Merlin Mum, stop staring at him. You're married. And your daughters dating him.

Well at least her mum likes me. Her dad...not so much.

After Lily had introduced her mum to both of the boys Mrs. Evans had announced that dinner was ready and on the table.

Conversation had started off light. Lily's mother had the boys talking about school and how they had liked Hogwarts.

Everything was going well until her father spoke up.

"So," it seemed like a struggle for him as he said 'that boy's' name, "James, when did you and Lily start dating?"

Um...

See, funny story, my friend got us stuck together. And in between sleeping in the same bed and showering together she managed to fall in love with me. That's what a father wants to hear.

Oh just kill me now.

"Well actually I've been in love with Lily since...somewhere around first or second year," James tried to stay casual as he spoke. "But she never paid much attention to me. And then last year I was head boy and she was head girl. And she finally got to know me and things just continued from there."

Sirius snorted and James kicked his shin. Sirius shut up.

"Well that's nice," Mrs. Evans smiled at both Lily and James. "That's really sweet."

"So how long have you been dating then?" Mr. Evans questioned.

"Um..."

"Er..."

"Since December wasn't it?" Sirius supplied.

"December?" her mother repeated. "That's almost seven months and you never told us?"

"Not since December," Lily shook her head, "since April."

"So you've only been dating for a few months," her father said making it known how unimpressed he was.

Oh Merlin, really Dad?

"Yes Sir," James nodded. "But we had been friends for awhile before that."

Oh that's good. Let's go with that. Now for a change of topic.

"James and Sirius were both on the quidditch team," Lily said.

"Really?" now her father seemed excited. "So how exactly do you play I've always wondered."

Finally.

Finally.

James looks...comfortable...somewhat.

This is going well.

Well at least Dad doesn't hate him anymore. At least he's being decent.

Hey, they both have brown hair. Where'd Lily get red from?

Aw that's sweet of them. Even offering to clear the table.

Okay, dinner's over.

"James, Sirius, is there a certain time you have to be home by?" Mrs. Evans asked.

James and Sirius glanced at each other, "Curfew's at twelve," they answered together.

What bull. We don't have a curfew.

They have a curfew? Oh well, Dad looks impressed.

"Well how'd you boys get here?" Mrs. Evans questioned curiously.

James and Sirius looked at Lily.

Go ahead they aren't opposed to magic.

Well her dad seemed okay with quidditch...so...

"We flew," Sirius shrugged.

Mrs. Evans looked shocked, "How far do you live?"

"Not by plane Mum," Lily held back laughter, "by broom."

"Right," her mum smiled. "Of course. I always forget these things."

"So boys," her father leaned forward on the couch interestedly, "tell me more about the bludgers aren't they dangerous?"

"Well they basically whizz around trying to knock you off your broom," Sirius started.

"Not exactly your best friend," James continued, "but not deadly."

"Ah," Mr. Evans nodded. "So what about the snitch?"

James shrugged, "I used to be seeker- the person who caught the snitch- they're harmless, but quite annoying due to their size."

"So you were always a seeker then?"

"No, I played chaser during sixth and seventh year," James told him.

"Prongs was captain of the team," Sirius announced with a grin.

Okay so maybe they didn't catch the 'Prongs' part...

"Prongs?"

Or maybe they did.

"Sorry," Sirius apologized. "It's just a nickname. I meant James."

No more questions...no more questions...please no more questions.

"Odd," her dad muttered. "But James you were captain? That's fantastic! What was that like?"

Okay moving on.

While James and Sirius were still talking about quidditch with her dad Lily's mum went and sat beside Lily and began whispering.

"Lily, James seems like a nice boy."

Lily glanced at James, "He is."

"He's a good catch Lily. He's seems sweet-"

He is sweet.

"It looks like he cares about you quite a lot."

I care about him too.

What are Lily and her mum talking about?

"And he's handsome."

No, he's hells hot.

She keeps looking over here. Are they talking about me? And Sirius?

"Lily, I know you're dad isn't so thrilled about this," her mother began. "But he's just...being a dad. He trusts you, really he does. It's just...you're growing up Lily. Pretty soon you'll be off getting married-" Lily's stomach twisted at the thought. She was eighteen! "Your father just needs some time to get used to it all. I know he doesn't really want you to go."

Ah you noticed too?

"I'll try and persuade him alright?" Mrs. Evans smiled at her daughter and Lily gave her a hug.

Her mum patted her knee and sighed, "You promise to write every few days though?"

Lily nodded excitedly. "Then you can go," her mother agreed. "But don't tell your father I said yes without clarifying with him first. You know men, always have to be involved. I'll deal with him later. You pack your bag tonight."

Lily beamed, "Are you serious!" she all but screamed.

"Over here!"

"Oh everyone's had enough of your serious/Sirius jokes," James said tiredly.

Sirius suppressed a grin, "But they're siriusly hilarious."

"Oh that was good one!" Mr. Evans exclaimed.

