Lily looked up from her book and slowed her pace so Mary could walk next to her as they continued her walk. Pausing in her step, she turned to face the other witch as her head tilted to the side and stared at her in confusion. “Um, nope? Were we suppose to be doing gifts this year?”

Mary let out a sigh at her friends answer. If it wasn’t Lily she had no idea who the gift could have been from. “No, no, don’t worry. I just, well, I got something but there was no name and I have no idea who it could have been from.”

“You’ve seen me on the quidditch pitch, Macdonald.” He began, referring to his very obvious skill. “I don’t believe for a second that you think I had none.” A knowing smirk grew on his lips, and her next comment about his looks caused him to tilt his head slightly. “I knew you fancied me.” He joked. 

Mary rolled her eyes smirking. “Now is that confidence or arrogance?” She asked with a playful look, raising a brow. The brunette kept a straight face, trying to keep the blush from rising to her face with little success. “Just because I can see that you’re good looking doesn’t mean I fancy you. That’s just wishful thinking.”

“Hey, Lily,” Mary called out trying to get her best friend’s attention and she quickened her pace to catch up with the redhead. “So, this is probably going to sound weird but I don’t suppose you got me something for Valentine’s day, did you?”

“You say that as if it’s suppose to be surprising. I think everybody in the whole vicinity knows this.” 

“And yet people keep trying.”

“Can’t teach an old dog new tricks, Mares.” He replied with a grin. It was, of course, not impossible and James was certainly not old either. “Pure, refined skill.” He looked rather proud of himself and winked back at his fellow Gryffindor alumni.

“We can certainly try.” Mary joked meeting his gaze with a smirk. “Wait, you mean you actually have some skills? And here I thought you were just relying on your good looks.”

To Mary,

Happy Valentine's day.

I know how much you like art, so here's the collector's edition of the Beedle and the Bard prints, along with a few of my own sketches that I thought you might appreciate.

“Have you even known me to listen?” James asked, a smile playing on the corner’s of his lips as he met her gaze. “It’s just out of character, Mares.” The wizard shrugged. “And don’t even get me started on learning lessons.”

“Well, maybe you should start.” She retorted smirking with a pointed look. “Remind me how you passed your exams again?” Mary asked teasing him with a wink.

“And don’t I know it.” James said, a light laugh leaving his lips. “I’ve been burned many timws before by youe Gryffindor ladies.” He shook his head, seemingly going over the many times she, Lily, and Marlene had told him similar things in the past. “You don’t half make a guy work for it.” The wizard joked with a smile.

Mary gave a simple shrug of her shoulders as she grinned at him. "Well, it's not my fault you never listened. Anyone else would have thought that you'd have learned your lesson."

“I don’t like being told what to do.”

      “In my defence, I only just woke up.” Caradoc spoke defensively, hands held up in defeat. 

“You do realise the time, right?”

“I guess I’ll just have to trust you, then.” James said with a smile as they made their way further down the street. “I hope you’re a good cook if it’s my last meal, though.” 

“I guess so.” She replied smirking as she walked by his side. “Oh, you don’t need to worry about that, I’ve been told I’m a brilliant cook. Is there anything, in particular, you fancy?” 

[themerrymacdonald]

James’ lips curled into a smile. “You best had.” He nodded, laughter leaving his lips. The wizard’s eyes opened a little wider and one could see the excitement that graced his face for a moment before an expression of uncertainty replaced it. “You’re not going to poison us, are you?” He asked, clearly joking. “Because people have tried and failed before, Macdonald.”

Mary shook her head giving another laugh. As soon as the male had heard her suggestion excitement could be seen on his face and the brunette had to admit it was adorable. She couldn’t help but laugh at his question. “I can believe that but rest assured I will not poison you this time around.” The witch joked with a wink.

“Not everyone gets the privilege, Macdonald. So you better make the most of it.” James said, winking at the brunette and allowing a light laugh to leave his lips. The Gryffindor alumni shrugged and met her gaze. “It’s nothing – we have plenty of space.” 

“I can’t believe how lucky I am. I will treasure every second I get.” She replied sarcastically with a small laugh. “How about I cook for you both tonight as a way of saying thank you?”

A smile grew on James’ lips as she pouted; he couldn’t help but chuckle. “I guess so.” The wizard moved a few steps away from the door. “Of course not. Never a boring day at casa de Marauder. You’ll love it.” He nudged her shoulder slightly. “Plus, you’ll get to spend every day with Sirius and I – I really couldn’t think of anything better. In fact, you’re lucky you’re a good friend because some people would pay good money for the honour.”

An amused smirk tugged at her lips. “Every day with you two? Oh, wow, I feel so privileged.” She joked though honestly she always did have a good time with the boys. “Seriously though James, thanks for this,” Mary stated with a genuine smile.

“I would hate for you to miss me, Shortstuff.” He let out an exaggerated sigh as if disappointed. “Now you’re just trying to hurt me.” He pouted and placed a hand over his heart. “A cute dog though. If not slightly annoying.” He teased wanting to see if he could get another rise out of her. “Now would you like my help or not?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, honestly.” She replied tilting her head slightly with a sarcastic smile. “Oh, please, as if you actually care what I think of you,” Mary stated rolling her eyes. “Comparing someone to a dog isn’t a compliment even if the dog is cute. And you can’t say that and then say I’m annoying too. You know what? If anyone is annoying it’s bloody you.” The which argued back crossing her arms at the male. “And, pray tell me, how exactly do you plan on helping?”

[themerrymacdonald]

“You’ll find I often do.” The wizard winked at the brunette. “Well, the way I see it you’ve got two options,” he began, meeting her gaze, “you let me smash a window and break in for you. Or you come stay with us for a few nights – your knights in shining armour.”

The brunette shook her head with a faint smile on her lips. Throwing her head back she groaned. “Merlin, how are these my only options.” She looked at the male pouting. “I won’t be able to fix the window until the magic is back and I won’t settle knowing that anyone could come in. So I guess that only leaves one option.” She reasoned with herself before groaning once again. “I’m going to regret this aren’t I?”
