Lily Evans and James Potter
"Ouch, what was that for?" As a book went flying at James
"Your mind was wondering again James now can we please get back to the pressing matter of quidditch" Demanded Sirius
"Humm well I'm pretty sure England wont be winning the world cup any time soon so we probably be better off supporting Ireland but I don't think they will get through either"
"Yeah my favourite is on the French," grinned Sirius
Sirius was munching his way through a huge breakfast at the Potter house when James parents joined them. James parents worked for the ministry of magic in the auror office fighting against the dark forces in the world, which at times worried James because of the dangers involved especially as news reached his ears of killings by some crazy squad called death eaters. Apparently the minister say it will pass like other organisations but James parents think differently along with Albus Dumbledore the head master at the school the school he attends, Hogwarts.
James and Pad foot (Sirius) are well happy because they are going skiing. Their Mum and dad (Mr and Mrs Potter) thought it might be nice as they haven't been for a while and it gives James and Sirius some thing to do rather than annoying them. Sirius and James were well known for causing a little mayhem.
" I haven't heard you speak much about lily Evans this summer" said James mum
A blush crept across James face. And Sirius roared with laughter wiping a tear away
"He got turned down ever time he ask her," 'not in a million years Potter' Sirius said imitating Lily's voice
"Never mind James plenty more fish in the sea" his mother smiled at him whilst buttering some toast thinking the poor girl must be really annoyed at James persistent attempts.
"Maybe you should back off dear give the girls some space" James mum encouraged
This is the problem James loves Lily Evans and she hates him. Sine fourth year he has been asking her out but all she says is no. Apparently James is big headed, has a huge ego and is immature. James thought to him self may be every one is right I have the wrong approach for getting Lily I mean I spent my first three years pulling pranks on her and hexing her, I don't think I have ever had one conversation with her that doesn't end in her shouting at me I just don't know when to stop, it's like my head stops thinking and I just go way over the top.
"Lily dear we have been thinking" said Mrs Evans. "Me and your father would love to become more involved in the wizarding world so we thought we would take the family on a vacation to a wizarding spot."
"Really" lily sat up as a huge grin spread across her face then suddenly sulked "but wont petunia be really upset she thinks I'm a freak as it is."
"Well we thought it might be good for her so she know what its really like."
Lily summer had not been great so far she missed her friends from Hogwarts so much. She loved her parents but Petunia had a knack of making Lily feel unwelcome in her own home to Petunia Lily was the freak of the family and the less said about Lily the better. Lily's wizarding friends had been writing to her telling her all about the different adventures they were getting up to and Lily was jealous. Her Katie was in Egypt going round all the wizarding tombs with all the crazy curses that they had put on the tomb to stop them being robbed so they could go inter the after world with their riches. Lily sighed looking at the note and thought she should defiantly encourage her parent or she would be stuck here moping all summer.
"Mum I think your idea is great, I was wondering though if there was somewhere in particular you wanted to go?"
Her mum looked up. "I'm glad you asked lily but we have already booked we went to diagon ally whilst you were at school to get you a birthday present when the holiday offer caught our eye."
Lily laughed, "So we were going any way?"
"Well yes me and you father haven't been skiing in a while and you don't often see skiing in summer"
Lily was about to tell her parent that the sky resort probably had snow all year round but decided against and asked if Petunia had said yes to going
"Well yes she is coming she does have much choice really" her mum giggled
Click as the door closed and Mr Evans strolled in to the house
"You look happy Lily has your mum told you about our surprise?"
"Yes dad" she smiled as she saw the mischievous little twinkle in his emerald eyes.
"Yes Petunia as well" he laughed
"Well we will have to get packing the knight bus is picking us up later as the travel people thought it would be easer for us to get there"
"Where is there exactly?"
"Humm not sure some where on the border of France and Italy its called the lodge"
Lily skipped off to pack some stuff up whilst her father climbed the ladder into the loft to get out all of the skiing gear they had collected over the years.
