Lily's POV – Late September 1979
I sat at the kitchen table humming softly to myself, it was quite late at night and it was dark outside. I knew the song, I hadn't heard it in nearly a year. It had been the song that James and I had danced to when we got married. Three days until my one year wedding anniversary. I smiled to myself at this thought. I couldn't believe that I'd been married for a year. I flipped through the books on antidotes to potions gone awry but then gave up after five minutes. I couldn't think of anyone but James right now. He'd been away doing things for the order instead of spending his holiday with me. He had a week of holiday after getting his assessment results. He had passed the next stage of his assessment and he was now allowed to go on raids without his mentors around.
I leaned back in the chair and stretched my arms. My stomach gave a protesting pang of pain as I did. James and I had been attacked again in London last week. We very nearly got killed, we were closer to death then we had ever been. We only managed to escape when Dumbledore appeared and scared off Voldemort. I had been hurt quite badly in the stomach but it felt alright. James had managed to get away without any injuries. I'd been working non-stop for a few days now. I had passed my assessment as well but unlike the Aurors, Healers couldn't really afford to have any breaks. I sighed and closed my book when I felt a pair of hands close over my eyes and everything went dark.
"Guess who?" a soft and comforting voice whispered into my ear. I smiled and put a finger to my mouth.
"Sirius?" I asked. James moved his hands away and pulled me up and into his arms.
"Sirius?" He asked me, "what have you been up to with y best friend while I've been away?" He asked cheekily.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." I said as I closed my eyes and kissed him. James gave a slight moan and pulled me closer.
"I love you so much." He said quietly against my lips. I smiled and gently touched my lips against his before pulling away slightly.
"It's our anniversary soon." I said to him. I hooked my hands around his neck and gave him a smile.
"I know." James said.
"Are you going to do anything about it?" I asked him expectantly. He grinned and let go of me quickly and disappeared from the room. I frowned slightly and followed him out slightly intrigued. I walked into the bedroom and saw his legs sticking out from under the bed.
"What are you doing?" I asked, quite bemused.
"I needed to hide it somewhere you wouldn't look." Came his muffled reply.
"Right." I said. I went to the dressing table and quickly checked my hair. Still long and straight. Normally it was curly but I had grown bored of the curliness and decided that I wanted it straight and after four hours of April and myself waging war against my hair it was straight. To my disappointment James still hadn't noticed it. I heard James struggle slightly and I turned to see him emerging from under the bed with a small box. He stood up and dusted himself off.
"What's that?" I asked him as I sat on the bed. James sat next to me and handed me the box. I opened it curiously and inside was a small envelope. I looked at him curiously. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and put an arm around me. I picked up the envelope and opened it. Inside were two tickets for a cruise to the Caribbean and back. The CARIBBEAN! I had literally just acknowledged it. My mouth fell open in slight shock as I looked at the tickets. James put a hand under my chin and moved my face to look at him.
"Like it?" He asked. I looked at him.
"We're going to the Caribbean?" I asked him. He nodded and gave me a kiss. "My god James, how did you afford this?" I asked him.
"Well it's a Wizarding cruise." He said, "And as you know, we do have quite a lot of money."
"Yes but-"
"Fine." James said taking the tickets. "If you don't like it."
"No. James it's wonderful." I said. James turned to give me a grin. He put the tickets down on the bedside table and pulled me towards him. I couldn't believe James. He was the strangest yet sweetest person I knew. I loved him so much, I couldn't believe that he was taking me on a cruise.
"I sent an Owl to St. Mungos, they said you could have some leave." James said. "The cruise is two weeks long and they've given you three weeks leave starting from Tomorrow. So we're going to go and visit your parents on the way to Portsmouth." James said. I looked at him strangely.
"Why are we visiting mum and dad?" I asked him.
"I haven't seen them in a while and they miss me." James said. I hit him lightly. "Ok, they may miss you a bit."
"Are you trying to get on my bad side?" I asked him cheekily.
