A/N: A bit fluffy and all but what the hell...
Prompt: Flash
Outside the Prefect Room, the sky was caliginous and murky, and even the black outline of the Forbidden Forest couldn't be seen. Flakes of snow dusted the grounds and what little of Hagrid's hut could be seen looked less like a large shack and more like a snow covered cottage. Inside, a fire roared in the grate casting an orange glow over everything in it.
James Potter's hair was bleached a strange sort of auburn and Lily's face looked like it was being licked by wild flames. Lily looked up from her work for the umpteenth time as she saw James' glasses flash in the firelight as he looked up to watch her. They flashed again as he cast his eyes back to his parchment.
"I can tell when your watching me." Lily said into the silence, her words echoing off the house banner clad walls. She watched intrigue mould his features; obviously he had noticed her looking up every tenth time or so that he did.
"How can you tell?"
"Your glasses..." Lily replied evasively, knowing it would puzzle him even more.
"That was a bit of a fragmented sentence, don't you think Evans?"
"Mmmm I suppose it was..." Lily said ambiguously, laughing inside at his feeble attempt to not sound too interested.
"Seriously Evans, how can you tell?" James asked leaning forward on the desk.
"Why were you watching me?" Lily said smiling.
"I wasn't watching you, you make me sound like a stalker!" He protested.
"If you weren't watching me then I can't tell you why I knew you were watching me because you said you weren't watching me..." Lily said laughing.
"Well that's me outsmarted then isn't it...?" James said dryly, cocking an eyebrow.
Lily smirked and repeated "Why were you watching me?"
James sighed heavily, "I was watching you because I think your beautiful Evans."
Lily smiled blushing and looked back towards the parchment in front of her, the list of patrol partners for that term was still unfinished.
"Your glasses, they flash in the firelight." She said looking into his hazel eyes that glinted a browny orange.
He smiled a lopsided grin and Lily wrote down the last set of patrol partners.
James Potter and Lily Evans.
