Here’s my entry for the @thejilysanta even, for @myloveluna I hope you like it as much as I LOVED yours!
Prompt: get together one shot of James and Lily’s last year at Hogwarts.
Why do the books that you need always happen to be on the highest shelf? Lily thought to herself as she stood on her tip toes with her arm extended in the air doing her best to grab the book she needed to finish her essay.
“You do remember the summoning charm, don’t you?”
Lily’s head quickly turned around to see James Potter leaned up against the shelf opposite the one where her book still stood out of her reach with his arms crossed and a teasing smirk on his face.
“Yes, obviously,” said Lily with an annoyed huff as she returned to her attempts at grabbing the book.
“Well…then, why don’t you use it?” he asked.
Lily refused to admit that she just didn’t think of it in the stress of finishing this essay, so she replied with “I don’t feel like it.”
James chuckled, “You don’t feel like it?” he echoed.
“Nope,” replied Lily popping the ‘p’. She had now resorted to jumping to try and reach the book.
Now while James was thoroughly enjoying the show, he couldn’t not offer to help her, “Fine then, let me grab it for you.”
He uncrossed his arms and made a move to reach for the book, which he could easily grab, but Lily stopped his arm mid-reach. It was at this moment that the world seemed to stop for both of them.
