Chapter 3

"So, how was the date?" Marlene questioned the minutes Lily entered their apartment.

"Really wonderful, I think I could have a future with this guy, he's so perfect!" Lily exclaimed with giddiness.

"So your horoscope was right?" Marlene smirked.

Lily rolled her eyes. "We'll see. The only problem is he's a muggle and I don't know how he'd react to me being a witch. It was really hard not to slip up during dinner. I had to make up a school when he asked me where I went."

Marlene nodded her head in understanding, having dated a muggle or two in her life. "So, what does he do for a living?"

"You know, I'm still not sure! I think he does something with business, he was kind of vague about it." Lily replied.

"What did you tell him you did?" Marlene questioned.

"I said I was a doctor, I mean it is pretty similar to being a healer so it's not much of a stretch."

"Exactly! When am I going to meet this guy?" Marlene asked.

"I don't know, maybe I'll ask him around for dinner and you can be here when he arrives? I really want you to meet him I think you'd approve."

"Ask him to come to dinner tomorrow night! I don't have anything to do tomorrow so it's perfect! Cook him your famous lasagna." Suggested Marlene.

"Yeah, maybe, but tomorrow is so soon and I won't have time to make a lasagna with work. Besides, I don't know what his schedule is like, how about if I ask him round for dinner Saturday? I know you were planning to go clubbing with Mary, but you can meet him before you leave." Suggested Lily.

"Well, I guess I can wait…" Marlene teased.

Lily grinned. "Gah! I just really like him!"

Marlene laughed, "I know. So guess who I ran into today."

"Who?" Lily asked.

"Alice! She was getting her last measurements done for the wedding. Can you believe it's only two weeks away?" Marlene exclaimed.

"No! I'm so happy for her. I always knew she'd be the first of us to get married." Lily said with a smile.

Alice, Mary, Marlene and Lily had been good friends at school and had stayed friends after school had ended. It was exciting, Lily thought, to know that one of her childhood friends was going to get married in just two weeks.

"And her fiancée is just gorgeous and he's a Lord!" Marlene said with a contented sigh.

"Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that tidbit. I don't know, I don't think I'd want to be marrying a lord, I don't like having the limelight on me like that, the public watching my every move… it's just not for me, I never thought of Alice as the type to go for someone royal or famous. Lily mused.

"Really? I'd love to marry a Lord. You are probably the only girl who never had dreams of being a princess one day."

"Psh, please can you even imagine what I'd be like sitting on a throne? I'd get so bored!" And don't get me started on those stupid crowns a princess would have to wear. Who in their right minds would want to sport a crown? It's so tacky!" Lily exclaimed, color flushing her cheeks.

Marlene laughed as Lily's tirade came to an end and shook her head. "Well, it's a good thing you aren't being asked to be a princess, or wear a crown then isn't it?"

Lily nodded her head in an answer.

"So, are you asking James to be your date to the wedding then?" Marlene asked.

"No, I can't, can I? It's a magical wedding how would I be able to explain that to him?"

"So what are you going to do, go solo?"

Lily shrugged. "I haven't decided yet, what are you going to do?"

"I think I might go with Amos Diggory. We've been flirting quite heavily these last few weeks and he's such a fit bloke, I'd like to get with that, he's a wonderful kisser." Marlene said with a wink.

Lily wrinkled her nose at that. "When did you kiss him? Please don't tell me you did it at work, that's so unprofessional!"

"I'm not that slutty Lily! Remember fifth year? I snogged him in the broom cupboard on the fourth floor." Marlene replied.

"Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about him. Your fifth year conquests are dimmed in comparison to your sixth and seventh year ones." Lily teased.

"Oh ha ha ha you're oh so funny Evans" Marlene replied before throwing a pillow from the couch at Lily.

Before they knew it, both girls were laughing hysterically the way only best friends can.

"So you want to see what your horoscope says for this week?" Marlene asked when she'd finally caught her breath.

"No thank you, I'd rather be surprised." Lily replied.

Marlene shrugged. "Whatever floats your boat, I'm going to take a look though because I don't like to wait. Go call James and see if he wants to come for dinner Saturday." Marlene prompted.

Lily nodded and went to the kitchen and dialed James' number.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Do you know that we have to wear tuxes to Frank's wedding?" Sirius demanded of James as soon as James entered their flat.

"No hi James, how are you, how was the date." James said in response.

"Well, she's not with you right now so you're not getting laid, and those are the kind of dates I like to stay far away from." Sirius answered.

"For your information I actually really like Lily! We've been on two dates and we haven't known each other much longer than that, I think sleeping with her now before I'm ready to commit just isn't fair." James replied.

