Loving Lily – chapter 1
James Potter sat in the back of his dad's car staring out the window, thinking "whose house are we going to?" His mum and dad had been to diagon alley, that morning getting him a present for getting the head boy position, and met this couple and hit it off; they invited James and his parents for dinner. Of course when they got back to the house James was not feeling to great about it, they didn't even tell him whose house it was! He was getting very nasty thoughts about it, I mean what if it was one of his ex-girlfriend's, and Merlin knows he has enough of those. Of all the things running though his head James never once thought of whose house it was it never occurred to him that it would be her house.
Before he knew it they were there, to say James was nervous would be the understatement of the century, like saying Dumbledore was just smart. So here it was he was standing in the middle of a hallway, it seemed a nice house but still whose it was, was bothering him. He didn't have to wait long, as suddenly the girl of his dreams walked down the stairs in nothing but a towel. She didn't realise he was there at first but when she did she wasn't happy.
"Jam- Potter what are you doing in my house?" she shouted, if the little man in china needed a wake up call he just got it. James was stunned he dreamt about this moment seeing her walking down the stairs like that but if it was possible she looked more beautiful than he thought. In the time that James was looking at her, the adults had rushed in at the sound of Lily shouting. "Lily what are you shouting-"her dad stopped mid-way though his sentence as he realised that his youngest daughter was dressed only in a towel.
"Mum, why is he here?" Lily asked pointing straight as James, who still remained motionless. Lily had realised half way though last year that she didn't completely hate James but still to see him here in her house when she was only in a towel! She was mortified.
James's parents were just as stunned to see Lily like that as he was, they didn't know what to do, and as auror's they were trained to know how to react. Lily's mum was trying to calm her down, "Lily dear, this is the couple we met in diagon ally, Mr and Mrs Potter and their son James". Lily understood a little but she was still shocked, " I thought you said they wouldn't be here for another hour?!" basically shouted in her mums face. The truth was Mrs Evans had said that to Lily an hour ago, while she was in the shower but Lily had lost track of time, she had been thinking of James again.
Mrs Evans told Lily that she said that an hour ago but she was just mumbling about a black haired – hazel eyed boy. When she said this both Lily and James turned bright red, why was it parents always seen fit to embarrass their children around people they know?! They both silently made a vow never to do that if they had children.
A moment later Lily found her voice again after her face turning back to it's normal colour, "I…I'm g…going t…to g…get c…changed" and with that she turned to go with what she hoped would be grace but sadly that didn't happen. As right as she put her foot on the stairs the towel wrapped round her holding her dignity fell to the ground.
