Chapter 1: Birthday and Bathroom Surprises
Lily Evans walked up the path to Adams Estate. Her bright green eyes
flashed in the sunlight and her red hair was flapping in the wind. Lily
was 16 years old and was a witch.

It was the end of summer holidays and Lily was visiting her best friends
Morgan Adams and Jeannie Potter. It was Morgan's sweet 16 and Morgan
invited all her friends to her estate for a weekend of fun before they had
to return to Hogwarts, the Wizarding School they all attended.

Morgan had invited Lily, Jeremy Sumpter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Jeannie
and James Potter. James had always been Lily's enemy since the first day
of school, ever since they laid eyes on each other. But recently James had
been staring at Lily and continuously asking her out, much to Lily's
dismay.

But James was a given at Morgan's party. Jeannie and James were Morgan's
cousins and best friends. Morgan knew how James likes Lily and how Lily
despised him, but she liked to play matchmaker with Jeannie.

Lily walked up to the large oak doors and knocked...
She waited patiently as she heard someone coming to the door. One of the
large oak doors opened and Morgan's butler, Joseph, who lead her inside.
"You have come for the party Miss Evans? The Misses and Master James are at
the back." Joseph said, taking Lily's luggage. Lily had planned to stay
the night with the girls and, to her dismay, James. She was very excited
to be with all her friends for Morgan's birthday, especially her sweet 16th
birthday. Ever since her Mom had died three years ago, she had become even
closer to her friends and hung around with them whenever she could.
Lily walked through the large estate right out to the back yard. She had
been to the Harold's so much, she knew her way around like the back of her
hand.
"Hey Lily!" said Kelsey Harold, Morgan's younger sister as she walked into
the mansion with an empty jug in her hands. Kelsey was 13 and in her 3rd
year at Hogwarts. She had short blonde hair and was very pretty.
"Hey!" replied Lily. She looked around the backyard. It was an enormous
yard. It had a mini lake and a large tree house in one of the big oak
trees. She spotted Morgan, Jeannie, James and Remus over by the lake. She
smiled as she ran over to her friends.
"Hey guys!" Lily screeched as Morgan and Jeannie pounced on her with hugs.
"I'm so glad you could come! I was so freaked out that you wouldn't
because of, well, James!" Morgan rambled on.
"Oh thanks, that sure makes me feel better," James said sarcastically.
"Shut up Jamsie!" Morgan and Jeannie yelled in unison.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Morgan! Happy Birthday," Lily said,
ignoring James' remark.
"We are gonna have so much fun this weekend!" Jeannie squealed.
"I know! And this birthday, Peter Pettigrew won't be here to mess it up!"
Morgan said proudly, sitting back down with Sirius and James. Jeannie and
Lily followed.
"I don't know, Morgan. The cake in the face was pretty funny!" Sirius
said.
"I don't think so!" Morgan said.
"I agree with Sirius, Morgs!" Jeannie laughed.
"Who cares, he's not here this year to mess up Morgan's birthday!" Lily
chuckled.
"Hey! I resent that! He's our friend!" James said.
"I could hardly call him a friend, more like pity payment!" Lily scoffed,
now standing up.
"Really?" James smirked. He walked over to Lily and picked her up.
"James? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lily screamed as he walked her over to the
lake," NO JAMES! PUT ME DOWN! NOOOOO!"
James threw her in the lake. Lily rose up fuming mad and splashed James.
"How dare you?" Lily puffed.
"I think I do dare! Besides, Lily, you're wearing a white shirt!"
"JAMES POTTER!" Lily screeched as she covered her chest. Lily was really
starting to get mad now. How dare he make a remark after what he just did?
"James!" cried Morgan. "What do you think you're doing? Come on Lily; let's
get you into some dryer and different clothes shall we?" Lily ran out of
the water up to Morgan and together they walked back to the mansion.
"James you prat!" said Jeannie slapping his head.
"Ow! That hurt!" replied James.
"Well it better James Potter! I have never been so ashamed of my brother...oh
except for that one time...well that's not the point!" Jeannie started
rambling on at James as Lily and Morgan left for the mansion.
Sirius, who had been forgotten, was doubled up laughing silently off to the
side.
Jeannie rambled on for several more minutes as James stood there not really
listening and looking out across the lake.
"James? Are you even listening to me? James! Grrr.." came Jeannie's voice,
pulling James back to reality.
"Unfortunately, I am now." Replied James.
Jeannie opened her mouth to say something when she was interrupted by
Sirius.
"Hey Remus!"
"Remus! Just in time!" said James walking up to Remus so he wouldn't have
to listen to Jeannie anymore. "Go keep Jeannie busy, she boring me with
another lecture!" James whispered as he greeted Remus. Remus just nodded
and walked up to Jeannie who was glaring at James.
"So Jeannie, how's it been?" asked Remus.
"Fine." Jeannie replied through clenched teeth, still glaring at James.
"Wow, that glare is wicked!" replied James backing away.
Jeannie made a go for him but Remus caught her arm and dragged her away
from James and kept her busy.
As this was all happening, Morgan brought Lily up to her room. It was
decorated like a normal teenage witch lived there. It had pictures of her
friends and famous wizards plastered over the walls, the latest fashion
items strewn over her floor and make-up items scattered on her desk. The
whole room was painted light blue, had golden trim and blue velvet
material.

