Hugs X James Potter

It had been a long day, an extremely long day. You were awake early, every lesson ran over and during your lunch you had to help these first years get their shoes back down from a tree.

Now at half seven, you were ready to collapse into your bed and pull the covers over your head.

You shuffled through the picture frame and could hear laughter in the common room. The fire was blazing and Remus was sat on the sofa in front of it with a book in his hands.

Between the armchair next to the sofa, was a coffee table. Currently, the chess board was sprawled out across the top and all cups had been set on the floor.

In the armchair, was James and sat on the floor playing chess was Sirius.

James's head picked up hearing someone enter and a large smile grew when he noticed it was you. As tired as you was and as grumpy as you wanted to stay, you couldn't help but become overwhelmed with joy upon seeing him.

"I feel like I haven't seen you all day!" James pushed himself up from the chair and alerted everyone else to your arrival. He rushed over with two open arms and pulled you into a tight hug.

Your head rested on his shoulder and your eyes immediately closed. You inhaled his comforting smell of his cheap vanilla aftershave and melted into his touch.

Softly, he placed a kiss upon your forehead and you smiled lightly.

"You don't happen to know about some first years getting their shoes stuck in a tree do you?" Your muffled voice asked James as you spoke into his shoulder.

"No... no- I don't think we do," James chuckled, of course he had everyone idea about what happened. "Do we Sirius?"

"Do we what, love?" Sirius looked up from the chess board, he was still trying to find his next move.

"First years, shoes, in trees?" James had a wicked smile wiped across his face and you couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't think so." Sirius shrugged and finally moved a piece.

James chuckled and stepped back, holding your shoulders firmly and smiled.
"You look worn out, my darling." James stated and you gave a weary nod.

He grasped your hand and led you over to the armchair, where he allowed you to sit down first and swing your legs over the arm and then he followed doing the same.

His arm looped around your shoulder and pulled you in close, James planted a kiss on your forehead again as you rested it upon his chest.

Sirius shuffled the table around and whilst he and Sirius placed chess, you began to nod off.

Sorry this sucked as well! Just a short one whilst I work on something else!
