Soundtrack of My Summer
Chapter Two: Holiday
Disclaimer: Please do (not) pay attention to things in parentheses. (I don't own Harry Potter.) Haha, did y'all get that?
A/N: Well, here is chapter two! I am personally pretty proud; I don't often update in a week! But then, I was sick from school this week, so I had time to write... Anyway, thanks so much to my reviewers! I'll answer individual reviews at the bottom. Also, I bolded French for you in this chapter. I hope you like it!

"Thanks for you for your help with the trunks," Lily said. The boy in the doorway and the two other guys were staying with them had helped to carry the trunks inside. Now they were all sitting at the kitchen table, talking.
"No problem. Well, I just realized I haven't introduced myself to you guys yet. The name is James Potter. These are my two best friends, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin," the messy-haired guy said. He motioned to his friends as he said their names.
"I'm Josette DeGuibe," Josette said, waving at the boys.
"I'm Lily. Lily Evans," Lily said in her perfect English accent. Growing up un England certainly had its advantages.
"Marie Bonmeison," Marie said, smiling at the boys, Sirius in particular.
"So, where are you ladies from?" Remus asked, already pretty sure of the answer. He could tell from Josette and Marie's names that they, at least, were French.
"We are all from France," Josette said, tucking a stray piece of blonde hair behind her left ear.
"Oh, how interesting. Do you go to an English school? Your English is quite good," Sirius said.
"Well, we go to a French school, but we all speak English with each other sometimes if we don't want to be overheard," Lily responded.
"Where are you all from?" Josette asked when Lily had finished.
"Jolly old England," James said with a smile, "Well, now that we are all acquainted, what do you say we go to the beach?"
"Great idea, be down in a sec," Lily said, and the girls walked up stairs, giggling.

"They have got to be the hottest guys in the world," Marie said, searching her suitcase for her bathing suit, "I just wish one of them spoke French. Dates would be so awkward with my English skills being the way they are."
"Oh come on," Lily said, flopping down on the bed. The two girls were in Marie's room, waiting for Josette to finish in the bathroom, "Your English isn't that bad, you're just a little rusty. You speak just fine at school. In two hours, you won't be able to keep your mouth shut, I guarantee it."
"Whatever, but isn't that Sirius guy so hot!?," Marie said.
"I guess so, but I personally couldn't keep my eyes off of James," Lily said, smiling, "Did you see his eyes? He is gorgeous."
"Who are you talking about?" came the voice of Josette. The girls looked up and saw Josette standing in the doorway. She was wearing a brown bikini. It had gold metal rings on the sides of the bottoms, and a ring in the center of the top. It looked really good on her, and made her relatively short legs look longer.
"Oh my God, that is the cutest suit ever!" Lily said, " So, which one of the boys do you like?"
"None of them actually. I mean, yeah, they are hot, but I don't start to like someone just based on looks," Josette replied.
"Okay then. Which one do you think is hottest?" Marie said slyly.
"James," Josette said, blushing.
"Oh, come on! Both of my friends are ga ga over Mr. Bed Head," Marie responded, referring to James's messy hair.
"Oh, be quiet," Lily said, "Well, I'm gonna go change, be out in a sec," she added, walking out with her suit in her hand.
"You know, there is another bathroom down the hall that is open," Josette said, taking Lily's place on the bed, "Go change so we can get to the beach quicker." Marie walked out, and Josette got up and looked in the mirror on the wall. She decided to get clothes to wear over her suit, so she walked across the hall into her room.
When she got there, she put on a plain white tank top, and blue jean shorts. She slipped into her white flip-flops, and headed back toward the door.
When she got to the door, she tripped over something or another. She screamed, but instead of falling, she was caught by someone at the last minute.
"Are you alright?" came the voice of her catcher, She felt herself being brought to her feet, and she saw that Remus was the one who caught her.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Josette said. She was suddenly aware of the fact that Remus was looking at her oddly, and he was still holding her hand, "Well, thanks. Bye," Josette said, taking her hand back from Remus and walking back into Marie's room. Remus stood in the door way and looked at her for a second more, before quickly leaving with a blush on his face.
Lily came in a few moments later, wearing a silver bikini with pink stripes. She had on khaki shorts, and was carrying a pink tank top.
"What did Remus want?" Lily asked, pulling her shirt over her head.
"I fell, and he caught me," Josette said, "It was really odd too. Like once I got my balance back, he was still holding my hand looking at me. It was weird."
"Oh, looks like someone has a crush," Lily said, smirking.
"I do not. I don't like anyone. And besides, James is so much cuter than Remus is anyway," Josette replied matter-of-factly.
"I meant him, but whatever," Lily said simply.
"Ready to hit the beach?" Marie said, walking into the room. She had on a dark blue string bikini. The bottoms were plain in color, and the tops had light blue polka dots. Her suit was exactly the same color of her eyes, and really looked nice. She walked over to her suitcase and put some clothes on over her suit.
