Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry: 2017 Event: 365 Drabbles - Prompt - Poppy
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry: January Event - Winnie the Pooh Day (24 hour challenge) - Prompt: 5. "Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."
"Poppy seed bagels. My favorite," Narcissa sighed happily. When she took a bite, her eyes closed as she moaned in ecstasy.
James shook his head. Poppy seed bagels. They were such a small thing. They were so simple. Someone of Narcissa's wealth could eat all the fancy foods that she wanted, but she chose to eat one of the cheapest things for breakfast.
It was mind boggling. It was small, but they seemed to be imbedded in Narcissa's heart, and they weren't leaving their space in her heart any time soon.
Then again, it was nice that Narcissa didn't take everything for granted. Still, he couldn't help but ask his next question.
"So, when we have sex, you don't look nearly as satisfied. Should I be concerned?"
Narcissa took another bite and opened her eyes. There was a teasing light in them. "Well, if you tasted as good as this bagel, maybe I would look more satisfied."
James blinked. It still shocked him when Narcissa spoke like that. At Hogwarts, he would never have believed the prim and proper Slytherin princess was capable of it, but she sure taught him differently once he got to know her better.
"How can I learn to taste better?" he asked huskily.
She moved closer with the bagel still in her hand. She leaned forward so her lips were a mere hairsbreadth away. "Eat more fruit."
Then she quickly moved away and took another bite of her bagel.
James was left wanting more, but he knew he would remain unsatisfied. At least until she finished that stupid bagel.