"Whatever mate. So about the tuxes, I hate tuxes, those bow ties are so uncomfortable and they look stupid! Who wants to walk around looking like a penguin?" Sirius asked.

"People in the South Pole probably" James answered absentmindedly.

"Huh?" Sirius asked.

"You know, the penguin hunters in the sough pole" James supplied as he sat down across from his friend.

"People hunt penguins? And don't penguins live in the north pole with the polar bears?" Sirius questioned.

"Well, I don't know if people hunt penguins, I mean I'm sure people have but I don't know if they're good for eating. I do know that no penguin has ever met a polar bear, they live on opposite sides of the globe, I mean have you ever heard of penguins and polar bears hanging out?" James asked.

Sirius shook his head. "How is it that we always end up talking about something stupid and completely irrelevant to what we started out talking about?"

"Well, I think it comes with being friends for so long, we don't judge each other on the stupid things, I mean come on I need someone who I can ask important questions to." James replied.

"You mean like is it butt or buck naked?" Sirius asked.

"Exactly! Who else would take me seriously if I asked that?" James prodded.

"No one mate, no one." Sirius agreed.

"So do you have a date for Frank's wedding or are you flying solo?"

"Are you kidding? Of course I'm going alone. Single girls at weddings are the most desperate which means sex, sex and more sex!" Sirius chuckled.

"Well, at least I won't be the only loser without a date" James said.

"Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah! The only losers are the ones who miss out on the opportunity to pick up single, desperate birds, and you my friend are a loser, a big, fat, loser!" Sirius told James.

"Thanks Padfoot, you're a great friend. It's too bad you're the only one who gets me or I'd have ditched you ages ago."

"You know you love me Jamie" Sirius said giving James kissy lips.

"Shut up Padfoot! And don't call me Jamie, you more than anyone knows how much I hate that na—" But James was cut off by the ringing of his telephone. Both men jumped not yet accustomed to hearing it ring. Not many people called them on it, finding owls to be more convenient.

"I'll get it." James offered.

"Hello?" He said into the phone.

"James? Hi it's Lily" Lily said

"Lily? Hi what's going on?" James asked. A stupid smile splayed across his face. Sirius saw it and made a gagging noise which James ignored.

"Nothing really. Look I know we just saw each other but I was wondering if you might want to come over for dinner Saturday night around 6:30? I'll make lasagna" Lily told him.

"Saturday at 6:30? Sure I'd love to come for dinner, lasagna sounds wonderful."

"Okay, it's a date then!" Lily said with a smile (though James couldn't see it).

"Well, bye James"

"bye Lily" and then they hung up.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The week went quickly for Lily. Saturday morning found her busy in the kitchen making tomato and meat sauce as well as boiling noodles for her lasagna.

"Need any help?" Marlene asked as she poured herself a cup of coffee upon entering the kitchen.

"No, I'm fine, but thanks for the offer. Later you can help me get dressed." Lily answered.

"Okay sounds good."

It took Lily a little over an hour to prepare the lasagna and she knew from experience that it would only take an hour to cook in her stove, so she covered the lasagna and put it into their fridge.

Lily glanced at her watch it was only noon, but she still had a lot to do. She tossed together a green salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. She added that bowl to the fridge too. Then she got out the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies and let them bake. When they were done Lily took them out of the oven. Marlene came into the kitchen just in time to taste one of the chewy, warm, delicious cookies.

"Just checking to make sure it isn't poisonous." Marlene announced when Lily gave her a look for eating the cookies.

"And?" Lily demanded.

"Delicious. If they are poisonous what a wonderful way to go."

Lily laughed. "Well, all the food preparations are done. Now all I've got to do is clean up in the living room and in my room."

"You're going to show him your room?" Marlene asked suggestively.

"Hmm… you never know" Lily replied, a sneaky smile on her face.

"Why, Lily Evans you little dog!" Marlene shrieked. Planning to get some tonight? I guess my bad influence is finally wearing off on you."

Lily laughed. "Hardly, but it's nice to be prepared. I mean I know I want to sleep with him eventually I just want to wait for the right time and if the right time is tonight then I'll be kicking myself for not cleaning up."

"I'll clean the living room, you work on your room and then we'll find you an outfit." Marlene told Lily excitedly. Marlene was almost more excited about Lily's date (and possible sex adventures) than Lily was.

Lily finished cleaning her room around five so she hopped into the shower. She had just enough time to take a lengthy shower (where she would shave—all over—just in case) deep condition, and then moisturize afterwards and be able to get the lasagna in the oven so it would be cooked before James arrived.

