Chapter Three: Shopping, heated denials and Mountain Dew

It was a cool late June morning with birds chirping and singing in the early morning sunlight. Lily Evans was tossing and turning in her bed trying to wake up from the remnants of the previous nights nightmare. It had been a collection of glimpses of James and small toddlers playing together while eating chocolate. Then there would be a flash of green light and all would disappear. These glimpses made Lily queasy, every time she'd see James and the toddler she'd get a flipping feeling in her stomach.

Which completely confused her, she'd just met him not more than three weeks ago, and thought him to be quite the conceited jerk. Of course he was handsome, no one could deny that, but she just didn't like him at all. And she just couldn't shake that feeling she received every time she had that dream, and unfortunately for her, she's had it for at least a week and a half.

Deciding that she couldn't sleep anymore, she got up and walked into Heathers room. When she walked in she found her sprawled across her bed mumbling something about the Irish International Quidditch teams beater. Then she giggled and rolled off the bed. She landed with a large thump and sat bolt up right.

"Oh but Robbie where is the whipped cream?" She giggled and looked up at lily.

"Um Heath' huh, who's Robbie?" Lily asked slightly confused.

"Umm??" She said waking up, "No one"

"Right, and what whipped cream means nothing to you?"

"Uhh, you, umm ok so I was dreaming about romantic escapades with Irelands beater and whipped cream, sue me?"

"No, but what about Sirius?"

"Uhh well he may be quite the handsome specimen but well lets just face it, Robbie McKinley is just way hotter"

"Ok, well what do you say we go and get some breakfast then head off into muggle London for a nice fun filled day of shopping"

"You mean book store buying?"

"No, I mean hard core shopping" Lily smiled.

"Like new clothes and material items which you call a waste of time?" She asked confused.

"Yep" Lily said plopping down on Heathers bed.

"Lily, wtf is your problem today?"

"Nothing I'm just anxious to get away from here today"

"Would this new attitude from book lover extraordinaire be because of a certain handsome neighbor of ours that I haven't dated yet or will ever, never mind I'm shutting up coz well uhh yeah."

"No, this has nothing to do with James Potter" She lied.

"Yeah and I'm a monkeys behind."

"Really I always thought you were my best friend whom was a Quidditch obsessed freak?"

"Nope, coz if this isn't about James Potter than I am and this must be about James Potter because Lilybean, you hate shopping, unless its for books."

"Uhh please, can we just go shopping?" She pleaded.

"Yeah, I spose"

Ooo

"Lilybean, can we go to the football store?" Asked an anxious looking Heather. (AN: Ok guys football as in the British version, soccer, coz well soccer rocks my socks- Violet -)

"Heath' we went in there twice already today" Said a heavily busy Lily as she priced history books.

"Fine" Heather pouted plopping down on a rather large poof in front of one of the many history bookshelves. She pulled out a book on plants, she rolled her eyes at Lily and started to read.

It was about an hour later that both girls left the book shop heading towards the Evans mansion. Lily had bought about 14 books, all on the history of London, and the people that made it famous, while Heather had walked out with nothing more than a romance novel about a girl that refused to love a man who was desperately in love with her, Lily thought it to be a useless book but Heather just told her its because she Lily was absolutely in love with James Potter and refused to admit it just like the girl in the book.

When they arrived back at the Evans mansion, The girls found a note telling them that Mr. Evans was at work in Paris and Mrs. Evans went to a job conference in the United States. So the two were completely alone. Petunia Evans was at a friends house in Niece so the two had the house completely to themselves.

"Heath'?"

"Yeah Lils?"

"Party time……"

About an hour later both girls were in the west wing living room eating popcorn and watching Bridges of Madison County.

"Lilybean, this has got to be the most boring movie I've ever watched" Heather pouted while painting Lily's nails.

"Fine, put in that dumb movie about pirates" She said taking a sip of her soda.

"Yay, Pirates of the Caribbean here I come" She exclaimed jumping up and running over to the DVD player. She switched movies, pushed play and ran back to finish painting Lily's nails.

After about 3o minutes the two girls were deeply engrossed into the movie despite Lily's feudal attempts.

"Dun, Dun, Dun Dun Dun Dun Dunt Dun. Dunt, Dunt, Dunt Dun Da Dun at" Cried Heather. (AN: its he's a pirate ok, I mean come on I love that song and well its pirates, who doesn't love them eh? Violet -)

"Heath' your crazy" Lily said

"Yeah, I know. But don't you just love that music?"

