Authors Note: Hey Hey! Sorry it has been so long since I've posted.. well.. Not too long. But still. These past few weeks have been hectic because I've had exams and yearbook stuff I've had to done, but now I'm down to 1 exam left, and I had the urge to write a chapter so I did. I also wrote a one-shot song fiction called "Not Myself" with the song Not Myself by John Mayer, and it is based on Draco and Hermione so that was fun. You see, my sister is a huge fan of that pairing, so I just went with it and wrote that little one-shot. Please read and review it for me. Anyways. This is the next chapter, please enjoy! (P.S. a lot of snuggling or cuddling in this chapter.. lol)
Disclaimer: I don't own this stuff.. cept for my characters.. aight? OKAY! Lets go!

Meeting MelissaLily snuggled up to James on the couch in front of the fire in the Head's common room. James grinned as he felt her try to get closer. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Lily smiled into his chest. James, feeling her smile, smiled too.
"James?" she said after a while.
"Yes flower?" he replied.
"I love you." She said looking up at him.
"I love you too." He said kissing her lightly. She snuggled back into him.
"James.." she mumbled a few moments later.
"Yeah flower?"
"I'm gunna miss you over Christmas."
"You wont have to miss me." He said. She looked up at him, confused.
"Why is that?"
"I got an owl from home. My brother-in-law is afraid Christmas will be lonely, so he told me to invite friends for Christmas."
"Are you inviting me for Christmas?" she said.
"No. I'm telling you. You're coming." He paused. "You don't happen to have a corset do you?" he asked.
"No, why?"
"Dinners at the Potter Mansion, aren't that formal. But for the big bash at New Years, there will be some Ministry officials there and everything is very… old fashioned here in the wizarding world."
"Oh. I'm sure I could go buy one." She said. He nodded and she snuggled into him some more.
"Goodnight Flower." Said James.
"Goodnight."
~*~*~*~*~*~
James looked down at the sleeping figure in his arms. Lily had snuggles into him on the train ride to King's Cross, so he put his arms around her, pulling her closer, and let her sleep.
"Prongs, your turn." Said Sirius. They were playing a game of Wizard's chess. James looked at the board.
"Knight to G5." He said and his knight moved. He grinned. "Checkmate." Sirius groaned.
"Damn it Prongs!" James laughed. "Four times in a row."
"Yup." He looked down at the sleeping figure in his arms again.
"You really do love her, don't you?" asked Sirius.
"Padfoot, I don't think I've ever cared more for one person." James looked at Sirius.
"Never let her go mate. Never let her go."
"I don't ever plan on it." James kissed the top of Lily's head. 'Never.' He thought. 'Never will I let you go." Sirius smiled at the sight in front of him. Lily and James were in love and nothing could change that. He glanced over at his girlfriend who was talking to Remus and he smiled. Leaning back, he closed his eyes. Time for a nap.
~*~*~*~*~
"Oh. My. God." Said Lily as they arrived at the Potter Mansion.
"Welcome Miss Lily. To the Potter Mansion." Said James as the limo drove through the gates.
"Bloody hell." The limo pulled up in front of the house and the driver came around to open the door. James stepped out first.
"Welcome home Master Potter." Said the driver. James handed him a few galleons and nodded for him to grab the keys. James then helped Lily step out of the limo, the rest of the gang following her.
Lily gasped as she stared up at the house. It was most definitely a mansion. From what she could see from this view, the house was huge. The front door sat right in the middle of the wall she was seeing and the house was painted entirely white. There were windows everywhere and Lily could have never imagined a bigger house.
"Damn. My boyfriend lives the high life." Said Lily.
"No. Your boyfriend and his buddy Padfoot live the high life." Said Sirius. Lily laughed.
"That we do." Said James. Just then, a little girl, whom Lily recognized as the girl from the train station, came running outside.
"Uncle Jamie!" she screamed and ran into his arms. Lily watched as James' face brightened as he scooped Melissa into his arms. "I missed you Jamie." The little girl said.
"I missed you too." He said and kissed her on the nose, which in return she giggled. Melissa then noticed everyone else.
