Chapter 6
Making Lily Smile
Lily and James both grieved for the loss of their family. As the weeks passed, James started acting more like his old self. Lily on the other hand, was still deeply depressed. Valentine's Day was in three days and James decided to do something very special to make Lily smile again. James convinced Professor Dumbledore to let him use one of the unused rooms in the tower so he could set up his surprise for Lily without being interrupted.
On valentine's Day, James approached Lily with a single white rose and a blindfold. James lead Lily up to the tower room. When he removed the blindfold, Lily gasped at the sight. The entire room was covered in red, pink, and white rose petals. Hundreds of candles were lit and placed everywhere. A fireplace on the opposite side of the room was low but gave off a warm glow. In the middle of the room was a small, low table with dinner on it.
After dinner, James pulled out a small box for Lily to open. Inside was a beautiful heart shaped locket with a picture of her parents on one side and a picture of them on the other. James took the locket out of Lily's hands and put the locket around her neck. When James faced Lily, she was crying. James wrapped his arms around Lily and told her not to cry, that everything would be all right. Then he kissed her tears away. Soon they were so caught up in kissing and the passion, neither really realized that their clothes were being removed.
James woke up the next morning on a rose petal covered floor next to the fire with Lily in his arms. James turned to look at her face to see if she was still asleep and saw that she was smiling that beautiful smile in her sleep that James had missed over the last month.
