All right I made this short little one-shot between Lily and James.
By Megan
Lily sat in the corner of the common room. She wondered why her part of the Muggle world had to end like this. Her parents were dead. And Petunia wasn't talking to her. It seemed that not even the lily flower could make it through.
Everyone else was having a good time. They were all celebrating the end of the O.W.L. exams. But Lily didn't feel like celebrating. It was during her Herbology exam that her mother and father had taken their last breaths. She was so angry with herself. Why didn't she go home when Petunia sent that letter?
James noticed Lily in the corner. She wasn't smiling. If anything, she was crying. He felt like he needed to do something. So he walked over to her.
"You ok?" James asked putting as much compassion as he could into those two words.
When she lifted her head, James was surprised to see tears streaking down her face from those big emerald orbs.
"No I'm not ok. My parents just died." Lily snapped. Then she buried her head in her arms.
A look of shock crossed over his face. But James quickly shook it away, and sat down next to her. After a long moment, James awkwardly put a hand on her shoulder. His hopes soared when she didn't shove it away. But he shoved them quickly back down. This is time to comfort Lily, not to get a date, James thought then he spoke.
"Hey everything's going to be ok." James said, trying to make a conversation. He pushed back part of her long dark red hair and slipped it behind her ear. "It sucks now but it will get better. Don't worry about it."
Lily looked up into his hazel eyes. Then she did something that neither of them expected. She jumped into his arms. James blinked, and then returned the hug. Lily kept sobbing into his shoulder, not saying a word. Then she looked up at him.
"Thanks." She said still with tears in her eyes. "Just for being there for me. I got some help from you. I can deal with the rest on my own.
She gave him a kiss on the lips. James immediately deepened the kiss. It was heaven to him. There was nothing better in the whole world. Just Lily Evans.
When they came up for air she was laughing. James started to laugh to and pretty soon they were rolling around on the floor with tears stinging their eyes.
"You really did help me a lot. Thanks Pot—I mean James."With her red hair swinging behind her she ran up the dormitory stairs.
James thought nothing could get better.
