Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. It all belongs to JK Rowling.

A note to people who have read other stories I have written. This is just by Lily. Crystal didn't write any of this.

This is just an idea that popped into my head. So I started writing it down. Please read and review. I don't mind constructive criticism. I hope you like it!

Chapter 1 Proposal

"Hey, Ally. Is Lily there?" James Potter's voice came from the other side of the phone. Lily and Allison had made all of there friends learn how to use a telephone once they graduated from Hogwarts so that they could keep in touch easily.

"Yeah, I think she is. Hold on a minute, okay, James?" she asked.

"Sure thing." He answered. He waited patiently when he heard Ally.

"LILY! James is on the phone!" Allison called throughout their apartment.

"Lily isn't here right now, Ally. Don't you remember? She had to go see her parents. Something about where Petunia and Vernon should go on their honeymoon." Dasani Bradford came in.

"Oh, right. I forgot." Allison said. She put the phone back up against her ear. "James? She had to go see her parents. You could probably reach her on her cell phone. She's driving there because of the new law that says you can't apparate into a Muggle neighborhood." Ally informed.

"Okay, thanks, Ally. I'll call her on her cell." James hung up the phone.

"Okay, Lils. Time to get a hold of you." James muttered to himself while dialing her number on his cell phone.

"Talk to me." Lily's voice ran through his phone. James grinned. She always answered the phone like that when she saw his number on the caller id thingy on her phone.

"Hey Lil. What are you doing tonight?" he asked.

"Nothing. Why, James?" she asked. "Hold on a sec, Mum. James is on the phone. Yes I think Hawaii's a beautiful place for Petunia and Vernon to go to." James grinned. She sounded so in charge and professional.

"Sorry, James. Mum wanted to know my opinion about Petunia's honeymoon spot. Apparently, Petunia can't decide between the Bahamas and Hawaii." Lily filled him in. He laughed.

"Do you want to go to that new cinema? We'll catch dinner before it." He asked. She smiled, although he wasn't able to see it.

"Sure, it'll be fun." Lily agreed.

"Great. I'll pick you up at your place at 7 sharp. Wear something formal/casual, okay? I'm taking you to Olive Gardens." He said. Lily squealed. She loved Italian food and he knew that only too well. He also knew that she liked to live like a muggle sometimes and respected that.

"You spoil me, Jay. You spoil me rotten." She said.

"So? And I don't think your rotting. Your not rotting anytime soon. Because your my flower. And my flower doesn't wilt while I'm around!" James said.

"That's so sweet, Jay. I'll - Oh, bye, Mum." Lily was interrupted when her mum hugged her bye. "I'll see you later, Jay." She said while getting into her car.

"Bye, Lils." He heard Lily hang up and hung up after her. Now if only he could get to tonight without having a nervous breakdown.

"Relax, mate. You know she loves you." Remus assured him. The three of them, Sirius was there too, were at the ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley.

"What are you talking about? I'm completely relaxed." James said in an unusually high voice. Sirius and Remus raised an eyebrow.

"Sure, Prongs. Sure you are." Sirius said unconvinced. See, their friend here, James, was about to ask to end his bachelor days forever, but they knew it was for the right girl, so it was all good.

"Ally! Dasani!" Lily came into their flat. The two girls in question walked into the room where Lily was standing.

"James asked me to dinner and that new cinema tonight. He's taking me to Olive Gardens. I swear, he spoils me too much." Lily grinned at the last part. Ally and Dasani looked at each other.

"Yeah-He does." Dasani agreed.

"I think it's sweet that he takes you to your favorite restaurants. And he also takes you to muggle ones! He loves you too much." Ally said.

"So? Remus loves you just as much! Maybe more!" Lily pointed out.

"She got you Al-"Lily cut Dasani off.

"Don't say anything, Dasani, because we all know how much Sirius loves you." She said. Dasani blushed, remembering how Sirius had admitted it to her in front of the entire school during breakfast one day in their seventh year. The girls spent the entire afternoon like that talking.

"Oh my god, Lily! Do you realize what time it is?" Allison asked while staring at the clock.

"No, what time is it?" Lily asked nonchalantly.

"Dude! It's 6:15! You have got to get ready for your date!" Dasani scolded.

"What about you girls? You'll have to get ready for yours too!" she defended herself.

"I'm not being picked up 'til 7:30" Ally said.

