I am sorry I have not updated. We had a family emergency over here. Everyone is fine and it is over with and updates should come faster now. And now for the moment you've been waiting for. Onward to the Fanfiction)
James knew that once Lily had left the house that evening for her usual 'walk' that she probably wouldn't return until late.
He watched the time as it got later and later. He waited up all night and into the morning. She didn't return. He paced the living room's floor. A million things flew through his mind. The only thing he thought to do was go to Sirius for advice. He aparated in front of Sirius' house and pounded on the door frantically, fearing that as each minute passed he was that further from ever finding Lily again. Lily in a crumpled t-shirt and his pj pants came to the door. She looked up at him in surprise, but then it turned cold.
"What do you want, Potter?" She asked him angrily. He didn't think to ask or even ponder her angry tone. He threw his arms around her and hugged her to him.
"I thought you were dead. I thought something bad happened. Oh thank everything that you are alright and were untouched."
She pushed him away. Her face filling with anger.
"And you think waltzing over here and hugging me is going to make up for what you said, then you are wrong." Lily growled.
James' eyes widened. What had he said that had created such a rift between them?
"Um, what did I say this time?" James asked carefully, afraid that she would explode.
"That women aren't suppose to work. They are suppose to stay home and take care of the kids. HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT I WOULD JUST SIT AROUND WHILE YOU GOT TO HAVE ALL THE DAMN ADVENTURES?!" Lily screamed.
James could hear feet running down the steps and sure enough Sirius and Nancy came into view.
"Hey stupid! What's happening bro?" Sirius asked, slapping James on the back. Nancy and Lily glared at Sirius' actions.
"Lily, listen..." James started, ignoring his friend's silly smile beside him.
"No, Lily listen anything, Potter." Lily interrupted, her hands on her hips.
"LET THE POOR STUPID MAN SPEAK!" Sirius yelled, rolling his eyes.
"Sirius is right. I am stupid. Always have been. I let anything stupid in my head just fall out. And I'm sorry. I never meant any of that. I only meant that being an Auror is dangerous. And I love you. I don't want you getting hurt. I'd understand if you never want to see me again." James said, he turned around and started heading down the steps.
"James, wait." Lily said softly. Sirius and Nancy looked at each other and retreated into the safety of the house. They closed the door behind them, leaving them alone.
"Yes?" James asked, turning around to face her.
"I love you too. You are just stupid sometimes. That's part of the arrogant seeker inside you." Lily said gently, pushing a lock of his unruly black hair out of his face. James pulled her closer to him and kissed her softly, his heart thumped in joy that the fight was over once again. But he couldn't help but feel this was one of many that they would face together.
