STAG - [Fic; PG] A Quick Rummage by BeeDaily

[beedaily]

Title: A Quick Rummage
Author/Artist: beedaily
Team: Stag
Rating & Warnings: PG, Language.
Summary: "Lily knew she should have burnt the thing to ashes the moment Marlene passed it to her during History."

Truthfully, she'd forgotten about it entirely until, rummaging through her rucksack in search of the quill she'd filched from him yesterday, James jokingly remarks that he hopes she's not hiding anything embarrassing in there.

She lunges.

"I'll find it!" Her chair nearly topples over at the inelegant dive, but Lily somehow manages not only to successfully seize her rucksack strap, but also to remain off her arse doing so, an improbable victory. She gives the strap a forceful yank and the bag jerks out of James's grasp. She hopes her thin-lipped smile doesn't look as manic as it feels. "It's probably at the bottom. Such a mess."

James's hands are frozen mid-rummage. "Evans?"

Lily buries her very red face in the bag. "Hm?"

"What exactly do you have in there

This was very cute. Love James' characterization in it. ;)

James' last line is priceless, Bee! I loved how frantic the whole thing was from Lily's perspective and how calm James comes off. :) Wonderful, as always!

Love that James had seen it. Love your Lily, as always. Brill drabble, as is expected of you.

But my favourite bit was these two words: "rucksack ransacker". That just gave me inordinate amounts of pleasure.

Lily's panic and urgency comes through so clearly here - your skill in painting a vivid scene in the reader's mind is ridiculous! I love the banter between Lily and James here ("Yes, Potter, there is a drug for that little problem of yours and I'll see if I can drudge some up." - LOL!), and that final line - priceless!
