DDD: 36 - Log with Lily [Apologising at rounds]
James was very glad when the virus was over. He'd had fun with his 'brothers' at the start of it but it had gone downhill fast. First Snape's body and then seeing his own death, it really hadn't been the best week of his life. And it certainly didn't help his relationship with Lily. So on their rounds the following week, James decided to do something about it.
They'd just finished and were heading back to the portrait of the Fat Lady when he stopped in front of her with a worried sort of smile, not his usual expression by far, and held out a tiger lily.
"I got this for you. To apologise for everything I did and said last week. I know I was out of line even with the community's influence and I want to make it up to you." He paused then added something. "If...if you'll let me."
He stood there awkwardly holding out the flower and waited for her to respond. It was do or die time and he really hoped she would accept his apology. He had really enjoyed being her friend and he didn't want it to stop now because his own stupidity. Though he knew he couldn't and wouldn't blame her, if she wanted to end it.
