Moments with the Marauders

Malingering - To feign illness or other incapacity in order to avoid duty or work.

"James? I brought you some chicken soup. I heard you weren't feeling well, and this is what my Mum would cook for me when I was sick, so I thought that you might want… some… What are you doing?" Lily walked into the boys dorm, expecting to see a certain James Potter sick in bed, but actually saw him rugged up, as if he were going out, along with a deer caught in headlights expression on his face. He was clutching a worn piece of parchment in his hands, and had his wand poised over a section of the wall.
"Um… Well, you see…"

"You were never really sick, were you? Were you?"

"Well, no…"

"And here I was, feeling bloody sorry for you! But you're just a faking, lying prick! Here's your soup, I hope you enjoy it." Lily snarled, setting the bowl of hot soup down on James' bedside table, making some of it splash over the side.

"Lily this isn't what it looks like!"

"Yeah, whatever. That's what they all say." Lily sent a rude gesture his way, and stalked out of the room.
"Will you go out with me?" James called hopefully.
"No you bloody git."

Mirror- A reflective surface, glass coated with a metal amalgam, that reflects a clear image.

Lily Evans would look into the mirror in her bathroom every day, and think of herself as plain. She was pale, and had freckles, along with a flaming head of red hair that made her stand out from the crowd too much. To her, her only redeeming feature was her eyes. Those emerald green orbs would reflect back at her, and she'd sigh, wishing for Marlene McKinnon's golden curls, or Hestia Jones' tanned, un-freckled skin.
But then James Potter came along, and every day, he'd tell her that she was beautiful. She began to look into the mirror adorning the wall of her bathroom, and think of her hair as unique and daring, her freckles as cute and innocent.
Lily Evans used to think of herself as plain. But that was only until James Potter stumbled into her life.

Hope you liked it XD I'm putting this up for my poor sister who has to go to school. R&R!

Lots of love,