"Hello Uncle Padfoot." She said to Sirius.
"Why hello to you too mini-marauder." He replied. Melissa spotted Lily and jumped out of James' arms and ran to Lily.
"And you must be Lily." She said. "Red hair. Beautiful emerald eyes." She smiled. "Yup. Just like James described. He's told me about you."
"Oh really. And what has James said?" Lily asked in return.
"Don't worry Miss Lily. Good stuff. About how much he loves you. How perfect and beautiful you are." Lily blushed.
"Well thank you." She said. Melissa looked up at Lily.
"Up?" she asked. Lily nodded and picked her up. James walked over and stood next to Lily.
Sirius, Sarah and Remus looked on.
"Awwww." Said Sarah. "They look so cute."
"Yeah I mean, seeing them standing there with a little girl. It just looks right." Said Remus.
"It-t-s so b-b-beautiful." Said Sirius, fake crying and wiping fake tears of his face with his hand. Remus and Sarah laughed. James and Lily were just meant to be.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Melissa held onto Lily's hand as she took Lily on a tour of the Potter Mansion. Melissa had only known Lily for the littlest amount of time and already she adored her.
"This is my room." Said Melissa pointing to a room. "That's my bathroom. Its huge!" she pointed to another. "That's my playroom with all my toys." They walked further down the hall. "This is my old nursery. My mum used to watch over me when I was a baby in this room. I don't want to change it." They continued down the hall and Melissa pointed out different rooms. Libraries (about 4 in total, different rooms for different types of books.), bathrooms, bedrooms, music rooms, and entertainment rooms. Rooms of all kinds were in this house. Melissa ended up bringing Lily to one of the entertainment rooms where James and everyone else were lounging around.
"Here you go James. You can have Lily back. I have to go take my bath." Melissa gave Lily a hug and whispered 'Don't ever let him go.' In Lily's ear and ran off. Lily laughed.
"What'd she say?" asked James.
"Nothing really. Let's watch a movie."
~*~*~*~*~*~
On the days leading up to New Years, Lily spent most of her time either with James or with Melissa. Melissa was a wonderful little girl and Lily felt some sort of connection to her. Things for Lily and James were going quite well.
~*~*~*~*~*~
It was just after midnight, two nights before New Years Eve, and Lily was lying in-between James' legs, her back against his chest, on his bed. His arms were wrapped around her and he was leaning back against the headboard.
"So you like Melissa?"
"She's adorable James. When I have kids, I want one just like her."
"Are you trying to tell me something?" he teased.
"No. I was just saying." She said.
"Well you said you want one just like her. And you do realize she has Potter blood in her right?" he asked.
"True. What are you getting at James?"
"Well to get one just like her, you will need Potter blood in her. Care to start?"
"James!" she cried.
"I'm kidding."
"You better be." Things were quiet for a few minutes.
"I love you flower." James said, breaking the silence.
"I love you too." Summoning a blanket (A/N I realize you cant use magic out of school, but James is 17 so he is allowed to.), James covered himself and Lily and closed his eyes, his arms tightly wrapped around Lily, never wanting to let her go.
~*~*~*~*~
James woke up to the sound of giggling and slowly opened his eyes. He was lying in bed, but instead of the position he and Lily were in last night, he was lying down on the bed, and Lily was lying next to him, but with her head on his chest and their legs were intertwined. He glanced over to his other side and saw Melissa standing there giggling.
"Morning Jamie. Sleep well?" she asked, giggling some more.
"Come 'ere you!" he said and picked her up. She started giggling some more, waking Lily up.
"Oops. Sorry for giggling too loud Lily."
"It's alright. I had to wake up soon enough."
"No. Go back to sleep. The both of you. I didn't meet to wake you." She kissed them both on the cheek, giggled, and jumped off the bed, running out of the room. Lily shook her head and looked at James.
"Morning." She said.
"Morning." He leaned down and gave her a kiss. "Sleep well?" he asked.
"Very." She replied. Snuggling back into him, she went back to sleep. James laughed and went back to sleep as well. Not caring that the clock read 10:30 in the morning.
