Chapter Three
Lily heard thundering footsteps running through the big house that stood in front of her. Instinctively, Lily took a step back from the doorway before she heard a voice call excitedly.
"Don't worry mum! I've got it!"
And the doorway flung open revealing a very good looking James, or that is what Lily thought.
"Heya Lils," James started. "Come right in!" James took her bags from Lily's arms and tried to hold the door open for Lily with his foot, but Lily held the door open for him. [iHe is so sweet. Oh stop it Lily, you are here only because you have new responsibilities. You are headgirl now. You can't be thinking about boys, no matter how nice or sweet or good looking they-[/i
"Are you gonna come is, Lils?" James asked.
"Oh, yes, thank you." Lily said, snapping back to reality. "I was just waiting for my mum."
"I am right here. Hello James, you have grown up since the last time that I have seen you. Where is your mum?"
"Oh thank you Mrs. Evans. She is in the kitchen." James said still carrying all of Lily's bags.
"I am sorry James, let me hold those for you."
"No no, you're the guest. And anyways. We will be leaving in just a bit, so there really isn't any reason taking these up to the room you will be staying in. I will just leave them by the front hall." James said. Lily smirked and James lips parted into a wide smile.
Lily's mum, Jane and James's mum Rachel, were standing in the kitchen chatting.
"You have grown up Lily Evans!" Rachel exclaimed, giving Lily a full look. "You are so pretty!"
"Thank you." Lily said, giving a small smile.
"Well, I think that I better go. Peatunia and I are going to visit my sister for a couple of weeks."
"Oh, how lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time."
"Thank you. Now Lily, you be a good girl. I love you, and I will see you at Christmas." Jane gave her daughter a kiss. She waved to Rachel and said bye to James and walked through the door.
"Well, we better go. I don't want you to miss the Hogwarts Express to get informed on everything." Rachel said as Jane pulled out of the driveway in their car.
Lily nodded her head and bent down to pick up her luggage. But James wouldn't let her.
"You are the guest, let me do it." And James got the rest of her luggage and put it in his mum's car. But, while he was out, Lily spotted James's, somewhat smaller pile of luggage and she picked it up and carried it to the car for him.
James looked up from the trunk and smiled.
"I was going to get that." James smiling.
"I beat you to it." Lily said, returning the smile.
