RP: Doting Date: 16 September 2002 Characters: Lily Evans & James Potter Setting: The Potter's house Content: TBD Status: Private
James swore, if he wasn't so crazy about Lily, he'd have killed her. Going and getting herself hurt over a bunch of animals. Sure, he'd come to tolerate her pet's presence, but really! As he heated up leftover stew from their dinner the night before, he thought about what could have happened. She could have died there, and this second chance would have been for nothing. A tight feeling started in his stomach and soon hit his chest and he had to sit down for a moment. After a couple of deep breaths, he took his stew off the stove and brought it into the living room. He'd finally begun sorting through all his projects and had spent the last two days working from out of their house - people knew they could come to him there if they needed anything fixed, and he was essentially open for work 24-hours a day this way anyway. With their datapads their only means of communication, James hated to think what would happen if someone spilled tea on theirs in a moment of panic.
Surrounded by projects he took out his own datapad and sent off a couple of notes - one of the Media Center to make sure things were in hand there, another to Sirius and Remus checking in - and then, ignoring his freshly made lunch, got to work continuing to organize (and yes, do some tinkering on --) the projects that were only half taking over the house by now.