"Will it mean that we sleep with each other tonight?" James asked with a smile. I gave him a thoughtful look. James really wasn't the guy that I had hated at school anymore. Even though we were married he still made sure that I wanted to sleep with him before we actually did. It got a bit annoying sometimes though. I pressed my lips against James' lips and he lay down on the bed, pulling me after him. I lay on James, letting my hands go under his robes and letting his hands go to my jean zip. James rolled me over and lay on top of me slightly as he pulled my trousers off. We kept the kiss going, I'm not entirely sure how but we'd gotten quite good at undressing each other while kissing. Soon we were both missing our over garments and were both wearing our underwear. The duvet was half covering us and I could feel various parts of James' body stiffen. I pulled away for some air and James kissed my neck. His hands exploring my body. I think he knew my body almost better then his now but it still didn't stop him. I pulled him closer and let my hands travel to his boxers.
"Hem, hem" someone coughed from the door. James and I stopped kissing each other and James turned and looked at the door. I propped myself on my elbows. Any sexual urges I just had running through my body disappeared as we were disturbed. Sirius was standing at the door grinning like an idiot and April looking at us curiously.
"Why did you disturb them?" Sirius asked. "We could have watched free p-"
"Finish that sentence and I will dump you Sirius." April said sharply. Sirius shut up promptly.
"What are you doing here?" James asked sitting up.
"Sorry we disturbed you but we have an order meeting." April said. I let out a soft moan and watched as James got out of the bed.
"But it's past midnight!" James said looking at the clock. I sat up and ran a hand through my hair.
"I know but Dumbledore says it's urgent." April said. She sounded slightly sorry. I glanced up for a moment and caught Sirius staring at me. Not my face but slightly further south, even though I did still have my bra on.
"Move your gaze Sirius." I said to him as I pulled the duvet up to cover myself. He didn't seem to hear for a couple of seconds. He snapped to attention and looked away. April looked at him slightly annoyed.
"You eyeing my best friend now?" She asked him.
"No, it's just a habit of mine that's really hard to stop." Sirius mumbled. James shook his head and pulled on some different clothes. I slipped out of bed and pulled on the jeans that James had taken off me earlier.
"I'm really sorry." April said again.
"It's fine." I said tiredly. You know, it's just typical. I swear mine and James' relationship is cursed. Why do Sirius and April seem to walk in on us or an Order meeting comes up when we want to have sex or our jobs just keep us apart most of the time. April came and gave me a hug.
"It's fine, honestly." I said as I picked up a top.
"But I feel so bad." April said.
"Don't worry about it." James said, "In about a week you won't have to worry about disturbing us for another two weeks." I smiled at this reminder of our holiday.
"Why, what's happening?" Sirius asked.
"We're going away for a few weeks." I said, "James got us tickets on a cruise." April's eyes widened.
"How?" April asked.
"I bought them." James said like it was obvious. April threw a pillow at him and put her arm through mine.
"You're so lucky. Sirius never takes me anywhere." April said.
"I do!" Sirius said.
"Give me an example." April asked.
"I took you to France last week." Sirius said.
"To see a quidditch match!" April said.
"Yeah, that's still taking you out." Sirius retorted. April's eyes narrowed.
"Come on, lets go." I said to stop April from saying something stupid. April nodded and apparated away. I turned to James and he took his invisibility cloak out of the wardrobe and put a hand into the cloak and pulled out a piece of well used parchment.
"Ready." He said. I nodded and apparated to April's side in Hogsmeade. We were at the Shrieking shack looking out over Hogsmeade.
"Lily, do you think I should dump Sirius?" April asked me suddenly. I looked at her slightly surprised, no slightly is an understatement, I was very surprised.
"Why?" I asked her. They were so great together, I could see them getting married in the end if they wanted to. April sat on the grass and shrugged.
"I don't know. He just seems to be a different. I've noticed him looking at girls a lot more recently and all he wants to do is sleep with me. I want something more then that." April said. I sat down next to her. Hoping that the boys didn't come too quickly
"Isn't that why you liked him?" I asked her. That had been the reason she'd given me a few months ago.
"Yeah, it was the reason I liked him." April said, putting some emphasis on the word 'was' and she picked at a piece of grass. I looked at April. Her face was hidden slightly by her hair. "I do still like him, I love him a lot but I want something more. Not just sex and risqué things. I want a proper relationship." April said
"You have a proper relationship" I said. I understood what April meant though.
"You know, one where I can just get into a bed next to the person I love and not end up actually doing anything with him but sleep." April said. I felt slightly uneasy at this and sighed. "Sirius hasn't really matured much since Hogwarts." April said. She smiled slightly as she looked up. I looked up as well and in the distance we could just see a few golden dots that marked out the castle that had been our home and school for seven years. There were two cracks and James and Sirius appeared. They both smiled at us.
