"Who's Ron, again?" Lily questioned, figuring that looking for redheads would probably be the best bet. Not that it mattered, Lily had no intentions of interrupting her time with James.
"I still thank my lucky stars daily that Sirius didn't get up and object at our wedding," Lily deadpanned, wanting it to be a joke but finding a little too close to home to truly find it funny. It could have been a lot worse, that's what Lily kept telling herself. Much as she wanted to crack wise about how she should have just married them both anyway, she doubted James would find it humorous.
"I don't mind seeing what our son believes I'd be best at." She gave a one-shouldered shrug, squeezing James' hand slightly. The thought occurred to her that she genuinely had no idea what kind of job she was cut out for. Mother and wife weren't exactly marketable skills. Marauder wrangler was also a rather specific skillset. Thanks to James' parents, he and Lily had never wanted for anything.
"Taken care of Harry, tried to keep you and Sirius out of trouble..." She grinned impishly. "Would you really want me working with you? You wouldn't worry that I might ruin all your fun?" The mentions of creature relations and teaching both stood out to her as definite options, though.
"Too true. I suppose I could always ask Remus or Sirius to help me unwind after a stressful day," Lily smirked, keeping her eyes on James as she took a long pull from her glass. No matter how hard she tried to dissuade herself from feeling as though they got a second chance at their lives, Lily was starting to think that Harry was right and that she and James should make the most of their situation.
"Doesn't it feel nice to say that?"