At this point Lily would normally bury her face in her hands and shake her head but she was too excited.

"Someone thinks I'm funny," Sirius high-fived with Mr. Evans. "Thanks man."

Thanks man? Oh Merlin, I thought you were good with parents. Black you were doing great...

Surprisingly her father nodded back at Sirius though.

Dad you're not cool.

Well Mr. Evans certainly changed.

Hours later Sirius and James finally said they had to leave. After saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Evans James and Sirius headed to the door and Lily walked them out.

After she had stepped out onto the porch with them and closed the door behind her both boys looked at her.

"How'd we do, Evans?" Sirius asked.

"That was great," Lily hugged James. "So great that my mum said yes. She still has to convince my dad but I should be able to go."

"No hug for me Evans?" Sirius held out his arms and Lily looked at him questioningly. Sirius dropped his arms and put a hand to his chest, "I'm hurt Lily. And after all I've done for you."

James pulled Lily into him and away from Sirius with a smirk.

"Group hug!" Sirius yelled and wrapped his arms around both of them.

Lily laughed and struggled to get out from between the two boys and finally managed to slip out. Once the boys realized they were hugging each other they let go and jumped back.

"Warn us Lily," James said.

Headlights came rounding down the dark street and all three of them turned.

"Damn it," Lily cursed, "its Vernon. He's dropping Petunia off."

James pulled out his wand, "I was hoping to meet her."

Lily took his wand from his hand. "No. No wands and...no brooms. You're going to have to wait until she goes inside before you can leave."

They watched as Vernon got out of the car and went around the car to open Petunia's door and let her out. Petunia stepped onto the driveway and kissed Vernon.

Oh gross. Disgusting walrus.

Lily wasn't kidding when she called him a walrus.

Then Vernon got back in the car and waited until Petunia had made it up to the porch. Petunia waved-not even realizing there were other people there- and blew a kiss before Vernon drove off.

"Hi Petunia," Lily said evenly. Petunia jumped and spun around to face Lily.

"I told you not to use your...magic here," she snapped.

Lily rolled her eyes, "I didn't use magic. I was standing here the whole time."

Petunia wasn't listening to Lily anymore though; instead she was staring at the two cute guys behind her.

"Hi I'm Petunia. You can call me Tuny," she batted her eyelashes and held out a hand for the boys' to shake.

Sirius smirked while James almost took a step back from her. Sirius shook her hand, smiled deviously and opened his mouth to say something when Lily interrupted.

"Fine, Tuny, this is Sirius Black and James Potter," Lily pointed as she said who was who and then put her arm around James' middle.

"I'm sure they can introduce themselves Lily," Petunia sneered.

"Yeah Lily," James grinned down at her and then held out a hand for petunia to shake, which she willingly took. "I'm James Potter, Lily's boyfriend."

Petunia dropped his hand as if it had burned her and finally realized how close Lily was standing to James.

Petunia glared at Lily and made to go inside, as she brushed past Lily she hissed, "You are such a freak."

"Hey, what about us? We're freaks too," Sirius informed her pulling out his wand and waving it around like a lunatic.

Petunia shrieked and ran inside.

Sirius turned to Lily, "I think it'd be fun to stay around her."

"I told you no wands," Lily laughed. Sirius tucked his wand away and the two boys went around the side of the house to grab their brooms.

Lily led them into the back yard figuring there'd be less of a chance of them being seen in the muggle neighbourhood.

James and Sirius mounted their brooms. "So does this mean I should get the house elves to prepare an extra room?" James asked Lily.

"Is it alright if I come tomorrow?"

"I already checked with my parents and they said whenever," James shrugged.

Lily kissed his cheek and smiled, "Thanks, then I'll see you tomorrow."

"See ya Evans!" Sirius called as he shot up into the air.

Just because he can't be seen doesn't mean he can't be heard.

Padfoot shut up!

"Goodnight Lils." James followed Sirius up into the air and they both took off.

Well then I guess I have some packing to do.

A/N: I had to put in a Sirius/Serious joke. Or two. Siriusly (I know, I know) it must be some kind of rule or something that any story with Sirius must have a Sirius/Serious joke. So really I just HAD to do it. And there it is. For your enjoyment. Just so you can chuckle and roll your eyes at it.

Okay I know this is a big goal but I want to hit 100 reviews within this chapter and the next. Or even this chapter if we can. When I sent the snippets for the last cahpter I realized there was a lot...so this time if you want a snippet you'll have to specify and I'll be picking out the reviews that seem to call out. I just don't exactly have the time to answer every single one individually and I can't copy and paste the exact same message.

BUT thank you to everyone who did review. And to Baby Girl's A Queen who's been giving me constructive criticism. And aslo thank you to the people who took the time to guess both or either of the questions last chapter.

Finally here's the next question: I painted yesterday. It was with acrylic paint. What did I paint?

Anyways here's to one hundred,

Scarlett