"Ready?" James asked. We had to go into the Shrieking shack and through the tunnel that led under the grounds and came up by the whomping willow. I nodded and held my arms out. James came forwards and lifted me to my feet.
"Isn't Remus in there?" April asked, getting to her own feet.
"Yeah but he won't hurt us. He's had his potion." Sirius said. He pushed open a rotting door with some difficulty and we walked in. Sirius had turned into Padfoot and ran off. April looked at me and I shrugged at her. I knew she was trying to prove her point that maybe Sirius was growing bored of her. James closed the door and sealed it shut with Magic.
"Come on." He said. This was the third time we'd be travelling through the passageway. He took hold of my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. Last time I had had a run in with Moony I had ended up in the hospital wing at Hogwarts for a good three days, or something like that. We went to a room where there was a trap door on the floor. James bent over and lifted it up. April helped him and they dropped it on the floor just as there was a thud from above. I looked up slightly alarmed and put a hand on James' shoulder.
"Don't worry." He said. "Girls first." He said moving aside. April dropped down into the passageway first then I did.
"I told you, he didn't even help me up." April whispered to me as I landed.
"It doesn't mean anything." I said back, just as quietly. "But you should do what you want. I'm not going to tell you want to do, I don't want to be the one responsible for you and Sirius-" A large dog jumped into the passageway and transformed into Sirius.
"Responsible for me and April doing what?" He asked curiously as James come down as well.
"Nothing." I said. "April, we'll talk a bit later." April nodded and headed up towards the dark end of the tunnel.
"Lumos." She said once she was a few meters away. I sighed and followed after her. It took us a few minutes to get to the entrance. James peered out of the passage and carefully sent a small stone at the knot in the trunk. The tree froze moments before a branch hit James in the face. He let out a sigh of relief and climbed the rest of the way out of the tunnel. He helped April out of the passage then he pulled me through.
"We have to come a different way of getting here." I told him.
"Well at least I wasn't hit this time." He said with a smile.
"That's not funny." I said seriously.
"Ok, I'm sorry. We'll find a different way." James said giving me a quick kiss.
"Good." I said after the kiss. Sirius joined us and James pulled the cloak around us and got out his map.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good," He said. A system of lines and dots appeared on the parchment and turned into a map.
"Looks like it's all clear." Sirius said.
"Lets go then." I said. Even though I wasn't really in any mood to get too passionate with James at this moment in time I wanted to get home so that we could get to bed.
"All the students are a sleep. Except this C. Weasley but what can we do about that?" James said.
"Lets go then. I want to get home." I said. James gave me a suggestive look and I nodded.
"Ok, lets hurry up." James said. We went up to the castle and walked quickly to Dumbledore's office. We had to travel around under James' invisibility cloak because we weren't supposed to be here. If any of us were seen by a student or a teacher that wasn't McGonagall then we could get into some serious trouble. We got at the stone Gargoyle that protected Dumbledore's office and waited.
"What do we do now?" April asked.
"Chocolate Frog." Came McGonagall's voice. I turned and saw McGonagall through the cloak. "I suggest you keep your voices down." She said as the Gargoyle moved to reveal a set of steps. We stepped onto them and went to Dumbledore's office. McGonagall opened the office door as James pulled off the cloak.
"That was fun." James said.
"Nothing happened" I said.
"Still fun." James said. He put an arm around my shoulders and kissed my forehead before we walked into Dumbledore's office.
"The Potters are here." McGonagall said as she walked into the office.
"Thank you Minerva." Dumbledore said. "Ah, Lily, James." Dumbledore said standing up. "Please take a seat, I hope I didn't wake you up." I looked at James, no he didn't wake us up at all. James looked at me and smirked.
"No, you didn't wake us up. We were awake." James said. April let out a soft chuckle. I nudged April and she shut up. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.
"I'm sure you were." He said with a knowing smile. Great! My old headmaster knows my intentions. I thought. Dumbledore let out a soft chuckle and sat down. "Please sit down. Sirius, April please wait outside my office. Minerva, you may go. The Potters are here safely." McGonagall nodded and left the office. April and Sirius nodded as well and stood just outside the door. April closed the door behind her after mouthing 'good luck' to me. Good luck? Would I need luck? Did she know what was happening. I turned and sat in the seat next to James.
