James sighed as he finished another interview with yet another unqualified
person. He was looking for a secretary to help around his office. Recently,
James had become the head of the aurors apartment. There never used to be a
secretary around the office, but the office also used to be very poorly
run. Now that James was in charge, he decided to try to make it run a
little more smoothly. Every person that had applied for the job so far was
too old, too ditzy, too snotty, or just too something. Then again, some of
them just weren't enough of anything. Not to mention those who thought they
could come in looking like a slut, and seduce James into giving them the
job. Mr. Potter knew what he was looking for, and considering that he only
had 2 interviews left, his chances of finding his image was slim to none.
But there was that one glimmer of hope. He looked down to his clipboard and
read the next name off the list. His jaw nearly dropped at what he saw.
"Lily? Lily Evans?" He hadn't seen Lily since graduation! They had dated way back in their 6th year, and had remained good friends until they left Hogwarts.
"Am I late?" Lily was right on time for he appointment with James. She had given him an once-over when she first entered the room, and noticed he had somehow become more….more manly since she'd last seen him. James looked up, expecting to see a cute, brainy-looking young girl. Boy was he surprised. Lily had also changed for the better in the last 2 years or so. Somehow, she had developed a chest, grown a few inches, lost the think rimmed glasses, which had been replaced by sexy thin rimmed glasses, not to mention her new curvaceous shape. When James had stopped goggling over the former Head Girl of Hogwarts, he proceeded with the interview.
"SO Lily, what have you been up to lately?"
"Not too much actually. I took up a modeling job about 1 ½ years ago. I just thought I'd like to try a real job, and I heard about a job opening for the aurors apartment from Sirius. I had no idea you'd be here. It's nice to see you again." James and Lily hugged each other, glad to have a little beam of light in the gloomy atmosphere that had been wandering around the wizarding world since Voldemort had come to power.
"You still keep in touch with Sirius?" James asked. He had become a minor work-acholic lately and hadn't talked to Sirius since their last job assignment together, almost 10 months ago.
"Yea, and you don't?"
"Actually, not lately," James replied, feeling ashamed.
"Oh," Lily said politely.
"Anyway, on with the interview, what do you think makes you qualified for this job?"
"For starters, I know a great deal about organization, as you probably already know from your experience with me at Hogwarts….." As Lily continued on with her qualifications, James was fairly sure he had found his new secretary. He had to admit it, she was almost exactly what he had imagined for the job. Just a few more questions he needed to ask.
"So Lily, what's your current marital status?" The aurors administration had been qualified to ask this question to any new employees lately. If you were married or in a serious relationship, they often reconsidered hiring you since so many people involved with aurors had been killed lately.
"Actually, I'm single at the moment. I recently broke up with Mark Ashmore, you know the Ravenclaw?"
"Yes, I remember. Just a couple more questions and then we'll be done. Do you currently have a job?"
"Well, I still have that modeling job, but the hours are really flexible. I only have to go in about once a week on the evenings, or really early morning."
"Well then, just one more question and I think we'll be through here. Would you be interested in taking the job?"
"Are you serious?" Lily asked.
"Yup," James responded. "I've still got one more interview left, but I've got a feeling she's going to turn out like the rest of the bibmos I've seen today."
"Of course I can take the job! When should I start?"
"How about tomorrow I take you out to dinner and we discuss your contract, and then you can begin shortly after."
"Sounds great," Lily said enthusiastically. A light bulb went on in her head. "Would it be OK if I brought Sirius along?" You could visibly see James' eyes light up.
"That would be great!" he tried to contain his excitement. "Just like the good old days with the three of us."
"Great. I'll see you then!" Lily picked up her cloak and apparated home, leaving a very happy James. He had gone from not seeing his two best friends for what seemed like ages, and now he was going to see them both tomorrow!
"Yes!" he said to himself. "Tomorrow I'm going to have to clear things up with the ministry, make up a rough-draft of the contract, I'm forgetting something….ah, yes, shopping!" When James realized what he had said, he blushed to himself. "Jeez James, since when did you like shopping?" Since Lily Evans came back into my life, that's when.
A/N: Sorry this is a little short and plotless, but I hoenstly think I know where I'm going with this.
In the future….
*James, Sirius, and Lily are happily reunited.
*Voldemot makes a threat
*Sirius gets a girlfriend, and a new job
*Is love in the air??
