Theme # 8: Potions


"Have a good night, James. Lily."

Soanne Manderz, Potions Mistress at Hogwarts and member of the Order of the Phoenix, rose to leave. The moment the door had closed behind her, Lily turned to her husband.

"James?"

He looked up, from the fire. "Darling?"

She sat down next to him. "Is it wrong to be afraid?"

"Not at all," James said, his arms rising to hold her. "Quite the contrary, in fact. There can be no courage without fear, Lils."

Lily looked up, into his eyes. "Will we make it?"

James did not respond, only pulled her closer to himself.
