Day 4: Enchant
"Enchant me," James says suddenly.
It is one of the rare warm days at Hogwarts, and James and Lily are outside by the Black Lake. They have been here for at least an hour in comfortable silence. Lily's head rests on James's leg as she reads a book. She doesn't really know what James is doing, but every now and then, his hand drifts to her hair and smooths it down. It feels strangely good.
"Hm?" She lowers her book now to crane her neck up at him. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you do it effortlessly anyway," James explains casually, his eyes fixed at something in the distance, although a corner of his mouth is pulled up. "But I thought I might say it, just in case you want to kiss me or something. Then by all means, enchant me."
Lily fights the instinct to blush - blush very hard - at the mention of a kiss. "What are you babbling about?" she asks. The memory of a night three days ago, her back pressed against the wall, James's hands locked around her neck, hers in his hair, makes her voice sound nervous.
"It also might have to do with the fact it's the only line I can discern from that book you're reading." He gestures to the open book on her stomach. "What is it, anyway?"
"I told you, it's a Muggle novel."
James's smile is wicked. "Evidently a romance novel."
She swats his arm with her free hand, and he catches it at her wrist. Leaning above her face, he grins down at her. "So? What about it? Would you like to enchant me?"
Lily's heart flutters in her chest as she breathes in James - James, who smells like sandalwood and tastes sweet and makes her go mad half the time, who is so close that she can feel his breath on her cheek -
Their second kiss is not like the first, all fire and pressure and frenzy. This one is sweet, soft, and absolutely everything enchanting.
As you can probably tell, I'm going all over the place with these drabbles - not at all in chronological order. So if there is any scene you would like me to write in particular (first kiss, fluff with Harry, more Wolfstar, anything), feel free to comment it because I am totally up to ideas :) Right now I'm kind of winging it by the prompts.
Hope you guys are enjoying this as much as I am so far!
