Christmas Day
We had been planning Lily's birthday with my dad since we found out it was over the vaction. Christmas was tomorrow and Lily's Birthday is going be held that night, she doesn't know about, well I hope not anyway. I headed down stairs and we all set around the magical fireplace witch happened to be giving off cold air to keep the house cool. I curled up with Lily. Gwen's friends went home the other day to spend Christmas with there parents. Gwen was sleeping on Sirius and what a surprise Peter was out cold on the floor, I realized he wasn't snoring and got scared for a minute thinking he was dead, but then I realized someone put a silencing charm on him, Thank god. Sirius smiled at me then shut his eyes pulling Gwen closer to him. Remus walked to the sofa wrapping him self in a ball of covers. My dad lay sleeping in his armchair and I could only think I'm lucky to have them. The only sound that could be heard in the house was the crackling of the fire. I wrapped my arms around Lily and closed my eyes inhaling her sent "You smell like Raspberry Melon".
She giggled and looked up at me "You smell good, but I can't my finger on it I just know I like it" she closed her eyes and slumber came over her. I took in my surrounding hoping we would be able to do this again sometime. I soon dosed off.
I woke up to Lily's warm lips on mine "Time to get up sleepy!" She smiled at me then helped me to my feet. "It's Christmas."
I pulled her to me kissed her and whispered softly in her ear "Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas, My love."
"James you're to much."
"Oh, I know. Thank you very much." She rolled her eyes at me and we headed to the den to open presents. When we arrived every one was sitting around the tree by their pile of presents waiting for us, so they could open them.
"He awakes, now can we start?" Sirius asked directing the question to my father.
"Yes Sirius you may" my father said with a chuckle in his voice.
Lily and me sat by our presents and started to open them. Lily face lit up with surprise, at all the presents my dad got her, she couldn't thank my dad enough. I got everything from a new broom to muggle clothes, the same with the rest of the guys. "Lily may I speak with you alone please" I asked pulling her from the new book she had gotten for Christmas.
"Sure" she put her book down and followed me to a down stairs guest room. She took a set next to me on the bed and asked "What is it James?"
"I got you something. It's a birthday – Christmas gift. Well the reason that I wanted to give it to you alone is it needs explaining so here" I handed her the neatly gold wrapped rectangle box. She looked up at me for some since and I motioned her to open it. She slowly pulled the wrapping from the box, looking down at an old leather covered book. "It's a journal but not an average journal. You press your finger on the right hand corner on the first page and it reads your DNA giving you your family tree on both sides of your family. Then you use the rest of the journal for writing, it has unlimited pages. Oh and because the guys and me have journals made from the same stuff we can talk to each other. All you have to do is write dear and who ever you want to talk to. Then it will send the letter to that person and we can also write back to you."
"Oh, Thank you James. I love it! I would have never though you guys would have journals."
I blushed slightly " Well I use mine to write things like my graduation speech. Peter never uses his, Sirius uses his to bug us every time we open them there's a flashing letter that says WRITE ME 600 hundred times and Remus I don't know what he uses his for."
She put it down and wrapped her arms around my neck "Thank you" she whispered before she kissed me.
I heard peters voice outside the door "What do you think there doing?"
Sirius answered him as if he were talking to a 2-year-old "Snagging Dah."
"So he's not as stupid as he looks," Lily said pulling away from me.
"So you don't want to prove him wrong, so snag with me." She rolled her eyes and leaned into me.
We played Quidditch later on that day, with some other Witches and wizards who were sleeping over that night for the Christmas party, well that's what lily taught, not knowing it was also for her too. I was day dreaming so much I didn't even realize the bludger that came straight for me hitting me in the right arm and almost knocking me from my broom. I screamed in pain as I landed my broom on the ground.
Lily landed her broom next to me with the rest of the guys. "Are you ok?" she asked with slight worry crossing her face.
"Fine" I winced.
"Sorry" said Vince the Guy who hit the bludger.
"I'm going to get your dad" Sirius said running off.
"I'll be fine" I tried to move my arm but soon realized I couldn't.
"James Anthony Potter, Don't pull that I'm a guy I'm unbreakable and unhurtible with me. Sit your ass down" Lily said with a stern face. I decided not to cross her and set down on a bench near by. My dad and some people came running out moments later. My dad helped me into the house and sat me on are kitchen table to look at my injuries.
"I wanted to get rid of that so called Quidditch pitch you guys built years ago. The injuries you guys have gotten from it are unbelievable. Between Sirius cracking his head open and you falling." He shook his head and slowing pulled off my shirt to reveal my already purple arm. "James I want you to tell me if anything hurts?"
"It hurts," I said looking at him.
He lightened up looking up at me "Tell me when it hurts the most." He moved my shoulder and I bit my lip in pain.
"Pain" I managed to say
"Tell me if you feel this?" my dad was holding my hand and banding my elbow. I shook my head no. "You bruised it really bad and dislocated it but I think that's all." He paused then called lily over and started whispering in her ear. Lily walked over to me and tangled her arms around my uninjured arm.
"James look at me and don't turn your head just look at me, focus on me nothing else."
