A/N: I'm sorry it took longer than I thought, but I've recuperated and I'm ready to write. My birthday just passed, November 18, and so did Thanksgiving, which is an American holiday, so I'm ready to write some more. More importantly, though, I got 98 on a research project that I worked really hard on, and this girl who I don't like who thinks she is just amazing got 72. HAHA! Sorry, I sound bitchy, but oh well! I owned her! Unfortunately, though, I do not also own these characters, or the Potterverse. Just to put that out there, in case you were wondering, for future reference.

When Lily and James woke up the next morning, Lily was mostly lying on top of James, and their limbs were tangled. It was Saturday morning, and Christmas morning at that, and they were both very excited to get up and get and give their presents.

After washing up quickly, they went downstairs with only slippers over their pajamas, kissing a few times as they descended the stairs.

"Morning!" Lily called to Jenny and Eric.

"Morning, Lily, James."

"So, since everyone's awake, let's open presents!"

"Thank you so much!" Lily gave Jenny and Eric both big hugs.

The four people were sitting in four partially separated piles of gifts. Lily's pile consisted of a Mitch Albom book collection from Remus and Peter, a set of three cashmere sweaters in different colors from Sirius, a black lacy thong and bra set that Lily hid from the Potters from Emmeline and Alice, a platinum-set tennis bracelet from her parents, red leather gloves with stunning inseaming and matching cotton scarf from Ben, and a silver Tiffany's mesh ring from the Potter parents. When she clipped on the tennis bracelet, it mingled perfectly with her Cartier Love Bracelet. She slid the ring onto the ring finger on the same hand, and held her hand away from her face and tilted her head to admire it.

James had gotten a little golden snitch from Remus and Peter, a book called How to Keep The Girl You Really Don't Deserve In The First Place from Sirius, an assortment of Honeyduke's candy from Emmeline and Alice, and a little replica of one of his Quidditch games from this year in which Gryffindor had made a huge win from his parents.

"Lil, ready to exchange presents?" James asked.

"Yeah, of course, here." She exclaimed pulling a scarlet and gold wrapped present from behind her. James pulled out a green and red wrapped present from behind him and they exchanged the presents.

James opened his present to find a small black box tied with a white ribbon. When he opened it, James found a series of sleek silver bars making a band that held the face of a watch that was very simple, with a black base and small silver hands. At the top, there was a small silver crystal, and on the back of the face, "J+L" was carved in delicately. (A/N: http/www .watche m /06053 93. html take out the spaces). James loved it and immediately put it on, and quickly thanked Lily, eager for her to open his present.

Lily unwrapped her present, noting James' excited expression. She reached her hand in and felt a hard point, moving up to feel a hard slope with a soft shell and a soft, velvety inside. Moving down, she felt a rounded end and realized that the gift was hollow. As realization dawned her, she turned to James.

"You didn't."

As James shrugged, Lily pulled out the gift to see a shoe with a round-toe pump, and a tan color, but with deep purple velvet lining, and there would be little white lilies carved into the deep purple velvet heel. She slipped them onto her delicate feet, and they were a dream to walk in, molding to the defined shape of her feet.

"James, you got the shoes made." Lily nearly whispered. She flung her arms around him, hugging him tightly and kissing him enthusiastically, clearly pleased with the present she had received.

"Wait, Lily, look at what it says on the lining of the inside of the shoe."

Lily looked, and saw the words "Lily Evans Original" stitched in, exactly as she planned on doing when she started her own shoe collection.

"Oh my god, James, you are too sweet. You went through all that trouble! I love them, I'll wear them all the time! Well, all the time when they match my outfit."

James laughed at her lightly before the couple returned to their embrace, Lily's new shoes looking fabulous and never pinching her toes.

That day, the foursome decided to go into town. Everyone put on their Christmas attire, though Lily was careful to make sure everything matched her new shoes.

After going out for tea, the couples split up to walk around the town, planning a place to meet.

Lily and James were walking around the park, James' arm around her shoulders and Lily's arm around his waist. All around them, families and friends and couples were laughing merrily and enjoying eachothers company.

"James, thank you again for the shoes, I really do love them."

"Anything for you, Lil. So, did you have fun with the Potters for the past few days?"

"It was wonderful, James, I hope I can come back to see everyone again soon!"

"Well, I can assure you that wish will be granted." James implied, and the two shared a look.

"Happy Christmas Lily."

That night, Lily stood in front of the full length mirror in Ben's old Rugby shirt and her new shoes, her head cocked to the side as she studied her reflection. James peeked into her door which was ajar.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah, sure." Lily turned her head to face him, dropping her weight onto one hip.

"What are you doing?" James asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind and resting his head on her shoulder, the two staring at theit reflection together.

"Well, I want to go to bed, but I can't make myself take my shoes off."

James laughed at her predicament, if you could really go so far as to call it that.

"I have an idea."

Ten minutes later found Lily and James lying spooned in James' bed, Lily facing the bedside table on which her shoes stood, enabling her to still be able to admire the shoes, even though she was in bed.

"Good?"

"Perfect." They both fell asleep, thinking of just how perfect it was.

A/N: A little sappy I know, but whatever you'll deal with it. I hope you liked it, and I am still taking some drama suggestions. I have an idea of who Gossip Girl will be, and I think you'll like it, but I'm wondering whether or not you will want me to tell you? Well, let me know.

You Know You Love Me Once Again,
