The confirmation that Lucius had been on his best behavior was a relief. "I don't think you really mean that," he joked as he peered at her playfully. Of course Lily meant it, and he knew it. She was a true peacekeeper.
James chuckled softly as he followed the pull she gave him. "You have most certainly earned it," he confirmed as he reached out for a glass once the table got within arms reach. He handed the glass to her and then picked up one for himself. "She kept me from hexing Lucius at a charity gala," he answered with a twitch of his lips in trying to conceal his smile. "And she threated to stomp on my foot should I try and ask her for your medical information while you're conscious and of sound mind," he added with a wave of his hand.
