Chapter 2
James' POV
"It's a date! Date! Date!" Sirius was yelling through the house as he was waiting for me to get ready, "I totally just got you a date with the girl of your dreams! Your owe me huge!"
"I owe you huge?" I laughed.
"Oh ya, just wait until today is over, you will be begging to help me because you had such a great time!" Sirius jumped on my bed, "And I, being the kind and generous soul that I am, will allow you to return the favor."
"Er... Pads, that really made no sense what so ever." I continued to get dressed.
"Sure it did!" Sirius said, "and-"
"And no, I will not want to serve you when this is over." I said, rolling my eye's. "Chances are that Lily doesn't even know I'm going to be there, or even you for that matter, and when she finds out, or sees me, she will be very angry." I could just see it playing out in my head.
"Hey Lils!" I would say.
"Potter?" She would scream, "What is this, why didn't you tell me he was going to be here?"
"I was going to," Madi would say, "But I knew you wouldn't come."
"Yes, very true, and now I'll leave." She would say.
"So much for your idea of a date." I would mutter at Sirius.
"Hey, it was worth a shot!" Would be his only defense.
"Prongsy, my boy! Anyone home in there?" Sirius was waving his hands in front of my face.
I whacked his hand, "This is a bad idea." Different scenarios were running through my head, every one of them with a bad outcome.
"Oh, come off it!" Sirius started pushing me out of my room and towards the kitchen. "It'll be great! She probably came to her senses during the summer, while she had to stand being away from you, and wants to see you every second of the day!"
"Right, and then we'll go apparate onto the sun and eat cupcakes. Pads, this is not going to turn out well, and if she never talks to me again, your going to be the one serving me."
"Do you have cupcakes?" Sirius asked, suddenly curious.
"Padfoot!" I looked at the clock, fifteen minutes until we had to be there. "No, we do not have cupcakes, and we have to get going! Even with the floo powder, it will still take us more than ten minutes to get there!" I dragged him from my cupboard over by the fireplace.
"Diagon Alley!" I shouted into the green fire.
The world spun and I almost got sick before I closed my eyes and waited for the end of the ride. I finally stopped spinning and stepped out of the fire place, brushing ash off my cloths. I waited there until Sirius appeared in the same fireplace, and we set off together towards Gringotts.
Sirius rambled and talked the entire way, while I was walking silently next to him, wondering what I would say to Lily. Sirius and Lily's friend, Madi, are next door neighbors and had planned this just so I could have a new chance with Lily, now that I was 'mature' I might have a chance with her, so says Madi.
Butterflies swarmed in my stomach more like angry hornets than the fluttering insects they were named after. Stupid things I could say ran through my head, and I knew, vaguely, what her reaction would be to everyone of the things I could say, and non of them were things I wanted to hear from her to me.
Quicker than I would have liked, we were already there and not far behind us were the girls. I saw Lily, talking to Madi, maybe she hadn't noticed that I was there yet. I thought that until those beautiful green eyes met mine, "I'm toast," I muttered.
"Hey, that wasn't a glare!" Sirius defended. "Just an unpleasant look," He finished as she glared at him.
"Hey Madi!" Sirius ran up to her and pulled her aside. Lily shrugged and continued to walk toward me with her Lizzy and Mary.
Lily's hips swayed ever so slightly when she walked, her red hair framed her face with it's soft curls, and faint light from the sun, behind the clouds, reflected on her red curls, shined in the most beautiful way. Her plain cloths were just so Lily, no other way to describe it, and she looked even more beautiful in her baggy sweat shirt and loose jean shorts than any other girl could.
My mind froze and I felt my body start to talk, but I managed to control my mind enough to hold back and only say, "Hey."
Lily looked at me skeptically, "Hey," she replied. "How's your summer been?"
This was the first civilized conversation we have had since ever, hopefully I wouldn't spoil it.
"It's been fine, Sirius has been staying at my house since he doesn't want to live at his house with his family, ya know, so it's been interesting." I babbled, totally and completely babbled. I was so boggled, she looked so beautiful.
"Ya, he lived at home, only for a few days before he went to your house, believe me, I could hear Grimmauld Place voices yelling and it wasn't happy. He spent a lot of time at my place, trying to escape his family. Finally he said he couldn't take it anymore and went to live at your house." Madi said completely casual as she walked up, Sirius himself trailing closely behind her.
"You guys are talking about me?" Sirius exclaimed, "I feel honored." He bowed.
"Ya Sirius, we were talking about how you ruined James' summer." Lily said.
"Oh, right, ruined his summer!" Sirius said sarcastically, "Making him get out and have fun. Oh it's just been terrible hasn't it Prongsy!"
"I see how it's been crazy." Lily said, then laughed and my knees buckled. I laughed with her, trying to keep my head straight.
"Ya, I know right, you should have seen him a few weeks ago after he kept me up all night with Firewhiskey and Butterbeer. He was riled the next day." I laughed, relaxing, maybe I did owe Sirius.
"And you weren't?" Sirius punched me in the arm.
"Hey!" I exclaimed, preparing to defend myself, but I realized anything I said would just make it worse, because Sirius remembered that day a lot better than I did, "I never said I wasn't."
"Because you were." Sirius laughed, and so did everyone else, including Lily, who seemed to sparkle, I laughed at my own self for being so hopelessly in love.
I know James' little (I don't know what to call it) imagination thingy was really weird, but his brain was off in lala land, that's why it was totally uncharacteristic! Thanks for reading and please please please REVIEW!