"What's happened Professor?" James asked.
"Nothing you need be too worried about yet." Dumbledore said. "And you will not need luck, Lily." I nodded. Ok, so nothing too bad.
"Are we being sent on an assignment?" I asked.
"Merlin, no." Dumbledore said. I sighed with relief. "But I do need you to do something for me." I nodded and James looked at Dumbledore curiously.
"It depends what it is." James said. I could never talk to Dumbledore like that. Dumbledore nodded.
"You have been attacked three times?" He asked.
"No, more then that." I said.
"By Voldemort himself?" Dumbledore asked.
"Oh, three times then" I said. Dumbledore nodded seriously and looked like he was in deep thought. I looked at James curiously. He was looking at me strangely as well. What was this about? Every time we were attacked Dumbledore seemed to want to see us. Normally it was just to check up on us.
"What's wrong?" James asked with a frown.
"I'm afraid that if my calculations are correct and if certain events happen you will have an extra member of your family in less then a years time." Dumbledore said. He didn't look at us. A new member of our family? What did that mean? There was only really one thing I could think of and that was having a baby but I wasn't pregnant. I knew because I had just had my period and I hadn't slept with James since then.
"What does that mean exactly?" I asked Dumbledore cautiously. He looked at James then at me then sighed.
"I happened to be a witness to a prophecy that prophesised the coming of a child that would have the power to bring down the Dark Lord." Dumbledore said. "The child would be born to a couple who had escaped Voldemort three times. There are only four people who have escaped Voldemort that many times and have the ability to have a baby. That is the Longbottoms and yourselves." Dumbledore said. I knew the Longbottoms. Alice Longbottom had helped me out of a run in with Deatheaters a few months ago.
"But I'm not pregnant." I said.
"I know, neither is Alice Longbottom" Dumbledore said. "This is merely a warning to you that you may be a high priority target for Voldemort. I know that he knows part of the Prophecy." I took James' hand and held it tightly. More attacks from Voldemort? I don't think I could cope with that.
"Well-" James said slowly and quietly, "Lily and I will be going away for a few weeks." Dumbledore looked slightly relieved.
"Where will you be going?"
"A cruise around the Caribbean." I told him. Dumbledore smiled.
"That's is very good. You will be able to have some time to yourself and you should be very safe on a ship." Dumbledore said. I gave him a smile but I was thinking about what Dumbledore had just told us. I knew James was thinking about it as well. My mind had been on the deatheater attacks but now it was drifting away from that. I was going to be a mum? No, that was ridiculous, I was too young. Besides, Dumbledore said there might be a possibility. It didn't mean that I was going to get pregnant and what was to say that the baby had to be English anyway? Voldemort had hundreds of supporters over seas, maybe someone abroad would have this baby.
"When are you leaving on the ship then?" Dumbledore asked.
"Oh, in a week, we're going to go and see Lily's parents first." James said. I barely heard. I was so preoccupied mentally.
"Ah," Dumbledore said. "Is it not tradition for the husband to detest his in-laws?" I heard that and smirked.
"I think James loves my parents more then I do." I said, coming out of my thought processes. Dumbledore gave a soft laugh.
"Please do not dwell on what I have told you tonight. It is just a warning and it may not happen to you. I just wanted to tell you to be very careful but as you will be going away for a while I need not have worried." Dumbledore said. "I hope you the best on your cruise. I have been told the Caribbean is absolutely marvellous." I nodded and James stood up. I followed suit and we went to the door.
"Thank you Professor." I said.
"Albus Dumbledore. You are no longer my students." Dumbledore said. I smiled and left behind James. Sirius and April were standing outside talking quietly.
"No, he's given them a new assignment" Sirius said.
"No way, James has just come back from one" April said.
"Actually he gave us a warning." James said. "Come on, lets go." He pulled the cloak over us and we headed back out towards the Whimping Willow. Again I was thinking about the possibility of having a baby. It had never struck me that something might happen from me and James sleeping with each other. I know that Dumbledore said that it might not us that had this baby, I had noticed that Voldemort had targeted more attacks towards James and myself recently. I didn't notice going into the tunnel and I only snapped back to reality when April shook me slightly in the tunnel.
