Prompts: Valentine's Day, conflict, chocolate. Here's my attempt to jump through all three hoops.

For the Fluff Thread.

“Will you sit next to me in class?” James asked, his hazel eyes softening for Lily as the Fat Lady swung shut behind them.  They trotted down the stairs hand in hand; he gave hers a doting squeeze.

“I told you, I don’t feel

I'm following the fluff thread but I can't post there yet so I hope you don't mind a comment here. I can't resist James. ;-)

I specially liked the way he dashed off the answers to bribe Delia into moving. That seems so him, somehow. Then not getting why Lily's upset with him, for all he's supposed to be brainy. (Blame it on being an only child of elderly parents! :LOL:)

The ending was lovely too, showing that Lily is a bit of a prankster too. I could see her following him around saying, "No, cold... cold... getting warmer... getting warmer... no, cold again." while he searches for what she got him. The comet! :grins: Clever!

I saw the prompt on the old thread and was having a go but having read others, mine has come out rather dark and not-fluffy.

You should post it anyway. As long as it's resolved - that was the hard part of the exercise.

Oh yes--the resolution is definitely the hard part of this exercise. Mine is eluding me, or rather, how to explain/describe the resolution is eluding me. I know what happens, it's getting it past the blinking cursor!

Thank you for the encouragement. :-)

Well, thank you for commenting! It's always fun to hear what worked best and "impishly clever" is part of James's characterization in my mind.

No,cold...cold... That does sound like Lily, lol. Now that you've provided such good prompts, I'm inspired to make James go hunting for his gift. ; )

I hope you do resolve and post your piece!
