The ice cream parlor was a candy red with two windows that took up most of the front wall. Inside they're were five small round tables with four white and red chairs. The floor was a black and white checker board tiles. There was a small black stage at the next to the door with a stool and a microphone. The walls had many vintage ice cream signs.

The trio walked to the end of the store were there were many ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from. Sirius' looked speechless for the second time that day. He placed his hands on the display window and pressed his face on it. His breath was fogging up the window when he heard a girl's voice coming from the back. "I'll be there in a second."

He quickly unstuck his face with a plop and tried to look cool next to James. James saw this and gave a small chuckle. Sirius returned a sheepish smile.

"Sorry about that. How may I help you?"

"I would like a vanilla ice cream cone. Potter? Black?"

"I would like a…oh…a cookie dough ice cream cone!" said James looking at the many different ice creams.

"I would like a…no…a er….a…hmm…What do you recommend?" asked Sirius seriously (no pun intended).

"Well vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry are always good, but if you're a bit more adventurous there's Banana Nut, Coconut Pineapple, Coffee Almond Fudge, Chocolate Fantasy; which is a chocolate lover's well…fantasy."

At this Sirius squealed like a girl. "I'll get two scoops of that!"

The girl looked at Lily with her eyebrows raised. Lily gave her a 'don't ask' look. Once they all had their ice cream and toppings the sat at a table next to a window. James was had gone bad into deep thought that he didn't notice that Sirius had swallowed half of his Chocolate Fantasy with sprinkles. Lily looked at him disgusted and wondered if she would be able to eat her ice cream without throwing up.

"That's it!" said James.

Sirius was so surprised that he choked on his cone and fell off his chair. James hurriedly went to Sirius' aid. "Don't….you…ever…do…that…again!"

"Sorry?"

"What made you think so much?" asked Lily.

"I've got to tell you James, but all this thinking is starting to scare me." said Sirius finishing his ice cream.

"I know, there's still evidence on your forehead. Well, I was thinking about Jacob. About how we look so much alike…Lily…is…is he the reason you won't go out with me?"

'Oh damn! Think fast!' thought Lily. She bit into her ice cream and tried to swallow it giving her a brain freeze. The pain made her drop her cone on her lap. Handing her cone to Sirius she ran towards the restroom leaving two confused boys behind.

'Fuck!', thought Lily as she hung on the sink waiting for her brain freeze to go away. As the pain started to go away she looked down at her pants and groaned. She had gotten ice cream on her crotch area. After taking most it off it looked as though she had wet herself. 'NEVER am I ever using that as an excuse again. Only if I had my wand to take this off. James has his…no, it would be too embarrassing walking up to him like this. Oh this is Potter I'm talking about! Why should I care what he thinks?! ARGH!'

Opening the door she stuck her head through the crack. He was sitting alone watching Sirius try to charm the girl. "Oh James," she said too sweetly. "can you come here please?"

He looked confused, but came over anyways. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, just peachy. Can I borrow your wand?"

"Why?!"

"I'm not going to use it against you!"

"Fine." he said looking at me for a hint of a lie.

"Thank you!" Lily said taking the wand and closing the door quickly. A second later she emerged looking spotless. Sitting down again she handed James back his wand.

"Why did you need it?"

"Oh, I just…saw a bug in there."

"You couldn't step on it?"

"Oh no! It was…on the ceiling!"

"Right…Well are you going to ask my question or not?"

Lily smacked her head. The reason she bit into her ice cream was to think what she would answer. She was so preoccupied with her jeans that she had totally forgotten. "Hey! Where's my ice cream?"

"Sirius' ate it. Hey, don't try changing the subject!"

"I don't have to tell you anything I don't want to! It's none of your business!"

"On the contrary my dear. It is my business since it has something to do with me."

"You're impossible!"

"You're attractive."

"You're…what? Potter! One more remark like that and-"

"And what Lily? We're not at school. You can't take points away, and you don't have your wand."

"SIRIUS! We're leaving!" yelled Lily turning around.

