Little Eagle

It took Lily months to recover from the shock of losing another friend to Voldemort. When the summer holidays finally arrived, Lily was feeling slightly better.

"Lily, you want to come over for part of the holidays?" James asked. "Sirius, Remus and Peter will be too."

"Which part?" Lily asked, reaching for a quill and some parchment.

"Second half? The guys'll leave a week before school starts, but you can stay longer."

"I'll owl my parents and ask." Lily said, writing the message quickly. She finished it, smiled, leant over and kissed James's cheek, then stood up. "I'll go send it now."

"Okay, Lily-love," James smiled at her. "I'll be right here when you get back."

"You'd better be." Lily smiled at him. "Are we going to curse Snape tonight?"

"You bet." James grinned, and Lily walked away. James sat still, thinking about the upcoming prank on Snape, when he was suddenly disturbed.

"Jamsiepookums!" A tall, thin, blonde girl rushed across to James.

"Um…" James looked at her blankly.

"It's me, you silly billy!" She mock-sighed when he continued to look blank. "Jermine!"

"Oh…"

"Don't you remember me?" She pouted, and her lip started to shake.

"Oh, Jermine!" James plastered a fake smiled on his face. "Of course! I'd never forget you!"

"That's so sweet, Honeypumpkin!" She beamed at him and attempted to plop down on his lap, but landed on the floor. "Oooph!" She squealed.
"Here, Jermine," James extended his hand to her, and she grabbed it. James pulled, and she landed on his lap just as Lily walked back in.

"What is going on?" She asked in icy tones.

I know, dreadfully short…. But what can I do?
