Lily Evans was splayed out on a couch half asleep as she dragged her eyes over the last few
words of the chapter, she felt her eye lids slowly start to close, resting her head on her arm,
hugging her knees as she surrendered to sleep.
Just as fatigue started to overtake her senses she felt a cold breeze tickle her ear, and travel down to her neck,
followed by the gentle sensation of a pair of lips caressing her jaw lightly. She groaned and smiled slightly
opening one eye to look at the imposter. She gasped as she realised who it was and sat bolt
up straight staring wide eyed at none other than James Potter.
"Shite..Potter! What in hells name do you think you are doing?" she hissed, wiping her eyes
blearily taking in his handsome face in the dimly lit fireplaces silhouette.
"Calm it Evans." He breathed, a lopsided grin spreading across his face as she straightened
her uniform and turned to look at him, and he could of sworn that behind the glare he saw a
hint of amusement in her harsh exterior.
"Seriously, what do you think you are doing?" she whispered, trying not to wake any of the
others upstairs, attempting desperately not to kiss him as she studied his perfectly sculpted
features, his lips slightly parted as he tried to read her, his unruly mass of hair flopping
perfectly over his brow casting shadows across his Adonis like profile.
"Well I was going to come down and practice my charms for the exam next week, but you
were here so I thought I might as well wake you up, considering I can't take you into your
dorm. Oh and might I say Evans, you really are beautiful when you sleep." He whispered
back huskily, tucking a piece of elegant red hair behind her ear, as a gentle blush crept
across his and her cheeks. He thanked god for the lack of light as he probably would have
died if she had seen his embarrassment.
"Nice blush James." She whispered quietly a sparkle of amusement dancing in her eyes, as
she stood up, grasping her book and walking to the foot of the stairs that lead to her dorm.
"Oh and Potter, try that again, and I may just have to hex you." She grinned mischeviously.
James chuckled quietly and waved at her slightly before heading up to his dorm. "Night Evans." He whispered quietly.
