James Potter was many things.
A good athlete, a loyal friend, and Gryffindor's golden boy.
For Victoria Atkinson, he was everything she hated in others. He embodied the values that have been impressed on her since she was little. And that's exactl...

On a constant, there are days that you love. Some that are filled with memories, brightening your week, month or even year. They make you smile the brightest when you remember them, and let your heart swell with love. You relate those to the best parts of your life, even sometimes happen to be the best parts of your life with the impact of leaving memories. Sometimes temporary smiles on your face, other times, the goofiest mood you could have ever been in. You could relate those to certain parts of the history of your life or you could relate them to a person.
Like a ray of sunshine captured in your heart, despite it sounding that cliche.
February 12 had to be for Victoria nothing other than that. On regular occasions, the day would spend her the bright smile she sometimes needed, but as the first time in 5 years, she could spend it the first time eye to eye with the person that was the literal personification of the reason of her joy that day.
But it was the before that, that Victoria found herself tiptoeing up to the boys' dormitory, her steps being silenced by the red carpet that ran over the old stairs. There wasn't anyone up that time to see as it was almost 1 in the morning and despite the upper 3 years having O.W.L.'s or N.E.W.T.'s, there wasn't anyone in the common room learning.
As being sure that no one was awake, she resisted on knocking and just opened the wooden door, leading to the Marauders' dorm. But different from the last time she was there, the knock would have been needed as she was greeted with wide-awake seeming boys, each one staring surprised at the blond, dressed in pajama shorts and a t-shirt she took from either Lily or Marleen. She wasn't really sure.
While her expression was similar to the one Remus wore - shooked-, James and Sirius smirked smugly at the girl, the first one smirking even more as he noticed the length of her shorts.
"Äh - Oh, I - I didn't think you all were awake." She had to blush, seeing as she felt her cheeks getting warm. The boys kept mustering her shortly, seeming to have been in a conversation previously but not looking bothered by her sudden appearance, just surprised - even if only 3 of the 4 felt so-.
"Well Victoria, if you just couldn't wait for tomorrow to be with me, I could send away the guys and we could spend some time together." The cocky voice of James made not only Sirius pat him somehow on the back but also Victoria to roll her eyes with a muttered 'toe-rag'. He didn't seem to be bothered with that, more seeming more encouraged by the blush, that wasn't even from his line.
"Is there anything we could do for you Vi? , "Remus asked, having his eyes focused on her, but before the boy could answer, the Gryffindor that had been busy searching for something through his trunk, stood up again just to smile at the blond who came for him, now dressed in a baby blue apron over his PJ's.
