James & Lily: 100 Word Snapshots

by Tinkerbell79

With prompts given by readers (hopefully) and 100 words I will create a little James and Lily snapshots about their life/relationship. These will not go in chronological order and will not necessarily be totally cannon. They are meant to be mostly fun.

1. Saved Her Day

Title: Saved Her Day

Prompt: Birthday

Words: 100

Rating: G

Today was Lily's 15th birthday; so far, one of her worst. Alice was viciously sick with a head cold, and hadn't remembered before crawling back into bed. While eating breakfast alone the post arrived. The birthday card and letter from her parents was noticeably not accompanied by one from Petunia. Worst of all she could see James Potter making his way toward her. She didn't want to deal with him today. Ducking behind her Daily Prophet she waited for the inevitable.

"Lily?" he asked; when she lowered her paper he was grinning and holding out a pink rose, "Happy Birthday!"

Author's Note: On this day Lily learned that James was not always the git she expected him to be.

So, I wrote many drabbles about Harry and Ginny and seem to be have hit a massive wall of a writer's block in regard to them. I miss writing drabbles (and all my other stories) and need a way back in. I thought I would try my hand at some James and Lily Drabbles. (Because I am obsessed with them.) For this first one I pulled a prompt from when I was writing about Harry and Ginny. Going forward I would love if anyone reads this to send me a prompt! I will work on a drabbles using just 100 words (sometimes I cheat and if it is a really good one I will up my word limit…but I try not to.)

Questions? Let me know.

Thanks for reading,

Tink
