(A/N, Wow, 15 reviews! Thanks Topaz Lily, gwvixen21, Lindzoid143, Alizee,
Lexie and Jacy. Hope you like this one. Btw, I really need to know if
"missing the clou" is a Dutch expression only, could you please tell me?
And no Alizee, I'm not a Buffy fan, I like watching it, but it's
broadcasted rather late in my country so I can't watch it often. Polgara is
a character in the Belgariad and the Malloreon by David Eddings, I didn't
know she was a demon, it's funny really. In the Malloreon she's fought a
demon with the help of a god. That "Bargaining" referred to James stealing
her bra. )

Chapter 4, Presents
They walked to the castle and into the Great Hall just in time for breakfast. Since most people went home for Christmas the house tables were suspended, the students sat facing the staff and Lily and James, being Head- Boy and Girl sat facing Dumbledore and McGonagall. During breakfast they kept looking and smiling at each other.
After watching them for a while Dumbledore asked, 'What are you two so happy about?'
Lily blushed as red as her hair, but James said, 'We engaged a year ago, we celebrated.' Lily flushed even redder, James grinned at her.
'Ah', said Dumbledore, winking knowingly at James, and to Lily's amazement and amusement he began to blush furiously as well.
'I don't really want to hear anything else.' Said McGonagall with flaming cheeks.
Dumbledore looked at his beet red Head Students, then at McGonagall and began to laugh merrily.
After breakfast they walked to the Gryffindor Tower. Both of them walked to their dormitories to get their presents and took them downstairs to open them together. They got presents from their friends of course, but the only ones they noticed were the ones they gave each other.
Lily gave James a small hand mirror, he looked puzzled. 'It's a sort of telephone.' She explained, 'When you want to talk to me just say my name to it, I'll hear it and we'll be able to see and talk to each other.' She said, holding up her own.
James kissed her and handed her his present. It looked like a book, 'Open it.' He said eagerly, looking over her shoulder.
She didn't understand but did it. She gasped at what she saw, in the book was a sort of TV-screen and on it she could see what she and James had been doing yesterday evening, in disturbingly great detail. She flushed to the roots of her hair and slammed it shut.
James was grinning at her, 'I thought it might be that one.' He said cryptically.
'James,' she said, still beet-red, 'what is it?'
'It's a Recaller, it shows you what memory you've been thinking or dreaming about most for the past 12 hours. If you want you can make it show different memories, but then you've got to use your wand and tell it what you want to see.'
'Thank you.' She said, hugging him. 'I've got something else,' he murmured in her ear, 'but I want to give it to you in a special place as it's a special gift. Any ideas?'
'Well, how about Gryffindors?' said Lily, deciding to play along.
'What an excellent idea.' He said, snapping his fingers like it hadn't been his idea all along.
When they entered the centuries old chamber, James motioned Lily to sit on the foot of the bed and sat beside her. He pulled a small box out of his pockets and opened it; inside laid a shimmering white pendant on a fine silvery chain. The pendant was made of two vines shaping separate hearts at the top and embracing each other further down.
'James, why would you give me this? You already gave me a Christmas present.'
'It's not a Christmas present, Lil. I bought it right after our engagement to give to you after... after our first time together.'
Lily's eyes filled with tears as he drew the necklace around her neck and fastened the clasp.
(A/N, Sometimes I'm just a bit on the sentimental side, but it's not that bad is it? Reviews people, please?)
Bye, -xxx-ies Polgara.
Ps; I don't know if this'll work, it's a image of the necklace, just to give you an idea of it's shape mind you, I don't draw very well. If it went wrong and you still want to see her necklace, tell me and I'll e-mail it to you.
