Chapter 9
James guided Lily toward a smiling couple.
"James!" The lady squealed running towards him. James smiled and hugged his mother tightly, slightly bending over.
"Hey Mum. Dad." His dad slapped him on his back while James muttered a small 'ow'.
"MRS. P!" Sirius yelled running towards her.
"Oh Siri! I missed you!" Lily watched, laughing.
"I missed you too Mrs. P. And you're cooking of course."
"I'll make you something when we get home." Mrs. Potter replied. Sirius whole face lit up.
"I love you!"
James walked over to Lily and grabbed her hand.
"Mum? Dad? This is Lily." He told them. Mrs. Potter rolled her eyes like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Of course it is. Who else would it be? You talk about her enough, though you did her no justice! Hello Lily," Mrs. Potter said kindly, "I'm Rachel Potter and this is my Husband, Anthony." She said giving Lily a motherly hug. Lily was taken aback, but smiled and returned the hug.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Potter," she said. Lily held out her hand to Mr. Potter. He had Bright blue eyes, but has James's smile and unruly black hair. Mrs. Potter was Lily's height (5'4") and had the same hourglass figure. Lily saw tat James got his warm, loving Hazel eyes from her.
Anthony took Lily's hand and kissed it. Lily laughed her musical laugh as Rachel smacked him on the shoulder.
"Come on lets go home." Mrs. Potter announced. Everyone got in the car Sirius and James on either side of Lily.
"Jamesie Poo has told them so much about you Lillers." Teased Sirius. James groaned in embarrassment as Lily looked at him, amusement dancing in her eyes. Ahh, blackmail was a useful thing in Hogwarts.
"Yes it's true. He wouldn't shut up. Got annoying after a while." Added Mr. Potter "We thought after 3rd year he'd catch on that you didn't like him. Of course, he never did."
Sirius let out a bark-like laugh (A/N: Hmmmm. I wonder why? Note sarcasm)
"He used to mope around, right Mr. P?"
"Yeah, remember-,"
"Stop, you are embarrassing poor Jamie."
"Mum, don't call me that."
"Awww Jamie!"
"Shut up Lily."
"Don't tell Lily to shut up Prongs."
"You can shut up too Padfoot."
"James stop!"
"Yeah, what your Mum said Prongs, Stop!"
"Sirius, I was referring to him being mean to Lily."
"Thank you Mrs. Potter."
"No problem Deary. James apologize!"
"Sorry Mum. Sorry Lily."
"That's better. Anthony there's a stop sign!"
"I see it!"
"Then why weren't you slowing down?"
"I was!"
"Dad you just missed our house."
"Oh…. yeah…"
They pulled up to a house, no- Mansion. Lily stepped out of the car in awe. The house was stone, like Hogwarts, and HUGE!
"This is your house?" She asked in a whisper. James looked at her and smiled.
"The Potter Manor Milady." He said offering his arm to her. She took it, not prying her eyes away from the manor. They stepped inside. 15 bathrooms 17 bedrooms, 8 floors, 4 kitchens, 5 living rooms, 2 libraries, 3 game rooms, a room for the indoor pool, Anthony's office and Rachel's office.
"Holy Mother of Quidditch," Lily said.
"Actually Father because it was a man who- what?" Sirius asked as Lily glared at him.
"James, go show Lily her room and bring her stuff with you," Mrs. Potter said.
"Which room is hers?" he asked. She gave him a look,
"Which room do you want her to have?" James smirked and opened his mouth when Mrs. Potter interrupted him, " Not your room."
"Right. Come on Lily, let's go." He picked up Lily's things and started walking up the stairs with Lily trailing behind him, staring in awe at all the walls, with paintings, some moving, others not. One decided to talk,
"James who is that?" The elderly painting said, not in a kind voice.
"No one, go away." James said, obviously not liking this man.
"She doesn't look like no one. Do you actually have a girlfriend? Good job son, she's-,"
"Shut up Uncle Chuck." (A/N: Haha doesn't that name make you laugh? Chuck Potter sniggers)
They kept walking but Lily couldn't help but thinking about James's Uncle Chuck (A/N: Snigger) She- she was what? Pretty. Don't make her laugh. Big? No she was pretty thin no that she-Ew! Big! Oh Merlin.
Lily subconsciously looked down. She may be big but she covered herself up right? Lily was shy. She never really liked to wear any tight clothes; her favorite colors to wear were red, green and black. She rarely wore skirts. Or shorts for that matter. Always loose pants or capris. Why DID James like her? She wasn't like any of the girls in school. Oh yeah…that was the reason…
"Here we are. Next to Sirius and across from me." James announced. He opened the door and she gasped. It was a beautiful lilac color with a canopy bed. A huge bathroom was attached to her room, which she loved.
"Do you like it?" They hadn't even walked into the room and Lily already knew she loved it. She looked at him like he was nuts and he laughed, "Okay, just asking."
Lily smiled and jumped into James's arms, hugging him tightly, "This is going to be the best Christmas ever."
"You could say that again," James chuckled.
"This is go-," but James's lips pressing firmly against hers cut Lily off. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he rested his large hands on her hips and pushed her up against the wall. The only thing holding her up was James's body, which was giving her no room to breathe. I mean, don't get her wrong, she wasn't complaining…
"Oi! Keep it PG people." They ignored whoever was talking and kept snogging. Lily thought it was Sirius. James, however, knew who it was, and make a noise of annoyance, then a noise of pleasure. (A/N: Oh la la I know ; ) "Fine just ignore the Parental Unit."
James broke off and said, irritated,
"Dad, what do you want?" Lily's eyes widened. James took a step back, letting Lily slide back down to the ground till her feet hit the floor, all the while, fixing her hair. She stood on her tippy-toes, as James turned around, to get a good look at Mr. Potter who was trying very hard not to laugh.
"No need to look so frightened honey, it's just me. And, James, next time it'd be a good idea to actually go in the room because if you wanted to, you know, on the floor it'd be kinda-,"
"Dad please stop talking, you're embarrassing Lily." James stated, half smiling, putting an arm around Lily's shoulder's whose face was beat red.
"Oh, right, Sorry love," Mr. Potter said, waving a good-bye and walked away. James gave a red Lily a smile and guided her to his back yard, which was acres long.
They went into the garden to find Sirius, on all fours, chasing a squirrel (A/N: Human form)
"Holy Merlin," Lily muttered while James was rolling on the floor, laughing.
A/N: Sorry about the wait guys, review please!
