Chapter 5: James, Albus and Lily
Coffee flavour: mudslide
Extra prompts: earth day, leaf, drizzle
It was dawn on the first day of summer and the sun was just poking its head above the horizon. The three Potter children were already awake, running around the garden in the early-morning drizzle. They slipped and slided on the soft, damp earth; and Albus almost fell over backwards, only managing to stay upright by grabbing a low branch of the big beech tree in the middle of the lawn. He pulled some of the leaves off of the branch in his haste to pull himself away from the ground and Lily turned on him, eyes wide and a pout on her lips.
"I'm telling mum! She said you had to be really careful not to hurt that tree, otherwise the Bowtruckles'll be angry!" she gloated, pointing triumphantly at her brother. She ran away from them down a small hill, careful not to fall on the muddy ground.
James and Albus exchanged a glance, then nodded and smiled at each other mischieviously.
"Lily, you'd better watch out," James called in a sing-song voice. Lily, almost at the back door, turned back to face them.
"Why?"
"MUDSLIDE!"
Please review, they are always appreciated.
