Chapter 5:
They sat there 5 hours later. They had played nearly six games of chess. The room was pretty quiet. The fire had gone out minutes ago. They had run out of firewood, paper and cardboard to feed it and the matches were no good with nothing to light. James was looking around through the window. He heard a whimper.
"Lily, are you alright? Is something, besides being her, wrong?"
Her teeth chattered. She had a bluish color. "I'm just a little cold. Didn't bring my winter cloak like you. Forgot dungeons were so cold," she joked.
James walked over to Lily, who sat against the wall, and took off his cloak.
"No, James. You'll freeze to death. It's too cold. You're shaking already."
"Don't you worry yourself over me, Lily. I'll be just fine," he shook.
"James. Come sit here. My turn for an idea. Take off tour dress cloak."
They took them off and shivered to the chilled bone.
"Here, come sit next to me. I've got a little muggle plan."
"What are you thinking, Lily? And, please let it be good."
"It's simple. Body heat. If we sit together, our body heat will help keep each other warm. Pull the three layers over you. That'll trap the heat. See, now, tuck your knees into your chest. Good. Now, put your arm around my back and I'll put mine around your neck. See warmer already."
A joke washed over James' face. Sure, he could feel the new heat from the extra layers. However, this wave came over him when he wrapped his arms around Lily. What was this feeling? Absolute comfort and a sense of security. He felt a warm good feeling.
Lily was in a state of shock. First of all, she couldn't believe she told James Potter to put his arm around his body. Second, she couldn't, for the life of her, understand this strange, warm, fuzzy feeling. She liked having James' arms around her waist. It just felt right. She shivered and James just held her closer and tighter. She almost passed out. She was feeling faint and weak in the stomach. It was strange. It was like the feeling before the Transfiguration final exam. WAIT! Did she have the butterflies over James Potter?
