Snooze

Lily Evans/James Potter

He'd found her like that, asleep in her favourite booth in the library, a smudge of ink above her upper lip. He'd seen her shiver in her sleep and shrugged off his pajama robe. As he draped it across her he watched as she snuggled into it, smiling slightly in her unconsciousness.

He'd taken the liberty of finishing her essay for her… well, writing it for her. He swapped their essays. Leaving her his, he'd performed a handwriting charm on it so it looked as if she had written it herself.

Lightly, he pressed his lips to her forehead and went back to his dorm knowing that had he done anything else she'd probably try to kill him.

As she came to, she looked around. She felt as if… as if she wasn't alone.

She looked around and realised she'd fallen asleep in the library.

She quickly gathered up her belongings and walked up to the Gryffindor Tower.

Halfway to the tower she realised she was wearing someone else's robe. It was far too big for her and had a delicious musky smell to it. It made her smile, made her feel… comfortable.

She was too tired to deal with this.

McGonagall was going to kill her tomorrow anyway.

Ugh, tomorrow.

"Mr Potter I'm disappointed, I thought you'd have done better. However, Miss Evans it seems your grade has increased somewhat. Congratulations." McGonagall remarked as she returned the essays due the week before.

Lily's brow furrowed as she read through the essay before her… she hadn't written this! It was in her handwriting with her name but….

"You're cute when you sleep Lil" Smirked James as he walked past, an air of musk following him.

…No way.
