And to think I intended this to be less than 500 words...oh well. I hope you like Sweet, adorable, romantic!James Jewel because this is for you {Forever Noxer}

Prompts: Leaf & Throw a fit

Challenge: The character drabble comp & the if you dare challenge


Lily had been in the Library prepping for her upcoming NEWTs when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blindfolded her and promptly led her out.

"James, where on earth are you taking me? We have NEWTs to study for and we can't afford to be messing around! And why am I blindfolded?" Lily cried, NEWT paranoia was bringing her to a record high.

James chuckled, still holding her hand as they weaved through Hogwarts empty corridors- 5th years and 7th years were either in the Common room or the Library studying and all those that were not 5th or 7th year were hiding out in their dorms for fear of being snapped, shouted or yelled at by the devil-fide by the 5th or 7th years.

"James Charlus Potter answer me or so help me God I will not hesitate to throw a fit." She warned.

James chuckled again. "Patience, Lily, patience. All will be revealed in time."

"James..."

"Lils, please stop ruining my surprise. Really, no one likes a killjoy."

She couldn't see to be sure but she would bet anything that he was smirking.

She rolled her eyes but didn't reply.

Lily knew when they were outside as she felt the cool air gently kiss her face, and she heard the sound of leaves crunching underneath her feet.

She felt a strange surge of affection for the handsome boy whose hand she was holding, it was stronger then a 'crush' and definitely more than her usual 'like.' She was at a loss as to how to explain the intense rush she felt when James fingers lightly brushed her cheeks as they slid up to undo the blindfold, words couldn't describe the shivers than ran down her spine when he smiled at her, nor the electric shock she felt when he touched her.

It wasn't until she looked around and saw that James had set up a picnic complete with a blue peony, her favourite flower, in a vase in the center of the cloth.

She looked up and saw him run a hand through his hair and she smiled. The smile he sent back made her heart race a million miles an hour.

"Close your eyes." He whispered.

She did.

Lily heard rustling and was about to open her eyes when James gently covered them with one hand, and using his free ha d he placed something on her head.

"Open your eyes."

Slowly she complied, taking in everything about her surroundings before focusing her attention on James.

He was wearing a garland of leaves on his head, like a crown. She couldn't help but laugh.

Any normal person would have looked ridiculous, she knew she was wearing one too, but James with his sheepish crooked grin just looked absolutely Greek God perfect.

"You were talking about fairytales the other day, and how the beautiful Princess always have a handsome Prince, and you said they didn't exist in reality. So I thought i'd prove you wrong, you're my princess, and i'm your prince. See? We've even got the crowns to prove it."
He pointed to the rings of leaves all strung together that were sitting on their heads.

Lily giggled.

"I'd fight a dragon for you, battle of an evil step mother, rescue you from a tower and i'd always catch you when you fall."

He took a deep breath, Lily thought he looked like an angel.
"I guess what I'm trying to say, at the risk of sounding awfully cheesy, is will you be my fairytale princess?"

"I already am." She whispered as she leaned in to kiss him. It was then that the fireworks really exploded and Lily realized the feeling she felt earlier was love. Pure, unadulterated, genuine love.

Words were not needed for them to express their unspoken declarations of love.
