Nightmares.
64. Nap

James had fallen asleep in a chair by the fire. He was snoring lightly and Sirius was all for sticking marshmallows up his nose. Before he could, James jerked awake.

“Have a nice nap did you?”

“Not exactly no. I was married to Evans. We were happy, we had a baby, a son who we’d named after my dad. We were in a cottage that we couldn’t leave and then…”

His face whitened.

“And then?” I prompted.

“And then some bloke who looked a bit like a snake came and killed us all.”

Sirius looked sceptical.

“You want to lay off the Stilton, mate."



(Stilton is a type of really strong cheese).
