Chapter three
A/n- Hello people,back with a new chapter. Please enjoy...
Lily adjusted her skirt nervously. She looked at the huge mahogany doors of the potter manor. It had been a bad idea to go back home for one day. Her parents were behaving as if she was going away for marriage. Tuney looked more sulkier than ever and now she had to go alone in this huge house.
She again adjusted her hairs which were a bit in mess due to apparation and then she knocked. A house elf in a pretty little dress opened the door and bowed graciously. Lily nearly squeaked. She had never seen a house elf. She remembered Harry's description as a very ugly doll. But atleast this one wasn't wearing a pillow case.
She was ushered into the sitting area and she sat down looking around nervously. At the wall opposite to her their was a huge painting of the three potters. James' father looked pretty much like James except for the wild hairs. His mother was really pretty with curly brown hairs and baby James was unbelievably cute.
The real James came into the room with his sidekicks and Ginny, all looking very relaxed. Ginny came and hugged Lily. James and the others imitated her, though James lingered on a bit than required.
James' parents were out on work. The house elf Mili, as James called her, brought a drink and some snacks. They chatted for awhile and then went straight to business. Book reading. They planned on completing two books in Christmas holidays.
Chapter five
The whomping willow
The marauders shared startled looks.
The end of... think you're doing?"
"What! That's not possible,they dont seal it for another fifteen minutes for the muggle parents to get out" Lily said confused.
"Lost control... car to Hogwarts!"
"Wicked!" Sirius yelled happily "Next year we are coming on my bike". "We are not coming next year Sirius" Remus reminded him. Sirius' face of childish happiness soon turned into a truly grave expression. He said excuse me and pretended to hide a sob in remus' shoulder who pushed him away easily.
"But I thought... they get home?"
"Yeah that's the real problem in the plan" Remus said rolling his eyes.
"They dont need... suddenly to excitement.
"Truly your son" Lily said shaking her head to James as if he suggested the plan to Harry. He just smiled cheekily.
"Can you fly it... below them.
"They cant seriously be doing this" Lily asked exasperated.
Then their was a popping... they couldn't stop.
Lily nearly smiled at that.
It was as though... engine died completely.
"Uh-oh" They all said.
"Uh-oh" Ron said... attacking them.
"Of all the trees in the place, they had to crash into the willow." James said running a hand through his hairs.
Its trunk... that hits back.
They chuckled at that.
He glanced over... the school train.
"Why is he waiting for them, its the duty of our old maggy not him" Sirius said referring to McGonagall.
Harry spun around... MYSTIFIES MUGGLES.
Lily clapped a hand over her mouth.
He began to read... disappointment in his voice.
"Yeah Dumbledore can make you feel guilty for hitting Ms Norris too" James said exchanging a dark look from his partner in crime, Sirius, who mirrored it.
For some reason... also in Gryffindor."
Lily smiled at Ginny.
"Oh good"... scramble in after them.
"Typical Gryffindor, they just love trouble makers." Lily said rolling her eyes. "Well you are a Gryffindor, you love trouble makers too?" James asked Lily who muttered a small "Oh yeah" which no one else could hear. James' eyes went wide and he gulped visibly. Lily batted her eyelids and started reading again.
"Brilliant!" yelled... grinned too.
Chapter six
Glideroy Lockhart
The next day... now in slings.
"See at least Harry feels guilty for his deeds" Lily said to Sirius who feigned a hurt expression too "I feel guilty too, in my seven years I haven't ever came flying to school, ofcourse I feel guilty" he received a pillow from Lily which he caught easily and plopped down on it.
Professor sprout,... as you are now.
"Did he just called my son a nobody" James said already hating Lockhart. "He's the only one ever to say that except for may be Voldemort" Ginny said happily seeing their shocked faces.
In fact, I was... repotting Mandrakes today.
"Oooh I loved that lesson" Lily said. She was met with weird looks. "How can you like a lesson about crying ugly plants" Sirius said wrinkling his nose.
Now who can... top of his lungs.
"Lovely description" Lily muttered.
Professor sprout... wasn't pleased.
Lily suddenly laughed. "Remember in our lesson, you weren't paying attention and made that creepy red button with eyes and legs" Lily said laughing at James. "Its not my fault, you were looking too distracting that day with your new fringy hairstyle" James said grinning. Sirius wolf whistled and Lily immediately stopped laughing and started blushing.
Harry was relieved... signed photos, Potter?"
"Draco" they winced.
Loud and scathing... quite their yet."
"Ugh.. Can you believe this guy. Harry isn't a bighead." lily said irritated.
They had reached... the real thing.
They chuckled at that.
The rest of... Harry potter fan club.
Ginny grew very red and muttered "I hate Ron" under her breath. The others bit in their laughter and Sirius failed miserably and laughed out loud. They all followed him including Ginny.
"Shut up"... ideal gift be?
"He's mad" Remus said "I can't believe he has order of Merlin, third class!". Ginny chuckled "Oh, you'd know".
Half an hour... Cornish pixies"
"Cornish pixies, I haven't heard of those" Lily said making a mental note to check them out in Library.
Seamus Finnigan couldn't... into the air.
Lily gasped slightly.
Several shot straight... he's done" Ron muttered.
"Unbelievable! How could Dumbledore appoint such a teacher." Lily said. "It wasn't a very popular post, you'll see." Ginny replied.
It was getting late. They had dinner almost equivalent to Hogwarts dinner made by house elf's. The marauders were a nice company to be with at holidays. They were out of bounds and totally childish running about the house, having food war after filling up to their heart's content.
Lily entered her room with Ginny laughing and covered with gravy and pudding. She changed her clothes and plopped down on the huge bed beside Ginny who was already asleep.
But Lily couldn't sleep. The bed was too soft for her comfort and Lily couldn't stop thinking about James and what it would be like to live in this huge house every day. After counting sheep and tossing around for three hours, Lily got up and headed to the kitchen for some water. She was near kitchen when she heard a super excited James' voice. A girlish laughter followed him. Lily felt her heart drop. She went close and pressed her ears to the wall.
"...and then Sirius took the gravy bowl and turned it upside down on Lily..." James said laughing when a deeper voice cut him "Lily! I've heard that somewhere". "Er! Yeah Dad she's the head girl from school, I told you about her" James said stammering a bit. His dad chuckled and said "The girl who's so pretty that she resembles the angel in the painting by the study, only red headed". "Dad! I was eleven, would you please stop bringing that up." Lily smiled to herself, he called her fat immatured self from eleven an angel, when all she did was snap at him all the time. She tensed when she heard the girlish chuckle again. "Can I meet her? Are you guys getting married? Oh I cant believe our Jamesie poo is getting married". "Mom!" James said in horror. Oh his mom, lily visibly relaxed. "We are not getting married, she's here for Christmas and please for Merlin's sake no Jamesie poo in front of her." His mom and dad laughed and Mrs Potter added "But why you are my Jamesie poo" apparently squeezing his cheek because he said in a muffled voice "Ouch Mom! I am going to sleep. You guys can meet her in the morning, goodnight."
He came out of kitchen and froze at the sight of her. "How long have you been hear?" "Long enough Jamesie poo" she said laughing and he grew very red. She crossed the distance between them and pecked him on cheek "Good night James" she muttered softly and turned back to go to her room. James stood their with a huge smile.
