Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or anything related to it.

A/N oh I feel really cool writing that… this is my very first fic so please enjoy it! Ready… set… GO!

The war was raging. People were dying. No one was safe with Voldemort on the rise, especially muggleborns. That is why the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors out to live by muggleborns and their families for secure protection. Now, this made a one Jame Potter a lucky man.

Both his parents were Aurors very high up at the ministry, so naturally they were sent to protect a certain muggleborn student that they were sure would be a target. Hogwarts resident bookworm and soon-to-be head girl Lily Evans. Yes, you heard it right folks, James Potter would be living right next door to Lily Evans for the whole summer.

"Lily dear, we need to go meet the new neighbors!" howled Nora Evans up the stairs to her young daughter. Her eldest, Petunia, had moved in with her new husband a month ago. The Smiths, a very nice family that used to live next door, had moved out last summer making the house empty. The house was rather big, and was for sale for an awful amount of money, which is why no one had bought it. That is, until they saw a sold sign go up last week. She hadn't met the family, but she had heard that they had 2 sons about Lily's age. Lily didn't have any friends outside of school. But, that might be because she went to a magic school for witches and wizards called Hogwarts.

"I'm ready!" cried Lily as she descended the stairs in a hurry. She was excited, to say the least, about the new neighbors. So Nora and Lily made their way right next door. Lily reached a hand out and rang the doorbell.

"I'll get it!" replied a manly voice from inside. As the door swung open, man with untidy black hair,a long nose, and amber eyes opened the door. Lily thought that he reminded her of someone, though she couldn't quite place it. Then her mom spoke up.

"Hi! I'm Nora, and this is my daughter Lily. we live right next door in the tan house." she extended her hand, which he took gratefully.

" I'm Henry. My wife and I just moved here with our son and his best friend, although he is like our son too….Anyways, they are both 17 and go to a boarding school so they are only here for the summer." Lily looked at Henry with intent as a loud BANG went off in the house.

"I better, er, go get that" he stuttered as another one went off.

"Do you and your family want to come over for dinner?" Nora asked in a sort of weary yet curious tone. "We could then get to know eachother better."

"Sure! We would be thrilled" he replied. Then Lily and her mum turned away and started walking home.

"Those bangs sure did sound like exploding snap…" lily muttered, more to herself then to anyone else.

"What? Her mum asked, yet again curious.

"oh , nothing, just a wizarding game, I guess I just miss Hogwarts…." And she did. Boy oh boy did she miss her beloved school. She missed seeing her friends and taking classes and exploring the neverending castle. She especially missed her best friend Davie, who was coming to stay with her in a week. Davie was fun, outgoing, talkative, smart, and basically the person everyone would call perfect. Especially the guys. Davie wasn't a slut, though. She, like me, had only had two relationships of any kind with a guy while at Hogwarts. Her current boyfriend, who Davie had gotten together with sometime back in January, was Hogwarts hearthrob Sirius Black. Now, this proposed some… issues to say the least.

You see, the only person who Lily hated more than Sirius Black was his best friend James Potter. They have disliked each other from day one on the Hogwarts express. He was a prat, to say the least. To say the most, however, James Potter was a bullying, arrogant, snotball, hot, player,annoying git. Oh wait, scratch that "hot" part, that wasn't supposed to be in there. Anyways, you can see why she was a little distraught when James Potter and Sirius Black showed up on her doorstep for dinner that evening.
