Mistletoe

"James can you put this one up there? I can't reach." Lily said, pointing up at a high spot on their huge Christmas tree, holding a small red ornament.

Her husband chuckled and nodded. "Of course love." He said, taking it and putting it where she wanted. It was the day after her whole baking incident, and they were spending their afternoon finally getting around to decorating the tree. James was trying his best to keep her happy, but could still see some sadness in her eyes when she saw something sentimental.

"Alright, so we need to fill that area with some green. It's too red." She observed, looking at one portion of the tree. She moved a plain red ornament and replaced it with a green one, stepping back and admiring her work.

James smiled brightly. The tree was just about done and he had a plan to brighten her mood. He watched as she put one up that said 'Baby's First Christmas', then transfigured two plain silver ones to an everlasting charm. They turned into a doe and a stag. "Where did these come from?" He asked innocently, holding them up and smiling.

She came over and inspected them, her face lighting up with a huge smile. "Did you make these" She asked quietly, looking up at him.

He nodded and smiled sheepishly. "Yeah... I figured we needed something that was more... Us." He told her, kissing her cheek.

She beamed and took them, bringing them to a spot where she could reach, right at the front. She put them up so they were facing each other and stepped back. "I love them." She breathed.

James went over and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Merry Christmas Lily." He whispered, kissing the side of her head. He pulled his wand out from his back pocket and cast another charm, one that him and Sirius had discovered back in fifth year. It was a mistletoe that, when two people were under it, they couldn't leave until they kissed, and not just a peck either.

Lily grinned and turned to him. "Merry Christmas James." She said happily. She tried to take a step away to get the angel to put on top, but was stopped by some sort of magical forcefield. "What the..." She started, then looked up and blushed. "Jamesss..." She whined, smiling sheepishly.

He shrugged and smirked at her. "Wasn't me." He lied, pulling her close again, looking at her eyes and smiling.

She sighed but couldn't help but smile at her annoying, but charming, husband. "You're ridiculous." She whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck and moving closer to him.

"But you love it." He commented, his arms tightening around her waist.

"I suppose I do." Lily said, going on her toes and kissing him, gently at first.

James grinned and kissed her back, a bit eagerly, like he was back in sixth year and pining for her all over again.

She giggled softly into the kiss, deepening it a bit, like when she was in seventh year and realized she was completely, and utterly, in love with the bloke.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, just wrapped up in each others warmth, before James felt the magic of the mistletoe fizz away. "We can stop now, if you'd like." He said softly, his lips brushing on hers.

Lily grinned and looked him in the eyes. "What if I don't want to?" She asked, and kissed him hard again, the only source of light being the lit-up Christmas tree.