He received a piece of paper from the girl and ran over to Lily while glaring at James who was now looking at his feet. They walked in silence the rest of the trip back. Lily didn't even say bye as she walked into her house. She was at the base of the stairs when she heard her parents fighting in the kitchen. Quietly as possible climbed up and walked to her door. Her door was opening when Petunia came out of her room.

"Oh you're back aren't you?" she said distastefully.

"What are they on about now?"

"Of course you wouldn't know. You were out with those freaks! It seems that dad told mom he was coming home two hours ago when he was actually with his friends drinking. She walked in on them in his work shop. Dad's drunk as usual and as you can hear telling mom she has no business going to his work shop."

She was not surprised Petunia knew all of this. She was always snooping around. Lily closed the door behind her and her parents yells got duller. Looking at her room she felt relaxed. It was a forest green with a gold ceiling. There where dried roses of different colors all over and many different candles. Her bed and a small round table where a lighter shade of green. A small round gold mirror hung on her wall surrounded by pictures of her friends; both muggles and wizards. She spread herself on her bed and took in a deep breath.

Her thoughts went back to her parents when she heard her mother.

"YOU DON'T HAVE FREEDOM?! I DON'T HAVE FREEDOM! YOU DO NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE FRIENDS, WHILE YOU GET DRUNK WITH YOURS!…"

'Hrmm… well this one is new.'

OoOoOoOoOo

Her dad was a mechanic that worked long hours at work to go to his work shop afterwards to work on more cars. He was never really around the house. When she was younger she had Ballet recitals'. When her dad would come home she would give him and invitation. He would smile at her and promise he would go.

The day of the recital her mom would have to force him to go. Lily would come out happy at how well she did, but would see her dad mad and it would ruin the whole night. Her parents would fight after every recital. Lily would cry in her pillow. As she got older she stop inviting her dad. She still loved him, it's just that she hated the fact that he would work so much.

He would tell her that the reason he works so much is to be able to give her anything she wanted. She would smile at him and kiss his cheek and run back to her room. The older she got the less she saw him. It sometimes felt like she didn't have a dad. When she would see him he would just get a hi and she would go back to her room. She still loved him, but got used to him not being there.

Lily's mom would get tired of having to do everything. They would fight for days. Lily's mom would scream at him that being a father was more than just making money. That he needed to be there to see them grow up, to see them achieve their goals, to be happy for them.

OoOoOoOoOo

Lily wiped a tear from her eye standing up. She walked over to her phone to call her friend Marie.

"Bonjour?"

"Hey Marie!"

"Lily?! How are you?! You haven't talked to me since we left school! Shame on you!"

"I don't see you calling me either!"

"I called you today, but your mom said you where out with your new neighbors. So tell me any hot guys?"

"Oh god no! It's Potter and Black!"

"WHAT?! Are they're parents nice?"

"I've never met them. The two of them moved in alone."

"Well Lily. They're two guys and we're two girls…."

"NO!"

"Aww! Come on Lily! You know I've had a crush on Sirius since 3rd year."

"Well I think it's time for you to get over him."

"Lily I live a few blocks away from you. I can always just go walking there."

"HA! Like your mom would let you leave right now."

"Oh really? I'll be at your house in a bit!"

"What?! No!"

"Bye Lily!"

"Marie-"

Marie had hung up. Lily put the phone down and laughed. It was just like her to do something like this. It was 7 in the afternoon and doubted her mom would give her permission, but she would sneak out anyways. They had been friends since 1st year. They had no idea they lived near each other until Lily send her a message with her owl. She had returned really fast. If Lily looked out her window, she would be able to see Marie climbing out of hers. A few minutes later Lily heard her doorbell ring. Lily opened the door and saw a grinning Marie.

"Lily. Why is Marie here? Didn't you just come from her house?" asked Lily's dad coming from the kitchen.

"Umm..."

Ohhh!!! Bad Lily! I hope this clears things a bit more.

I've been trying to make my chapters longer, but I thought I should end this one here.

Like it? Hate it? Please tell me what you think!
