Dolores, girl, you put down that cheesecake.

“Seven years ago, Hogwarts received into its halls a set of very gifted and talented students, including the two we are here to celebrate today. While James, and his close group of friends, received instant recognition for their talent and mischievousness… or marauding ,if you prefer,” Dumbledore added, much to the amusement of James and his friends, “Lily was recognized for her quiet kindness, her bright smile and curiosity, and her instinctual abilities. She impressed more than one professor with her knowledge and ability to pick up the most complicated of spells quickly, but for the most part, she and her female Gryffindor housemates stayed largely under the radar.

“Things remained this way until their fourth year, when boys began to notice girls and particularly the girls of the Gryffindor house. It was at this point, I believe, it became difficult for Lily, pretty as she is, to avoid the attention of the young men that were now also seeking her roommates. And for Lily, there was one admirer that seemed inordinately persistent in his efforts to court her. Though she tried to dissuade his efforts, very kindly at first, it soon became obvious to both students and professors that this attention irritated Ms. Evans much more than it flattered her.

“Many young men would have taken the hint at that point; but you, James, are not most young men. Antagonistic as their relationship seemed, there was a lot more depth to both of them than what appeared. Sobered, perhaps, by repeated rejection, Mr. Potter tempered his efforts to win the heart of the fair Ms. Evans. And it was during this time, he went through a growth spurt of maturity, which resulted in several events where he demonstrated loyalty, level-headedness, courage, and nobility.

“It is around this time that Ms. Evans seemed to take notice of Mr. Potter, though she denied any interest in him for fear of teasing. But their friends and Professors were all a bit surprised to see the two of them speaking amiably, to see Mrs. Evans laughing at things Mr. Potter said, and to see Mr. Potter blush when Ms. Evans complemented him. Things were changing between them, and eventually there was a kiss, which turned into several kisses, and subsequently turned into what we have in front of us today: two people who are so alike, and yet so very different… and so very much in love. And what I admire about you two is something that I think the whole world could take lesson from,” Dumbledore said with a smile. James felt Lily step closer to him, her fingers twisting as she held her bouquet of flowers, itching to reach for his hands. He felt the same way.

Harry Potter as a teen comedy…

Now that was brilliant.

is our secret safe tonight
and are we out of sight
or will our world come tumbling down?
will they find our hiding place
is this our last embrace
or will the walls start caving in?
