The Proposal

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Note: This in James and Lily's POV

Padma here. I really wanted to do a oneshot for Jilytober so here it is:


James sat nervously on his couch with his hand buried in his face and his heart racing.

"Oi, Prongs! Stop worrying about it! There's no way she'll turn you down!" Sirius said.

"But, Padfoot, she despised me until seventh year."

"But she loves you dearly now so stop worrying."

"Okay." James stood up confidently.

"Go get 'em, tiger!"


Lily checked herself in the mirror. James had said to dress a little formal, though she had no idea why.

Today she chose to wear an emerald green dress that matched her eyes and brought out her red hair.

A knock came at the door and Lily checked herself one last time before going to answer it.

"Lily!" James said. "You look…..stunning!"

"Hi, James." she kissed him in greeting. "You look even more stunning."

"Aww, it's nothing." James replied holding his hand out.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

They apparated to Hogsmeade.

"Why are we in Hogsmeade?"

"Because I know it's been one of your favorite places."

They stroll through Hogsmeade holding hands and drinking butterbeer.

Finally, James asks Lily if they want to sit in the park.

"Park? What park?" Lily asks.

"Well, they added a park at the top of that hill overlooking Hogsmeade."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay, then, let's go."

They sit on the bench in the park and enjoy a few quiet moments together. Lily feels James's heart racing.

"James, your shoe is untied." Lily points out.

James drops onto one knee to tie his shoe but instead pulls out a small box.

Inside it is a ring with a red stone embedded with blue stones around the rim.

Lily gasps as she suddenly realizes what James is doing.

"Lily, I have loved you since the moment I laid eyes on you on the Hogwarts Express and when you became my girlfriend, I couldn't express how happy I was. I know we might me too young for this but with the war and everything…." he trails off as a tear slips down his cheek.

Meanwhile, Lily is crying tears of joy.

"Lily, I love you so much that I can't put it in word but will you make me the happiest man alive and do the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me, Lily Evans?"

Lily flung herself at James and kissed him.

She finally managed to choke out the golden word:

"Yes."


Alright, that's it! But before I sign out, I have a few announcements:

1. We are currently in school, so updates are going to be slow. (I have the day off today so you might get a few updates)

2. If you are also a Percy Jackson fan, then you're in luck. We have one PJO story!

3. There are two people on this account and this oneshot was written by Padma. Yes, I do have a twin sister named Parvati.

4. Remember to follow us for updates!

5. There might be a Jiper and Percabeth story that I might post sometime.

Thanks for your support!

Peace,

Padma
