Author's Note: For the 50 prompts #21: Fire
Despite the freezing rain and sleet outside, it was warm and cozy inside James and Lily's house. A fire roared in the fireplace, and everyone was stuffed to the seams by the dinner Lily had cooked. Every once in a while, there would be a spate of conversation, but mostly, everyone was happy to just be together. Marly and Sirius were sitting cuddled together on the floor in front of the couch, Marly's head resting on Sirius' shoulder. Remus was lying on his side near the fire, occasionally reading the book that was open in front of him. Lily, just barely pregnant (and only having announced it at dinner that evening), was looking a little green around the edges while she lay on the floor with her head in James' lap. James' fingers stroked through Lily's hair as he and Peter talked in low voices about something or other. This was perfectly comfortable. Sitting there with Sirius, surrounded by their friends in front of a warm and roaring fire, Marly couldn't think of anywhere else on earth she'd rather be at this moment. If she could save time in a bottle, this night would be one she would save. |
