"Hey, Couz." James charmingly grinned at his distant cousin, sitting in front of her during breakfast that morning.
"What do you want, James?" she just sighed, picking on her blueberry pancake.
"I'm just catching up with my beautiful and lovely cousin, that's all." His grin didn't fade, he even bit a piece out of her pancake.
"You obviously need something. What is it this time?" Marlene pressed her on, looking at him with a bored expression.
"Could you persuade my Lily-flower to go to Hogsmeade with m-" he was cut off by Lily herself.
"No, Potter, I will not go with you to Hogsmeade this weekend." Lily groaned.
"But I have Mars bars!" James called out after her.
That hit a spot. She looked back at him whilst walking away, "I'll think about it."
