Author's Note: For , here you go, a day early. Also because I have a huge midterm tomorrow and I needed a break from studying before my head imploded. Only one more chapter after this.
"Yet. You're not engaged, yet."
The day of Ally's party arrived. Frank and I had decided to show up "fashionably late". AKA after everyone else is there, so everyone could freak out at once before getting over it.
We apparated outside the front door, pausing for a moment. Frank pulled me in for a quick kiss before wrapping his arm around my shoulders and opening the door.
The instant we appeared, James was shouting to us from across the room, "Frank, Lily, you're here!"
Everyone's attention turned to us. A few jaws dropped (mostly the men), and a few knowing smirks appeared (mostly the women), and then Albus realized what was going on.
Looking back, I probably should have told him ahead of time. Especially since Mum, Dad, and James already knew…
He stormed towards us, and I just knew he was about to take a swing at Frank. He's great with a wand, but when he's angry, the fists start flying.
I stepped in front on Frank with my arms crossed, glaring at him. "And just what do you think you're doing, Albus?"
He stopped just short of me. Glaring down at me in return, he forced the words out through clenched teeth. "Just what is going on here?"
"Didn't you know?" I threw him a cheeky grin. "We've been dating for over a month now."
Before Al could make a move, Frank dragged me behind him and stepped right up to Al. He leaned forward and whispered something in Al's ear which I couldn't hear. He leaned back and raised an eyebrow at him.
Al relaxed and gave us a small grin. "Alright then. But I better never walk in on anything."
I grinned. "No promises!"
