'Congratulations, class of 1977!' Lily stood with her class mates, and grinned. Laughing, she took her cap off, and tossed it in the air. Turning around, she searched for James. When she located him, she shot him a grin.

James smiled at Remus, who stood next to him. Clapping him on the back, he grinned, 'Well. Its official, mate, we're grown-ups!'

Grinning Remus laughed, and nodded towards Lily, 'Ah, the woman with the red hair is smiling at you.'

Looking towards the front, James smiled at the girl, and mouthed, we did it!

Laughing, Lily grinned. 'Okay, okay. Yes, congratulations.' Dumbledore stood at the podium, a grin on his face and his eyes alight. 'Now. I understand there is a massive graduation party planned on the Quidditch field this evening.' When the recently graduated started to whisper, he laughed, 'Really. You all thought you were going to sneak something like this past me?' When the crowd laughed, he gave a delighted chuckle. 'As I was saying. Enjoy your evening, just remember. The train leaves Hogsmeade station at eleven sharp.'

Standing again, Lily crossed to James and grabbed his hand. 'Hey, graduate.'

'Hey.' James leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

'Come on!' Lily smiled, and started walking backwards. 'There are two people I want you to meet.' Lily walked quickly towards the crowd of guests and waved at her parents, 'Mum, Daddy. This,' stopping in front of them, she looked at James and smiled, 'is James.'

The older couple exchanged a quiet look, before Mr. Evans stepped forward. 'James. It's good to meet you. I see you finally succeeded in dating our little Lily.'

'It's good to meet you as well, sir.' Looking amused, James winked at Lily, 'Yeah. Turns out, we both feel strongly about Quidditch.'

'Is that how you ended up asking her out then?' Mrs. Evans asked a twinkle in her eye.

'Mum, not now.' Lily giggled, and looked at James. 'Um, well...'

'Oi! James, you going to help us set up still?' Sirius ran towards the group, and grinned. His gown was billowing behind him, and his hair kept falling in his eyes.

'Ahh..' James looked from the group he was part of, to his best friend, 'Actually, Padfoot, I -'

'Sirius!' Lily stepped forward and grinned at the boy, 'This here, is my mum and dad. You guys,' she turned back to them and smiled, 'Is Sirius Black, James' best friend.'

'Oh. Sirius, it's just lovely to meet you!' Mrs. Evans said, with a smile.

'Oh, yeah, you too.' He shot her a grin, and looked at Lily. Wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, he grinned at her, 'I see where Lily gets her good looks.' James and Lily groaned.

'Really, mate?' James laughed at him, 'That's the best you've got.'

'Stop hitting on my mum!' Laughing, Lily pushed James away. 'Go! You said you'd help.' The boy grinned, and leaned in to kiss her quickly. Neither saw the look passed between the older couple. Laughing Lily pushed him away again, and turned back to her parents, 'James and Sirius, plus a few of their friends, are setting up the bigger things for tonight.'

'I see.' Lily's mother smiled at her, 'Well show us around. This is our first time here.'

'Well, okay.' Smiling, Lily linked arms with her mother. 'What do you guys want to see?'

'Anything really, dear.' Smiling, Mrs. Evans ran a hand down her daughters head. 'I've missed you so.'

'I've missed you too.' Grinning over her shoulder, Lily said, 'You too dad.'

'I bet.' Mr. Evans tucked his hands into his pockets, and looked around. A bunch of owls were flying through the room, and the recently graduated stood about talking and shooting off fireworks from the tips of their wands. Muttering under his breath, he looked at his daughter, 'I just bet you did.'

'I don't care. Poor boy. What do you think, darling?' Lily's mother turned and smiled at her husband.

'Er.. sure. Sounds good to me.'

'Great! Thanks daddy!' Lily grinned and kissed her father's cheek. 'You don't think Tuni will mind; do you?'

'Oh she probably will. . . but we can't just leave the poor boy homeless.'

'Momma. He wouldn't be homeless. He technically got the house, when his parents passed. He just doesn't want to stay there alone.' Lily shook her head, and waved at Alice.

'Hm. Hello Alice dear.' Mrs. Evans smiled at the girl. 'Still, James is more than welcome to stay in the guest room. Make sure you let him know toni -'

'WHAT? Th - that boy will not be staying under my roof!' Lily's father shouted, drawing looks from the others milling about.

'Hush, darling.' Leaning towards her, Lily was pulled into her mother's arms. 'We must be off. The train leaves at seven sharp.' Sending a wink her way, she whispered, 'I'll talk to your father.'

'Thanks mum. I love you.'

Lily walked with Emma and Alice towards the Quidditch field. 'This is going to be awesome!' she said, with a smile.

'I know!' Alice grinned at them, and then waved to Frank. 'I'll see you all tomorrow. On the train.'

Sniffing, Emma grinned, 'We've been ditched. For Frank Longbottom.'

