Lily smiled and nodded, snuggling up to Riley affectionately. She would stay, definitely. Whenever Riley needed her, she'd be there, snuggling and cuddling just like she was now, with words to help and make things look a little brighter. She knew, oh how she knew, Sirius was smitten over her best friend as much as Riley was over him. She and James liked to roll their eyes at them when they weren't looking. She took up the notebook again and wrote on it before showing it to Riley again.<em>He won't say no. </em><br/><br/>The next morning the sky was clouded over and soft big flakes of snow were falling down, coating the world with a wonderful whiteness that made it sparkle. Lily yawned. She'd stayed awake, stroking Riley's hair until she fell asleep, and soon after, Lily had been out cold. She'd been too tired to move into her own bed, so she'd just stayed with Riley, snuggling close and comfortably. She rubbed at her eyes and snuggled close to Riley again, not quite ready to get up yet, intoxicated on cocoa and minty goodness aftermath she was. She very much wanted to go back to dreamworld... where there was a lot of minty whipped cream and candy cane castles.<br/><br/>"I... I..." Sirius gulped. "James,... I think I might be in bloody love."
