Chapter Seven: The Gift
*Several weeks later*
Lily only had the dream that once and had pushed it to the back of her mind. She hadn't told anyone, James was the only one who knew.
Lily and Anaiya had passed their N.E.W.T.s with flying colors. She had once asked Anaiya how she had done so well when Lily had hardly ever seen her study. She had only smiled mysteriously and vaguely said, "Oh, I managed." James had also gotten top marks.
Making a frustrated sound as the wind blew her long red locks into her face, Lily shoved at her hair.
She sat by the lake reflecting on the past year. Who would have guessed that I would be James Potter's girlfriend? Certainly not me. She mused. You would think he'd go for the blondes with big blue eyes. Like Keredwel, Hallana and Annet. Not a pale girl with bright green eyes and flame colored hair…
Lily turned as she heard a twig snap behind her. Her gaze locked on James. She took a moment to take in his appearance. Hair messy as ever, twinkling chocolate brown eyes behind glasses, tall and lean. Lily tilted her head as she saw the small velvet box he was holding.
Her lips curved as she asked, "What's that?"
"I found this in a little shop in Hogsmeade. I thought it was perfect for you." He handed to her.
Lily opened the lid to find a small glass lily pendant on a silver chain. Her eyes widened slightly. "James, it's beautiful. It must have cost a lot."
As she carefully took it from the box, he said, "It's hardly as beautiful as you." He ran a finger down her cheek. "And the price doesn't matter." He took the necklace from her and fastened it around her neck.
She lifted her hand to stroke it with a finger, then leaned forward to kiss James softly. "Thank you. It means a lot to me."
He kissed her on the forehead, murmuring, "Don't mention it." He pulled her closer, and they sat like that, not speaking, as no words were needed.