"Yeah, but poor Will, are him and Elizabeth ever going to see each other again?" She asked concerned.

"Yes Lilybean, they will."

Both girls spent the rest of the night watching a collection odd romance flicks, paining nails and talking about hair. It was about 9:oo when someone knocked on the door.

"You get it"

"Why me, you should your taller"

"You've got more muscle"

"So"

"So"

"Fine, I will but if I die Lilybean, tell Sirius he's the sexiest beater on the planet"

"I thought Robbie McKinley is?"

"Well uhh just tell him that, please?"

"Sure thing"

"I love you Lilybean" She said walking out of the room and down a flight of stairs.

"Hello?" She asked opening the door.

"Heya love" Came a tenor voice.

"Sirius?" She asked turning on a light.

"Yep"

"What are you doing here?" She asked giving him a hug.

"Well you see we were told by Mrs. Potter that your parents were going to be gone for a few days and me and James didn't feel right about leaving you alone for that long."

"Is James here?" She asked behind Sirius.

"Yep" Came a cheerful voice.

"Wicked, we've got some movies on upstairs, you two want to join us?" She asked excitedly.

"We'd love to huh James?"

"Yep"

O0o

"But she's gonna marry the law dude right? Heathie poo tell me she's gonna marry the law dude he's my favorite" Sirius asked teary eyed. They were watching the notebook a highly romantic film about a high class girl and a lower class boy who fell in love.

"I cant Sirius, you have to watch it and see" She replied watching the move with utmost attention.

"Hey Lily, who's hotter now? Lawn? Or Noah?" Heather inquired with relish.

"Lawn, he's very sophisticated" She replied.

"Belagh? Lilybean he's boring"

"No he's just classy, see I like guys who have dignity you like guys that play sports and jokes on people, that's our difference."

"Noah has feelings" She replied invoking a war of traits of the two movie characters with her sister.

"Hey Heathie poo? Is Lawn the sophisticated dude?" Sirius asked popping a chocolate covered cherry in his mouth.

"Yeah"

"I like him, she should marry him" He said popping another in his mouth while smiling like a school girl.

"Padfoot, your such a nut" James said from the back of the room. He had been there for quite a while just being silent and thoughtful. He half wished he could be like that with Lily, in love and happy, he could only wish to be true, if only' he thought.

"Prongs, why don't you join us over here? Were having a gay oh time."

"Hmm ok" He said standing up and taking a seat to the right of Sirius.

"Hey James? What do you think. Lawn or Noah?" Lily asked glaring at her sister.

"Uhh well I kind of like Noah, he doesn't have a stick up his but" He replied popping a chocolate covered cherry in his mouth as Sirius had done. However unlike Sirius he choked and spit it out.

"Whoa Prongs you ok?" Sirius asked patting his mate on the back.

"Um yeah, those things are so grose, who picked those out?" he asked still grimacing.

"Lilybean did" Heather stated pulling out a bag of cubed caramels. "Want one?"

"Caramel?" he asked excited.

"Yep" she said handing him one.

"Prongs this time, try not to get high off of the caramel."

"Will try Padfoot" He said popping five in his mouth at once.

"Aww come on Sirius you know you want caramel too.." Heather coed.

"Sorry love but I'm not partial to caramel"

"Partial?" James asked "When did you start talking like moony?"

"Uhh since I started watching this movie" He said looking back at the screen.

"Heather?" Lily asked

"Yeah Lily bean?"

"Can I read that book of yours?"

"Err yeah which ever one you want" She engrossed in the movie.

"Thanks" She replied popping a piece of popcorn in his mouth.

0Oo

"Ok Guys" Heather said brushing tears out of her eyes "Who wants the magical elixir of life?"

"Coffee?" Sirius inquired

"Uhh tea?" James asked secondly

"Must you Heather?" Lily eyed her.

"Yes, after sad movies we must drink this, this everlasting life substance"

"But what is it love?"

"Well Siri' it's a little drink called Mountain dew" She said with relish.

"You mean the dew of plants after a cold night that comes from the Mountains?" James asked oh so confused.

"Nope, it's a muggle soda"

"Soda?"

"A carbonated substance"

"Uhh" James asked "What's a carbonated substance?"

"Here" She handed him a glass bottle of the oh so lovely green substance.

"Do I drink it?" He asked fearfully.

"Yes James, you drink it"

"Umm Heathie poo?" Sirius asked

"Yeah?"

"Can I have some?"

"Of course…."

"Yay"
