1.1 Chapter 2: New Neighbors
The rest of the school year just rolled on like that. Lily and James continue bickering, McGonagall getting frustrated because of them, Dumbledore watching their fights in amusement, Jasmine and Sirius teasing them, Remus believing James has some sort of feelings towards Lily, Snape continues to flirt shyly with Lily, and Peter just eating more and more food every day.
In the end of the year, Lily and James had gotten the most O.W.L.S in their year, closely followed by Remus, a ravenclaw, and SIRIUS? Jasmine was also in the top 10.
In a compartment in the Hogwarts express, 4 boys were planning their summer.
"I'm going to France in somewhere around Mid-Summer…" Sirius explained. "Gonna hook up wit sum fine lookin' Mademoiselles…" Sirius grinned. "Oh, Aries is going to start next year, hopefully…"
Aries Black was Sirius's little brother. He's quite like Sirius in many ways.
"No…" James groaned. "Your brother's gonna make my life a living hell!"
"Your life? What about mine??? I was happy enough to not deal with him for 5 years, now I have to see him everyday!" Sirius said, groaning also.
"So what are your plans Prongs?" Remus asked, brushing off lint from his robe.
"My mom said we're moving from the old house, to one of my grandfather's. He's got tons, man. Anyway, This house is suppose to be really nice or something. But there's a lot of muggles in the neighborhood…I guess after settling down we might travel to Italy or something, I mean I heard dad talking about that last year."
James explained.
"Right…we'll visit your new house this summer prongsy m'lad" Sirius said.
"Just don't wreck the house like last year okay?" James said, sighing.
"MOM! DAD!" Lily cried as she hugged her parents. "Where's Tunia?" lily asked.
"In the car…" her mom, Rose Evans replied. Lily began telling them about her school year, minus things about James Potter.
James scanned the station and found his parents. Sirius, remus and peter had already met up with theirs. He ran to them and they greeted him warmly. "Hello James, " His mother, Vivian Potter said. They went back to their new home by floo.
"James, I think you will like the new house. The neighbors are just wonderful, too bad most of them are muggles. Why, the Malfoys and Averys were just getting on our nerves again. But the Figgs and Fletchers live around the corner too. Oh, you will have to meet our neighbor who lives across the street. They are absolutely wonderful! They said they have a daughter about your age, who was in boarding school. They have another daughter that seems to be a few years older than you, she goes to a college in the country. Anyway, They will be having a barbeque party or some muggle party like that tonight- we must come…" Vivian's voice kept on chattering.
James was walking around his new room. He liked it, it was big and his parents decorated it just as he wanted. Posters of his favorite quidditch teams were pasted onto the walls, he had a big comfy bed and his own bathroom. He had a desk, and several muggle appliances such as a telephone, a TV, and a stereo. It was a good thing he had taken muggle studies these past 3 years.
He also liked the new house very much. It was very big, a bit too big since it was only the 3 of them (not including a few house-elves) they had a large back yard that had many trees to cover it up. James's father, William Potter said that the backyard is actually a hidden quidditch pitch.
James was rather curious about the neighbor's daughter. Well, he would be meeting her soon, since his mother has already started to scream at him to get ready.
Lily walked into her room. It was clean and tidy, all toned in green. She loved her room very much, and was happy that her parents didn't change it one bit. She remembered her mother saying that they had a new neighbor and tonight the Evans will be holding a barbeque party and she could met the neighbor's son, who had been in boarding school all year. "Hm, maybe he's cute…" Lily thought.
Lily was getting ready for that night. She had helped her mother around the house, and ignored Petunia completely. She was in her room, deciding what to wear. That day was quite hot, and Lily decided to wear a simple white t- shirt (she found that the shirt was rather tight, but she didn't care) a blue denim skirt and white sandals.
She was helping herself for a cup of soda when someone tapped her shoulder.
"Bella!" Lily screamed. Arabella Figg laughed and said "Hi. Did you know I was coming? Mundungus is here too…" Arabella and Mundungus were in the same year as Lily, But Bella was in Ravenclaw and Mundungus in Hufflepuff. They had been neighbors since Lily's third year. "Oh lily, about the new neighbor I bet your mom has told you about, It's…" Arabella began.
"Lily! Come here and meet the Potters!" Lily's mother's voice rang.
"THE POTTERS?" Lily asked in bewilderment, and ran off to her mom.
James was inside the nice house of the neighbor his parents has been talking about. It was a little smaller than his own house, but had a lot of odd instruments that James could only call Muggle Technology, James was following his parents out to the huge backyard, there were dozens of candles floating in a medium sized swimming pool, many outdoor chairs and tables, a barbeque set, and tables filled with other food and refreshments. He spotted Mundungus Fletcher talking to his parents, and Arabella Figg talking to a very pretty girl with red hair. He thought the girl looked rather familiar, and hoped that she was the girl his parents were talking about.
"Ah, Rose! Where is Jeffrey?" Vivian asked to a middle-aged woman with reddish blonde hair. The woman smiled and said "Hello Vivian, William, Jeffrey is right over there talking to Anastacia…oh, is this your son?" the woman named Rose asked, smiling warmly at James. James instantly put on his charming smile, the one he used on adults and teachers. "I'm James Potter, nice to meet you, Mrs, … Mrs. …?"
"Mrs. Rose Evans, but you can call me Rose."
James stared as Mrs. Evans, no, Rose, turned and called out to the pretty girl that was talking with Arabella. "Lily! Come here and meet the Potters!"
Lily EVANS? The Lily Evans he had annoyed all year long ever since first year? As his neighbor? OH NO!
