Hogwarts Drabbles

Chapter One: Blue

Prompt: Blue [dancing in the rain and a blue dress].
Pairing: Lily/James
World: Marauder Era

So, this is a new thing my friend Future Starkid Member and I are doing. Each week one of us gives a prompt, and we both write a drabble on it. Any pairing, any world.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Lily was standing there, her shoes in one hand, socks stuffed in them. Her bare feet splashing across the puddles that surrounded the stone walkway.

James was watching her, her dark blue dress was already sprinkled with the water droplets. She spun around, her red hair turning auburn, almost brown as it continued to pour down.

James was holding his cloak's hood over his head to keep from getting wet. But that didn't keep him from watching his girlfriend stand out in the rain.

"Lily! Come back inside, you'll catch a cold," James warned her, holding out his hand.

Lily spun around, green eyes narrowing, as before they had dated and she had been about to curse him, but she didn't raise her wand. Instead, she walked over to where her boyfriend stood, clearly out of the rain.

"Join me in the rain. It's not that bad, and it's not even that cold," Lily suggested, holding her own hand out.

For a long moment, they stared at one another. Waiting for one of them to give in. Lily was starting to feel the cold of the rain now and was about to follow him in, when he gave in. He couldn't deny her anything anyway. He loved her. So he tossed his cloak off, figuring it would only get wet and let her drag him out down the stone stairs.

He threw his shoes up on the stairs, thinking he might as well. Then he ran after her, dancing in the rain.

She spun around and around. Letting the rainwater spill down her hair, and stream down her dress to her bare feet. Her hair turned almost brown with the water but her emerald eyes still shone brighter than ever.

She finally took his hands and throwing her head back, spun them both in a circle. James picked her up around her middle and spun her around.

Lily laughed and finally ran up the stairs, gathering up her shoes and then fleeing, with James following.

And if James had a cold the next day no matter how many times Lily apologized James only shook his head. Because he knew, he loved her and getting sick for it, he didn't mind. She was worth it.
