I don't ask for much in life, really. To keep my good grades, my friends, and maybe to have a little adventure. Currently, I am seriously lacking in the adventure department.
Marlene is happy flirting with Andrew, and Alice and Frank have finally gotten together. Emmeline is more than happy teasing Alice and secretly drawing portraits of Sirius Black in her sketchbook. We're having fun; yes, but I can't help but feel that something's lacking...
It occurs to me in the form of ... him. Since it's Halloween, It's time for the Marauders annual prank on Peeves. There's rumors that this year is going to involve a flying carpet and enchanted leprechauns, but I find them quite hard to believe.
So I am quite surprised when I run into James, who should be preparing for the prank. He is sitting on the stairs, content, with his head leaning against the railing and his legs propped up, arms resting on his knees. And again, he is alone.
I smile, trying to forget our last encounter, and attempt to walk by without saying anything. As I climb the stairs, he reaches out and touches my ankle.
I'm blushing, and not even trying to hide it. He isn't even smirking, just smiling up at me, letting his hand rest delicately above my shoe.
"Don't you dare say anything about being able to look up my skirt, James Potter." I laugh as I say it; more than necessary, probably. I bend down and grab his hand, removing it from my ankle.
Not a wise move, Lily. I notice now how big is hand is in comparison to mine, and it actually makes my stomach drop.
He remains silent, but his smile has faded; his eyes have become more serious. I don't want to tear away my gaze. What I want is for the stupid staircase to suddenly jerk, and for me to fall down on him and finally experience his beautifully pink lips.
But my wish doesn't come true. He eventually looks away, uttering a soft "Bye, Lily." and I continue up the stairs.
My ankle is burning.
Review, please!
I didn't like this one as much, so sorry if you didn't either.
