Chapter 5: Easter at Evans'
"What!?!"
Everyone was back and, at the sight of Lily's new hand ornament, the interrogation began.
"Well, we had lunch, and then, James purposed to me!"
Lily had never looked happier. She simply couldn't stop smiling. She was going to marry James Potter.
Her two friends were hugging her. They all began crying tears of joy.
As for James, he had multiple congratulations flying at him from his two best friends. They were totally thrilled for him.
Everyone noticed the change. Any time classes called for pairing, James and Lily were already sitting together. They we now joined at the hip.
Soon, yet another holiday neared: another where you could go home for a week. Easter was around the corner. They knew that it would be another round of fun.
Lily invited them home for the Easter break. They knew she had made more plans for them during the week's vacation. They awaited the departure anxiously. They looked forward to more fun and swimming.
Then, it came: vacation. They all took the train home to Lily's.
They got in the Evans residence. They said "hello" and went up stairs. Once their bags were brought into Lily's room and she vanished her bed and conjured 3 love seats, they sped down stairs and straight to the pool and dove in. Some things would just never change.
Her mother walked over to the pool and stood still.
"What is the meaning of this?" She didn't scream, just asked as softly as possible.
"You see, mom, it started at Christmas. I, well, we girls fell in. We sorta slipped. The guys were kind enough to dive in to help us. Now it's kind of our thing." She just stayed smiling until her mom did, too, and left.
"Phew!" was all James could say, but Lily just turned his head with her hand and began snogging with his again.
Supper was rather quiet until Lily spoke up. "Mom?" She looked to James for reassurance. He held her hand tightly. "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"What's that, dear?"
"It's-ah-well, it's- Mom, your future son in law is having supper with us right now!"
Her parents' forks fell.
"Are you serious?"
"You know, I would love if someone know I was me!" Padfoot cried.
Lily held up her hand to reveal the silver ring with the shining emerald.
Her father sat stalk still. Her mother, however, ran to her and hugged her for a moment. Lily wasn't sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing, until her mother spoke up.
"Oh, honey. I'm so happy for you!" She then, in turn, pulled James into a large hug.
"You take good care of her, Mt Potter."
"Trust me, Mrs. Evans. I'd rather die than hurt Lily. Or let anyone else for that matter!" Lily was tearing again.
"Well, dears, I hope you wait, but I give you my blessing!"
"As do I!" her father spoke up at last. "Potter, take care of my girl. If you don't, I swear to you-"
"Dad!" Lily smiled. She also blushed.
They all spent their last day in the pool. Lily and James were the most comfortable. The others were too, just not as much.
Finally, the day came to leave.
Back at school, preparations for the tests kept them all very busy. By the time their graduation came around, they had sent out all the wedding invitations. The gowns were ready and all the plans were made.
So it was. Lily and James joined together in Holy Matrimony 2 weeks after school ended. By then, they had both turned 19. They had a beautiful wedding, a gorgeous reception and they rode off into the sunset on James' broom. Life was perfect!
