A/n srry it's taken so long to post. I replaced chapter 8 I think it was with this one cause well it just sucked so here is the new chapter enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```````~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was Christmas eve and the Evans had invited the Potters over for supper. "This meal is absolutely splendid! Who knew that such good meals could be made in a muggle device" Mr. Potter said with delight. "Oh, why thank you Harry." Mrs. Evans said in response and dinner went on with little bits of conversation. When it was finally over James asked Lily if she wanted to take a walk. When they were finally out the door and walking down the street alone James started to talk, "Lily, we've been seeing a lot of each other and well I think that you're one of the best things to happen to me and I want you to know how much it means to me that you helped me get started in a muggle school." "James, it was nothing" she responded "No, but you see Lily, It was something. I never thought you would ever want to go out with me. I mean, we were always really good friends back in Hogwarts and I was always afraid to ruin that. But then we came here and we started going out and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me." "James." "No, Lily, let me get this out or I never will." He said quickly. "Lily, I love you. I have for so long I've just been to afraid to say it until now." "Oh James!" Lily exclaimed and jumped into his arms. "oh God James, I love you too!" With those words, James leaned forward and smiled as their lips touched, true feelings finally known. God, I cant believe he actually said he loved me! Lily thought as they walked back to her house. She looked over at him and smiled. "What?" he asked with that quirky trademark grin. "Nothing" Except you said you loved me! She thought after she had answered. When they walked back into the house, their parents could tell something was different between them and smiled knowingly. Petunia, of course, jumped to conclusions. "Mum! I bet Lily and James just had sex!"
