"The Epilogue: Otherwise Known as Happily Ever After"

"One more kiss!" James cried as he chased after a hysterical red head.

"No!" she shrieked as she barely escaped her captor.

"How 'bout a small peck?" Lily shook her head feverishly. "Come on Lily!"

Lily laughed as she ran away from James' grasp. She came to a stop as she stared at James, her green eyes sparkling with mirth. James stopped too, with a playful smirk on his face.

"You can't just get a kiss anytime you want, James," Lily explained.

"Why not?" he whined, and Lily laughed.

"Because I won't allow it," she said.

"Well, then I'll have to make you!" James exclaimed as he began running towards her. Lily shrieked and began to run.

"Gotcha!" James cried in triumph as he leapt forward and wrapped his arms around Lily's waist protectively. He pulled her towards him as he held onto her tightly.

"Now give me a kiss, or I won't let you go!" Lily struggled against James.

"No," she laughed. She was stuck against James struggling helplessly.

"I don't take no as an answer," James said. He leaned towards her with a playful smirk and a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.

"James," Lily warned giggling, "let me go!"

James' lips caught her in a kiss. Lily's giggling stopped as she responded to James. Lily pressed her lips against his harder as she began falling deeper into the kiss. His arms around her waist began to loosen as one of his hands played with her hair. Lily allowed her arms to wrap around his neck for support as her knees began to buckle.

"My innocent eyes!"

Caught in the moment, James and Lily both jumped away surprised. James annoyed by the sudden interruption scanned the surrounding. He reached out for Lily and held onto her.

"Prongs, up here!"

James glanced up towards the castle and saw his three best mates' heads hanging out the window. They were laughing as James sighed and leaned his head on top of Lily's.

Sirius did some wolf calls. "Get a room you two!"

Lily, standing in front of James began to blush. James picked up a rock and chucked it at his friends, purposely missing. The three marauders laughed as they retreated back into the window.

"Have fun!" came Sirius' voice, floating out the window. When it was certain that the three Marauders were inside and out of hearing range, Lily turned to James.

"Well, that was embarrassing," Lily said, slightly pink.

"Embarrasing?" James asked chuckling. Lily nodded. James draped his arm around Lily's shoulder. Lily tilted her head up to look at James, and he looked down at her.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure they won't make fun of you," he said teasingly.

Lily cuddled against him.

"I know you will. You're my prince charming, my knight in shining armor." James gave an appreciative laugh. Lily smiled back.

…

"You happy, Prongs?" Sirius asked James. The Marauders were in their dorm. They were all stretched out on their own beds.

"The happiest I've been in a long time, mate," James told him, sighing happily.

"You guys are good for each other," Remus said.

"I can't get enough of her. I just want to be with her all the time. I can't… ugh!"

"Oh man, he's going all mushy on us, Moony!" Sirius cried. James chucked a pillow at him, hitting him square in the face.

"You didn't just do that."

"Oh no!" cried Remus.

"Pillow fight!" Sirius and James screamed in unison.

…

The girls were sitting in front of the fire, chatting. They were in their pajamas, and Alice was braiding Lily's hair.

"How's everything going?" Allie asked as she leaned forward, placing her elbows on her knees.

"Me and James?"

"I want to know too!" Alice exclaimed.

Lily beamed. "Wonderful!"

"It's only been like two weeks," Alice said.

"I know, but there's something special," Lily tried to explain, "a spark."

"You're in love!" Allie cried as she leaped towards Lily. She hugged her feverishly.

"You're in love!" Allie sang. Alice giggled as Allie smothered Lily in a hug.

…

"Sweetheart, what are you doing?" James asked Lily when he found her in the owlery.

"Sending a letter," Lily said laughing, "that's what you do in the owlery." James chuckled.

"That's what you do in the owlery," repeated James, "how could I forget?"

"Let me just send this to my dad. Then we can go eat dinner!" James nodded his head.

Lily gave her letter to her owl and gave it instructions to go straight to her dad.

"Don't leave until he gives back a reply," she told it.

She saw the owl fly away before she walked towards James. James held her hand in his and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Ready?"

"Yup!"

…

Mr. Evans was fast asleep when an owl hooting woke him. He groggily rubbed at his eyes. He smiled at the owl. The owl only meant one thing, Lily. Mr. Evans got a hold of the letter and opened it.

Dear Daddy,

I hope you're feeling better. Are you taking your medications? Going to your doctor appointments? Daddy, please take care of your self. I don't know what will happen if I lost you…

Dad, you're right I took your advice, and something great came out of going to the New Year's Ball. Remember the guy I told you about, James Potter, well we're together. With him, I've been the happiest I've been in a long time. I'm hoping he could come over and meet you. You'll love him! I still haven't suggested to him to see you, but I'll tell him soon. I love you. Write back!

Love,

Lily

Mr. Evans smiled. Lily acted like her mother so much, and he was so proud to be able to say she was his daughter.

Now, I can't wait to meet this James Potter.

Mr. Evans chuckled to himself, but soon began coughing violently. He needed to rest.

I'll write to her later.

With that he closed his eyes.

…

Lily's POV

Many people argue that there is no such thing as true love, soul mates, but I prefer to believe differently. I believe there really is such a thing as true love. I really do believe life gives everyone a partner to love and to cherish, but it is their job to find them. I've found mine, James.

I haven't been with him long, but the time I've spent with him are special to me be on your belief. Maybe he'll always hold a very special place in my heart because of the journey we've been through together or maybe because he taught me something about myself that I couldn't learn without him there to guide me.

He taught me to love myself and to appreciate who I really am. He taught me to embrace the fact that sure I'm not perfect, but that people love me because of who I am, even with my flaws. With his love he boosted my self confidence and self esteem. With his love he taught me to allow myself to say goodbye to my low self confidence and embrace the fact that even though I'm not perfect, to him, I was, and, to him, I am his angel.
