Lily stared out the window, feeling her lip curl up in repugnance at what a dismal day it was turning out to be. Misty rain swirled and mixed with the morning fog, creating a softened, swirling quality in the air. The sky threw itself upon the world in all its bloated gray dullness. She shoved the curtains together to hide the atrocious weather from her sight.

"Looks like today is going to be uneventful." Lily grumbled as she joined James on the loveseat.

James snickered, his eyes never leaving the copy of the Daily Prophet that was between his clutches.

"How can you possibly find that amusing?" She snapped at him.

"You just get so worked up about the weather, of all things. Read the paper, then you'll have something to gripe about." The corner of his mouth slide up into his infamous crooked grin. He shook his paper for emphasis.

"I think I'd rather not." Lily replied, eyeing the newspaper with wary eyes. No need to further damper her mood with the most recent list of deaths and disappearances.

"Suit yourself, but I find it very informative." His eyes once again glued to the article he had previously been reading.

Lily huffed and glared around the room, hoping futilely to find something to distract her. Finding no success with that endeavor, she retreated back to the window. This gave her a sudden, rather random, thought.

"James?" She called, turning to look at him. He made a noise indicating he was listening, but his gaze stayed fixed on the page.

"Have you ever been kissed in the rain?"

His eyebrows shot together at her question, and he finally put the newspaper down to look at Lily.

"Uh, I don't believe I have…. Why?"

"Well, I haven't either…" She glanced wistfully over her shoulder.

"What are you suggesting?" He inquired with a trace of confusion.

"Oh, nothing." Another quick look behind her.

A sudden grin of comprehension broke out on his face. He leapt up and sauntered over to her. James headed for the door, with a giggling Lily in his arms. The hazy wet atmosphere enveloped them once they were outside. Lily felt like she was under water. James set her down gently in the street, the moist air making his shirt cling to his muscles in a rather attractive way. That fact wasn't lost on Lily.

"So you say you've never been kissed in the rain, eh?" His eyes seemed to blaze like an inferno.

Lily could barely formulate a response, so captivating was the sight of James standing before her like that. His soft lips were a burst of color against the bleak setting, and if it was possible, his hair had somehow ended up even more ruffled than usual. She sent a silent thanks to the rain, it had a use after all; it seemed to have inhanced James' sexiness, if that was even possible.

"How about we change that." James murmured, one hand finding its way into her hair and the other cupping her face. He bent down and kissed her softly. Lily threw her arms around him, her only articulate thought being, 'I love you.'
