Surely it would be odd to enter his room in the middle of the night, and Lily didn't want to give him the wrong impression, but in that moment she could think of no-one better to sit with whilst she banished thoughts of her parents, of her sister. Lily has a nightmare, and seeks comfort in James Potter, who could never resist a particular redhead.
It had only been the new year for a week, but Lily Evans had already broken almost all of her new years resolutions. In which Lily can't stop thinking about stupid James Potter, even though her new years resolutions stated that that was definitely not supposed to happen.
Lily Evans was a kind of glorious. Her hair lit up her surroundings, and her eyes caused you to forget about everything for a while. This James Potter reflected as he sat, firewhiskey in hand, regarding the head girl with a strange kind of solitude. But Lily Evans wasn't just a girl; Lily Evans had been the love of his life since he was eleven. Rated M for a couple of f-bombs.
Lily Evans broke his heart, and James Potter was struggling greatly to move past that. When he sees her that night, he needs answers as to why she just left him in the middle of the night. She just doesn't give the answers James wanted to hear. Loosely based on the song, Sometime Around Midnight.
Lily never realised how difficult it would be for her to raise a child, especially with James away for long periods of time. She can't cope with being on her own any more; she needs James more than she ever realised.
He could tell, sense it in his bones, that tonight was going to be a game changer; he just didn't realise how much would change. Tonight, she just knew, was going to be a game changer; she just didn't realise how much would change.