"Eight." Dasani told Lily.

"Fine. I'll get ready." Lily grumbled. Allison and Dasani watched their friend trudge upstairs in defeat but then saw her brighten up. "At least I get to see James before you girls get to Sirius or Remus." She grinned.

"Talk to you in a few!" She said as she shut her bedroom door to get ready. Forty minutes later, Lily came downstairs ready to go.

"Not a bad choice, Lils. Not bad at all." Allison complimented.

"Thanks." She said. She wore a green spaghetti strapped straight topped dress that went down to her knees and white platform shoes that wrapped around her ankles. Her hair was let down with a simple clip in it that had a single white lily on it. Her face was void of any make up besides the shimmer eye shadow and the clear lip gloss that she had on. She had long earrings that had green and white gems on it. She had on a green choker and a bracelet on each wrist. One was green, while the other was white.

That was when the door bell rang. Dasani looked at the clock.

"Right on time, I see. Nice job, James." She said to the other girls in the room. Allison and Lily giggled at their friend's comedy act attempt and Lily went to answer the door.

"Hi, Lils!" James greeted.

"Hi, Jay." She grinned. He was wearing a sort of suit that could also look casual once that jacket was taken off. Lily stepped outside after bidding her two friends bye and closed the door.

"You look great." He expressed. She blushed.

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself!" she complimented. He smoothed out his suit to humor her and the two of them laughed. He leaned down to kiss her, which she gladly accepted and returned. They broke apart when a click was heard and a flash was seen.

They turned to see Ally holding Lily's camera in the air.

"Yes! I got it!" she grinned. She and Dasani high fived, grinned at the couple and closed the window. James and Lily looked at each other and laughed.

"Come on. I made reservations for 7:30" James said. Lily nodded. They got into his car and drove off.

"Name?" the waiter asked.

"Potter." James answered.

"James?" he nodded.

"Right this way." He led them to a table set for two. James pulled out Lily's seat for her and pushed it in before he sat down himself.

"Would you like anything to drink?" he asked. Lily ordered a sprite while James ordered a coke.

"How's things at the ministry, James?" Lily asked.

"Same old, same old. Dad's working to make sure no more people like Fruit get into the ministry again." Armagedon Fruit was the old Assistant to the Minister of Magic, James' dad. He turned out to be a man only in on it for the power that came with it and attempted to take over the wizarding world for himself, but ended up at the mental ward in Mungos. "How are things at Mungos?" he asked. Lily was a medi-witch and James was an auror.

"Things have calmed down since Fruit was impeached." Lily said. "No more people coming in to have curses taken off of them, or body parts put back on. Believe me, there's nothing worse than having to have to put an arm or leg back on." Their drinks had come and the waiter left with their orders.

Fifteen minutes later, their waiter came with their food.

But Lily's plate had something more on it.

"Hey, James, do you know why there's a-"Lily stopped talking when she saw he wasn't sitting in front of her anymore. She shrugged in confusion and decided to open the small little box that was sitting on the side of her plate.

Once she got the box open, her eyes clouded with confusion. There sat a little folded up piece of paper. She unfolded the paper to see James' familiar handwriting. She began to read the note.

To my Lily flower,
From the moment I saw you, I knew I was in trouble. Your
personality, your eyes, your entire being, was reeling me to
you, and couldn't seem to be able to escape. And as time passed
on, I didn't want to. I made it known at school that I love you,
and always will. I want to spend the rest of my life with, wake
up next to you, go to sleep with you every night, have a family
with you and more, if I listed them all, then I wouldn't be able
to get to my more dire point. I love you, Lillian Serenity
Evans. I would die for you and die without you. So, then,
there's only one more thing for me to do...

Turn around.

By now, Lily had stood up and a few tears had cascaded down her face. She put the letter down and a few more tears went down her cheeks. James knelt in front of her holding an emerald ring with two small diamonds on the sides. He took her right hand in his.

"Will you marry me, Lily flower?" he asked, looking into her eyes. By this time, they had the attention of all the occupants of the restaurant. Lily's eyes filled with tears as she stared at the one she loved so much, as he stared back at her with hopeful eyes.

With Sirius, Dasani, Allison and Remus who decided to have a double date

"Hey Remus, do you think James asked her yet?" Sirius asked his friend.

"I don't doubt it." he grinned. Allison and Dasani shared confused looks.

"What are you talking about?" Dasani asked.

