Eggnog Trouble
The door to the cottage opened softly, and Lily stepped in. When she saw Harry sleeping peacefully in his cot, she sighed and shut the door behind her.
The guys were lounging on the couches. She dumped her bag on the table and kissed James. "Where's Peter?" she asked.
"Somewhere," Sirius replied, winking. Lily glared at him, and he grinned. She ignored him and turned to James.
"I'll be in the kitchen." He nodded absently.
A minute later, she yelled from the kitchen: "James Charlus Potter!" James sat up in alarm.
Sirius winced, making a slit-throat expression with his finger. "That's all three names, mate. Good luck." Even Remus looked up from his book for whole five seconds to give him a sympathetic look.
James turned to face his doom. There, standing in the kitchen doorway was his wife, holding up two empty glasses, looking at him with a death glare. "What did I tell you about drinking when you were babysitting Harry?"
"B-But it's just eggnog," James said, standing up and backing off, his hands raised in a surrender.
Lily's glare didn't diminish an iota. "You have three seconds to run." James turned to his friends to help. Sirius sat there with an indifferent expression on his face. "Oh, and don't think I forgot about you, Sirius," she said, and Sirius blanched. Remus gave them both an 'I told you so' look and went back to reading.
And then the two men were running out of the living room, trying to dodge stinging hexes from tigress Lily.
