I saved another kid's life again yesterday (:

Long Nights

`James grinned, "Hey Lils, would you want to go out with me sometime?"

Lily looked at him incredulously, "Are you serious?"

"No, Lils, I'm James, remember? James Potter, the one who you were handcuffed to for the last three months and seventeen days?" he said grinning, "But really, do you want to?"

She paused; she was ecstatic really, "Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes, I'd love to go out with you," she began to grin uncontrollably, as did James.

In a very clichéd way, James picked Lily up and swung her around, "It only took three years."

"Oh come here, you," she said, kissing him.

After moments kissing, James pulled away, still grinning like a madman. He glanced around, "As much as I love kissing you, it's getting pretty dark out; we should really be heading home," James said nervously.

"All right," Lily said in agreement, "but first," she took out her wand and muttered a spell. Muggle-like handcuffs appeared on their wrists.

James looked at her questionably, "Lils, we just got those other bloody handcuffs off-," he started, but Lily interrupted him.

"Yes, but I'd rather not have to explain this to my parents just yet, thank you very much. Once we get to your house, we can take them off easily."
"We're leaving Sunday, yes?"

"Yes, at night."

They continued their idle chitchat until they arrived at Lily's house. Both of them were ecstatic and grinning uncontrollably. James had wanted it for so long and so badly, and now finally, it was. Lily had not wanted it for as long as James did, but she did want just as badly; right at this moment, she could feel her heart pounding in her ribcage.

"Mum, Dad, we're back," Lily said sheepishly as she walked in the door.

"I'm sorry Lily. I didn't think Petunia would be so rude!" Lily's mother exclaimed, hugging her daughter.

"It's fine, Mum," Lily voice came muffled from her mother's embrace.

"And you too, James!" Mrs. Evans said, letting go of her daughter and hugging James.

"Honestly Mrs. Evans, it's fine," James said, patting Mrs. Evans on the back.

Katherine Evans stepped back away from and looked at them fondly, "Oh you two." She walked out of the room; James supposed to leave to her bedroom.

John Evans simply kissed Lily on the forehead and squeezed James's shoulder, "Sleep tight." And with that, he followed his wife.

James glanced at the clock; the green digital numbers read 11:49 PM. He turned to Lily, "I dunno about you, but I'm exhausted."

"Yes, it's been rather a long night," she said grinning and placed her arms around James's neck, kissing him only slightly.

He placed his hands around her waist, "Yes, yes, it has." He kissed her lightly on the lips

Welcome back summer (: Aka, welcome to picking two: sleep, social life or sports. I chose not sleeping this summer, and oh boy, am I feeling it. I am so sorry about this ridiculously short chapter. I wouldn't even really call it a chapter, but I couldn't stand not posting something. By mid-July, I'll be better with posting. I swear. This chapter seriously took me two weeks to write because of my limited free time.
