Moments with the Marauders
Umbrella- A device consisting of a circular canopy of cloth on a folding metal frame supported by a central rod, used as protection against rain.
Lily Evans loved to dance. But she specifically loved dancing in the rain. She loved how her skirt would billow out around her as she spun, and she loved how the rain made everything so beautiful.
Whenever it rained, Lily would drop anything she was doing, and she'd run outside, not caring who was watching. And then, one day, James Potter came along with the strangest thing in his hands.
"Lily! Lily, stop! You'll get sick!" James shouted worriedly as Lily leapt about, graceful as a doe.
Lily ignored him and twirled around with a laugh.
"Okay, ignore me, but at least take the umbrella." James held out a navy blue umbrella, and Lily stopped.
"Why would I possibly need an umbrella?" Lily asked, holding out her hands so that she could catch the rain.
"So that you don't get wet?" James said unsurely.
"But James, the fun part about dancing in the rain is getting wet! Come on, dance with me!" Lily tossed the useless umbrella away, and took hold of James hands, pulling him closer to her.
"Lily, I don't think-"
"Shut it James. You need to loosen up." Lily yelled over the pouring rain.
And so they danced. They danced and they laughed. Because the world was crumbling around them and their lives were just beginning. And that navy umbrella lay in the wet grass, forgotten and not needed.
Sorry, I know it's shorter than usual, but I just couldn't think of any bloody 'U' words. I asked for some in another one shot, 6 Reasons Why Prongs Shouldn't Move in With Evans, and they were all amazing, but none of them really brought up ideas.
Hope you liked it anyway! R&R!
Lots of love,
