Re: James & Lily
"And I love you very much for it," James agreed, leaning in to give Lily a quick kiss. There was something bothering her, he could tell, but he was also pretty sure she didn't want him to press about it. Not yet, anyway. Tonight wasn't the night.
James shrugged, grinning. There had been good days when they'd been stuck in hiding. It was hard to believe, sometimes, with everything that had been hanging over them, but some moments of sunshine really stood out against the dark.
"School, maybe?" He suggested. "Maybe afterwards, before everything got mad." In all honesty, it was hard to remember a time before the war. "Or our wedding was pretty fun?" he added, with a smile. Another bright spot in an otherwise dismal world. It had felt bizarre, being so happy in the middle of a war, but it had really been one of the best days of James' life. He couldn't believe his luck. He still didn't, sometimes.
As they clambered to their feet, James couldn't help but laugh, sliding an arm around his wife. "I'm terrified," he teased. "But I reckon I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. Come on."
And with that he steered her away from their table and across the club.
