I apologize for the delay, I said that it would take time between tje updates, but it was definitely not this long, but things have been crazy, but I hope you all can enjoy it all the same

It was the summer between Harry's third and fourth year, when Snape entered the kitchen of his house and found Lily sitting on the counter with some papers in front of her, he kisses her neck and goes to the stove to make tea

-What is it? -He asks, but when she hesitates to answer he turns to her curious

-They are forms to authorize an experimental treatment to be performed on James- He approaches and takes one of the papers and analyzes it briefly

-It's the same as the Longbottons were submitted, right?

-Yes, Alice is recovering well, Frank's still unknown

-What's the problem?

-I don't know what to do, that's a very important decision

-You are his wife, aren't you? -He says with a small smile

-I haven't been his wife in a long time and you know it

-I don't know what to tell you, Lils. That's a decision I can't help you

-I know- She sighs still not knowing what to do

- Have you talked to the other two?

-Sirius and Remus? -He nods- Not yet

-And Harry?

-Harry?

-He is no longer a child- He stops for a second- Okay, maybe he is still a child, but he is already big enough for you to at least ask his opinion

-No, I haven't

-Then there you go, talk to them first and decide later

-Sirius and Remus will want me to sign and Harry ... I don't know, but ...

-You know the risks and you were one of the people who knew him best, think about what he would do in this situation then- He walks away returning to the stove and finishing the tea he serves for both of them and when he turns around to deliver the mug he sees her signing the papers

-He would at least want to have the chance- She says taking the mug without looking at him

- Should I worry? -He asks after a few seconds in silence and she turns to him gets up leaving the tea on the table and passes her arms around his neck

-Not even for a second- She kisses him- Whether he gets better or not, I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you, as long as you want me

-Always! -He kisses her and they forget everything else and take advantage of the fact that they were alone at home to enjoy the kitchen table, again.

It was a quick process, in about two months they would already have an answer on how James would react to the treatment and she was rooting for him, it was not because she was no longer his wife, at least not when it really matters, that she wished any harm to him.

-How are you finding your first year as a teacher so far? -Minerva asks Lily the second week of class that she was the newest defense teacher against the dark arts

- So far it's going well

-And what is it like to be back at Hogwarts?

-Bringing memories and it's good to be close to Harry, even if I have to get away from the twins a bit

-At least you will spend the nights with them

-Yes, Albus was wonderful at allowing me to leave school at night

-For sure

-How are you with the hole thing with your father? -Hermione asks Harry

-I don't know

-How so? You can finally meet your dad- She says confused and Draco didn't know what to say to help his friend

-It's just that ... I don't know, I lived so many years without him that I think it will be strange to have him here now

-How he got there? I know it was during the war, but I don't know much more than that

-There was a prophecy that a boy who would be born at the end of July would be the one who would defeat you-know-who and the only ones who fit in were Harry and Longbotton

-You-know-who decided that the prophecy spoke about me and we had to hide, but they were betrayed and Voldemort found us, only my mother had brought me to hogwarts because I was sick

-When you know who got there he found only Lord Potter and tortured him until he told where Mrs. Potter and Harry were

-Of course he didn't say and when my mother came back she immediately asked for help and during the battle he was going to kill me, but my mother stayed with me, when he launched Avada Kedavra my mother tried to stay in front and sacrifice herself for me, but he hit me anyway, but the only thing that happened to me was this scar- He shows his forehead, even though he knew she had already seen

-And the Dark Lord was defeated- Draco concludes the story

-And to this day nobody knows why, but my ... father had been subjected to too many crucios to continue sane

-And now you have a chance to meet him

-Yeah ... -He says looking at Draco that he understood him more than anyone

-Do you already have a date to the Christmas Ball? -Draco asks sitting next to Hermione

-I invited Luna

-Luna? Lovegood?

-That is the one

-How did that happen?

-We were at the library and started talking when I saw it I had already asked her

-And is she allowed to go? Isn't it just for the fourth year and up? -Draco asks and Harry's eyes widen

-I need to go- He says and runs off making the other two laugh

-And have you ever been asked by someone?

-Yeah, Krum asked me

-Krum? The champion of Durmstarg?

-Yes

-Isn't he a little too old for you? -He smiles and she rolls her eyes

-No, and you?

-I asked Pansy, I would rather go with Daphne, but Blaise is into her and I couldn't do that to him

-You look excited

-To tell you the truth I would rather go alone than with any of them, but it would not go well

-Why?

-Because they are boring- He says making her laugh

-Hello, love- Lily says hugging him from behind and kissing his neck

-Hello -He turns his face and she kisses him

-What are you doing?

-Marking some papers and trying to decide what to do with the Weasley twins

-How so?

-They keep trying to experiment in my classes and if I have to give detention to them again I will end up without a cauldron for them to clean

-You will fix it

-Do you have a reason to come here or did you just miss me?

-I always miss you, but this time I came to talk about our Christmas

-Is it my turn or yours to plan the trip? -He says taking another paper

-Yours, but that was what I came to talk about, we won't be able to travel this year

-And why not? -He asks frowning at her

-This is the first Christmas since James woke up and I was thinking about taking Harry to the hospital

-Is he okay to see Harry already?

-He made incredible progress, he's just having trouble walking

-And the twins?

-What about them?

-Are you going to take them too?

-James still doesn't know about them

-It will be the first Christmas that the three do not spend together

-We will be back to open the presents in the morning

-Okay

- Aren't you going to fight? Not even be upset? Anything?

-No, as long as it doesn't happen every year for me it's okay

-I love you- She says and kisses him- I need to go, I also have papera to mark

-But you tell the kids- He says without looking at her with a small smile on his lips and she widens her eyes quickly before rolling them over and leaving

-Hey! What are you doing here? Don't you have a Quidditch star to entertain?

-Not anymore- She says drying her tears

-Hey! What's it? -He approaches

-Weasley, as always

-Didn't I already tell you to stop crying because of that weasel?

-I know it's just that ...

-What happened?

-I was having a wonderful night with Viktor, he took me to the garden and he was about to kiss me when that idiot came and messed everything up- She starts crying again and he hugs her comforting- I never kissed before and in the first opportunity I had he had to disrupt everything

-Hey don't cry! -He walks away and dries her tears- There will still be many other opportunities for you to kiss many guys still- He smiles and holds her face in his hands- But so that you know what to do when it happens ... -He kisses softly on the lips for a few seconds and then steps back and looks her in the eyes that were wide, but she soon smiles and he returns the smile and kisses her again, this time slowly deepening the kiss and she puts her arms around his waist , who was almost feminine- Come on, let's go back- He says when he stops kissing her after a few good minutes, she smiles and nods and the two begin to descend from the astronomy tower

-I ended up not asking what you were doing here?

-We were busy with more important things

-Is that what I should worry about now? Your suggestive comments

-Only when we are alone, those who kisses in secret kiss twice- He smiles when he sees her roll her eyes- But to answer your question, I was running away from Pansy, before she somehow came to the conclusion that because I asked her to go to the dance with me that I want her to be my girlfriend- She laughs and they go back to the castle, he leaves her at the entrance to the Gryffindor dorm and goes to his.
