𝕸y eyes fluttered after stirring from my slumber the following morning, trying to gage where exactly I was.
I raised my head ever so slightly, the grip around my waist strengthening tightly as the warmth radiated from our bodies secured between the both of us. I must have drifted off being laid on top of Remus, and he must have done the same holding me. I groaned quietly, untucking my head from his neck and stretching my legs out on top of him as I observed him, my heart fluttering a little.
His cheeks were a rosy colour, much like his parted lips as soft breaths slipped between them unlike the quiet snores I could hear from James somewhere else in the room. His mousy hair was fluffed all over the pillow the way I like it the most. There's the warm glow on his skin from the sun penetrating through the window, only making his scars even more beautiful. He's so beautiful.
I edged closer, lazily pressing feathery kisses over his jaw before whispering in his ear, "I'll bring you some coffee"
Carefully prying myself from his grip, as he groaned, stretching himself out yet keeping his eyes closed, I glanced around the room, finding Regulus sleeping on James' chest on the floor with an array of cushions and blankets over them, my lips twitching at the way James was holding him close protectively. Realising Scarlette and Sirius must be in her bedroom I quietly made my way out of my room and downstairs to make some coffee.
"Morning little rainbow, how did you sleep?" Newt greeted moments later, strolling into the kitchen with Teddy waddling after him, my eyes flickering from my coffee when I took a seat, to the clock and finally to him, twitching my nose as I spoke,
"Lightly. You?"
"Soundly....I suppose it worked in your favour" He replied, sniffing as he brought his mug down from the cabinet, my eyebrow quirking when he turned around to me with a knowing smile, my shoulders shrugging as I defended,
"I didn't know they planned to come here, it was late I couldn't send them off in the middle of nowhere"
"I know, Lilo, i'm not mad" He reassures me, a surge of affection warming me inside at how lucky I am to have him as my godfather and parent. He looks out of the window again, leaning forward and sucking in a breath, "You would think James would be used to falling from playing quidditch, poor boy looks as though he's fallen from the sky"
"Dramatic is the highlighted characteristic in Potter blood— or Marauder in general" I chuckled, standing up with my drink and looking to where James was carrying the ladder with a painful expression, my lips twitching when Newt made his way over towards the door with a grin,
"Here, let me help you" Newt offered, helping him to balance the ladder against the window of his goddaughter's bedroom window, the bespectacled boy oblivious to what was going on as he nodded, allowing the older wizard to help him, "There you go..if you go back up to come down again, it will be a proper escape"
