Waking up on that warm summer morning, Lily sat up in her canopy bed.
As she stretched her arms and rubbed her eyes, the room came in focus. Her
usual, plain, bed had been decorated with white rose petals, golden
butterflies, and fairies that twinkled like the stars in the night sky.
Lily was taken back by the sheer beauty of it all. A smile came upon her
face as she saw a singe white rose, hanging on her bed post. Attached to
the rose was a small note.
Meet me tonight in the Commons Room after everyone has left.
Your true love,
James
Lily fought away her anger and smiled. "How did he do this?" she asked herself in shock. Reading the note over and over, Lily decided she would give him a chance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Waking up with the morning sun, James yawned and forced himself out of bed. Last night had been a late one. After walking back from the Shrieking Shack, he and the others made a stop at the House Elf's kitchen to put in a special request. The house elves were used to James and his friends coming in and they were always happy to see them.
"Oh, sirs! Mr. Potter sir, how nice to see you! Would you like some tea or some butterbeer perhaps?" said James' favorite house elf and good friend, Knobby.
"No thank you Knobby. But I do need you to do me a favor."
"Anything Mr. Potter, anything." said Knobby nodding her oddly shaped head.
James bent down and whispered his requests in Knobby's large ear as Sirius, Remus, and Peter accepted food and sweets of all kinds. Knobby's face lit up and she laughed and listened.
"Oh sir, she will not be able to resist you sir! Oh Mr. Potter, what a charmer you are." she said giggling with excitement.
James and his friends laughed as they walked back to the dorms. James knew he could trust Knobby to fulfill his request and was at total ease when he walked up those winding stairs to go to finally go to sleep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Because of her pleasant surprise that morning, Lily was in a great mood as she got ready for the day. She took extra time to fix her long, golden-red hair, and put on her nicest set of school robes. Looking in the mirror one final time, she smiled and slipped the white rose into her pocket. Down at breakfast, Lily looked around but didn't spot James anywhere. A little disappointed yet still optimistic, she sat down next to Alice and ate her toast. As the post came in, Lily spotted a gorgeous white, snowy owl. Lily rarely got any mail and didn't expect anything today. As the owls swooped down, that very owl Lily had just admired landed in front of her and dropped another white rose in her lap. She looked up in surprise and the owl stuck out its leg so Lily could untie the note. It read:
My Dearest Lily,
I do hope to see you tonight. Please come.
Always and Forever Yours,
James
Lily gave out a small giggle and smiled to herself, ignoring the questions from Alice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
James took his time getting dressed that morning, he wasn't sure he wanted to see Lily's reaction when she saw her second surprise.
"Prongs! Will you hurry up! We're going to miss breakfast and I'm starving!" yelled an impatient Padfoot.
"I no, I no. But what if she doesn't like it?" he asked shakily.
"James, she's going to love it. Now, can we please go get breakfast?!"
As they walked down to the Great Hall, James could feel the lump in his stomach getting larger and heavier with every step. Just as they made it to the massive doors of the Great Hall, the post came in. James looked around in the crowd and finally spotted her. Lily was just reading the card and James gave a huge sigh of relief as she smiled.
"So, how's it going?" asked Remus and Peter as they joined the crowd.
"Perfect." replied James with a growing smile on his face. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
