Lily nodded, bright and happy. She had bolted straight after Riley, wanting to make sure her best friend was ok, but also to make sure she looked alright as well. She was quite sure she had slopped soup all down her shirt at one point, and didn't want to make a poor impression upon the Potters by it soaking through. Sure enough, as she peered down it, her face lit up red and she plucked a noodle from her bra. Tugging up her shirt, she took it all the way off and then dug into her bag, getting a clean one and pulling it on. She then quickly ran a brush through her hair and pulled it back out of her face into a pony tail. She moved up behind Riley and hugged her tightly, kissing her cheek, as though to tell her it would all be alright. They could be nervous and anxious all they wanted, the Potters seemed very nice so far.<br/><br/>Upon the call of hot chocolate, Lily took Riley's hand in her's and led her out and down to the living room, shooting her a reassuring smile. They would be just fine. Somehow, just somehow, she knew this already.<br/>Tom laughed, passing by his wife, the tray of hot chocolate mugs already in his hands. He held it high above his head with one hand while he tugged her to him by the waist and planted a loving kiss upon her lips. "James, don't swear at your mother. If she says you're too thin, you're too thin. But then, she's always said I'm much too thin as well."<br/><br/>Sirius grinned and plucked a candy cane from the tray, popping it in his mouth and crunching down on it. "The way your mother cooks, Prongs, I don't care if I turn into a ten ton blob monster." He looked towards the foot of the stairs and a brighter smile lit up his face. He plucked two more candy canes from the tray, strode over to the stairs and got down on one knee before them, holding out the candy canes between his fingers while his own stuck out of his mouth. "Ladies."<br/><br/>Lily smiled and took the candy cane from Sirius, patting him on the head and placing it in her mouth. They were her favorite, candy canes were. She let go of Riley's hand and made her way over to James, taking the tray from him with a smile and moving to place it down on the coffee table. She then spun around and hugged her male best friend around the middle, staring up at him brightly.