"That's not hard" I looked at her trying to smile at me with a fake smile. The next thing I know pain shoot throw my arm, I want to turn my head but lily stopped me, gently placing a hand on my cheek. The pain came again ten times worse I bit my lip till I tasted blood, my body tensed and I thought I was going to faint. Then I heard a popping noise and I could feel my fingers again. I felt relief and blinked to clear my vision that had been clouded by the few tears I let escape. I took a deep breath.
"Is that better" my dad asked weary.
"Yeah it feels better. I can feel my fingers."
My dad pulled a sling from the first aid kit that was always around and helped me put it on. Not trusting me he put a spell on my arm so I couldn't move it. " I'll take the spell off tomorrow."
"Dad" I pleaded.
"James I know you if I don't you'll be on a broom as soon as I turn my back and I'm hoping this will stop you." He looked tired.
"I promise I wont. Know will you go get some rest and the guys and me will handle that guest. We'll wake you up at 6:00 when the party is supposed to start."
He looked at me deciding "Yes, but if anything happens come get me. Please Lily."
She smiled and nodded it was as if they had a secret agreement.
Not that many more people showed up for the party and I made sure to keep us all out of trouble. The clock stuck 6 and I made my way up the steps to wake my dad. "Dad time to get up" I started to shack him with my good arm and he finely sat up.
'Thanks James I needed that!" he stretched.
"Dad were you serious about the Quidditch pitch, cuz I can take it down if you wish" I said this not willingly but hopeful he would say no.
"James you're a great kid, I don't think I tell you enough. I wasn't serious about the Quidditch pitch I was just upset that my only son was injured. I actually love it; it gets you guys off my back. I was thinking we need a real one at the house."
My jaw hit the floor "Really!"
"I ordered one it didn't come yet, it should be here by the time you get home from Hogwarts. I was going to make it a surprise but you looked like you need some cheering up." He started to laugh at my expression and I realized my mouth was hanging open.
"I love you" I hugged my dad the best I could.
"I love you too. Know how's that arm?"
"It's ok. When do you think I can state using it again."
"I'll give you medicine to heal it to night, it's best taken before you sleep. I'm thinking about a week and a half. Just to make sure."
"Cool, I think I can deal with that" I left to find the guys but they were all getting changed so I decide to too. I slowly but surely got in to my emerald green robes. I walked down stairs to see that a lot more company had showed up. I found the guys sitting in the living room.
"Hey, Jamie how you doing?" Sirius asked as I sat next to him.
"Better. Where's Lily?"
Remus answered "Getting ready she should be down any minute."
"And look there she is" Peter said pointing to the stairs.
I turned to see Lily in a white dress, which fell off her shoulders. Her hair was in loose curls around her face. I walked in a daze to the end of the stairs to meet her. I put out my uninjured arm and said in a gentleman's voice "May I escort you my lady."
"Yes, my kind sir" she said taking it. We walked over to the guys and they all stood to greet her.
"The lady of the hour is here" my dad's voice boomed from behind us. Lily looked at me puzzled, than turned around.
Her eyes grow wide and her face went into a big smile when she saw the sign that my dad had just magically put up that read "Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Lily." "You did this from me. OH thank you Mr. Potter" she gave my dad a big hug.
"I had lots a help on this one" he told her when she pulled away.
"Oh, you guys are that best" she went Around giving everyone a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "And for you James" she kissed my cheek and whispered softly in my ear so no one else could here "I'll deal with you later."
"The party has begun" my dad enounced the music began to play and everyone went back to what they were doing.
"My I have this dance!" I bowed to lily asking.
"Yes you may" she took my hand and we walked on to the dance floor. We danced to about three songs till finally a slow song came on. I pulled her into me with my left arm, wrapping it around her waist. "James" she looked up at me with a smile "Thank you so much. This is the best time of my life and I owe it to you."
"And this is the best time of my life and I owe it all to you" I smiled back at her and she placed her head gently on my left shoulder.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine."
"You always are." Later on that night we had cake and the whole party song happy birthday to Lily. I even think I saw her blush slightly. Everyone had either left or was crashed some where in the house by one. I walked Lily to her room.
Sitting down on the end of her bed I asked "Did you like it?"
"What a question to ask, I didn't like it" seeing my puzzled look she went on to say " I loved it" she wrapped her arms around me neck and I winced slightly in pain. She pulled away like she had been burned. "Sorry, Oh my god how stupid was that."
"Lily I'm fine it didn't even hurt."
"Well, I'll make it better any way" she said caught my lips. I stood up to deepen the kiss, she let her hand run up my spine sending chills throw my body, which was followed by a wave of heat. I lowered her to the bed, she turned on top of me leaving warm kiss down my cheek, and she slowly made her way to my collarbone. My skin burned with a trail of her kisses. This time I caught her lips, she pulled away slowly moments later and with a smile said "Is it better."
"No, it needs more kisses to make it better."
"It needs rest and so do I" she stood up helping me to my feet "Night James" she kissed my cheek, then pushed me out of the room locking the door behind me. That girl is going to drive me mad, she will be the death of me. Before I went to bed I took the medicine my dad gave me.
