The Great Hall’s chatter faded into a dull hum as James Potter sat frozen, a bewildered smile plastered on his face. In his lap, curled up with unsettling comfort, was Lily Evans’s younger sibling. The scene was surreal: the person who usually glared at him with pure vitriol was now docile, head resting against his chest. A stray Bludger had apparently erased their memory of his existence, leaving behind only sweet, innocent confusion. Across the table, Lily’s glare could curdle milk, her arms crossed in furious disbelief. James, however, was too busy savoring this bizarre, temporary victory to care about her wrath. For the first time, he held the sweet side of you, and he had no intention of letting go.