"Marley, what should I do with my hair?" Lily called from the bathroom, wearing a robe, her wand in hand and her hair laying in a wet mess against her shoulders, back, and neck.

"How about we go straight again?" Marlene asked.

Lily nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll do it for you but I think someday I should just teach you the charm so that you can do it yourself. I won't always be around to do your hair you know" Marlene joked.

Lily turned around and feigned shock. "What do you mean? You don't just follow me around to be my personal hairstylist?"

Marlene grinned. "Turn around so I can work on your hair." Lily did as she was told and turned around. Three minutes later her hair was nice and straight and it was dry.

"Thanks Mar!" Lily said as she hugged her friend.

"You get that makeup on I'll go find you an outfit to wear, it's really too bad he's already seen you in your green dress it just looks so beautiful on you." Marlene gushed.

"In a few weeks he won't even remember it and I can wear it again." Lily answered, as she lined her eyes in eye liner.

"True." Marlene replied with a chuckle before stepping out of the bathroom and into Lily's room, more specifically into Lily's closet.

She rummaged through Lily's clothes and picked out a black micro mini skirt she new Lily never wore because she deemed it "too short" but it was just the thing to get James' heart racing. She paired the black skirt with a dark blue long sleeved V-neck top that looked very nice on Lily. Then she went into Lily's underwear drawer, looking for the sexiest undergarments Lily owned. If Lily was planning to have sex with James tonight Marlene would be damned if she did it in her normal, boring, white cotton knickers.

It was slim pickings but Marlene managed to find a matching bra and panty set that she had convinced Lily to buy when they'd been out shopping. She doubted the garments had gotten much use. They weren't as promiscuous as some but were sexier than Lily's normal white cotton knickers. These were a dark green with a little bit of lace on them and Marlene knew they'd be perfect for tonight.

She then selected a pair of black leather boots from Lily's closet and the outfit was complete. Marlene smiled. She was sure Lily would fight her on the "lingerie" but Lily would thank her in the long run.

"So, what am I wearing?" Lily asked as she entered her room.

Marlene gestured to Lily's made bed and showed her the outfit.

"I should've known you'd make me wear the skirt." But Lily didn't fight it. Lily knew that if there was one thing Marlene was good at it was dressing to impress guys and Lily really wanted to impress James.

Lily got dressed and when she left her room she said to Marlene, "So, do I look okay?"

Marlene nodded, "You look gorgeous you're going to knock his socks off of him, and maybe more…" she said suggestively.

Just then, the buzzer for the lasagna went off and Lily was off like a bullet into the kitchen to get it out of the oven. At the same time the door bell rang.

"Mar, can you get it?" Lily called from the kitchen.

"Sure" Marlene called back before opening the door for James.

"Hi, I'm James Potter, you must be Marlene, Lily's roommate" James said with a smile.

Marlene gaped at him for a moment. He looked so familiar, but she had never met him, had she?

Marlene shook her head to clear herself of her thoughts. "Hi, sorry, yeah I'm Marlene, nice to meet you, come on in." she offered. "Lily's in the kitchen taking care of the lasagna."

A moment later Lily emerged from the kitchen and just as Marlene predicted, James' jaw dropped.

"Lily, you look gorgeous!" He gushed.

"Thanks you don't look too bad yourself." She answered with a flirtatious smile.

James grinned. "Here, I brought some wine, I asked at the liquor store what kind of wine was best with lasagna and I was told that this one is so let's hope." James said.

"James, it was nice to meet you." Marlene cut in before the two could get too involved in each other.

"Nice to meet you too." James replied with a smile.

Marlene walked towards her room ready to get ready for a night of clubbing with Mary MacDonald.

James helped Lily bring the salad and lasagna over to the table. He poured the wine and they spent a wonderful dinner chatting and laughing about everything and anything, well almost anything. Both were keeping secrets about their true identities, but they were having fun and that was all that mattered.

By the time they had finished dessert, the entire bottle of wine was gone and both of their inhibitions were released, at least somewhat.

Lily leaned in to kiss James. They kissed for quite a while, neither realizing when Marlene left wearing a very tiny dress and platform heels that would be impossible to dance in.

When Lily and James pulled away from each other Lily whispered in his ear, "do you want to sit on the couch, it might be more comfortable."

James nodded and they moved to the couch. Moments later Lily found herself on her back with James on top of her kissing her like he'd never kissed her before. His tongue was exploring every crevice of her mouth and all Lily could do was grip his shirt and moan. He moved his lips to her neck and sucked on it until he heard her moan. Lily's hips lifted up on their own accord and she sighed when she felt the hardness of James' erection pressing against her.

