Prompt: "Snow kisses"


"James, come on. I'm freezing."

Lily Evans pouted at her boyfriend but he ignored her and tugged her arm a little more urgently.

"No, Evans, you come on! It's snowing. The first snow of the season!" He turned to look at her as they walked, grinning like a child on Christmas.

"Yes, but it's freezing. Unlike our dorm. And your bed. Which we could be in right now. Together."

"We have the whole rest of the night for that." James flashed her another grin before flopping down onto the ground and proceeding to make a snow angel. He smiled up at her, snowflakes catching on his eyelashes. She wanted to be cross with him, she really did, but he was just so darn cute. Which is probably why she never stays mad at him for too long.

"Come on, Evans. Live a little."

Lily sighed and joined her boyfriend in the snow. James let out a joyful whoop! and she giggled, letting the snowflakes fall on her tongue as she moved her arms and legs.

"Okay, this was a good idea. It's so peaceful out here," Lily said.

"Of course. All my ideas are good ones." He reached out and grabbed Lily's hand, and they laid in silence for a few moments, side by side, hand in hand, revealing in the quiet peace of the first snowfall of 1978.

Then, the silence was broken as James rolled over with a loud ooof and poised himself above his girlfriend. He pushed her hair out of her face and thought, for the millionth time that week, just how goddamn lucky he was.

"Love you, Evans." And he kissed her as the snow continued to fall, blanketing Hogwarts in white.
