'Lo.
I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed writing this.
You guys can make up what James did but this is just the result.
I don't own Harry Potter, J.K Rowling does.
Enjoy...
"Lily, let's be rational about this."
Snow was falling all around James, Sirius, Marlene and Lily as they stood in the grounds of Hogwarts. It was a white winter's day and they all stood there freezing half to death while Lily and James – mostly Lily, really – shouted about the aftermath of James's most resent act of mischief.
"Rational?!" Lily exclaimed, incredulous. "You want me to be rational, Potter?"
"Oh, so we're back to surnames? It was just a stupid prank." James said. He attempted to take Lily's wrist but she pulled her arm away from James's movement.
"Leave me alone, Potter!" She warned, her green eyes narrowing into dangerous slits.
Sirius leaned in over James's shoulder. "So, this is what….? The fifth time you've fought in the last two weeks, right? It's a record, Prongs!"
"Don't remind me, mate," James sighed.
"You know, I am still here!" Lily said. She spread her hands out in front of her which was rather funny to the two Marauders who noted her woolly mittens. The red head huffed and folded her arms.
"Yeah, sorry," James apologised. "It just gets rather repetitive. Don't you agree?"
"Ugh! I'm done with you lot," Lily said.
"As were you yesterday, a few days before that-"
Lily cut James off mid-sentence, "no, I mean it now." And here is the moment Lily Evans used one of the best similes James Potter had ever and would ever – in his opinion – hear.
"You, James Potter, are like a snowman!" She said, seemingly taking the idea from the white sheet covering their once green surroundings.
The two boys frowned. "Elaborate…." Sirius suggested.
"Well. You finish making the snowman and you're so chuffed. You look at all the lovely, un-tainted, pure white, snow. That's what I was seeing when we started to like one another – when you stopped being and arse. But no, then you walk around a bit and you see the snowman from another angle and you discover that, no, it's not perfect at all. You see all the little balls of rabbit shit from the grass and all the mud. And that is what you just showed me."
"I showed you all my rabbit shit?" James asked, he ran a hand through his dark hair, although the cold wind had stepped in already to mess it up.
"Yes!" She shouted. She turned, her hair flying out to side with the motion and walked off at a brisk pace.
Marlene nodded in their direction as if to say 'so there.' She then also turned and followed Lily back to the castle.
James turned to his best friend. "Rabbit shit?"
"Rabbit shit," Sirius confirmed.
