As the realisation of what was really going on hit her, Lily’s jaw went slack and her eyes glazed. He was proposing to her. He was proposing to her? He was proposing to her! Lily scrambled up from her sitting position, pressing her hand to her heart which was now attempting to escape her chest cavity. Her eyes darted from her boyfriend to the half chewed mess in her hand. This can’t be happening. Surely she was imagining it. James Potter didn’t have the decency to do something so romantic! When she’d imagined him proposing to her, she’d imagined him saying something like “Wanna get married” and that was it. She’d never imagined this.
“Lily?” James’ voice interrupted her reverie. “Lily-I-still-don’t-know-your-middle-name-Evans, I’ve loved you since the day that I laid eyes on you,” he started, pausing only when she scoffed at him.
“I have loved you since the day that I laid eyes on you,” he tried again, glaring at her. “You’ve lit up my world and I can’t imagine living a life without you. Lily, will you marry me?”

Dear Padfoot, Thank you, thank you, for Harry’s birthday present! It was his favourite by far. One year old and already zooming along on a toy broomstick, he looked so pleased with himself, I’m enclosing a picture so you can see. You know it only rises about two feet off the ground, but he nearly killed the cat and he smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent me for Christmas (no complaints there). Of course, James thought it was funny, says he’s going to be a great Quidditch player, but we’ve had to pack away all the ornaments and make sure we don’t take our eyes off him when he gets going. Lots of love, Lily
giving someone a piece of your soul is better than giving a piece of your heart. because souls are eternal.
she lives her life like a flame; a dance of purposeful chaos. her enchanting light can guide you and quell your fears. she’s hot; warming those who respect her and burning those who don’t… she is a flame with an unforgettable glow… a weak man will try to dim her luminance… but her soul mate will take pleasure in fanning the flame. – steve maraboli
