I would like to say thank you to Just Another Ginge for following and reviewing. Also to pentillium, lilylouise95 and dyrhoej for following. Also to rosecullen09 and daughterofposideon12 for favouriting the story. It really means alot.
"Excuse me are you alright?" the deep voice said again. "Yes, sorry" Lily said pulling her gaze away from his eyes. It was then that she saw his face; he had black messy hair that looked as if it had not been brushed properly for a while. His eyes were hazel and had laughter lines in the corners; his mouth was in a crooked smile which surprised Lily as she thought he'd be angry. "Are you ok?" he repeated. "Yes I'm fine, I'm sorry for bumping into you". Lily made to walk away but he grabbed her arm, "Are you sure? You looked a bit upset" he looked genuinely concerned. "Yes I'm fine really" he did not look convinced. "Alright, I'm James by the way" he smiled one of the most amazing smiles she had ever seen. "Hi James I'm Lily" she said smiling back. Lily started to walk away when she heard James' voice "Hey, would you like to go and have a cup of tea somewhere?" Lily turned around looking both confused and surprised. "Yes alright that would be nice" "Good there's a nice café round the corner" James said.
They walked side by side in silence the whole way. When they reached the café they took one of the seats by the window. "I'll go get the tea" James said, Lily smiled at him. He walked over to the counter and ordered the tea. He could not help but be happy that he had met her that day. It had not been the best day, he had just got home from school and his parents were away with work. They had promised to be there. "Here's your tea love" the lady at the counter said, "Thank you" James said he picked up the tray and carried it over to the table. Lily looked up at him; "Here we are a nice cup of tea" he placed the tray down and took his seat opposite her.
"Thank you" Lily said. She picked up the tea pot and after giving it a quick stir she poured the tea. "So, are you going to tell me what upset you so much?" he asked her. She made to protest but he quickly silenced her by saying "Telling a stranger can help" "Ok" she said taking a deep breath "I just found out my sister is getting married" "Surly that's a good thing" "Yes but you haven't met him, he so dull and boring, I don't understand why she would do this". James looked at her "Maybe she loves him and although you may not understand it she does" Lily looked at him in surprise "That was very wise" "Yes it was rather" they both laughed.
After they had finished their tea they went for a walk in the park "I've just realised I've never seen you round here before" Lily ejaculated suddenly taking them both by surprise. "I'm not from round here, I just needed to go somewhere away from my house" James said not meeting her eye. "Talking to a stranger can help" Lily said paraphrasing James. He looked at her and sat down on the nearest bench. Before he spoke James knew he would have to choose his words carefully, this was because James had a secret that Lily could not know. James was a wizard, it may be hard to believe but that was the truth, he went to a school created to teach wizards and witches magic. "My parents work a lot" he began carefully "so they're not always there, that's why when I was eleven they sent me to boarding school." He paused and took a deep breath "They are not always there when I get home but this year they promised they would be. They weren't, I know it's a silly thing to get upset about but I have not seen them since July last years." He paused again as he was getting a bit emotional, "When I saw their note I knew, left the house and came here. My parents brought me here when I was younger. We had a picnic and it was the last happy, family day out I remember" James concluded. Lily didn't say anything, she just sat there taking it all in. she felt so sorry for James, it must be so hard not to see your parents that much. She looked at him and seeing he was close to tears, took his hand in her own.
They sat like this for a while, in fact they lost track of time as they felt so comfortable sat like that. It was Lily that realised how late it was first as she heard her phone go off in her bag. They were both brought back to earth by the sound of "The Birthday Massacre" song "Goodnight" which she was slightly obsessed with at the minute. Lily instantly started routing through her bag until she found it. She had a missed call from her dad, it was then she saw the time. It was half eight and although it was not late her parents would be worried. "Oh James, I'm sorry I have to go my parents are worried" she said sadly, she had enjoyed her afternoon with him. "Oh that's ok Lily, I understand" he tried to hide his disappointment; Lily looked at him and said "I'm meeting some friends tomorrow at eleven at the south entrance to the park. Do you want to join us?" James smiled and tried to control his excitement "Lily I would love to" Lily smiled back "Ok, it's settled then, I'll see you tomorrow." She got up to walk home but turned back "Do you have a mobile?" James looked at her "Yes I do", although he was a wizard he did have what muggles termed a mobile phone, "Would you like my number?" he asked "Yes please" Lily said "In case you get lost" she added quickly not wanting to sound too eager.
They exchanged numbers and as Lily went to leave James said "Thank you Lily, for helping me today" she looked at him with some confusion "But I didn't do anything" James smiled at the floor "Yes you did, just by being here and letting me talk you helped" she smiled at him "Thank you James, for helping me" Lily stood up to her full height and gave him a kiss on the cheek. With this last gesture she walked away. James stood there for what seemed like an age, just watching were she had been and remembering the feel of her kiss on his cheek. He had never been happier than that moment. He had never believed in love at first sight until now. With this thought he turned and walked in the opposite direction to her to catch the knight bus.
I hoped you liked it, please review it does help. I was thinking that the next chapter I may do Lily and James points of view on their day together but I am not sure whether to put it in two separate chapters please let me know what you think. Thank you again for reading it.
