Merlin. Right now was a downright horrible time to start looking at the line of James Potter's jawline and how he had a bit of stubble under his chin and to notice that his lips were a little wind-chapped and his hair needed trimming. Awful timing, really. And yet, there it was. A feeling in his gut that said James Potter was dangerously attractive. Appealing, even.

Scorpius met the other boy's eyes in defiance. "You're ridiculous," he says, and that's...the lamest insult, but really, he's rather distracted by James's eyes, so please excuse his lack of wit.