Lily sighed and stood next to her mother. "Lily, this is The Potters."
"Hello Mr. Potter, Mrs. Potter, nice to meet you…" She said, giving her best charming smile that she mastered ever since she was 9 years old. "Please, call me Vivian…and call Mr. Potter Charles…oh Lily, this is our son, James."
Lily turned to James, gave him a quick glare, and said in a sickeningly sweet voice "James! Welcome to the neighborhood. I didn't expect you to be my new neighbor!"
"Ah, so I believe you two already know each other?" Vivian asked.
"Yes Mother. I know her from school…" James said, quickly narrowing his eyes at Lily before grinning at his parents.
"Well then, why don't you two run off and talk?" Charles suggested, pushing James aside. Rose did the same and pushed Lily.
Lily sighed heavily. "Why, of all people, do YOU have to be my new neighbor, Potter?"
She said, smoothening her skirt and folding her arms after they were sure their parents were out of earshot.
"Well, its not my fault my grandfather owns the house across from yours."
Lily sighed again. "Look, I'm not happy. Knowing my parents, they will be planning outings with your family." Lily shuddered. "I probably have to spend the whole summer with you!!"
James looked at the girl in front of him. She looked very casual, yet very pretty that night. He couldn't help smiling at the fact they might spend the whole summer together.
"I wouldn't mind that…" James said, grinning widely.
"Well, I do mind! God, you are so annoying!" The two continued their usual bickering.
Arabella, who was talking to Mundungus at that time, looked over at the two and chuckled. "They're at it again."
"Yeah. Damn, too bad there's no McGonagall here to save our ears…" Mundungus replied, sipping his soda.
"Why do they have to fight all the time? It gets old…" Bella wondered out loud.
"I have a feeling James likes her. He always starts it, he's always getting her annoyed on purpose. And you know how high tempered Lily is." Mundungus said grinning.
"You've got to be kidding me. He likes her? No way! I thought he hated her!"
"C'mon, look at them. Look at James's face."
Arabella looked closely at them. Lily was angry; her red face was almost as red as her hair. But James, on the other hand, looked calm, and was grinning between comebacks.
"Maybe you're right…" Arabella said, walking over to them.
James with his arms folded, was grinning at Lily. He couldn't believe that he never notice how cute she looked when she was mad. "Potter! Stop looking at me like that! Do you want to get your ass kicked?" Lily snapped. James grinned broader.
"Why if it isn't our favorite couple…" Mundungus chipped in.
"Mun! PLEASE!" Lily said, rolling her eyes. "She grabbed Bella's arm and said "Come to my room…c'mon!"
Bella nodded but was pulled by Lily. Mundungus shrugged and followed them. James, still grinning, followed also.
Lily walked into her room, sighing loudly. Arabella sat on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. Lily was muttering stuff like "what an immature git" and "arrogant bloke" while pacing around the room. The door opened and in came Mundungus and James.
"Potter! Who let you come in my room?" Lily snapped. "Myself," James replied, scanning around the room. Mundungus grinned at Lily and asked "So Lily, how many O.W.L.S did you get?"
"11 out of 12" Lily replied shortly, quickly stuffing a book that looked like a diary into her drawer. "Oh Mun, please sit down. Potter, don't move."
"I got 11 outta 12 too" James said, sitting next to Mundungus anyway.
"I remember Potter. God, it's a pity we cant use magic now. DAMN!"
Lily said. Just then an owl flew in.
"Oh Lil, you got an owl. Who is it from? Whoever it is, that person must of missed you so much to send an owl now." Arabella said, gazing at the dark brown owl.
Lily snorted and untied the letter from the owl's feet. "Thanks, I will reply to the person with my owl…" She told the owl. The owl hooted, and flew away.
Dear Lily,
Hi, how is did your first day go? Well, I'm sorry if I wrote too soon. I was a little bored. Do you have any plans this summer? I will meet relatives around next week until Mid-Summer. I'm free after that though.
Well, if you need anything you can owl me- I'll be glad to reply back.
"Who is it from Lily?" Mundungus asked. Lily looked at the bottom of the parchment and stared. 'From Severus S.' was written.
"Well?" Arabella asked. Lily made a face. "It's uh…"
James got up and snatched the letter from her hand.
Lily looked angry again. "POTTTERRRRRRRR!"
"Its from Snape! HAHA! I guess Jasmine wasn't lying." James said, cracking up.
"What's with Snape?" Mundungus asked.
"He likes Lily doesn't he?" Arabella said, making a face.
Lily was sighing exasperatingly and gave up. Everyone is not gonna let her forget about this.
James was nodding, reading the letter again.
"Potter, you just HAVE to ruin my life, don't you?" Lily exclaimed.
"Yes Ma'am. That's my duty in life. It's fun having your life ruined, isn't it?"
"Well, I don't go around ruining your life. But maybe I should, since you said its fun."
"It'll be my pleasure, Ma'am." James replied, grinning again.
"ARGH!" Lily shrieked, jumping onto her bed. She laid down and stared at the ceiling. Arabella looked at her and shoved her a bit. "Lils, " She started. "Let's go back downstairs…! C'mon, let's go…"
"No… I don't wanna…" Lily answered, stuffing her face into a pillow. "I'm freaking tired…I'll come down later…"
"Alright, suit yourself…" Arabella said. "C'mon boys…" she motioned Mundungus and James to follow her. Lily heard the door close. She held onto a pillow and doze off.
The rest of the party was rather uneventful. Lily did come down half an hour later, and she completely ignored James and Mundungus (who was hanging out with James) and spent her evening chatting up with Arabella.
