Re: log: lily & james & hiding harry
Honestly, James. Scones? [Her voice was pinched with disbelief, pastries at this hour made little sense. Although Lily readily conceeded to the fact that James rarely allowed for the merits of sense. Her hands naturally landed on her hips, elbows jaunty with matronly censure of the situation, but the stance fell a moment later when she took a step closer so that she might lean against the edge of one of the counters. The school had seen fit to appoint James as Head Boy, so scolding him over the matter of scones seemed like it would be an unproductive effort. It had taken her seven years, but Lily not understood that when it came to James, it was best to pick her battles.]
I'm not hungry. [In case he hadn't gathered that already. She took a moment to glance around the kitchen, green eyes thoughtful.] Does it feel strange to be back? [She'd been so excited for the school year, but now, with everything that came to light, Lily wasn't sure how to feel.]
