Utensil Joy

Part Cinq

James frowns at his plate, only with a great effort managing to prevent himself from making designs in his mashed potatoes. It won't do for James Potter to look like he is nervous, because James Potter doesn't do nervous, even when on a first date with Lily Evans – especially when on a date with Lily Evans…

But the silence is painfully awkward. Is she regretting coming to Hogsmeade with him? He doesn't know what to say.

He glances up and sees the miniature potato castle she's making with her spoon.

He heaves a silent sigh of relief.

"Want some help?"

A/N: Please review and let me know what you think! (Oh, and Part Six is over on my lj, since it's sort of a wonky kind of fanfiction.)
