A/N: Be warned in advance that 'whooshy' is not a word. I'm very tired. Don't blame me.


Fizzing Whizbees – These treats make you levitate. So you're not on the ground. Just like in Quidditch. So your challenge is to write about a Quidditch player.

"Stop it."

"Stop what?"

"The hair thing."

"What hair thing?"

"The whooshy hair thing. I know you were just about to do it. Your hand in right there, all poised to run through your hair and make it all... whooshy."

"I don't think 'whooshy' is a word, Lily."

"Don't be patronising. Just don't do the hair thing. Please, James, I will actually get down on my knees and beg you."

"Really?"

"No. I'll hex your hand so it break out in boils and weighs you down so much you'll have to drag your knuckles on the floor as you walk all the way to the Hospital Wing on your own."

"Oh. That's not very nice."

"Well neither is doing the hair thing when I ask you not to."

"Okay, fine. I won't do the hair thing. Am I allowed to ask why not?"

"I don't want you to do it because it's dumb. That's why."

"...that isn't why. You're lying."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!"

"Are too!

"I am not-!"

"Lily, seriously? Are we doing this? Because I know when you're lying. All I want is for you to just tell me why I'm not allowed to do it."

"Fine."

"You'll tell me?"

"Promise not to laugh."

"I try not to make promises to you that I can't keep."

"Fair enough. Okay. Here goes.

"I don't want you to do the hair thing, because I know you do it because you think it makes you look like you've just come off a broomstick. Just finished some stupid Quidditch game or something."

"Lily! Quidditch isn't-"

"Do you want to know why or not?"

"Sorry. I'll stop interrupting. Go on."

"So, you think it looks windswept and stuff. Only, everyone else- well, everyone else maybe used to think that, but now... now that think your hair's messy because... because of, well, me. And it's embarrassing. And it's not funny, James Potter! I told you not to laugh!"

"I never promised anything, remember? And it is, you know, kind of funny. A little."

"Maybe a little."

"Merlin, they think you did this?"

"Yes."

"But don't they know than when you do it it's kind of more to the side. Like, this bit is always sticking out like this and then this bit is all ruffled up that way and-"

"Shut up, you horrible prat!"
