Unexpected

Chapter Nineteen: Not so easily

Harry couldn't believe his eyes.

There in the center, beside the bed where Lily and James were to lay, sat Fleur. Her long silver hair tied back in a beautiful ponytail which was held in place with a black ribbon. She was wearing her Gryffindor cloak with her night dress beneath, but seemed to have no intention to sleep in the night whatsoever. Her Blue eyes were sparking in the dim light and she seemed to have done something to her lips, as they were shining as though something wet had been placed upon them. Harry caught sight of something in her hand and bent down to look at it. 

Fleur seemed to notice this, for she immediately jumped up from her place and turned around to look at them. 

"Ah, Lily! James! And 'Arry! Sorry I mean Harry-" She looked at him awkwardly "-Old habits die hard. Sorry again, Harry. You people were almost late! I had started to worry that you wouldn't come!" She exclaimed, pointing towards the watch. Harry couldn't help but feel quiet pleased with himself as she said his name. What a wonderful name my parents kept He thought, even though he wasn't quiet sure if the name itself was wonder or the way Fleur said it made it extraordinary.  Lily nodded. "Yeah, soz Fle, didn't notice the time" She muttered looking around. "I might suggest you take a seat Lily" Fleur suggested "James, if you could please move to the right so that Lily could lie down and then you could join. Lord, you two look like you were the same since birth!" 

James grinned and stepped back in a gentleman fashion. "If you would please Madam Evans! The Queen might be arriving at any moment. I-even though I have no right to-suggest that you take a seat princess. Oh not to let your foot touch that sheet, it might grow flowers. Madam please th-" "James" "-is way. Yes, Oh Sir! Sir Harry what a pleasure to meet you! If you would please sit! I'd be quiet happy. Yes! Yes-" "POTTER!" "-Sure. Ahh...Madam Eliot!! Have a seat, Have a seat please. The ceremony was just going to be-" "JAMES POTTER! Shut Up!" "Say Please?" "PLEASE SHUT UP!"  "Alright, if that's what you want"

Harry rolled his eyes and sat down on one of the chairs while Fleur followed his lead and made herself comfortable on the one opposite to him. James helped a irritated looking Lily into the hospital bed and then sat next to her immediately. Harry could've sworn he heard him whisper 'better not waste any moments' under his breath. As though reading his mind, James looked up at Harry and winked who in return turned away from him and looked over at the wall. "Not so easily" He whispered, making sure only James could hear him. He frowned.

This is going to be a very long night.
