After a Christmas "prank" goes awry, James Potter is forced to volunteer at his university's library. He dreads serving out his punishment until he meets a short redheaded girl named Lily. Muggle AU. (Part 1 of 2)
The next part will have more christmassy goodness :)
It was only the eighth hour of his fifty-hour punishment and James had already threatened to quit school twice.
A lanky 19 year old uni student, James Potter was trapped at the library reception desk. He had spent most of his shift doodling in his sketchbook but found himself to be uninspired in the dreary building. Instead he focused on having a staring contest with the wall clock, willing it to tick just the tiniest bit faster.
Realizing for the nth time that he does not have magic powers and is thus unable to speed up time, James resigned himself to moping about his situation.
‘This is all Mum and Dad’s fault,’ he pouted.
