Who: Lily and James When: Jan 10th 1977, evening Where: in the common room What: Desperation, and possibly a few epiphanies Rating: PG
James sat on the floor by the fireplace, one leg curled up by his chest, and the other stretched out almost touching the hearth. He had Lily's present wrapped about his neck, and he stared as if mesmerized into the fire. He whistled a Muggle punk song softly, and leaned his head back on a cushion of a chair. There were a lot of things rolling around in his mind, but he wasn't going to bring them up tonight. There didn't seem a point to. Everything would work out, eventually. Speaking of which, where was Evans anyway? Why was she so late?