"You re-decorated!" Lily exclaimed.

"Oh, right. It's one of my Mum's new hobbies, decorating. She did it
while I was away at school." Morgan whispered.

"It's gorgeous!" Lily said, while feeling the soft velvet curtains.

"Anyways..."Morgan said, changing the subject, "I'll get you a towel, while
you can change. Do you know where the guest rooms are?"

"Ya. I've been here enough to know," Lily laughed.

"Your luggage will be in your room...and you might want to take a shower.
The lake water isn't the cleanest," Morgan giggled.

"Fair enough," Lily said as she turned around and walked down the hallway.
She walked a fair-ways until she reached a doorway to her right. The guest
room was luxuriously decorated in gold, peaches and pinks. There were 2
four poster beds, desk, mirror and closet. Her luggage was by the bed.
Directly in front of Lily there was a door that led into a bathroom. The
bathroom was just as beautiful as the rest of the house. It had a toilet,
sink, bathtub and a shower. The shower was open to the rest of the room
and had glass walls around it. There was also another door in the
bathroom.

"Beautiful!" Lily said.

There was a knock at the door, and Morgan appeared in the doorway with a
handful of towels.

"Hey!" Lily said.

"I thought you would like it in here! Jeannie is gonna stay in this room
with you, is that ok?"

"Perfect!" Lily replied.

"Remus and Jeremy will be across the hall and James and Sirius are beside
you. They also share a bathroom with you."

"What?" Lily asked.

"Ya, I know. But James and Jeannie are brother and sister, and Sirius is
like a brother, so I thought that they would be most comfortable sharing a
bathroom. There is another bathroom down the hall if you want!" Morgan
exclaimed.

"No, no! It's fine!" Lily said, not wanting to trouble Morgan any further.

"Jeannie might be coming up shortly, we're all going to get ready to eat
downstairs soon!" Morgan said cheerfully.

"Ok, thanks!"

"No problem, Lils!" Morgan said as she left the room.

Lily decided to have a shower. She undressed herself in her room and
walked in the bathroom. She turned the nosel, it was completely silent.
The water pounding on the tile made no sound at all.

"Cool, soundless water!"

She rinsed herself under the hot water. Her red hair turned dark burgundy
when wet....


*meanwhile*


James madly walked away from the laughing group, soaking wet. Jeannie had
gotten away from Remus' grip and pushed him in the lake.

"Damn her!" James said in a hushed voice, "I'm going to get her back so
bad!"

He walked up to the castle, dripping wet and smelling very badly. He
walked into the room that he and Sirius shared. Even though they arrived
yesterday, the room was a pig-sty. He undressed himself and was about
to change into clean clothes, when he smelt himself.

"Sick!" He thought, "I need to have a shower!"

He walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind him.

Lily shut off the water, she was about to step out of the shower, when she
noticed a figure through the glass. Her heart dropped to her stomach. She
threw her head around the glass wall.

"James?" She screamed in a hoarse voice.

"Lily?!?!" He said, and twirled around to face the source of the voice.

Lily screwed her eyes shut; only seeing a glimpse of James.

"James! GET OUT!" She yelled her voice now stronger.

"What? I'm having a shower!" He smirked.

"James, get the hell out of here!" She screamed.

"But why, Lily dearest?" He laughed.

"Because...because...I'm...well, you very well know why!" She stammered,
closing her eyes even tighter.

"But I don't, please enlighten me!" he said, edging his way closer.

"I'M NAKED! That's why!" She screamed.

"Who cares, Lily, I'm naked!" James said, trying to get a better view.

"James, stay where you are! And I care, because I don't want to see YOU
naked!" She pouted.

"How would you know I'm getting closer? Trying to get a peak, are we?"
James said, ignoring her insult.

"NO! I can hear you, your voice is getting closer! NOW LEAVE!!!" She
screamed.

There was a knock and the door creaked open.

"Lily, are you ok? I heard screaming...JAMES?!?!?!?!? My eyes...I'm scared
for life! My God!!"

It was Jeannie. Her hands were rubbing her eyes viscously and whimpering
in the corner.

"Jeannie, is that you?" Lily said, eyes still closed.

"Unfortunately," Jeannie whimpered.

