The Flower, the Snake, and the Stag
Chapter 8
Lily woke up the next day and immediately began to plan. They would have the wedding reception there, at Potter manor; there was no point in having a ball room if no one ever used it.
James was thrilled, his soon to be wife was having a grand time planning with her brides' maids, Alice and Marie, she'd also asked Petunia who had impolitely declined. Not that anyone expected or wanted her to accept.
And they were going to use the ballroom; the last time his parents had held a ball here he'd been to much a coward to ask Lily to come.
"When should we get married James?" Lily asked on night. "We need to set a date soon you know."
"I know Lils, how about on your birthday; I can't possibly forget either of them if they're on the same day."
Lily laughed, lord he loved her laugh.
"All right then January 30th it is. But James I've been meaning to ask you something else too…"
James raised an eyebrow
"Well I know it's difficult and not everyone can do it but I want to learn to be an animagus. I was wondering is you could help me James" she finished quietly.
James was stunned Lily needed his help, and wouldn't an animal be the best disguise she could have?
"Why?" he asked, "Why do you want to do this?"
"It's embarrassing…. Well because your patronus is a stag and so are you, Sirius' patronus is a dog and so is he. Well mine is a doe, I was hoping if I could do it I would be a doe too and… well… does and stags go together don't they? That and I could help Remus when you two are busy"
James didn't know what to say. Lily knew the difficulties and the possibility of failure but she wanted to do this for him, to be closer to him and to help out one of his best friends.
"God, Lily Evans do you know how much I love you?"
"I'll be Lily Potter soon. Then you can show me every night just how much you love me, Lily Anne Potter." She mused.
"I like the sound of that." James said
"Sirius will have to stop calling me Evans then." She said smirking slightly. "So you'll help me?"
"Of coarse, if we could do it you ca, I'll get Sirius to help too if you'd like."
"I'd love that James, thank-you so much!" Lily kissed him and ruffled his hair before going back to her wedding plans.
