"Lily, I wish you would stop doing those missions."

"You always say that, James, but you never tell me why you don't want me doing them."

"Cause I love you!"

"I love you too. Why don't you want me doing Order missions?"

"Cause you might get hurt or killed or something!"

"Is that it? I never see you telling Sirius and Remus they can't do missions, and they can get hurt or killed too."

"Yeah, but-"

"But I'm a girl? So I can't take care of myself? I can take care of myself just fine, James Potter. And I wasn't alone, anyway. John and Paul Mitsukai were with me, and Paul's wife Natalie."

"Lils-"

"And I don't tell you you can't go on missions! I don't tell you you can't be an Auror! You're off on things like this twice as much as I am, it's your job for Chrissakes, and I don't tell you to quit!"

"Lily, please-"

"Don't 'Lily please' me! James, I'll be fine! Is Paul telling Natalie to stay back? No! Is Frank telling Alice to stay back?"

"Yes..."

"Well, that's just because she's pregnant now. But he wasn't!"

James didn't say anything, just looked at the floor.

"Then can we at least do the Order missions together?" he finally said, brushing his bangs back out of his eyes and looking up at her.

Lily smiled. "I think Dumbledore would let us do that," she replied and kissed him lightly.


Well, this is Lily POV. Woot. And it's Prongs writing this. And I finally finished it.

And it's special, cause ya know what? That was my first written kiss. XD Ain't it pathetic? But I like that the first one's a J/L kiss. Wheeeee...