"What?" I asked slightly startled.
"Are you ok?" April asked.
"Yeah, why shouldn't I be?" I asked.
"What did Dumbledore say?" April asked. I looked at James. He gave me a weak smile and pushed the trap door away.
"Nothing." I said quietly. Sirius helped me and April climb up through the trapdoor and we headed through the house and out into the night air of Hogsmeade.
"I'm going now." Sirius said. "You coming April?" April looked at him and shook his head. I knew she'd made up her mind as to what she wanted with Sirius.
"No, it's ok. I have to be at work early tomorrow." Sirius pouted slightly but disapparated. I looked at April.
"You've decided then?" I asked. April nodded.
"When you come back from your holiday there won't be any more me and Sirius." She said with a sigh.
"What does that mean?" James asked frowning.
"I'm going to break up with him." April said sadly. James nodded.
"He told me he thought you might do that." James said.
"Wow, he's cleverer then he looks." I said sarcastically. April smiled.
"I'm guessing that's why he's been eyeing other girls." April asked. James nodded.
"He's been feeling you're getting too mature anyway." James said, "And take that as a compliment. The only other people he thinks are too mature are Lily and Jenny." April laughed.
"Ok. Have fun on your cruise." April said.
"We will." I said, I gave April a hug and she disapparated away. I looked at James and apparated back home. I was back in the bedroom. I had changed into my sleeping clothes when James apparated back about ten minutes later.
"Sorry, checking up on Moony." James said. I nodded, I had been expecting that. He quickly stripped to his boxers, his preferred clothes for sleeping in.
"It's fine. How is he?" I asked.
"Your potion is working wonders" James said with a smile. A strange awkward silence fell between us after this. There had never been any awkward silence between us before. In the past the silences between me and James had either been happy and content or angry and seething. The latter generally before I had started dating James. James looked at me from the other side of the bed. It was strange that maybe what we could be doing would result in a baby.
"So you think we will have a baby?" James asked. I shrugged. I had begun to think along those lines as well.
"I don't know." I said. James looked at me and gave me a hesitant smile.
"Um, so do you still feel like, you know?" He indicated at the bed. It was strange talking to him like this. I knew this feeling would be gone by tomorrow but it was still weird. "Because I don't really feel like it anymore but if you want to-"
"No, it's fine." I said. I slipped into the unmade bed and pulled the duvet over me. James got in as well and I rolled towards him and put my head on his shoulder. "Good night James." I whispered.
"Night." He said as he picked up his wand and flicked it. The lights switched off and I went to sleep, having dreams filled with a young baby boy and flashes of green light.
"Lily, James." My mum said throwing her arms around me. I nearly lost my balance but thanks to James putting a hand on my back I managed to stay upright.
"Hi mum." I said. Mum let go of me and gave James a quick hug. He kissed her cheek in a husband-sees-mother-in-law-and-is-happy-to-see-her way.
"Hello Margaret" He said with a smile.
"So how long will you be staying?" Mum asked as she took my bags.
"A few days. The ship leaves on Saturday" I said.
"That means you'll be staying with us on your anniversary?" Mum asked.
"Yes." I said. "You don't mind do you?" I asked.
"Of course not. Quite the contrary. Your grandparents have invited us to a dinner they'll be having with the rest of the family and it's some kind of charity thing as well." Mum said. "It's tomorrow, they desperately wanted to invite you but didn't know how to contact you and our owl has flown off." Mum said.
"Oh." I said, "Well you know we live at Godric's Hollow in Wales, don't you?" I asked uncertainly.
"Of course I do but you also don't have a phone." Mum said, "And it was too late to send you a letter"
"We do." I told her. "I gave you the number when we got it installed" James had wondered off already to the kitchen while I helped my mum take our stuff to my old bedroom.
"Oh." She said, "I must have lost it." She said with a laugh. "Well you're here now." I laughed and rolled my eyes. We went into my old room. Mum hadn't changed a thing. I still had the photos on the walls and decorating the room. My desk still had a quill next to a blank piece of parchment and some of my old textbooks were still piled untidily on the bookshelf. My room was the only room in the house where we could display wizarding photos and not have to hide them whenever visitors came around.
"I guess you will be wanting to sleep in the same bed as your husband" mum said, it wasn't a question but she was looking at my bed. It was a bit small for two people to sleep in it. "Your bed is a bit small."
