Chapter 1
18 year-old Lillian Evans, was awaiting the arrival of her monthly patient, Mrs. Potter, to come. Lily was working as a Doctor at the Gleneagles Magical Hospital. (A\N: They must have been other hospitals in the wizarding world. Not only St. Mungo's, right?) She had been working there for almost 5 months since her graduation from Hogwarts
She had been in Ravenclaw. She hadn't kept much contact with her friends since then. She had a hectic schedule because the hospital was under- staffed. Mrs. Potter was one of her favourite patient. She could chat pleasant things and talk casually with her. Lily felt bored. Mrs. Potter was late for her appointment and she had already been waiting for 15 minutes. Then suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in,' Lily said a bored manner.
" Good morning, Dr. Evans. Sorry I'm late. I had a tough time waking my son up," she said cheerfully while coming in and taking a seat across from Lily.
" Good morning to you too, Mrs. Potter. That's is quite okay," Lily said.
"Sometimes James is a slob but he is an obedient and responsible son," Mrs Potter said appraisingly of James. Lily inwardly snorted when she heard that. But nonetheless, she said nothing and merely nodded her head at that comment. She continued for sometime looking at Mrs Potter's health report while examining her.
All the while, Mrs Potter was thinking. " Oh, she will be the perfect wife for James. She's a smart, organised, young and responsible girl. She is very beautiful. I'm going to see her parents to talk about this. In a few months I might have a good daughter-in-law. Oh, what an honour it will be if it is Lily," she thought to herself while looking at Lily who was still examining her, unaware that her future was being decided.
" Well, that's it for today, Mrs. Potter," Lily said after awhile.
" Err. Lily where do your parents live?" Mrs Potter asked Lily suddenly.
" Oh, you know them?" she said shocked.
" Yes, I know your mother, Suzanne Evans. I met her a few months ago in muggle store in London. She invited me to come visit her but I couldn't find the time to do so," Mrs Potter replied smilingly.
Lily took out a parchment and wrote down the address and handed it to Mrs. Potter
" Why don't you pay her a surprise visit tonight?" Lily asked.
" Sure. Why not? Would you be there then?' Mrs Potter asked back happily.
" I won't. I have a staff meeting this evening," Lily replied sadly.
" Oh, that's okay, dear. Well. I guess I shall be going now. I have to be home and prepare lunch," Mrs Potter said while getting up.
" Okay, Bye, Mrs Potter. See you next month," Lily said.
" Bye, dear," Mrs Potter said before disapparating with 'pop'.
" Ooooookay. That was certainly weird. I wonder why she wants to see mom," Lily said before resuming doing her work. She would be in a for real shock. That's for sure.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~* Later that evening, Mrs. Potter went to pay the Evans a long overdue visit. Mrs. Evans was slightly shocked at the visit. She thought that Mrs. Potter would never pay her that visit. But nonetheless, she received her with utmost respect.
" I was starting to think you would never visit us. Oh, well! I suppose you were really busy. Why don't you come in?" Mrs. Evans said while gesturing for her to come in.
" Your daughter is Lily Evans, right?" said Mrs. Potter while entering the house and walking towards the living room alongside Mrs. Evans.
" Why, yes. How did you get acquainted with her?" said Mrs. Evans slightly shocked.
"She's my doctor. Actually, that was why I came to see you about," Mrs. Potter said while sitting a seat.
" Why? Did she do something wrong? Did something happen to her?" asked Mrs. Evans slightly concerned and worried that something had happened to her.
" Nothing like that. I admire your daughter very much and see that she is very responsible girl. I've come to ask your daughter's hand in marriage to my son. So what do you say?" said Mrs Potter smilingly.
" What?" Mrs Evans slightly shocked and dazed at the pervious question. "I mean. I don't understand."
" I want your daughter as my daughter in-law. What do you say about that? Yes or no?" asked Mrs. Potter calmly.
" I- I th- think that is a wonderful idea. Lily hasn't been dating anyone for some time. I guess she won't mind"
"Great! But we have better organise the wedding in 4 months before the children change their mind," said Mrs. Potter.
" Okay. I'll tell Lily tonight when she gets home. This is so marvellous. So, when are you going to inform James then?"
" I'll tell him tonight when he gets back from work."
" Anyway, what does James work as? "Mrs Evans.
"He works as an auror don't think you would know that but it's quite a dangerous job,"
"Really, what does he do?" Mrs Evans asked becoming interested.
" You've heard about the Dark wizard'Voldemont'"
"Yes, I heard from Lily that he has lots of supporters and he kills innocent people for no reason"
"Well.my sons job is to track down he's supporters and bring them to Azkaban the wizards prison"
"Sounds dangerous," Mrs Evans said shuddering
"Okay.I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow and we can start planning the wedding," Mrs. Potter said standing up.
"I suppose so. Let's meet at The Leaky Cauldron tomorrow, then," Mrs. Evans asked escorting her to the door and opening it for her.
"All right, I'll see you tomorrow .Bye," Mrs Potter answered before disapparating with a pop
Mrs Evans shook her head and closed the door and said to herself "I still don't understand this wizards, they make you open the door but once there, they disapparate. Even Lily does it," She let out a sigh before going back to her kitchen.
