Who: James and Lily
When: April 5th
Where: St. Mungo's
What: Surprise for Lily
James stood in one of the abandon rooms in St. Mungo's, surveying the scene he had set. There was a small table sitting in the middle of the room with two mismatched chairs on either side. In the middle of the table sat a huge candle, pilfered on one raid or another, burning cheerfully. There were several other similarly acquired candles spread out throughout the room, giving the room an inviting glow. In front of one of the chairs sat a small bunch of daisies. It had taken James several attempts to turn a bunch of weeds into daisies, but he was pretty pleased with the results.
After making sure the room looked just right, James checked the tray tucked right inside the door. He knew the meager meal he had been able to pull together wasn't much, but for a guy who wasn't used to cooking at all, he supposed it wasn't bad, either. Besides, who didn't enjoy a good homemade (from tin cans) soup? The best part was the dessert, anyways. James smiled to himself and nodded. Everything was perfect. Now he had to go find the surprisee.
James practically jogged down the halls of St. Mungo's, excited to treat Lily to something different for a change. He knew that she was going a bit batty having to stay behind while he and the others were out on raids. His wife was definitely not one to usually sit on the sidelines. He wanted to give her something else to think about, especially tonight when he suspected she'd be worrying herself. He practically bounced into the room they shared, happy to find her sitting inside.
"Lil!" he said, beaming, "I've got a surprise for you."