"Ummm....I'll just leave now!" James said scurrying out of the room.

"YES, LEAVE!!!" Jeannie and Lily screamed after him.

"ARGH!!!!! That was the worst thing I've ever seen!" said Jeannie
cautiously opening one eye.
"I'm glad I didn't see anything!" replied Lily. "Is he gone? Can I open my
eyes now?"
"Ya he's gone." Replied Jeannie. "What happened? I mean, how did both of
guys get in here?" Then Jeannie gasped.
"NO!" cried Lily horrified, her eyes wide and angry.
"What?" asked Jeannie.
"Oh nothing." Lily muttered, a little embarrassed. "I was having a shower
cause of the lake and...your brother..." Lily emphasized 'your brother' with a
touch of disgust in her voice. "When all of a sudden he was in here, you
know." Jeannie nodded. "I yelled at him and then you came in and he left."
"I see." Replied Jeannie. There was a pause then Jeannie realized that
Lily was probably not dressed. "Oh! I'm sorry. Thought you were dressed.
I'll leave now. Call me if he comes back in." Jeannie quickly ran out the
door.
Lily was once again alone. She then realized that she was shivering and
quite cold after standing there without the warm water on for some time.
She quickly ran to the door and opened it so she could see out but no one
would see her naked if anyone was in the room.
She peeped through the crack and stifled a little cry. There was James,
fully dressed now, thank goodness, and Sirius looking around for something.
Lily started to panic. What if they found here? She was still naked and
she didn't want James to see her this time. She quickly ran to the other
door that leads to the boys' room. She opened it a bit, like before, and
seeing no one, ran inside.
She looked around the messy room for some suitable clothes. Nothing was
suitable in her opinion, especially if James had worn it. The best thing
she could find was some black baggy pants, a black hoody, and a white t-
shirt with 'Quidditch' across the front.
"This'll have to do." Lily muttered to herself. She quickly put the
clothes, hoping dearly that they didn't belong to James and she wouldn't
get caught in someone else's clothes. She ran back into the bathroom
because she figured that she could change into her own clothes when the
boys had left her room. Why they were in there, she hadn't the slightest
idea.
The boys were nowhere to been seen. Lily went over to her suitcase and was
picking out some clothes when someone knocked at the door.
Lily cursed under her breath and went to the door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Lily? It's Kelsey." Came a reply.
Lily sighed. At least it wasn't one of the boys. There was still hope!
She opened the door and Kelsey walked in.
"Come on Lily! Everyone's waiting!" Kelsey said, grabbing Lily's arm and
pulling her out into the hallway.
"Wait! I'm not dressed yet!" Said Lily, trying to get back into her room.
"Don't be silly!" replied Kelsey, dragging Lily to the grand staircase, she
was very strong for a girl of 13. "You're already dressed!"
Lily tried to get out of Kelsey's grip but it was no use. She would go
downstairs and everyone would know, or at least the owner of the clothes
would, that she was wearing someone else's clothes. Then she would have to
explain it all. Which she did NOT want to do. How embarrassing!
"What are we having?" asked Lily defeated.
"Pizza!" exclaimed Kelsey. Kelsey loved pizza.
"Mmhmm" replied Lily, realizing that, in just a few seconds, she would be
found of wearing not only someone's clothes but Sirius' or even worse,
James'.
Lily closed her eyes shut as Kelsey dragged her into the kitchen. She
waited helplessly but nothing happened. She could hear people talking but
no one was talking to her. She opened her eyes. Not only was no one
talking or laughing at her, not one of the boys were even looking at her.
"Pizza?" asked Morgan, holding up a pizza box.
Lily smiled. "Pepperoni, please!"
Morgan handed over a plate with some pepperoni pizza on it. Lily took a
bite and sat down next to Morgan.
They were all seated around the kitchen island. Morgan and Jeannie were on
either side of her. Then Jeremy, who had shown up, was seated next to
Morgan and James was next to Jeremy. Sirius was across from Lily and next
to him sat Remus. Sirius looked up at Lily from eating his 4th slice of
ham and pineapple pizza. He cocked his head to one side and frowned.
'This is it!' thought Lily. 'I'm going to get caught.' She waited for
Sirius to say something but he never did.
'Those clothes look familiar!' Sirius thought to himself. He shrugged, not
being able to think of where he had seen the clothes before. 'Probably at a
store.'
Lily silently sighed, once again, at not being caught. She couldn't
believe her luck.
"Cool clothes Lily!" Jeremy called to Lily. When Jeremy said this,
everyone looked at Lily. No one seemed to notice that these weren't her
clothes though.
"Ya, I love them!" said Sirius.
"Um...thanks." replied Lily. "Shall we open presents next?"
"YA!" Morgan said eagerly.