"James is going to, or already has, propose to Lily tonight." Remus informed. The two girls gasped.

"Say yes, Lils." The two whispered as they looked out the window.

Meanwhile at Olive Gardens with our favorite couple

She nodded.

"Yes. Yes, I'll marry you, James." She cried happily, more tears spilling down her cheeks.

James smiled ear to ear. "Really?" he asked, hoping this wasn't all some dream.

She nodded again. "Yes. I will." She smiled as he shot up and captured her lips. He broke it off after a minute and put the ring on her left ring finger. He kissed her again and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. They broke apart to clapping. James and Lily looked around and saw the people around them clapping. Congratulations were heard throughout the restaurant as the newly engaged couple grinned. Lily and James were finished with dinner and were outside of James' car.

"Do you want to go to the cinema, now?" James asked. Lily shook her head.

"No, I just want to stay with you. Just you an me, nobody else." Lily said.

"Then we can go to my flat. Sirius and Remus decided they wanted to have a double date with the other girls, so they won't be home." James said. Lily nodded.

"Do you want me to drive or do you want to?" Lily asked.

"I will drive my fiancee back to my place." James said in an elegant manner. Lily giggled.

"Okay." She said. They drove off and soon got to James' flat that he shared with Remus and Sirius.

"Do you want some tea?" Lily asked.

"Would I ever pass up a chance to have your tea?" James asked.

"I guess you do then." Lily giggled again.

She went to the kitchen and put some water on the stove. James followed her, leaned against the kitchen wall and watched her as she got two tea cups, saucers, tea spoons, sugar and milk and put it on a tray. She took the kettle off the stove and put it on the tray. She took her wand out of her purse and levitated the tray to the living room coffee table. James followed her again. He watched as she knelt down and fixed up two cups of tea. Just as she finished, he sat down on the couch directly behind her and pulled her into his lap.

"James." Lily squealed in surprise. He grinned as he buried his face into her hair and smelt the familiar smell of fruits.

"I love you." He mumbled.

"I love you, too, Jay. But you have to let me go, otherwise your tea will get cold." She said.

"Fine. But your staying here as soon as we're finished with them." James said, unable to resist the hot cup of tea that his fiancee was offering him. She grinned and got off his lap. They talked and finished their tea. Lily took it in the kitchen and started cleaning all of the dishes that were in the sink. James, once again, leaned against the kitchen wall, watching her work.

He walked over to her and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. "James, I have to wash these dishes." Lily said.

"Leave them be. I'll do them later." He said.

"Oh, and how would that be?" she asked, turning in his arms. He grinned as he pulled out his wand and flicked it and the dishes in the sink. The dishes automatically started cleaning themselves. He pulled her to the couch and stuck his tongue out at her.

"Oh, that's mature." She rolled her eyes.

"You know you love me." He said, once again pulling her onto his lap. She brought her feet up so the she was curled up in his lap and rested her head on his chest. He put his arms around her protectively.

"Are you tired?" he asked her.

"Just a little." She yawned. They sat there in comfortable silence until James heard Lily's breathing slow down. He looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep. He shrugged and let the smell of fruits and her breathing lull him to sleep.

With Remus, Allison, Sirius and Dasani

"I wonder if she said yes." Sirius voiced his thoughts as the four of them headed for the girls' apartment.

"I bet you anything she did." Dasani said.

"Yeah. Why would Lils say no? I mean, she and James have been in love since the beginning of Christmas holidays in seventh year." Allison asked.

"I agree. She definitely said yes. No doubt about it." Remus agreed surely.

"Well, good night to both of you." Allison said, hugging and kissing Remus. Dasani mimicked her actions with Sirius and the two girls went inside.

"Let's go, Moony. Time to go ask James how it went."

"Right, Padfoot. I bet you anything we won't have to ask. It'll all be said in his actions." Remus said. Sirius nodded and the two young men drove into the night back to their flat.

As they entered the living room of their flat they froze. They were ready for James to be bouncing off the walls, in a happy-go-lucky mood, but not for this. James and Lily sat, curled up on a couch together. James sitting on the couch, and Lily curled up in his lap with James' arms wrapped tightly around her. The two of them were both sleeping with light smiles on their faces.

Sirius and Remus grinned as they saw the emerald and diamond ring on Lily's left ring finger. That sight told them everything.

She'd said yes.
