A.N. This chapter's been done for a week, so sorry for not posting it sooner. I know, I know, I still haven't updated my Gilmore Girls stories, but I'm not quite sure I like the chapters as they are right now, so just wait it out. One reviewer pointed out to me that Petunia isn't very mean in this fic, but, this is my version, my fanfiction, doesn't that mean that it's my creation? Now, ON TO CHAPTER TWO!!!!

Chapter 2

"Lily! Time to get up dear!" Michelle Evans woke her daughter.

Groaning, Lily lifted herself out of her bed, and into her closet.

"What to wear, what to wear," she pondered out loud.

"Clothes would be a good start," Petunia said dryly from the doorway.

"Right…" Lily answered; not wanting to start a fight with her sister, before pulling out an emerald green and white striped alter top and black board shorts.

"I saw the new neighbors out their front yard; I'm going for a walk with Mum and we're going to introduce ourselves, do you want to come?" Petunia continued as if Lily hadn't said anything.

"No thanks," Lily declined politely, eager to have the house to herself.

"Fine with me," Petunia replied before turning on her heel and slamming the door on her way out.

Lily sighed, thinking about how here relationship with her sister had changed since she was a little girl. Almost instantly though, she perked up at the thought of summer, and changed into her outfit of the day.

"I love it here!" Claire Potter exclaimed to her son and his best friend while walking around the front yard.

"It is nice," Sirius agreed in mid-yawn.

"Yea…nice," James added absentmindedly.

"Hullo!" a new female voice sounded. "We're your new neighbors. I'm Michelle and this is one of my daughter's, Petunia." The lady introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you; this is my son James and his friend Sirius. I'm Claire Potter," Mrs. Potter replied carefully, a bit unsure of how to react to the muggle.

James watched the other woman, looking at her deep red hair.

"I have another daughter too, but she's still in bed," Michelle Evan's continued, smiling warmly.

"These two would be too if I had let them," Claire commented, joining Mrs. Evan's laughter.

The two women soon started talking, leaving James and Sirius with Petunia.

"So where did you move from?" Petunia asked, eager to find out whatever she could.

"Er, from a ton just north of London," James answered cautiously, as not to reveal himself as a wizard to a muggle.

Conversation soon tapered off, leaving three teenagers standing around awkwardly.

"Mum, isn't it time to leave for your hair appointment?" Petunia reminded her mother ten minutes later.

"Oh yes, I better be going, but how about you and your family (and Sirius of course) come to dinner at my house, we can meet the rest of each other's families," Mrs. Evans suggested.

"It sounds lovely, what time should we come over?" Mrs. Potter agreed.

"Be at the house on the right at seven tonight, we'll see you then!" Michelle said before darting off to her appointment.

By the time seven o'clock rolled around, Michelle had cooked (roasted lamb, mashed potatoes, pumpkin, and peas), cleaned, and warned Lily to dress nicely and be on her best behaviour.

"So tell me about the family again Tuney," Lily requested.

Her sister sighed, seemingly annoyed, but answered anyway.

"There are two boys; I think the woman said they were seventeen. Um…both looked muscular and had dark, longish hair. One had glasses. The boy without the glasses was only a friend of the family."

"What about the woman?" Lily asked, for she still hadn't heard much about her.

"About Mum's age, maybe a bit older."

"What time did Mum say they'd be here?"

"Seven."

"Shit, I've gotta change Petunia!" Lily said before running upstairs to change. Yanking her wardrobe door open, Lily saw the perfect outfit; a green hourglass dress. The green was the perfect shade, and brought out her eyes.

As quickly as she could, Lily changed into the dress and dashed to the bathroom to fix her mascara, which was the only make up she ever wore.

Just as Lily finished fixing her appearance, the doorbell rang, and once again, Petunia ran to get it.

"Hello, it's nice to see you again."

"Thank you, it was good of you and your parents to invite all of us over for dinner," Mr. Potter replied. "I don't believe that I've introduced myself, I'm Daniel Potter."

"It's a pleasure, I'm Petunia Evans."

As soon as the word 'Evans' came out James and Sirius looked at each other, wondering if there was any relation…How had they missed this earlier?

"Petunia, your father and I are busy with dinner; please lead our guests into the living room. Oh, and please call your sister for us," Mrs. Evans instructed.

James could now feel his heart tighten and release because of excitement and adrenaline; he really wanted it to be Lily.

Petunia quickly lead her guests into a large living room, which was decorated with paintings, not of people but of the each. Leaving momentarily to get her sister, she told her guests to make themselves at home, and that her parents would be out as soon as they finished dinner.

The lounge (living) room was just beside the stairway, so the Potters, and Sirius, could hear Petunia talking to her sister.

"…it's time to come down now! Stop writing to lover boy—" Petunia was cut off.

"He's not lover boy! He's just a friend from school!"

For the second time that nice, James and Sirius looked at each other this time thinking, 'Hang on, that voice seems very familiar.'

"Whatever, just come down now," Petunia commanded, spinning on her hell and walking away, the mystery girl quickly following.

"Sorry about that, my husband, Jack, and I needed to put the finishing touches on everything," Michelle said, walking into the room just as Petunia did.

Studying Mr. Evans, James noticed something; his eyes. They were bright green, just like Lily's.

"Hullo, I'm—" Lily started as she walked into the living room. She stopped short when she saw James and Sirius.

"Lily?"

"J-James? Sirius?

They all asked at the same time, the rest of the families looking particularly confused.

"What are you guys doing here?" she asked, running up to hug each of them, but lingering a bit longer on James.

"We moved next door," James answered, happy at his luck of moving next to the Lily Evans, girl of his dreams.

It was Mr. Evans who decided to get answers, and cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Does one of you want to explain how you know each other?"

"Well you see sir," Sirius began. "We go to school together."

"You mean, you're all—all magic?" Petunia gasped, clearly disgusted.

"Yes, we moved here to improve what we know about non-magical people," Mrs. Potter answered.

"I'm so glad!" Lily exclaimed, still excited that her crush now lived next door.

"And here I was thinking it would be a dull summer," Sirius commented quietly.

James could only nod in agreement.