"Hell yeah, lets go," Josette said. The three girls walked out of the room, linking arms and giggling. This really was proving to be a great vacation.
XoxoXOxoXOxoXO
When the girls left to get changed, the boys just stayed in the kitchen. They already had their suits on, so they just had to wait until the girls were ready.
"Wow, those girls are really hot," Sirius said, leaning back in the chair he was sitting in, "Which one did you think was prettiest?"
"Lily. Did you see that hair? And those green eyes. What a babe," James said, grinning.
"Same. She was really pretty, but I guess that Marie would be second for me. What about you Moony?" Sirius said. He leaned back further in his chair as Remus answered.
"...What?" Remus asked vaguely. He was staring up the staircase that the girls had just walked up. He turned around suddenly, looking at Sirius, when he heard his name.
"I asked which girl you liked," Sirius said, leaning back further in his chair and putting his feet on the table.
"Definitely Josette. She was so pretty. And she just seemed so nice. And that French accent was so sexy," Remus said, smiling vaguely.
"Earth to Remus... you there buddy?" James said, waving his hand in front of Remus's face. Suddenly there was a crash, and Sirius found himself on the ground. He had leaned back to far in his chair, and had fallen over.
"Good job Padfoot," Remus said. He had been brought back to reality by the crash.
"Yeah, yeah," Sirius said, getting up and setting the chair right.
"Well, I'm going to go upstairs for a minute. I need to go put my wand away, so the girls don't see it and wonder. Do you want me to take yours?" Remus said, getting up from the table. He held out his hand for his friends' wands. He put them in his pocket and walked up the stairs. He walked down the hall, and turned into the third room on the right. He put the wands on his dresser when he got there.
He walked back down the hallway, but right before he got to the stairs he heard a scream from behind him. He turned around to see Josette, just a few feet away, falling. He quickly caught her just before she hit the ground.
He looked down at her back (he was holding her upside down due to the way she had fallen), and his heart began to pound in his chest.
"Are you okay?" Remus asked. His voice shook slightly, and mentally scolded himself for it. He helped her regain her balance, but even after she was on her feet again, he unconsciously kept hold of her hand.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Josette said. Remus looked into her chocolate orbs, his heart still doing the conga in his chest, "Well, thanks again. Bye." she walked back into Marie's room, and only when she pulled her hand away did Remus realize he had still been holding it. He blushed, as he realized that he had been holding her hand, and he turned and walked back into the kitchen.
"Oh my God, she probably thinks I am a stalker now," Remus moaned, sitting down in a chair.
"What are you talking about?" James asked, looking over at Remus.
"After I put our wands in my room, I saw Josette falling, so I rushed over to catch her, and, I dunno, I guess I was staring at her a little and... ugh. I am such an idiot," Remus said in frustration.
"Come on mate, it can't be that bad," Sirius said, leaning back in his chair slightly. However, he thought better of it this time, and let the chair legs fall down with a thud, "She probably looked into your eyes and was overcome by emotion at being held by such a good looking guy, and that was shy she hurried away or whatever."
"Yeah-" James started to say, but was cut off by the girls coming down the stairs, bathing suits on and towels in hand.
"Let's go," Marie said, walking forward. The six of them headed out the back door, Remus carefully avoiding Josette's eyes.
XOxoXOxoXOxoXO
"Score!" Marie screamed, spiking the volleyball over the net. Lily had been right, Marie was now speaking English like a pro, only forgetting a word occasionally. They were all playing beach volleyball, and the girls were winning 15-3.
"How does it feel being beaten by a bunch of girls?" Josette said, sending the boys a dazzling smile.
"No comment," James said, getting ready to serve the ball once more. The ball was sent flying over the net, right at Lily's face. Lily, who wasn't really paying attention, got hit right in the face.
She fell back, and her nose began to bleed. Everyone ran toward her. James felt horrible about what he had done, especially since he liked Lily.
Shit, where is my wand?! James thought, searching his pockets, Oh yeah I left it inside. Plus I wouldn't have been able to use is anyway, Lily being a muggle and all.
"I am so sorry Lily," James said, kneeling at her side, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I think so. Is my nose bleeding?" Lily said, feeling her nose. It was, in fact, flowing blood all over her silver bathing suit.
"Here, I'll take Lily inside and see if I can do anything about her nose," Josette said, helping Lily to her feet. The two walked inside, leaving Marie and the boys on the beach.
"Come on. Once we get inside, I can actually use some magic to help you," Josette said. The girls walked inside, and Josette went upstairs to get her wand.
Lily waited, thinking about what had just happened. Even though her nose now hurt like hell, she almost was glad that had happened. As strange as it may seem, she was glad that she had held James's attention just then.
