asked with a shy smile.
James chuckled and blushed more. "Maybe. Don't be nosy love." He said a bit nervously, kissing her cheek. He glanced and saw Sirius and Remus who were talking quietly about who knows what.
She smiled and looked down at her hands. "Well. I have to still a few, so I'll see you back at home." She said happily, going on her toes and kissing him gently, sidestepping away, trying to hide James's gift. "Oh and James honey? Make sure the earrings are nickel-free, I'm allergic, remember?" She said with a smirk and a wink.
James sighed and smiled, watching her walk away, Remus following behind her. Sirius came up to him. "All good?" He asked him
James grinned stupidly. "I'm never going to be able to hide anything from that woman."
Hello all! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, if not it's alright, I didn't enjoy it much either and just wasn't in the best place while writing it so it didn't turn out exactly how I'd liked. Anyways... I'm sure all the others will be great. Keep following/favouriting and leaving reviews, I absolutely love seeing them! I hope you all have a lovely Monday.