"Oh, it doesn't matter." I said, I got out my wand and used it to move a few things out of the way and then I transfigured my bed into a slightly larger bed. Mum looked at me impressed.
"Do you think you'll be able to make my own bed a four poster bed?" Mum asked me. I smiled.
"After dinner." I said, "I'm really hungry, I didn't eat this morning and I think James is starved." Mum nodded.
"Of course. Lunch first and then you'll redecorate the house" She said as a joke. I smiled and my mum left the room. I went to my desk and picked up a photo on the desk. It had a picture of Me, April and Jenny doing some random dance we had made up during the Christmas holidays in sixth year. I missed Jenny so much. I desperately wanted to see her, I had sent her a few owls but she never replied to my letters. I slowly put down the photo and turned to see James in the doorway. He smiled at me.
"So. We're going to see your family are we?" He asked. I smiled.
"You better turn on the charm, my grandparents are hard to please." I said.
"Bring it on!" James said. I laughed and gave him a kiss. "It's just Petunia I'm not looking forwards to seeing." James said after the kiss. He wasn't looking at me but at another photo on my desk. I turned and it was a Muggle photo of me and Petunia when we were really young, I think I must have been about five in the photo. She was hugging me tightly like she loved me so much. I gave James a sad smile and pushed him to the bed. James laughed and lay down on the bed while I sat on his waist, my legs either side of his body.
"Now, what will you do tomorrow when you meet my family?"
"Turn on the charm."
"And what will you wear?"
"Anything but robes." He said with a grin. I frowned slightly.
"No, actually you need to wear something smart. I'm going to have to take you shopping. I don't actually have anything smart to wear either." I said, James grinned.
"I know." James said. "I saw you packing." His eyes gave a cheeky twinkle. I hit him lightly on the chest and he laughed.
"We'll go shopping later." I said.
"Do you think you could buy a bikini?" James asked me.
"Why?" I asked him. "What's wrong with my old one?"
"Nothing, I just want to go bikini shopping with you" James said. I felt his hands on my bare back. Trust James to want to do that.
"I'll think about it. It depends how much money I have in my bank account." I said. James pouted and sat up to kiss me.
"Fine, don't please me." He said.
"I said it depends on how much money I have. I won't be able to buy a bikini but it doesn't mean I can't try them on." I said with a grin. James gave me a grin.
"You want to try and have sex in a changing room?" James asked, I looked at James slightly shocked.
"What?" I asked him. He looked at me innocently.
"It'll be fun." He said. I looked at him uncertainly. He sighed. "I knew there was no breaking your innocent ways." I looked at him with narrowed eyes and pushed him down onto the bed. His hands came up to my shoulders as mine went into his trousers. It was his turn to be slightly surprised.
"This is new." He breathed.
"I know." I said with a grin. My hands made their way into James' boxers and felt around for a little bit. James looked at me trying to smile but he couldn't quite manage it as pleasure began to take over his expression instead. I smiled and gave him a kiss.
"LILY! LUNCH!" Mum shouted up. I pulled my hands out of James' trousers and stood up.
"Time to go." I said brightly. James looked at me in annoyance and shock.
"You little devil." He said. I gave him an innocent smile and he got up awkwardly.
"I'm going to get you back for that." James said.
"How?" I asked him, bouncing on my toes.
"You'll see." He said knowingly. I didn't like that tone. He reached for me and grabbed my waist and started tickling me. I let out a scream and tried to get him off.
"Stop it!" I shouted at him in between laughs.
"No." James said grinning. I tried to push him away but he just tickled me even more. There was a cough at the door and we looked up to see my mum.
"Lunch is ready" She said with a smirk.
"Thanks mum." I said getting up and straightening the skirt I was wearing. James smirked at me.
"That wasn't my revenge by the way." James said. I looked at him with narrowed eyes and a smile. James grinned and we followed my mum downstairs to the kitchen and sat down at the table. I was slightly cautious of James now. He sat down next to me.
"Mum, do I have any post?" I asked her.
"Yes, only a few bank statements though. I hope you don't mind that I opened them up." Mum said
"Of course not. How much money do I have?"
"About four hundred pounds." She said.
"Plenty of money." James said happily. I rolled my eyes and had some of the salad my mum had gotten ready for us.
