Short-ish one shot I wrote a few years back, feedback would be good, All btu the plot is JK's.


'Lil, I love you so much,'

'I love you too, If it wasn't for Harry I'd leave James, you know that don't you?'

'Ye, course I do. Don't worry I understand. Where is James tonight? And Harry for that matter?' he asked, she looked sad before replying,

'James is at the office doing the nightshift and Harry's asleep upstairs.' She smiled slightly, 'Were all alone.' Then smiling even more she took hold of his hand and led him to the bedroom.

A little while later she lay in his arms as he slept, she knew it was wrong but with James away so often she just wanted to be held again. Suddenly the doorbell rang. She looked at the clock, it was ten. Who would be calling at this time of night? It wouldn't be James, he wasn't due back until five and he had a key. The doorbell rang again waking her lover this time. "Who is it?" he asked. She shrugged and kissing him softly on the lips told him to stay there and she'd deal with it. Lily pulled on her dressing gown and went down the stairs to open the door. "Sorry Evans, catch you unawares did I?" oh heaven help her it was Sirius, James' best friend. "James asked me to pop by and see how you were." Spy on me more like she thought to herself but asked him in for a coffee anyway. They talked about trivial stuff, Birthdays, Christmas, James' job, three month old Harry, but not once did either of them mention the fact that she was almost definitely going to die at the hands of the darkest wizard of all time. She tried to make the time pass quickly by answering his questions with the answers she hoped he wanted. Her thoughts kept drifting to her lover, lying upstairs in her bed not knowing what was going on. "Something's distracting you, what is it?" he asked looking concerned. "Come on Red, You can tell me!" he added with a grin.

"No, Nothing" she replied trying not to let her worry show. "I'm just tired that's all." He said he'd be off then but could he possibly see Harry first?

"Of course." Was her reply, he was his godfather after all. She said "He's upstairs, I'll follow you up in a minute after washing the mugs." Seconds later she realised her mistake, she hadn't told him which room. She ran out of the kitchen and took the stairs two at a time. He was stood in her bedroom doorway staring at the sleeping man in her bed. "Sirius, I…" but words could not help her out this time. Sirius turned to her with a look of disgust in his eyes. "Of all the people you could have had an affair with, You chose Snape?"


I was thinking of maybe writing another chapter, what do you think?
