Jily and Harry : Cost of Love

Chapter 37

It was Christmas day and Harry was ecstatic as it would be the first Christmas without the Dursleys, Harry jumped out of his bed and puts on his glasses, and hurriedly wore his kid-sized sleeping robes. He quickly ran to the joint door to James and Lily's shared bedroom and shook his father's sleeping body and told him "Dad! Mum! wake up it's Christmas, wake up! wake up! wake up!" as he tried to wake his father up. "James Harry's awake please take him," Lily told the sleepy Gryffindor groggily still half awake, James replied groggily saying "In a few years he's your son as well Lily flower, you do it" while he sleeps, Lily stirred but did not sit up as she was comfortable where she was and she needed more time to sleep. Harry simply pouted and pleaded, and said "Dad please," James finally broke as he sighed heavily and said "Fine I'll be out in a minute" before reaching for his glasses on the nightstand beside him, Harry cheered in success and hugged his young father before getting off the bed.

James carried his son after putting on his night robes he kissed his Lily flower's forehead and exit's the bedroom with his future son at hand. The future father and son duo got down the manor's grand staircase and head to the big drawing-room on the right side of the manor. In the drawing-room, there was a huge Christmas tree with beautiful ornaments and a huge glittery star on top of it. James got Harry down the floor, but as soon as Harry got down, he ran a b-line to the Christmas tree and hurriedly rushed to the presents, James simply laughed at his future son's cheeriness and wished that time would stop as he saw the huge smile Harry was wearing in his place.

Lily had gone down moments later with her nightgown and her robes, she said her greetings to her future son and husband and sat on one of the comfy couches in the drawing-room. Mallie one of the Potter family's house-elves entered the drawing-room with mugs of hot chocolate floating in the air and gave one to Lily, Lily smiled and told the little house elf "Mallie please there is no need for formalities please simply call me Lily and thank you for the hot chocolate your too kind" with softness and kindness in her voice, which Mallie ignored and told her "Of course mistress Lily." Lily shyly rolled her eyes and gave a small smile to Mallie and took a sip on her hot chocolate happily indulging the rich and chocolaty taste of her hot beverage. She glanced at the two men in the room and smiled with sadness as she counted the day's Harry would be sent home to his time, she quickly shook those feelings off her mind reminded herself that she had to be strong for his sake and make sure that her son's time here with her and James was precious for him.

People were slowly coming to the drawing-room, they simply sat there glancing at the child from their futures as he examined every present under the Christmas tree. Harry looked at his grandparents for permission to open his presents, which they nodded in response saying yes. Harry cheerfully opened his presents which contained a small snitch, some pranking products, clothes, and sweets from his father's friends and grandparents. Harry quickly moved to James and Lily's presents. He unwrapped the small present to reveal a picture frame with a picture of his young parents and him on Hogsmeade laughing, stray tears were forming on Harry's eyes, and hugged the picture frame tight and hugged it.

Harry turned to his parents and hugged them saying "thank you" multiple times. James and Lily were startled at first but quickly gave him a tight hug. After they broke off their little hug Sirius, Remus, Lily, and James got up and dove through their presents, and opening them.

After opening every present under the Christmas tree, they all made their way into the dining table except for James and Lily, as James grabbed her wrist telling her to stay, she quickly understands and stayed. James breathed her name and took out a small box from his pockets. he handed it to her and said, "Happy Christmas Lilypad" Lily smiled and opened the small box which contained a small intricate silver ring with small diamonds forming a small lily. Lily was shocked at James's gift for it looked expensive "James I can't take this, it's beautiful yes, but it might have cost you a fortune to someone who is as bland and ugly as me" she retaliated giving the ring and the small box back, which James shook his head and handed it back to her saying "nonsense you are worth more than any fortunes combined, and stop telling yourself those awful words you are the most beautiful and kind woman I have ever laid eyes on you deserve this" Lily shyly smiled at James's remarks as a creeping blush was forming in her face, "I don't think this thing would fit" she stated but was proven wrong as James slipped the ring through her ring finger with such ease "as you were saying my flower" James teased which Lily smiled with her eyes rolling to the other direction.

James and Lily were about to leave when suddenly, a mistletoe formed right above them. James and Lily blushed at this and slowly inched closer till their lips met. After a good minute, stray tears were forming they parted from their little snogging session and breathed some air from their lungs before joining the rest of their family in the dining room for Christmas day breakfast.
