A/N-Well, I'm back! This is a new story that I just started working on, so I hope you enjoy it. My writing skills may be a little rusty, I dunno, but please tell me what you think of it.


The first thing Lily saw when she opened her eyes was the blue sky outside her window. The bright sunlight was streaming through the curtains, illuminating the entire room. She yawned and sat up in her bed, looking over at the clock on her bedside table.

"10:45? Damn," Lily muttered, swinging her legs off the bed.

She slipped on the green robe that was hanging on a nearby chair, and strode out into the kitchen. The smell of coffee immediately found its way to her nose, and she smiled.

"You're too nice," she said making her way to the coffee machine.

"Nothin's too nice for you, Princess," a masculine voice replied.

Lily looked over to the kitchen table, where an extremely handsome man sat. He had blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. He smiled and dimples clearly popped out. Along with a pair of Batman boxers, he was wearing an old, beaten up sweatshirt that brought out his tan complexion.

"Ooh, pancakes too?" Lily said with an appreciative look at the man, "Remind me to thank you later."

"Why don't you thank me now?" The man grinned as he stood up and walked over to her.

"Matt!" Lily giggled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and tickled her.

She turned in his arms and gave him a peck on the lips.

"I have to leave soon, remember? My new job starts today, and I really can't afford to be late!" Lily said, looking into his crystal blue eyes.

Matt looked down at her. Even though she had just gotten up, he thought she was still incredibly beautiful. Her red hair was tousled, and hung around her shoulders. The thing he loved about her the most, though, was her piercing, emerald eyes.

Lily let go of the embrace and headed toward the pancakes. She was desperately hungry, and piled three on a plate.

She then padded into the living room, where the television was singing its morning news. Sitting in her favourite armchair, Lily stuffed her mouth with pancake. She looked up at Matt, who was leaning on the doorway, smiling at her.

"What do you have planned today?" Lily asked with a mouthful of food.

Matt made his way to the armchair across from her, and sank into it.

"Nothin' really," he shrugged, "It is Saturday. Most people have the day off."

Lily narrowed her eyes at him and said, "This job is important to me, okay? I don't care if it requires working on the weekends."

Matt laughed lightly and replied, "Well, what if I do? I like to see you as much as possible, Lils."

Setting her empty plate down, Lily her hands on Matt's knees and said in a firm but sweet tone, "You know how long I've wanted this job, Matt. Years. And now that I've landed it, I'm going to do exactly as they want."

"I know," Matt sighed, "It's just…I don't get why you want you want to be a secretary. It's a boring job and people push you around all the time."

"It's something I've wanted to do since I was a kid," Lily said.

Matt's eyes followed her as she got up and headed toward the bedroom to get ready. He didn't notice the guilty look on her face, though.

Lily had a secret. One she couldn't tell Matt, ever, and that broke her heart.

She was a witch, and she was a vital part to the wizarding world. She never wanted to become a secretary; she wanted to be an Auror. Being an Auror required great skill and effort on her part. It was a job that was dedicated to taking down the evil in the magical world, and it was not to be taken lightly.

Today was Lily's first day as a fully-fledged Auror. She was nervous, but also incredibly proud of herself. Not many succeeded in becoming an Auror.

After about 20 minutes of washing up and dressing, Lily was ready. She chose a business-like skirt and blazer with black pumps. Her red hair was loose around her shoulders, and make-up was minimal.

"Alright, I'm off," Lily called to Matt as she grabbed her keys of the kitchen table.

Matt came into the kitchen and grinned when he saw her. He took her face in his hands and said, "You look great."

He kissed her warmly on the lips, and she responded by wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Mmm," Lily murmured.

"I'll see you tonight," Matt whispered as he broke their kiss.

"Yes, you will," she responded with a small, mischievous smile.

As Lily walked out the door, she thought it was a start to a pretty good day.

But how wrong she was.


A/N-I know it's short, but please tell me what you think!
