I ran inside and upstairs to my room. It was a large circular room with pink and blue walls with a large circle bed and a vanity and a dresser and closet. I smiled at the two large double French doors and a white door on the other side. I went through the white door to find my own bathroom. It had blue walls and a step in shower with a jet tub on the other side with a large mirror and sitting window area. I fell in love.

I ran out the door and through the double French doors and onto a balcony that showed backyard and you could see the pool we had and the white fence. I saw the wood area behind the house and I could see the neighbor's back yard and there were 4 boys hanging by the pool in swimming trunks. I smiled and went back into my room and unpacked posters and clothes and things. When I was done I went downstairs to check out the rest of the house. The house was huge and gorgeous. I went outside to find my mom talking to the neighbor. I assumed it was the friend she had mentioned on the plane.

I went over to her and she smiled at me. She then looked at me and introduced me, "Jenna this is one of my daughters Lily. Lily this is my best friend Jenna Potter. Her son is the one I told you about."

Jenna turned to me and smiled saying, "Pleased to meet you Lily. James and his friends are in the back by the pool if you would like to go out back."

"Please to meet you too. And I would like that very much how do you get through the house or does your fence have a door?" I asked her. I really didn't care to meet James and his friends but I had promised my mom.

Jenna smiled and said, "Cherry will take you. Cherry!" When Jenna yelled Cherry a house elf appeared and bowed low saying, "What can I do for you Mistress Jenna?"

"Cherry will you please take Lily out back to James and the boys? Don't leave until she is comfortable and if she wants lead her back to her house." Jenna told the house elf. Cherry smiled and nodded quickly. She then turned to beckon me toward the house. I smiled at my mom and followed Cherry through the house and to the back door.

When we got to the backyard I turned to Cherry and said, "You can go. I will be fine."

"You sure, Cherry can stay?" Cherry asked.

"I am sure. Go on." I told her and she nodded leaving me alone. I looked over toward the pool the boys hadn't even noticed me. I took off my boots and socks then walked forward. The grass felt cool on my feet. I smiled and walked over to them. When I got close the short stubby one with blonde hair turned to the tall one with sandy blonde hair and said, "Moony, you know her?"

The one called Moony looked in my direction and said, "No Wormtail. What about you Padfoot?"

The tall boy with long black hair that fell in his eyes looked up to me and smiled a charming smile. Then he said, "No, but I want to. Prongs she your girl?"

Then the last of the four boys looked up he had black hair that stood up on all edge and he had hazel eyes with golden specks. I smiled at him and he smiled and said, "No, but I have a feeling she is the girl my mom keeps talking about. What's her name? It's a flower."

I giggled and said, "Lily?" He looked up and said, "Yea that's it. Say are you her?"

"Ya, I am. My name is Lily Evans. Our moms were best friends and I live next door. My mom said that we probably have a lot in common and she wanted me to meet you. Apparently your mom had the same idea because I barely got out two words before she like pretty much sent me out here with Cherry."

The one named Padfoot laughed and said, "Well that's Jenna for ya. Hey why don't you join us?"

I shrugged and sat down on the edge letting my feet fall in the water. Padfoot smiled at me and said, "Let me introduce you to the gang. Prongs is James Potter. I am Sirius Black or Padfoot. Moony is Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew is Wormtail." He said as he pointed each of them out. As he pointed to them they waved or said hey. I waved back and smiled.

I could already tell Sirius was the player and the charmer of the group. Well he didn't know my background. And Peter was the oddball out. The other two I really didn't know. I decided to tell Sirius flat out when he tried to put his arm around me. I looked at him and said, "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but one I barely know you and two I really don't go for guys."

"You're gay?" Sirius asked with a look that said 'for real?'

"No I am not gay. I just don't really go on dates or anything. Sorry Sirius." I told him.

He looked at me and Remus started to laugh as did James. I looked at them in a questionably way. And James explained by saying, "We aren't laughing at you but Sirius. He can usually get anyone he wants and you told him no, so it is really funny."

I looked at Sirius and he had looked away. I didn't want to hurt him so I looked at him and said, "It really isn't you. I just don't really date. I really am sorry and if I change my mind you will be the first to know. Kay." Sirius looked at me and stood up jumping into the pool

Sirius then smiled at her and said, "It is cool Lily. Now come on and don't worry about it. Let's play chicken." James and Remus smiled and jumped in the pool and said, "Lily want to play."

I shook my head and said, "I can't I don't have a swimsuit."

