Something special

      Noisy doorbell has been ringing for five minutes straight. Lily opened her heavy eyes and started whining to herself.       — Who the hell needs me right now? — she complained very angrily, putting all her effort to get up. While walking to the door, she was leaning onto cold walls, that looked annoyingly white these days.       When she finally opened the door, she saw a young man, smiling happily at her with a bouquet of flowers — lillies — and a bag with some medicine there. James.       — Potter? — she asked surprised, thinking about the possibility of hallucinations caused by the flu.       — Exactly, ma'am, — he bowed to her semi-jokingly.       — What are you doing here? We have three lectures this morning!       — McKinnon said you are sick, so I just wanted to check on my favourite prefect! — James smiled even harder, and some stars blinked in his eyes. — Don't worry about the lectures, Sirius will tell everyone that I broke my ribs or something to everyone in the uni, so I'll be excused!       — What a drama queen, — Lily rolled her eyes, but she couldn't hide the happy smile from his words. Lately, it was too hard to not smile because of James Potter.       — May I come in? — The way he asked was almost sad and shy, which surprised Lily even more. Since when is he like this?       — Sure, — she stepped out of his way, and leaned onto a wall. Her legs were already shaking for a couple of minutes, but she did not mean to show James her weakness.       — Are you okay? — His voice was filled with genuine worry, when he saw her closing eyes.       Lily was barely standing on her feet, when she felt the warmth of his body around her. He was hugging her tightly, but incredibly gently.       — Oh my god, you're so hot! — he whispred shockingly.       — Really, Potter? Now? — Lily frowned, while trying to push him away.       — No-no!.. — James tried to explain himself. — I meant your body temprature!.. It's so hot, you have a horrible fever!       — I know... — her weak whisper was barely audible.       James easily picked her up and rushed to the bedroom. She put her on the bed very lightly and left a little kiss on her forehead.       — Here, take this! — he gave Lily a pill, and she immediately swallowed it. — Don't worry, that's a good medicine! Mom said that it always worked on me when I was a kid. Just wait a bit, please!       James embraced her completely, rubbing his fingers through her hair and whispering something with his gentle voice. Lily was breathing in his sweet perfume and comfort spread through her body.       James always felt like a sun. But now he was her safe haven, and she knew that she will never let him go.       Maybe that was the start of something special...
