Challenge: Character Drabble competition
Prompts: Lying
Pairing: James/Lily.
Note: Zanna is an OC from my fic Entering the Unknown who is dating Sirius and also his best friend.
There was something special about lying in the grass on a sunny summers day watching the clouds float by.
Maybe it was special because it was her 19th birthday
Or perhaps it was special because of the person lying next to her. She turned her head slightly to the left, and allowed a small smile to grace her lips as she observed the boy who lay there peacefully, with a small smile gracing his handsome features.
Yes, that was it. She thought. It wasn't where you were, or why you were there. It was all about who was there with you.
The thought made her smile.
James. Who would have thought that she'd end up dating Hogwarts' biggest git? If somebody had told her two years ago that he would one day become the love of her life, she'd scoff and call them mental.
"What're you grinning at?" His amused voice roused her from her reverie.
"Just wondering what drug you must have given me in order for me to be willingly here with you right now."
"Oh so are you saying the only way I'll ever get you to forever be mine will be because of a love potion? Sad. Am I not handsome enough for you? Maybe you'd prefer Sirius. The girls certainly seem to like him. Or perhaps you'd rather someone a little more...similar - like Remus. Then you guys can get married and live in a bookstore." He teased.
"Hey! I resent that! And anyway, Sirius is, not unfortunately mind you, taken. Honestly I really don't think Zanna would appreciate me stealing her boyfriend. Merlin knows it took them long enough to actually get together. Honestly."
"Remind you of anyone?"
She glared at him and responded hotly, "I, unlike Zanna, had a perfectly good reason for not saying yes to your constant stalkerish attempts at asking me out."
He smirked. "You keep telling yourself that love, anyway you didn't answer my earlier question."
"And which one would that be?" She asked with raised eyebrows.
He leaned over her where she was lying on the grass, so close that she could feel his hot breath on her face causing her to flush deeply.
"Oh Lily, don't play coy, you're really not very good at it." He whispered teasingly, sending a shiver down her spine.
She huffed in indignation. "I'll have you know that I could 'play coy' perfectly well if I wanted to, Mr-Know-It-All."
"Love, stop changing the subject."
She found it hard to think straight when his face was so close to hers.
"Fine. Yes, the only way you'd ever get me down the isle would be if I were drugged."
"Liar."
"Oh really?"
He smirked, bringing his lips mere inches away from hers.
"Prove it. Marry me. Be mine, forever. No love potions."
"Yes." She whispered. "Oh, and Remus isn't my type."
He crashed his lips down onto hers, and didn't remove them for a very long time.
I'd love to know your thoughts! Leave a review if you want :)
