Here's another drabble dare from tasha27, FIRE. I think it went well, but let me know. Oh, and can anyone tell me what AU means? That would be very appreciated. REVIEW!
The light from the fire reflected in her red hair and made it glow like the flames in front of her. She hummed softly to the baby cradled in her arms as she rocked him back and forth, smiling as he grabbed her shirt with his tiny hand in his sleep. She leaned down and kissed his forehead softly.
Her husband came up behind her and leaned down until his lips brushed her ear.
"I love you, Lily."
Lily smiled. "What about Harry?" she asked, looking pointedly down at their son.
"I love him too, of course."
James circled the couch and sat down beside Lily.
"Do you remember," Lily began, looking into the fire, "when we sat on the couch in the Gryffindor common room watching Sirius and Remus play Wizard Chess? And Remus absolutely obliterated Sirius?"
James chuckled. "Yes, and then Sirius had to get up and sing some Muggle song because he and Remus made a bet..."
Lily laughed and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I wish we could go back to then."
"What about Harry?" James asked, in a surprisingly good imitation of Lily's voice.
Lily rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't give him up for anything. Even another night in the common room."
"Good. Because you look just as beautiful beside this fire," James told her, kissing the top of her head.
Lily shook her head, her cheeks turning a faint red. "You still make me blush, James," she complained.
James smiled. "And I hope that never changes."
