one-shot: not so vile a sin

[thirty2flavors]

WHOOO I need to go to bed but first, I finished my redandthewolf fic challenge! With 20 minutes before the deadline! Hahah I win.

Title: Not So Vile A Sin
Author: _thirty2flavors
Summary: Midway through seventh year, Lily has come to accept many things about James Potter. The one thing she cannot seem to accept is his arrogance.
Excerpt: On the whole, she had come to realize, he was not so bad, and they were even – strange as it was to say – something like friends.

He was, however, and as she had always expected, undeniably, irrevocably, pathetically, hopelessly in love – with himself.
Rating: PG
Warnings: Um...? I've got nothin'.
Word Count: 1557
Author's Note: I actually had 98% of this written since about the first week of the challenge. I had plans for a second scene and then it just was not cooperating and then I realized, hey, I can cut the second scene all together and finish it on time! ... Kind of! With 20 minutes to spare, EST! Also, yay for extensions. =)
Prompts: For redandthewolf's Tales of Slings, Arrows and Outrageous Fortune: spine, and
Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin
As self-neglecting.
-Henry V, 2. 4

It'll be up on UR tomorrow. Right now I need bed.

Haha no problem! I love that poem. It's so... different from most of what you see posted, which draws me to it.
