For: Serindraxx again, who comes up with amazing stories and requested a pairing I was itching to write! Thank you!
Day 4
On the fourth day of Christmas…
"Happy Christmas, Sirius!" he shouts, his eyes bright and his hair even messier than usual.
She hardly looks up from her essay. She knows he'll come to her next. It's always Sirius, Lily, Remus and Peter, everyone else. Perhaps she should be honored that she's second.
She isn't.
"Happy Christmas, Lily!"
"It isn't Christmas yet, Potter," she says coolly. She will not blow up. She is in her happy place. Palm trees. Warmth. No Pesky Potter to ruin things. Her happy place.
She breathes in deeply, and maybe it's even working, until he interrupts her with that annoying, chirpy voice of his. "Lily, Lily, Lily, Lily! You know you love me. Go out with me? As a Christmas present?"
She wonders how funny it would be if she said yes. The look on his face would surely be priceless.
She weighs the pros and cons, like she always does. Cons beat pros, like usual. "Hmm…let me think…no."
And with that, she snaps her Ruins book closed and hurries upstairs to her dorm, concealing the blush on her cheeks and wondering why she's suddenly so affected by Potter's asking her out.
