Marshmallows

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Harry Potter.

It's one o'clock in the morning on a Sunday night. I should be in bed getting rested for the day of classes tomorrow, but I can't.

I am in dire need of a hot chocolate with little colourful marshmallows in it.

The problem is, I don't know where the kitchens are, and I can't find James. Sirius and Peter are in detention for putting mice in Professor McGonagall's office, so I can't ask them… not like Sirius would ever show me the way anyways. Knowing him, he would probably poison it first.

Remus is in the astronomy tower with Professor Sinistra, doing a star chart he missed, due to last week's full moon.

Gah! Where is Potter when you need him?

It's one thirty now… a whole half an hour has passed and still no James.

Squeak.

I whip my head around to see Remus clambering through the portrait hole, looking extremely tired and ready to fall into bed.

"Lily? What are you still doing up?"

"Hi Remus, I couldn't sleep…I'm having a craving for hot chocolate with marshmallows, and I can't find James to take me to the kitchens." I say.

"Oh, well James is probably off wandering the halls somewhere…"

"Jeez, he's Head Boy, you'd think he might want to tone it down a bit." I say smiling.

Remus smiles back. "Well, he's still a Marauder. Don't worry though; I'm sure he'll stay out of trouble."

"Yeah" I agree. "Well, thanks Remus, goodnight."

"Goodnight, Lily." Remus replies. "And I'll be sure to tell James you were looking for him."

I slowly make my way upstairs and close my eyes drowsily as my head hits the pillows, escaping into a dream world of giant marshmallows and mysterious children, all with black hair and green eyes.

The next morning as I make my way down to breakfast with Alice, James Potter is waiting for me with a cup of hot chocolate and those little marshmallows.

A/N: This is just a story that I randomly thought of while craving marshmallows and thought it would make a cute story…kind of fluffy like a marshmallow. :) And I would like to thank my beta gryffindork.2007 for all her help!
