Belong
After a particularly nasty Potions lesson, Lily and James decided to skip their afternoon study session and went down to watch the sunset by the lake.
"What are you thinking, Lil?"
James was greeted with silence. Cracking an eye open, he turned on his stomach and regarded his girlfriend, lying on her back and staring up into the leafy canopy of the tree they were lazing under.
"They're right…" she murmured, more to herself than to James. "They're right about everything. I don't belong here."
James scoffed. "Just ignore it, love. They're stupid bigots."
A lone tear slipped out the corner of her eye, rolling down the side of her face and disappearing into the grass. "How can you say that?" Her voice was a broken whisper. "It's not just me—they're dragging your name through the mud, too."
"I don't care what a pack of close-minded Pureblood gits think of me." He leaned over her, upside down, and pressed a chaste kiss to her forehead. "You shouldn't either."
Thanks for reading! Please review!
