Lily came practically crawling through the door that night after work. It had been a long, loud day. Her headache had lasted a whole lot longer than she would have liked it too and she had never gotten to take her lunch break, due to Lindy being out sick. She was starving and tired and just not in a great mood all around.
She locked the door behind her and made a beeline for the kitchen. She needed food.
But, the cherry on top of what was already a shitty day, was that the fridge was almost completely empty.
What about the cabinet? No luck there either. Just an old granola bar and a box of pasta that had been open since the dinosaurs went extinct. Maybe even before. Brilliant.
"James!" she called, wondering if he was home, or if he had gone out.
"Yeah?" he called back after a minute
"Did you know that if a starving mouse came into our cabinet looking for food crumbs he would probably just die?" Lily grew sarcastic when she was in a foul mood.
"Huh?"
"If this were colonial times and we had to trade food in order to survive, we'd be dead too."
"What?" he finally came out of the bedroom
"We have no food."
"Oh. Why couldn't you just say that the first time?"
"Because my way was more fun."
"Was it?"
"Absolutely. Point is, Potter, i have to go shopping tonight. Apparently."
"Potter? Wow, you really are hungry."
"No shit! Have you seen my bag?"
"Dining room table."
She muttered something that might have been thanks before snatching the sad, lonely granola bar out of the cabinet and going to retrieve her bag.
"Do you just want me to go?"
"No, you're bad at shopping. Do you need anything specific while i'm out?"
"We need soap."
"Soap, got it. Okay, i'll see you when i get back."
She shut the door before he could say anything else and ripped open her granola bar.
Lily made her way to the store, thinking what food they needed. Probably some vegetables, a loaf of bread, cereal… chocolate cake. Absolutely. Dark chocolate with icing between the layers. Those cakes were like seven pounds but bloody hell she was going to get one. She deserved it.
