Incoming Call from Lily of the Valley 3

"That was fast."

"I was going to ask if I could wait for Santa with you."

"I've already got Santa Watch up on my laptop. Why are you whispering, anyway?"

"I don't want my parents to hear."

"Evans! Are you not allowed to talk to your boyfriend past 10pm?"

"If my dad wakes up, he'll come in and ask way too many questions."

"Ahhh. He's not still upset about you missing Christmas Eve with your family, is he?"

"I don't think so. Dursley invited them to his parents', so he'll probably be texting me under the table the whole time."

"I don't want him to hate me. Then again, Vermin is my competition, so I feel pretty good about my chances of being the favorite son-in-law."

"There's someone else you need to ask, you know, before you become that favorite."

"Don't worry, Evans. I've got a five year plan and you're in it."

"Mary totally roasted me when I walked into our freshman dorm with a five year plan. I want to hear more about yours."

"At the end of the five years it says 'and then they'll be sorry!'"

"So it is the same one I had back then!"

"I knew we were meant for each other, Evans."

"I really miss you."

"I miss you too. So much that Sirius is making fun of me, but I don't even care."

"Is Remus there? Or are you both looking out the window, waiting for someone to return from war?"

"Remus is not here, actually. So Sirius is just as pathetic as me but not admitting it. When do you want me to pick you up from the war, by the way?"

"I want to say as soon as you can. But I should say after ten so you can say hi to my parents."

"Will Petunia be there?"

"She might leave early. She's one of those people who likes to shop on Christmas Eve so she can complain about everyone else."

"God, that sounds awful. Is she still mad at us?"

"Not more than she's usually mad at me. Remember, being a sister isn't about being nice or whatever."

"Being a sister means you get a free pass to be bitchy."

"Only if you're Petunia. I can't say anything that might upset her. But I'd rather talk about you and when you're coming tomorrow. Or maybe today, at this point."

"Is it - it's midnight! Happy Christmas Eve, Evans."

"Happy Christmas Eve, James."

"Our first Christmas Eve together… Shut up, Sirius!"

"Sirius is there? Not mooning after his missing boyfriend?"

"Oh my god, the pun. I love you. And yeah, he's here. He has no room to make fun of me when I know he's snapping Remus."

"You didn't snap me. Does that mean you've done something to your hair since I saw you?"

"... I haven't."

"What does that mean? Can I still run my fingers through it? Is it a different color?"

"Sirius and I may have gotten into a prank war and he may have used some of that hair dye that's like hairspray on me."

"How am I supposed to kiss you properly if your hair is all sticky with bad dye?"

"I was planning on wearing a hat until it fades. Especially when I come to pick you up tomorrow. Wouldn't want your dad to see me with neon pink streaks in my hair."

"Can you wear a Santa hat so we can still get some cute Christmas photos?"

"Of course. Tis the season."

"I hope you got him back."

"I'm in the planning stages of getting him back."

"I can help once I get there."

"Yes, please. I'm pretty sure he has Remus reluctantly on his side. Poor guy. He's always getting pulled into things."

"He told me that when I tried to pull him into messing with you."

"Hopefully our Christmas gift to him will make up for everything we've put him through."

"Getting to spend Christmas Eve with me? A McDonald's gift card?"

"A year's supply of chocolate. Or two months worth, if you're Remus Lupin."

"So I should give him the box of fancy chocolate I got and go with wine for your mum."

"You can never go wrong with chocolate for Remus. Mum will love the wine."

"I hope she likes me."

"What are you talking about? She'll love you."

"I really hope she does. I told my parents I might not be back until after Christmas morning, so if it goes well…"

"I'll get to wake up to Lily Evans on Christmas morning?"

"If your parents are okay with it. And if you want me to stay."

"Of course I want you to stay! It's what I asked Santa for. My parents won't care."

"Then I'll pack my new pajamas. We did family Christmas stuff today since Petunia's going to the Dursleys' house."

"Excellent. My mom normally makes a big breakfast Christmas morning after we open our gifts."

"I can't wait. Should I let you get some sleep so you can get here sooner?"

"I probably ought too. Wouldn't be too great if I fell asleep on my way to get you in the morning."

"You're not allowed to do that. You have to get here in one piece so I can make sure I can still run my fingers through your hair."

"My neon pink hair."

"I'll deal with it if it's yours."

"You love me."

"I thought that was obvious."

"Painfully so, according to Sirius."

"Well, he can be right about some things."

"Let's not tell him. I better be going for real though, Evans. Sleep and all that."

"It's important. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Love you, Evans."

"I love you too. Text me when you're on your way."

"Will do. See you tomorrow."

"... You have to hang up, Potter. You have to drive in the morning."

"But I don't want to hang up first."

"You have to sleep so you can make a good impression with my dad."

"Fiiiine. But only because the odds are already stacked against me with my hair."

"Good night, James. I love you."

"Goodnight, Lily."
