A/N:
This one is sweet and serious.
Summary: So Wrong, It's Right: A collection of Lily/James drabbles, based on the album by All Time Low.
Funny thing about this song was that Alex Gaskarth, the yummy leader of All Time Low, originally wrote it to represent Peter Pan.
Go figure!

James and I sat on the same sofa, staring into the dark embers of the dying fire. A half finished bottle of firewhiskey was placed precariously on top of my stack of books, and we had just finished another glass of the scorching alcohol. Slightly delirious, I lay my head on top of his shoulder.
"The world is really shit right now, isn't it?" I slurred, trying to pick up our conversation.
"That it is, that it is," James mumbled in response. I frowned and continued.
"It's all bloody You-Know-Who's fault," I said loudly. "Curse him! Curse him to the darkest, deepest pits of Hades..." I trailed off and rolled to my side so I was nearly lying on top of James.
"Evans, you're drunk," he said with a raised eyebrow.
"Perhaps I am," I giggled. "But do you get my point? About Voldy."
"Voldy? Well, asides from that, yes, I do get your point." He stretched his arms up and yawned, then repositioned himself and me.
James stared at me in the eye with an intense seriousness I'd hardly ever seen before. Even though I was a little out of it, I continued to absorb every word he uttered.
"There's something brewing, for sure," James started. "We're going to meet it when it finally appears. But for now, we can't really complain or cower. We're Gryffindors, right? Brave to the bone." He passes me a small smile and I return it.
"Brave to the bone," I repeated sleepily. "There's absolutely no reason why you should hide and scream. He's going to get you someday. Just face it like a man, and take it all in stride, correct?"
"Exactly." He smiled at me. "You're amazingly coherent for a drunk."
"I'm not a drunk," I said while stifling a yawn.
"C'mon. I'll get you up to bed," James said.
"No. I want to stay awake. Feels like I'm dreaming right now, and I don't really want to stop," I told him.
"Dreaming?" he asked, curious.
"When else am I going to get a relaxing time at the dead of night with my favorite Head Boy?"
He glanced at me and his eyes were full of happiness. And something else- love. "Of course, of course. Who am I to deny the lady her wish?"
He once again picked me up and settled me down on his lap. I sighed comfortably and nestled into his warm chest.
