I turned my head slightly and saw that he looked well extremely handsome... Don't tell him I said that.

He had on a black Tuxedo, with black dress shoes, and a blue tie with a black bowtie. Only James Potter would wear a black bowtie to dinner with me. I liked it, also only James could pull it off. With his messy brownish blond hair and round glasses, he looked plain amazing. Uh, can't wait to prove him wrong with Petunia... yeah that's right...proving...him...wrong...

I got up and put my book in my bag and got up, going around the armchair.

James' eyes immediately widened as I turned the around the armchair...

"Uh, Hi?" I said in more of a question tone rather than a salutation

I waved a hand in front of James' face, trying to get him to stop staring at me!

"Uh...uh...uh... sorry" James said, snapping out of whatever Trans he was in

"Well I think..." I started but was instantly cut off

"You look stunning" James said incredibly nervous

I immediately flushed! I was completely flustered!

"Thank you, you don't look to bad yourself" I managed

I was taken completely aback by all of this

After I got over my shock, I smiled and he gave me a quirky smile back... I don't know why, I just loved the smile... AH NO... NO... AH!

Suddenly, Sirius came bursting through the door, looked at me, his eyebrows immediately rose, and then went to James, and whispered something in his ear. James then nodded and Sirius left the room.

I smirked and shook my head, only Sirius Black.

James stuck out his hand and said:

"After you?"

I nodded, and I walked in front of James, then James and I went down to the Entrance Hall, where we then went down the path that led to the gates of Hogwarts, where we were let out and onto our way to Hogsmede, so we could apparate.

We stood in front of "The Three Broomsticks".

James stuck out his hand, which was shaking and I took it...thinking about where to go, and suddenly felt the twisting sensation in the pit of my stomach, as we apparated... together.

We ended up in the front of my house, on the sidewalk...

"I like it" James said smiling at my house.

"Glad you approve" I said smirking

"Well! I was just saying! I like it..." He said

I shook my head while laughing and rolling my eyes

He pouted

"Why are you pouting?" I asked, exasperated

"Let's go inside!" James said and I led the way up to my home.

I opened the door, not bothering to knock, and took a deep breath...

"It'll be okay, I want be arrogant and stupid..." James whispered

"That's not what I'm scared of..." I whispered back, James gave me a puzzled look before we both walked into my house.

My dad walked right past me... backed up and then turned... grinning widely!

Giving me a huge hug!

"Hi Daddy!" I said really excited!

"I've missed you so much!" He yelled

"I've been gone for two weeks!" I yelled

"Yeah, well your sister's been here for two weeks..." My dad said

"Daddy! You can't say that!" I said

"Yeah well I just did! I swear sweetheart, after getting engaged... she's become even more..." My dad started to say

"Dad!" I shouted

"Who's your friend?" My dad suddenly asked

"Dad, this is James Potter" I said extremely nervous

"I thought you hated him!" My dad (whose name is David) said

"Women" James said quietly rolling his eyes Well sir, I probably don't want to know what she has told you about me, but I'd like to say, I don't think she despises me, and well that's a step up from last year" James started

My father actually threw his head back and started laughing incredibly hard, along with James.

"Well sir, I probably don't want to know what she has told you about me, but I'd like to say, I don't think she despises me, and well that's a step up from last year" James started

"Well it's nice to meet you James, I'd say were going to get along just nicely" He said as he shook James' hand, "Nice grip!" He also said and James smiled

My father never takes to any guy I've brought come... Why does he take to the one that I'm not literally in a relationship with?

I gave him a bitter sweet smile before turning to James who looked nervous

"Come in, and join the hectic household of the Evans." My Dad said

We went into the kitchen and found my mother unloading the dishwasher frantically.

James took out his wand...

I smiled... knowing James was already a full wizard

"Kiss-up" I mumbled, before James flicked his wand, and everything went where it needed to go...

My mother instantly looked up at me and gave me a confused look! I immediately pointed to James, as he then stopped, and then put his wand back into his Tuxedo's pocket.

My mother brightened and smiled and basically ran over to us

"Hi Lily!" She said hugging me and I hugged her back

"Hi mom!" I said back

"Don't you just look stunning?" She said

"Thanks mom!" I said back

"And whose this?" She squealed

"James Potter" James said EXTREMELY nervously and stuck his hand out almost instantly

"Hi!" My mother (Jane) yelled and hugged him instead, "I was wondering when Lily was going to bring you home... you could just tell that the way she talks about you..."

