prompts used: james/lily, (object) roses
James stood outside Lily Evans' house with a bouquet of a dozen roses behind his back. He wore a button-down navy blue shirt and black trousers, and he'd even attempted to corral his hair into some resemblance of neatness.
He knocked, and Petunia came to the door.
"What do you want?" she asked rudely.
James smiled politely, clenching his teeth. His grip on the roses held behind him tightened. "May I please speak to Lily?"
"Freaks. The lot of you." But she stepped backward and allowed him to come in. She yelled up the stairs, "Someone here to see you!" and walked away.
Lily came down a few moments later wearing jeans and a too big sweater. "Who is — Potter, what the bloody hell are you doing here?"
