Re: log: lily & james; common room meeting
[She screamed. Oh, how she screamed. She screamed like roaches underfoot or rodents or rollercoasters from the Sears Tower. She screamed for half a second -- something involving a curse and the name of Merlin -- while slippered feet propelled her forward, then she pivoted. Before all of the sound was out of her mouth, she had her wand drawn(like any self-respecting Gryff). Upon seeing that it was James and not something more horrible, her expression clamped down into disapproval, abandoning terror.]
Oh, you bastard. [But even when she said it, breathless and flushed from a bout of fear, red hair all in her eyes, she smiled. Just for a second, that smile existed between them. And then she mumured, and she flicked her wand, and she knocked his glasses right off of his face.
It was an improvement over the years. She always used to break them right in half, but since a couple of weeks before this last summer break, she'd resorted to only knocking them askew(or off, depending on wind and mood). James' lack of comment on the matter was the only thing that kept her from trying to break them again. And Lily smoothed the front of her dress, with the wide ruffles that spilled across her shoulders like memories of disco.]