Lily wrapped her legs around James and began moving against him, hoping to feel that sweet hotness of his penis against her crotch again. She was rewarded and this time James moved with her. Her hands were everywhere; she put them under his shirt and ran them up his back, then over his shoulders and along his chest. It didn't take James long to catch on and soon he had his hands under her shirt, and he was cupping her breast through the bra and Lily moaned.

"Bedroom" she panted. James grunted but grabbed her and carried her to the room Lily motioned towards.

He plopped her down unceremoniously onto the bed but was on top of her again in a matter of seconds.

Soon their shirts had been discarded on the floor along with Lily's bra. James was exploring them, his thumb rubbing against her hardened nipples and then his mouth joined in with his hands and Lily was gasping and felt like putty.

And then her pants were off and his pants were off and then his boxers and all that was separating them now were her slightly sexy, green and lacy knickers. James looked Lily in the eye and asked, "are you sure?" Lily nodded in reply.

That was all James needed before he pulled her knickers off of her. His fingers were in her, stretching her, getting her ready for him and Lily gasped at the contact, he was so talented, it had been too long since she'd had a man like this, and suddenly his thumb was rubbing circles around her clit, two fingers thrusting in and out of her, making her wet enough with her own lubrication, and she was coming. Once she fully came down from her orgasm James pushed into her.

He hissed when he entered her and they moved together in an age old rhythm. They fit so perfectly together it was like they were made to be together. Lily's legs wrapped around James' waist making him hit her in a different spot that had Lily gasping. James' lips were on her collar bone and neck, peppering her with kisses, his lips found her nipples and suckled them and he felt her walls clench around him, she was coming again. As soon as her orgasm hit, his did too and he released himself into her with a cry of pleasure.

After, the two lay motionless, both trying to catch their breath. "That was, amazing" James said, finally climbing off of her and pulling her to his side.

"Mind blowing was what I was thinking" Lily replied with a smile.

James laughed. They spent the night together and when they woke in the morning James kissed her tenderly. "I'm really sorry love but I'm supposed to have brunch with my parents today, but I'll call you soon." He told her.

"Hmm, okay I'll miss you" Lily replied before placing a kiss on James' lips.

"I'll miss you too. It's still early, why don't you have a bit of a lie in I'll let myself out." James told her as he pulled on his shirt and then his pants.

Lily nodded and it looked like she was already half asleep.

When James left Lily's room he was greeted by Marlene's friendly, "good morning and goodbye" James grinned at her and waved.

About an hour later Lily got up, a huge smile plastered on her face."

"Well, someone got lucky last night!" Marlene laughed when Lily appeared in the kitchen.

"Three times" Lily beamed

"Wow, so the guys got stamina, very, very nice!" Marlene replied.

Lily giggled as she poured herself some coffee. "I like him even more now than I did before. So what did you think of him?" she asked Marlene between sips of coffee.

"Well, he's definitely handsome and very nice. He seems like a good guy so good choice Lils." Marlene told her.

"Really? Oh I'm so happy you like him!" Gushed Lily.

"You know, it's weird I feel like I've seen him before but I can't put my finger on it."

"Huh, that's strange, well I mean he does live around here it's possible you've seen him around."

"Yeah, maybe" Marlene replied.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Well, well, well, who got some last night?" Sirius asked as soon as James entered the flat.

"Yeah, I had sex last night, with Lily, and it was fanfuckingtastic!" James beamed.

"Finally you are worthy of being my best friend!" Sirius told James as he gave him a high five.

"I wish I could've stayed and had some wakeup sex with her but I've got to go to my parents for brunch." James told Sirius.

"Ah, King and Queen Potter are having their monthly 'when are you going to settle down James' brunch?"

"Unfortunately" James agreed.

"Well, at least this time you can tell them that you're seriously seeing someone. Though you might want to leave out the part about her being a muggle." Suggested Sirius.

"Yeah, I guess. But I mean we're still young, I'm 23 years old do I really need to get married already?"

"Hey, I don't believe in marriage period, let alone now when you're not even 30!"

"Yeah well, try telling that to my parents." James muttered.

Sirius laughed, "It won't be that bad, at least you'll get some good food."

James nodded in agreement. "I've got to be there in thirty minutes so I'd better hop in the shower, wouldn't want to meet my parents smelling like sweat a sex." James said.

Sirius laughed thinking to himself that James' parents would have heart attacks if James came to brunch as disgruntled and dirty as he was. Poor James, thought Sirius, always under pressure to marry the right girl. Well, Sirius thought, that must be the one downside to being a prince.
