Lily xoxo
"James?" Lily called out.
"Hey what's up?" He replied walking towards the young red head.
"I was wondering if I could borrow your owl, to contact my sister, I don't think Mia would survive the trip."
"Of course." James took a step back then let out an ear-splitting whistle. Not a minute later thought a beautiful snow white owl swooped down and landed on his shoulder.
"Lily this is Dinkleman, Dinkleman, Lily." The owl hooted once before hopping from James' shoulder to Lily's head.
"I think he likes you." James laughed
"Uh good, but um little help please?" Still smiling he put and arm out for the bird to jump on to, but it just hooted again and turned its head.
"I think he likes it there better."
"Well could give this to him then?" She asked handing James the small letter.
"Sure, where's it heading?"
"My house."
"Ok." He replied then addressing Dinkleman. "Take this to Lily's house please." The snowy owl took the letter in its beak and took off with amazing speed.
"So Flower what are you doing today?" James asked using one of the nicknames that used to annoy Lily but she didn't mind it this time.
"I have no idea, maybe swimming or exploring this mighty castle." Lily exclaimed in a falsely brave tone.
James smiled. "Be careful I have heard there is a wild dog running around." He winked and turned walking back towards the house.
"James?" Lily called out running to catch up to the raven haired boy. "What is there to do here?"
"Anything and everything Lils."
"Ok let's rephrase that, what stuff would I like?"
"Well, I was going to change and go for a walk, do you want to come?" She nodded and he smiled. "I'll meet you here in ten minutes then? That is if you remember how to get back to your room?"
"Uh, up the stairs to the right?"
He laughed. "I'll take you, but you know I was quite disappointed, I didn't get my hug last night."
Lily smiled, "Come on or we won't have time before breakfast."
James led Lily through the winding passages, reaching her room he smiled and turned to leave.
"Oi, I thought you wanted your hug? But if you've changed your mind-." Before she had time to finish James was standing there. Laughing she reached up and put her arms around his neck, he responded by putting his arms around her waist and without warning he picked her up and spun her around.
"AHH… PUT ME DOWN!"
James laughed but set the red head down. "Well I'll see you in ten." He walked over to a door three over from Lily's, smiled at her and entered his bedroom.
About five minutes later Lily emerged from her room into the back garden, wearing the red halter neck, knee high dress Mae gave here. She walked over to a statue of two meerkats embracing each other and read the plaque:
"Emily and Joseph Potter."
"It represents my parents, both their patronesses are Meerkats."
"Ok you have got to stop doing that."
James just smiled and offered his hand to Lily. Taking it she smiled. "So Mr Potter, where are we going?"
"Some where I could not go before."
"Why couldn't you go there?" Lily asked cautiously.
"Because I had to have a girl with me to get in." Seeing Lily's confused expression he continued. "My mum designed a place that was meant to be amazing but to get in a boy and a girl must grab the handle at the same time, but it couldn't just be any girl it had to be a witch and she had to know the boy for at least a year."
"Wow, your mum came up with that?"
"Yup, she was a brilliant witch and very scheming."
"Scheming?"
"Well if you were told about an amazing room that you had to take a wizard to get into would you not take the first nice guy to try and get in?"
"No, I would wait for someone I really wanted to share it with."
"Ok so you are more morally adjusted than me, I, if she hadn't done the one year rule, would have brought the first witch I met with me." Lily just shook her head at this.
"Here we are." James stated indicating to a large stained glass door with the same doe and stag image. They both grabbed the handle and it glowed. There was a clicking noise and the door swung open.
The two walked in and saw the room was the size of Lily's bedroom and had stone walls. Looking around Lily noticed a big plush love seat, pictures of people all around the walls, a large fireplace and a small desk with a note. Just then a woman's voice began to speak.
"James, I am so sorry we didn't get to say goodbye, sorry that we didn't get to hug you one last time or even to tell you we are proud of you. Lily dear, from what I have seen and heard you seem like a lovely girl and we are glad you managed to see past James' idiocies to see the kind, sweet and loving young man he is. James, now you have entered here you can come and go as you please, you don't have to have someone else with you, same for you Lily. I love you both." The woman's voice stopped only to be replaced by a man's voice.
"James I am so proud of the person you have become, that is if Lily came here by her own will and you didn't kidnap her, not saying that what I expect but with your mothers personality in you I wouldn't put it past you. Now Lily if you are here on your own free will, thank you for making our son the man he is today, you may not think you did anything but he came home a bit more mature every year and after his mother found out about you they have been making you room perfect for that slim chance you would stay here, and that may not sound so odd but she first heard about you in James third year. Anyway we both love you James and Lily I wish we could have met but I still loved hearing stories about all the things you did to James, Sirius would tell." The man's voice stoped just as the woman's had.
