Sirius/Lily - hands


"Evans and company. How are you lovely ladies doing this fine, fine morning?"

Marlene rolled her eyes. Dorcas sighed in a what-can-you-do kind of manner. Lily gave him a look that was clearly telling him to bugger off - and not very kindly.

Sirius grinned and leaned back against the wall of the common room, clearly unbothered by the lack of interest the girls were showing.

"Go bother someone else," said Marlene.

"We're a bit busy," added Dorcas.

"Just wanted to say a Happy Valentine's Day to a group of lovely ladies," he said, laying a hand on Lily's shoulder, who attempted to brush it off. It didn't move.

"Haven't you attempted that with the rest of Gryffindor, regardless of age or gender?" spoke Lily, the annoyance bleeding heavily into her tone.

"Ah, my Lilyflower," Lily winced, "you know what I always say. Save the best for last." His tone lost its joking quality, but before it could become too tense, Sirius winked cheerily and walked away.

If Lily's curtain of hair wasn't blocking her face, he would have seen the heavy blush that had arisen to her cheeks.
