Lily bounded down the stairs into the common room, jumping over the last step, and landing with a loud thud.

"'Lo, Alice!" she said, cheerfully. "Oh, sweets! Fantastic!" she grabbed a handful, popping a few in her mouth. Pausing for a second, she saw Potter.

Oh, bugger, she thought.

"Potter," she said, aiming for aloofness. Thanks to the candies, it came out as "Pothhher," and was not very aloof.

James blinked at Alice, then burst out laughing. "You almost had me going there!" he managed between hysterics, almost choking on his sweet. "I don't know La Marsailles well enough, sadly, but I... Lily! Hi! You don't have to eat those." He flapped his hand at the sweets. "I got you a big box of all of them especially. Just a sec."

Reaching down to the bag he had taken the sweets from in the first place, he pulled out a metallic purple box, wrapped with a shiny blue ribbon. It was, indeed, very big. It was also very full. And very, very, very expensive.

Well, he could afford it.

"Happy not-birthday, Lily," he announced with a grin, holding it out.

"You're just in time." Alice told Lily. "Potter was going to put on a show. Even if you don't know La Marseilles, James, do a handstand and wave flags with your feet. Please. For me." She batted her lashes at him.

Lily chewed her candy very slowly, observing the scene in front of her. Swallowing, she took the box from James.

"Er, thank you. I...didn't get you anything." This part was always the worst, the part in between him doing something sweet and something toerag-y.

Sitting down on the seat behind her, she glanced down at the box. "Handstand? Alice, what? Who's doing a handstand?"

"You don't want to know." James grinned. "Trust me. And you'll have to get me the flags first, Alice." Grinning, he reached over and grabbed a boiled sweet out of the bowl, popping it in his mouth. "So. Lily. Have a good summer? Don't worry, by the way, you didn't need to get me anything. Just give me a smile, that's enough. Date'd be nice, of course."

"Aaaand I'm gone. To get my Aberdeen QC flag from my room. It'll do as a Scottish flag for now. In fact, you can sing 'my bonnie lies over the ocean', if 'La Marseilles' isn't good enough. Right back, Lils." She began to head away; time to let them talk in peace.

Lily glared at Alice's retreating form. Turning back to James, she smiled politely. "Yes, my summer was quite pleasant. Uneventful, sure, but pleasant. And no, by the way. No date." She would have ended there, but common courtesy required her to add a "How was your, summer?" in response.

"Pretty cool." James grinned. "Italy was nice. None of the girls there were as pretty as you, though. I had to turn them all down. Maddie, for example, was distraught!"

Lily sighed. "Well, that's quite a thing for you to say," she said, trying to mentally summon Alice back. "I'm sure the whole of Italy was devastated when you left." She glanced around. "And...er...the architecture. Must have been nice."

"Oh, yes." James nodded sagely. "Rome's a really nice city. You should go some time. It's gorgeous. Did you go anywhere?"
