AN I own positively nothing. I can dream though.


"Evans."

...

"Evans."

...

"Evans."

"What, Potter?"

James recoiled from the angered redhead. "I just wanted a hug..."

Lily furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

"A hug. When one's arms encircle another."

She rolled her eyes. "Why?"

"Because I love you."

"Ugh. Why can't you leave me alone?"

"I will stop bugging you for the rest of the day if you give me a hug."

Lily sighed and glanced at her watch. It was one, which meant one hug and she would have an entire afternoon Potter-free.

"Alright. One itty bitty hug and you disappear."

James leaped up and threw his arms around the girls of his dreams, who hesitantly hugged him back. This is nice, Lily thought. This is everything I hoped it would be, thought James.

Lily quickly pulled away. "Okay. You got your hug. Now leave."

"Leave? Why?"

"Excuse me? That was the deal!"

"No, the deal was I stop bugging you, not that I go away. I am at liberty to spend time with you as long as I don't annoy you. Am I annoying you now?"

Lily opened and closed her mouth, flabbergasted.

"Now, now, Evans. Lets do our homework. Don't distract me because that would be very annoying."

Lily crossed her arms. "You really are the Gaston to my Belle."

James grinned broadly. "I'll take that as a good thing!"
