Happily Ever After Just Took Time

Disclaimer: You mean I don't own anything???? ::sobs hysterically:: Why must you do this to me? WHY?!?

Summary: On first chapter, if you must know.

I've got a funny feeling,

The moment that your lips touched mine. 

Something shot right through me,

My heart skipped a beat in time.

There's a different feel about you tonight,

It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things.

I even think I saw a flash of light,

It felt like electricity.

You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This—Toby Keith

Chapter Three: The Moment Your Lips Touched Mine

“Lily! I haven't seen you in a while!” Alice Longbottom exclaimed when she walked in the door. “Guess what?”

“What?” Lily asked after she put her coat up.

“I found out that I'm pregnant too! Ours is due when yours is! They can go to school together!”

“That's great!” Lily said, trying to be like her future self.

“I know! I just hope ours is in Gryffindor. I know your baby will be, what with you and James being his parents.”

“What are you talking about? You and Frank will definitely have a baby Gryffindor,” Lily said reassuringly. “I mean, you were Head Girl when I was prefect, and Frank himself was a Gryffindor prefect.”

“Yeah, I suppose you're right,” Alice said, convinced.

“Are you hungry?” Lily asked.

“I thought you'd never ask,” Alice said, running in the direction of the kitchen.

James was in there with Sirius and Remus.

“Oh and here's another one. You can find his wand, snap it, bury it, and tell him Malfoy did it,” Sirius was saying. “How about this one? You pinch him, and make sure he squeals.” James was in a fit of laughter.

“Has anyone seen Frank? I want him to make those cherry tarts he made for me this morning. You really have to try them, Lily,” Alice added.

“And what's that about his middle name? Marvolo! What is that? A Muggle washing detergent?” James laughed.

“Ahem,” Lily said, tapping her foot. “We're hungry,” she pouted.

“You just ate five—okay,” James said, trying not to make Lily mad at him. Well, madder than she already was about this whole into-the-future thing.

He conjured up some chocolate frogs, and she ate them greedily.

“Wow, I didn't know someone could eat that fast,” Remus whispered to Sirius, who sniggered. James sent a death glare their way. He didn't need her to be angry at everyone.

“Mmm, are those chocolate frog wrappers?” Molly came into the kitchen. “Do you have any sugar quills?” she asked, getting out her wand. “Ah, here we go.” She gave some to Lily and Alice, who then said they had to go to the bathroom.

“No! I really have to go!”

“But I really, really have to go!”

They pushed each other, until Lily actually bit Alice's hand, and Alice pulled Lily's hair. James and Frank had to pull them apart.

“Ladies, there are three bathrooms!” Frank said, holding his wife down.

“I call Molly and Arthur's!” Lily said, trying to get out of James' arms. James did the only thing he could do—kiss her.

When his lips met hers, an electrical shock when through him. Lily didn't even try to break the kiss, she just gave in. Her arms wound up around his neck, and his hands on the small of her back. Every touch was filled with heat.

“Merlin, get a room,” Sirius said, somewhere behind them.

James realized that they were blocking the stairwell, and quickly moved him and Lily out of the way. Lily was just staring at him, with her fingertips pressed to her lips. “Did you feel that too?” she whispered.

“If you mean the shock, yes,” he whispered back.

“I still have to go to the bathroom,” she told him.

“Oh, yeah.” He let her go, and she walked to the bathroom slowly.

“So, Prongs! How's Godric's Hollow this week?” Remus asked, pulling James of the floor.

“Godric's Hollow?” James asked.

“The village you live in! What's the matter with you?” Sirius asked.

“I believe nothing is wrong with Mr. Potter.”

Albus Dumbledore had arrived at the Burrow. “Nor with Godric's Hollow. Everything there is just fine. Lemon drop?” He held out a small bag full of little yellow candies. “They are quite delicious.”

“No thank you, Albus. I'd rather eat dung. I hate lemons,” Remus said, his nose scrunched up.

“As, yes. I remember in your second year, James here and Sirius gave you a rather—enchanted lemon to make you walk around, saying stuff you would rather not say. Luckily, I saved you from saying anything, well, disturbing,” Albus said.

“You got that right,” Lily said. She had been listening.

“We wouldn't want anyone to know your secret,” she said.
