Chapter 4

Days of Summer


'Lily are you listening to me? Lily?' but I wasn't paying attention my eyes unfocused staring out the window wondering about what James had said to me earlier he mentioned something about a Quidditch world cup, guess he thought I'd be interested.

2 hours ago

'Lily hey, wait up, I need to talk to you for a minute' yelled James as I dragged my trunk into the entrance hall I was almost glad not to be in a verbal sparing match with him.

'I really wanted to apologise about the... trouble I've caused you this year, I was so out of line picking on Sniv-Snape this year, I was hopping that you would forgive, er, me for all the calming drafts madam Brooks shoved down you throat and that, er, that we could be friends, maybe?' James seemed to have trouble finding words. I was a little surprised by this sudden turn of events but hoped for a decent out come.

'Yeah, maybe that could work out. Tell me. When did you decide to be the good guy here?' I asked everything was I mystery around James I wasn't able to read his expression on his face like Kate or Sirius.

'Well being the bad guy can be a little tyring. Hey do you know about the Quidditch world cup coming up next month? I was wondering if you would like to go with my friends Remus' mother got tickets and there was a extra and Remus wants you to come.' James was kink of begging me to accept the offer I mean it was unfair to play the Remus card James knows as well as I that I would do anything (almost) for him.

'I'd have to check with my parents first but other than that I'd love to go, who's playing?' my voice sounded to eager to know, I was never in this life time going to spill that I loved Quidditch to James and Sirius they would corner me and force Quidditch talk out of me for hours.

'Scotland's Pride of Portee and Australia's Melbourne Storm, why are you so eager?'

'No reason!' I yelled back as I ran to meet Kate and Andrew at the gates.

An exasperated Kate brought me back to the present situation, Kate had her famous 'what the hell were you day-dreaming about?' face on and I had know intention to of telling her about James' invite.

'Hey Lil, what wrong with you do you have a sudden death wish or something, even James knows not to piss Kate off!' asked a nervus Andrew, you'll see that Kate has a habit of mess with her and you die attitude to almost everything witch would make her the perfect person for Sirius but they are ever at logger-heads they never stop arguing, they argue over home-work to Quidditch, it's like world war three but with out all the Germans. Anyway, lets get back and get this over with.

'James asked me to the Quidditch world cup during the summer' OH MY GOD did that just come out of my mouth. Yes it did, oh how I wish I had I time-turner.

'REALLY, when, where, why?' probed Kate

'Just before we left the school grounds, entrance hall and I DON'T KNOW' I really don't need this conversation to be out there for all to see so lets just fast forward one hour.

One hour later

After the 'conversation' I went for a much needed walk to the luggage compartment to think 'bout what I had done. Why did I tell her of all people the James asked me to the Quidditch world cup? Because I don't think, I never think, I always need to talk to some one, but that's why I have Nathan Hewitt! Nathan was a fellow first year Gryffindore, he had bright red Curly hair that went everywhere but it never bothered him, he was very freckly but all that never matter to any-one because if were a Gryffindore and needed someone to talk to you talked to Nathan he knew everything 'bout every one but never told any ones secrets he's the most trust worthy person I've ever met, even Potter trusted him! Anyway, as I was sitting in on an unknown trunk taking the crap out of myself someone open the door and asked.

'Evans, are you all right? I saw you walking in the hallway with the 'I'm going to kill you potter' look on your face and that can only mean trouble for some one or some thing you never know which with you you're so unpredictable, in a good way' James added carefully not wanting to set a short fuse.

'Its just Kate she seems to read to much into things?' I replied making sure to imply that I was no harm to him but to Kate, it was possible, if no body stoped me. But I knew James would.

'The Quidditch world cup?'

'How did you know? Did you hear?'

'Yes and no, you see Kate's Father was the one to get us the tickets and so she was going to ask you to came, naturally but as I like to mess with her I got to you first, before I came to fine you I ran into her and she gave me quite a mouth full and don't worry she's not mad at you.'

'Why would I worry?'

'You had you 'Kate's got her fight face on' look'

'Do you know all my looks or just those two?'

'Now it's the 'James your pissing me off' look. Yeah I know almost all of you looks.' This continued till the train rolled to a stop and we had to get off. I went to meet my parents.

'DAD, I've missed you so, so much' as I dropped my trunk and ran in to fathers arms. 'Can I you some thing?'

'You just did, but you can ask another'

'James asked me if I would like to go to the Quidditch World cup and I'd really like to go but I need your permission to go. Please?' I begged

'Let me talk to his parents first to make sure I know you'll be safe okay!' I nodded and lead him over to the potters. They were talking to who I guessed was Remus' mother and Peter's father, Sirius was looking, with little effort to find his parents (he never liked his Parents his was talking 'bout going to the potters for the summer, talk 'bout avoiding people).

'Hi James, this is my father, Jonathan Evans' I said slightly bored

'Hey Evans what's with the 'I'd rather be anywhere but here' look?' I just stuck my tongue out at him. 'Lily this is my younger sister Lavender she's starting Hogwarts next year. Lavender, Lily, Lily, Lavender.' Lavender was I foot shorter than her brother and had the same red hair and her mothers, in fact she was I mini version of her mother but her eyes were the same electric blue her father had, James and I talked 'bout Quidditch until he asked.

'When did you get so into Quidditch, if I knew you like it this much I would have brought it up I long time ago.'

'I did some research for my younger brother who has shown some magical prospects so he might be going to Hogwarts in September' I replied dryly

'Lily-Rose you going to go to the cup and if your brother get accepted to Hogwarts he gets to go to' dad said pulling me way

'Dad that's great, bye James'

'love the 'Dad don't use that name in public' face, priceless' teased James as I dragged dad to the car to go home where I would give my pillow a good and proper bashing.
