Lily didn't share James's enthusiasm for Quidditch, but she knew how much it meant to him, and the way he seemed to slump even more at the mention of not making practice made her heart ache for him. His life had been turned upside-down, and though he had only just begun to share with her, Lily got the sense that he was finding it hard to get his footing in all the ways he used to be able to.
"Tomorrow afternoon before dinner then - and we can go over the things that are due at the end of the week, so you're prepared." After a brief moment of internal debate, Lily wrapped her arm around James's shoulders, drawing him close again. He still looked like he needed a hug, and she was holding him to the promise of not hitting on her.
"This is only until you're back to your usual self of course," Lily chanced a playful smile in his direction, teasing him while trying to enforce the idea that he would bounce back from this. He was James Potter, after all, he was larger than life when he wanted to be. "Don't want you getting spoiled because I'm fussing over you and you aren't even poorly."
