Heaven and Hell

James looked at Lily. Lily looked at James. Their hands were intertwined as they walked toward their new home. He thought she looked heavenly with the sun reflecting in her hair, making her seem fiery and all the more angelic for it. She thought he looked devilishly handsome with his mischievous and sparkling brown eyes.

They were just like Heaven and Hell, drawn to each other by an attraction they couldn't explain and so alike yet terribly different that it was no surprise they ended up together. Everyone had been able to see that the fire Lily used to push James off wasn't burning anyone, just as they had been able to see that James flirting grins had only been sincere for a certain emerald eyed witch.

"Is this it?"

"Yep. I know it's not much, but I thought you'd like it so…"

Lily smiled. "It's perfect."

"You think so?"

"Of course, my dear husband."

"Is that a yes I hear in your voice, Miss Evans?"

"Mmh… I think you should call me Mrs. Potter from now on, my dear Mr. Evans."

"You know what this means right?"

"No, but I have a feeling I'll learn it very soon."

"Yep! It means I have to carry you over the threshold."

"Then what are you waiting for my good sir?"

"Nothing, my Lady, nothing."

Once upon a time, a wizard and a witch fell in love. People could call them demon, angels or whatever they wanted, he was James and she was Lily. It was more than enough.
