A/N: The obvious belongs to the Queen

After hours of eating, talking, and snogging, James walked Lily back to her door like a perfect gentleman.

"Thanks for today, James. It was brilliant" She said, smiling and turning a lovely rose color.

"Anytime" He said, smiling back.

He leaned down and brushed his lips against hers. Even at the slightest touch, Lily felt her entire body ignite with desire. If he thought that she was going to let him off that easy then he was absolutely bonkers.

"Not so fast, Potter" she teased, lacing her hands behind his neck and bringing his lips to hers in a burning kiss. She took his bottom lip into her mouth, biting gently. He stifled a groan and moved his hands down her back, cupping her bottom ever so slightly. He moved from her lips down to her neck, peppering kisses.

But then-

"LILY IS THAT YOU? ARE YOU HOME!" Her mother yelled. They could hear her footsteps coming closer and closer and they instantly pulled apart. James counted to ten to attempt to relieve the tightness in his jeans before Lily's mother opened the door.

"Hi Lilypad, who's this?" Her mother asked.

Mrs. Evans was a tall and petite brunette, with shocking green eyes that matched Lily's. Her smile radiated warmth and her presence overall wasn't very intimidating.

"Hi Mrs. Evans, I'm James Potter." He said, reaching his hand out to shake hers.

"Well, it's very nice to meet you James." She said, perking up a bit. Lily had never brought a boy home before, especially one as good looking as James. As she observed James and her daughter, she started to realize how well they fit together. Lily inherited her petite figure and green eyes with suited her fiery red hair and big personality perfectly. James, on the other hand, was tall and masculine with hazel eyes, messy black hair, and gorgeous features. Seeing them standing on her doorstep reminded her of Barbie and Ken. She wondered if James and Lily were a couple, but didn't want to pry straight off.

"You too, Mrs. Evans. I was just dropping Lily off" He said

"Oh no need! Come in for tea! I haven't met many of Lily's friends anyway!" She said, opening the door wider and letting them in. It was then that James realized that Lily didn't tell her mother that they were more than friends, but he didn't get too upset about it. She must have had her reasons, ones he'd get out of her later.

Mrs. Evans led them into an island in the middle of the kitchen, signaling them to sit down while she prepared tea.

"So James, I assume you're a wizard then?" Mrs. Evans asked bluntly.

"Yup, my entire family is actually."

"How fun! Lily hasn't showed us any of her magic skills yet, but once she can we're very excited to see."

"You should be, Lily's a brilliant witch. Top of our class, prefect this past year, I wouldn't be surprised if she was named Head Girl next year." James gushed, which Lily nudged him for.

"Hey, you're not so bad yourself. James and his friends are the school pranksters, yet they all get really good marks. Plus, James is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and is a brilliant flier." Lily countered, making James smile like an idiot. He never knew she was impressed with his Quidditch and flying skills, and now that he knew she was, he had to try harder. He needed her to think he was perfect, just like he thought she was.

"How lovely!" Mrs. Evans exclaimed, "So what did you two do today? She asked, eyeing Lily.

"James took me on a picnic." Lily said.

"So sweet! You know, my first date with your father was a picnic."

"What a coincidence," James said. He hoped that Mrs. Evans didn't notice that James just admitted that they were on a date, but she did. She was secretly very happy. James seemed like a really nice guy, perfect for Lily. However, she didn't say anything because she didn't want to embarrass Lily. She'd have to have a talk with her later. They talked for another half an hour or so, until James said he had to leave because his mother would murder him if he missed dinner again.

"I hope to see you again, James. It was a pleasure meeting you!" Mrs. Evans said, giving James a light hug.

"You too Mrs. Evans."

"I'll walk James to the door." Lily said, getting out of her chair to join James. She escorted him out of the room and led him to the door.

"Your mum is really nice" he said.

"She seems to really like you"

"Well that's good."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, cause then she wouldn't get mad if I did this"

He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss. When they pulled apart, they smiled and hugged.

"See you soon, Lil" James whispered into her hair.

"I'll miss you until then" she whispered back.

"Hey, you never know what I have up my sleeve."

And with another kiss, he left.

Lily walked back to the kitchen in a daze. She didn't know just kissing could be this bloody exciting. She plopped down on a chair and sipped her tea.

"So, James is very nice" Her mom said, coming to sit next to her.

"Mhm"

"He seems like he's a good boyfriend for you" she said nonchalantly, sipping her tea and eyeing her daughter.

Lily coughed a bit on her tea and straightened up, "How'd you know?"

"Did you see the way you two looked at each other? It was very obvious. Plus when he accidentally let it slip that you two went on a date today, that just confirmed it."

"Oh"

Lily didn't entirely know how to react. She wasn't upset that her mum knew, not at all. She just had to let James know that her mum knew. She wondered if Mrs. Potter knew. So many questions!

Back in the Potter household, James and his mum were sitting eating a nice family dinner.

"How was your day?" She asked

"Fine" he replied

"What'd you do?" She asked

"Hung out with friends" he replied

"Have you seen Lily lately?" she asked.

"Yup." He replied

"Are you two finally together?" she asked.

"Yup" he replied. Crap! James wasn't planning on telling his mum that he and Lily were together until their relationship got more serious, but I guess the cat was out of the bag.

"That's fantastic! It's about time" she said, turning her attention back to her food. James did the same until his mum coughed a bit,

"Your father would be really happy for you."

James felt his breath catch in his throat. Talking about his father was still a bit of a painful subject, but the fact that his mum liked Lily enough to say that his dad would have liked her too made him 10x happier about their relationship. All he had to do now was let Lily know that his mum knew and everything would be fine. She gave him her muggle tellophome number or whatever that talking thing was called, and she said to call her later. And, at 11pm, he did.

"Hello?" Lily asked groggily.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" James asked

"James! No! It's fine! I was waiting for you to call but fell asleep."

"Oh sorry"

"No it's fine!"

"So, um, my mom knows." James said, hoping she wouldn't get too mad.

"Yeah mine does too."

"How does yours?"

"She guessed…"

"Oh"

"How does yours?"

"Accidentally told her at dinner."

"Oh"

"Are you mad?"

"No! Of course not!"

"Okay good."

The conversation stopped for a minute, the other not being entirely sure what to say.
"So, when can I see you again?" James asked.

"Whenever, I have nothing to do this summer. Besides Petunias wedding, but that's not a major deal."

"Tomorrow?" he asked hopefully, praying he wasn't pushing it.

"Perfect."

"12?"

"Awesome"

"see you then"

"Yup"

"Night Lil"

"Sleep tight, James."
