Summary: A dinner with family and friends.
After a long and invasive session with the Healers that morning, Lily should have felt exhausted. Instead, she was energized and excited, and couldn't stop smiling. The baby was fine. None of the dark magic from the hexes had affected the fetus, and there was no risk of miscarriage. And she'd feel even more secure about that after she saw Severus on Saturday. And, she was even more sure that they'd tell the others tonight. No reason to wait now.
The rest of the afternoon flew by, with preparations for the meal that evening. Roast chicken with mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus, and treacle tart with fresh clotted cream for dessert. Candles were lit on their new dining room table, and a couple bottles of fine red wine were breathing on the counter. It made for a nice, intimate atmosphere for dinner among friends, and Lily just hoped that everything would go smoothly, for James' sake.
At least they actually had furniture this time around, as this set of friends would be more likely to notice than Severus and Al had been. She'd had fun shopping in the last week, using her time off work to pick out comfortable sofas and interesting accents. She and James and made a trek into Muggle London to visit bookstores, and come home with several treasures, including something about a dragon that James said reminded him of Hogwarts, except they were metal. He was excited over it though, so she just smiled and nodded as he explained the plot.
And then it was time for their guests to arrive, right on time she thought as she and James went to answer the door.
