James wasn't totally sure what time it was when he woke, but it felt early. Or late. It was hard to tell in this place, even without the sleepless nights that he was sure both he and Lily were suffering. Still, he did his best to keep as quiet as possible as he slipped out from under the covers and padded towards the bathroom for a shower.
Turning the water as hot as it would go, he did his best to think about anything but Peter and Halloween and the whole bloody mess of it. But, as always, it was all that filled his head. That and Harry, who was missed like someone had reached into his chest and scooped out something vital, leaving a aching hole behind. It hardly needed to be said that he stepped out of the water flushed red from the heat and feeling little better for it.
When he returned to the bedroom, it was into the crosshairs of a bright green stare. James scrubbed his fingers through his damp hair and reached for the pair of glasses he'd left on the sideboard, easing them onto his nose and putting his wife into sharp focus. "Sorry. Didn't meant to wake you."
