Christmas Surprise

  Lily Evans sighed; being home for the holidays had it’s up and down sides. One of the up sides was she could see her mother and father, have some of her mother’s famous cooking and she could enjoy some time off from studying for the N.E.W.T.S. There were more down sides this year though. One, Petunia ignored her more than ever, two she couldn't see her friends, and finally Christmas break meant no James Potter.

James Potter an interesting topic. The two had been made the heads this year to both their surprise, they actually got along surprising everyone, even themselves. Lily was falling for him and she had a feeling he knew it too. She remembered the eleven things her father always told her as a small girl.

1)Find the guy that calls you beautiful instead of hot,

James had never once called Lily hot always adorable, cute, or beautiful.

2) Who calls you back when you hang up on him,

He had gotten a muggle phone just to talk to her. He called yesterday and fought about the littlest thing; she got mad and hung up on him. He called her back as soon as he knew how.

3) Who'll lay under the stars for hours and listen to your heart beat.

Lily loved to sneak out of the castle on clear nights and look up at the stars James had joined her this year. She got cold and cuddled close to him and she just listened to the calming sound of his heartbeat.

4) Or will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

When James thought Lily was asleep he would sneak into her room and watch her sleep. Lily caught him a couple of times when he fell asleep in the chair next the bed.                                              

5) Wait for the guy that will kiss your forehead,                                          

In fifth year after her fight with Severus, James sat with her for hours and held her while she cried. He had the opportunity to kiss her but he bent down and kissed her forehead and promised everything was going to be fine.

6) Who keeps your picture in his wallet,

He had a picture of them from the fifth year incident when they both fell asleep in each other’s arms he always kept it in his pocket.

7) Who wants to show you off to the world even when you’re in sweatpants,

He would almost drag Lily in the morning to breakfast with her still in her sweats saying she looked adorable.

8) Who holds your hand in front of all his friends,

After the incident in fifth year he held Lily's hand in front of his friends for a week before going back to his arrogant ways.

9) Who thinks you’re beautiful without makeup,

He thought she looked beautiful without the makeup Tuny gave her for Christmas first year.

10) One who is constantly telling you of how much he cares and how is lucky to have you,

Ever since fourth year he said he was in love with her. He hexed Severus after calling her a mudblood. *shudders* she hated that word.

11) THE one who turns to his friends and says THAT'S HER!

He would tell his friends 'That's her, that's the one! She is my soul-mate."

James Potter, Lily Potter. The name was growing on her. She was too lost in thought to hear Petunia knock on her door.

"What are you doing in here Freak? Dinner is ready. None of your kind of talk Vernon's here and your freak talk  creeps him out." She hissed. Lily groaned he, Vernon Dursley, hated Lily with a passion.