"No problem, here." James said grabbing his black t-shirt, and throwing over toward to me. I smiled at him and said, "Thanks James." I pulled of my button up shirt pulling off my jeans and then pulling on James's shirt and, then, jumped in the pool. Peter stood in the pool water and said, "I will watch and tell you who wins. So teams?"

James, Sirius, and Remus did rock paper scissors. James won and said, "Lily you can be on my team. Do you want to go against Sirius or Remus?"

I looked at them both and said, "Sirius." James looked at me and said, "Wow."

"What?" I asked.

"No one has gone against Sirius willingly for like ever." James explained. James got down under the water and raised me up. I gasped as it surprised me. And James laughed. I playfully glared at him and Remus raised up Sirius on his shoulders.

Peter rose up his hands and yelled, "GO!"

Sirius and I started battling it out while James and Remus battling it as well. Finally I gave Sirius one last push and he overbalanced and tumbled into the water. James and I laughed as Sirius came up and cursed. Just then we heard a yell of, "Sirius Black watch your mouth!"

We turned around and my mom smiled at me I pulled myself up out of the water and went over to her. She smiled at me and said, "I'm glad to see you and James getting along. Petunia is out at the mall around town. She is meeting up with some old friends from when she was like 2. Jenna invited us for a barbecue, what do you think?"

"Uh…sure…I guess." I told her as I shrugged. I really don't care. James and I probably won't be close friends. But I would be cordial with him because of our moms.

My mom smiled. (Is it just me or does she do that a lot). I smiled back and Jenna said, "Great. Lily why don't you head over to your house and grab some dry clothes and maybe an actual swimsuit."

"Alright, be right back mom." I told her. James and the boys all jumped up and said quickly, "We will go with her. If that's alright, Jenna." Sirius asked. Jenna nodded and we walked out the gate and toward my house.

When we got there we heard a loud crack and our house elf appeared. I smiled at her and said, "Tibby can you go to the kitchen and get me my medication and some water please and bring it up to my room." Tibby nodded and popped out.

The boys were looking at me funny and I didn't want to tell them. So I just shrugged and walked to the wide winding staircase. When we got up to my room I went in and the boys gasped as they saw all the Quidditch posters and band posters on my walls.

I looked at them and rolled my eyes. I went over to my dresser and pulled out my short shorts and white t-shirt with my hot pink bikini. The bikini had on baby blue stripes. I went into the bathroom and changed quickly. I threw the clothes in the hamper not including James's t-shirt. I pulled on the shorts and t-shirt over the bikini and grabbed the t-shirt before grabbing a pool towel and walking out.

The boys were standing there looking at my posters and looking throughout my CDs. I smiled at them and said, "Want me to bring some for music?"

James looked up at me and said, "Would you?"

"Sure." I told him and then looked at them and said, "Pick some out. Some are muggle some are magic." They nodded and I grabbed my wand and placed it in my wand holster on my wrist. Then I went over to the boys and asked, "Got'em?"

James turned around and each boy had an arm load of CDs. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a bag. We loaded the bag. We were about to leave when Tibby popped in with a glass of water and my pills. I swallowed down the pills and a potion. Again the boys looked at me funny and I knew they wanted an explanation.

I sighed and said, "Look, I was born with this effect thing it is really none of your business and I forgot to take my medication this morning. Just drop it and don't tell anyone. My mom, sister, and I deal."

They nodded and Sirius said, "We can help you if you need anything, alright? Just let us know." I nodded and muttered a quick thanks. Then we walked back over to the Potter's house.

When we got there I saw my mom and Jenna had taken care of everything and the food was cooking. When Jenna spotted me she smiled. (What is with the smiling?) I then yelled over to my mom, "Hey mom, I took care of my medication. Hey can you make a magic CD player? The boys found my collection and we brought some."

"Sure honey." My mom yelled back then she waved her wand and there was a huge system that would radiate all over the yard but you couldn't hear it outside the boundaries of the house. I smiled and grabbed my favorite CD they had brought and put in the player.

The boys had never heard of it, but Lily was jumping around when the rock music started; and the song Bye Bye Beautiful by Nightwish started to play. The boys seemed to like the music because they quickly learnt the lyrics and was singing the guy part. (Not well but singing all the same.)

We were hanging out by the pool when Peter's mom showed up and said, "I'm sorry Peter honey but you need to come home. Your father left. For good this time."

Jenna and my mom immediately ran over to Mrs. Pettigrew and told her, "If you need anything, Amy please don't hesitate to ask. We know what you are going through." Jenna told her. Amy nodded and Peter and her left.
