"James what are you doing? Why are you covering my eyes?" Lily exclaimed, walking forwards with her hands out
"Shh, it's alright Lils, you'll like it. It's a surprise!" He said happily, grinning to himself. He walked her into their basement, where he had set up a bunch of crafts for the two of them to do that were Christmas wizard traditions that him and his family always used to do.
"Alright, we're here." He told her, taking his hands off her eyes.
She blinked and looked around, seeing a bunch of things flying all over and their table piled with random stuff that she barely recognized. "What is all this?" She asked him, raising an eyebrow.
"Christmas traditions! For the wizarding world. I figured that since you never got to do them, it was time you did." He said with a small smile. "Do you like it?" He asked her hopefully.
She giggled and grinned, kissing his cheek. "I love it, thank you." She said happily, sitting down and looking around. "What do we even do?" She asked, completely confused about everything.
He laughed and started showing her different things to do, from making enchanted ornaments that had moving pictures to the mistletoe he used that did not allow to users to move until they kissed. He was so happy, just to finally be doing something with her that he used to do when he was a kid.
"We have to get Harry to do some of these next year... I think he's just a bit too young right now, but next year he can probably start. At least putting them together, the magic may be too advanced... Well I mean he did cast something the other day." Lily said, blushing a bit and smiling at James. "He's going to grow up like you, I know it." She said to him, sniffling a bit.
James smiled. "I hope he takes the best traits of the two of us." He said to her, then noticed her sniffling. "What's the matter?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow.
She wiped her eyes and bit her lip. "Nothing, it's stupid..." She said quietly.
He moved closer and wrapped his arm around her. "I'm sure it's not. What's bothering you?" He asked, kissing her cheek.
A few tears slipped down her cheeks and she smiled faintly. "Just... Doing this with you, and with Harry, it reminds me of old traditions I did with my family, until my letter came. And it makes me feel like, like I really belong in this world. Your world." She explained, looking over at him.
He smiled and kissed her sweetly. "You always belonged in this world love. And really, it's not my world, it's our world." He murmured.
Lily beamed and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Thank you..." She whispered happily, realizing now that this was her home.