Lily laughed, and looked at her. 'Well, it happens.'

'Mhmm.' Linking her arm through Emmas, Lily grinned at her. 'Are you going to ditch me for Potter.'

'Umm. . . most likely.'

'What about me? I will be all alone!'

Laughing, Lily dragged her forward, 'I mean. . what about Remus, or Sirius?'

'Remus is way too bookish for me.' Emma laughed, 'And I dunno. . . Sirius is very. . . playboy-ish.'

'Says the full blown witch who's never seen a playboy.'

Emma laughed, and stuck out her tongue. 'Whatever.' Sweeping her hand through her hair, she grinned, 'I wanna do something reckless tonight!'

'Oh, yeah?' Lily laughed, 'What are you going to do?'

'Don't know yet.' With a shrug, Emma sighed, 'This is where we part for now. I will find you later though.'

Looking up, Lily saw James walking towards her. He had his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He was wearing a Gryffindor Quidditch shirt, and a smirk. The wind was flowing through his hair, making it more unmanageable than ever, but Lily just smiled and walked towards him. Throwing herself at him, she wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed his cheek. 'Hey.'

'Hey, Lily-bean.' James smiled and leaned down, he rubbed his lips against hers. 'How was your visit with your parents?'

'Good.' Lily shrugged, and smiled, 'I'll see them tomorrow. Mum says it's okay for you to use the guest room.'

James sighed, but smiled, 'I wish I didn't need too. I wish I could go home; to my parents.' Looking down, he saw the concern in her eyes, 'Sorry. Not good party talk.'

'It's fine. If you want to talk abo -'

'Lil's?' Tucking loose hair behind her ear, he smiled, and kissed her nose. 'I love you. But no, I don't really want to talk about it anymore. I don't know why I even mentioned it.' Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her close, and smiled, 'Did I tell you. You look wonderful.'

'Thanks.' Smiling, Lily closed her eyes, and started to sway to the music floating around them. She had taken a lot of time with her appearance tonight. She had on a light gold dress, with a wide red belt and headband. Her ballet flats were also charmed the same shade of red. 'Gryffindor all the way!'

'Wanna take a walk?' James asked, holding out his hand.

'With you? Anywhere.' Lily smiled. Holding his hand, they started walking with nowhere in mind. Shivering, Lily laughed, 'It's getting cold. Maybe we should head back towards the fire.'

'Hmm.' James stopped walking, and smiled at her. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a wand and a miniature hoodie. After he muttered under his breath, the miniature turned into the real thing. It was his Gryffindor hoodie, with extra designs. There was a snitch with a golden seven under it, and a small golden lily flower, but there were also four little sets of foot prints. 'There. Now we can stay alone, and you can keep warm.'

Smiling, Lily pulled the hoodie on. 'Thanks.' Standing on tiptoe, she pressed her lips to his. 'Do I look okay?'

James smiled, and pulled her too him. Running his fingers through her hair, he kissed her, softly, 'You always look great.'

Giggling slightly, Lily took the final step towards him. Her body was lined up with his, and she took a deep breath. 'James. . .'

Looking into her green eyes, James smiled. 'Come on.' He grabbed her hand, and pulled her between two trees. Right before her, there was a blanket spread on the grass, with a small fire burning a few feet away. Fairy lights winked in the trees, and the sounds of crickets and toads sounded in the distance.

'This is. . . beautiful!' Lily cried. Holding her hands to her mouth, she smiled at the boy next to her. 'I can't believe you set this up.'

'Yeah.' James blushed slightly, and kicked at the ground. Pulling her towards the blanket, he grinned and sat down. He gently pulled her hand till she sat next to him. James pulled her close, her head resting on his chest. Running a hand through her hair, he smiled, 'I am so happy you finally decided to give me a chance.'

'HA! Like I had much choice.' Lily lightly smacked his arm. Tilting her head up, she grinned at him, 'totally worth it though.'

Smiling, James watched her green eyes sparkle. 'You are. . . so beautiful.' Lily scrunched up her nose, and buried it in his shirt. 'Lily. . .' Lifting her chin, he slowly kissed her. Tasting her, he smiled against her mouth, and slowly pushed her lips apart with his tongue. When she moaned, and changed her sitting position, James bit back an oath, 'Lil's. . .'

Pulling back, Lily smiled at him. 'James, I want to. Now. With you.'

Searching her eyes, he gave a strained smile, 'Lily. I would love to. I - I just don't want you to regret -'

Crushing her lips to his, she sighed and smiled, 'Always the gentleman. Who would have known?' Pulling back, she smiled at him, 'I won't regret it though.' Slowly, Lily stood, and kicked her shoes off. With a small smile on her face, she pulled her dress down her body.

'Lily.' James said her name on a moan. Standing, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Under the giant willow outside of the Quidditch pitch, Lily and James became one.