"MOM!" I said smirking, "I don't like him!" I said

My mother gave me a questioning look

"I brought him to prove a point" I said with a crude smile, laughing whole-heartedly

"What point?" She asked

"I'll tell you later..." I said

"Well okay! So James? Ever been to this side of England?" My mother asked... and she likes him too...great

"No actually I haven't, I like it though!" He said enthusiastically

"Oh Lily! He's cute! Why did you ever hate him?" My mother asked right in front of him

"Mom!" I said laughing, "Okay! I don't hate him! Where's Petunia?" I asked all of us laughing at my awkward change of subject

"Well Petunia's fiancé is coming over in whoah! One minute, and when he says he'll be here... he'll be here! You and James better go up to your room and set up! I'll call you down when Petunia gets here, which should be in about twenty-five minutes to introduce you! Now shoo! He'll be here any minute!" My mother said

I took James by the hand and dragged him up the stairs, and to my bedroom, closing the door behind me.

My room was just the way I left it, my room is blue, and with my bed against the wall, the portrait of New York City, Times Square, above my bed, which is on my back wall, next to my lower window. My soccer trophies on my shelves surrounding (two on one side and two on the other one over the other and one over the other), around my bureau, with a mirror and my desk under my taller window to the right of my bookshelf which is next to my bed. The closet being on the same wall as more door!

"I like your room" James said honestly

"Thank you" I smiled closing the door

We were staying over my house because of the late night dinner and such, James couldn't stay in our guest room because well that's where Vernon was staying... Not wanting to be in my sister's room... something about him having a weird thing about sleeping in the same bed until the wedding... anyways... James was in my room, and my parents trusted me.

"James?" I asked

"Yes?" He said

"Would you find conjuring up another bed?" I asked

He smiled

"Not a problem for this full wizard here" He mocked me!

He conjured up another bed parallel to mine

"Thank you" I said

"Bathroom?" I asked looking at the one bathroom that my sister and I had to share

James used an undetectable extension charm to extend my bedroom, adding another bathroom (that doesn't show up when you look from the outside), adding a toilet, two sinks on one long cabinet, and a shower, along with a linen closet.

"Thank you" I said quietly

"You're very welcome" James said softly

"So" I said sitting down on my bed, "What do you want to do?" I asked

"Wow. Locked in a room with Lily Evans... What to do?" James asked sitting down on his new bed

"Twenty Questions?" I asked simply smiling

"Okay you ask first" James said

"Fine" I grumbled, "Do you have any siblings?"

"Nope" James said

"Really? Hmm" I said

"What?" James asked

"I always imagined you with a little sister..." I said

And James' eyebrows rose

"I had a little sister" James said

"Had?...I'm so sorry! I had no idea..." I started rambling on

"Nice guess, its okay" James said

"What was her name?" I asked

"Kelly" James said with a twinkle in his eyes

"How?" I asked again

"It was in the summer, I was fifteen, and I was eating dinner with my mum and dad and their aurors you see, and they just invaded a muggle home that was about to be destroyed along with the family and such, but mum and dad stopped them, and Kelly, well Kelly was just an amazing person, one-of-a-kind, she was smart and funny and beautiful and she just would light up a room when she walked into it. She went upstairs to get something, and then Voldemort himself showed up at the door, completely destroying it. My mom and dad knocked the table over, telling me to get upstairs and get Kelly, but before I could she came running down the stairs extremely excited... then... then... he murdered her." James said getting lost in thought.

James took a deep breath.

"Sorry for dumping that onto you" James said honestly apologetic

I shook my head

"No, no it's fine, I'm sorry" I said

"She was eleven... hoping to get her Hogwarts letter" James said longingly

I had tears strolling down my faces, I couldn't help it. I ducked my head down shaking it, then just leaving it there.

James reached over and quickly wiped my tears from my cheek.

"Sorry" I said wiping the rest from my anti-smudge face

"It's okay" He said

"Wish I could have met her" I said honestly

"She knew of you" James said in a matter-of-fact tone

"Really?" I asked surprised

"Uh, yeah I uh also talked about you to her" James said completely embarrassed and I smiled

"She sounds like an incredible person" I said

"She was" James responded with, "New topic? Question number six?" James asked

I nodded

"Your turn!" I said knowing that I ask five then he asks five

"What's your favorite color?" He asked

I laughed

"Haha, it's blue, red and purple" I said

"Couldn't pick one?" He asked

"Blue" I said

"What's your favorite...?" He started to say but I cut him off

"Are all you questions going to be "What's your favorite?" etc... Ask me good questions!" I said

His eyebrows immediately rose... quickly and he pouted

"Fine! Who was your first kiss?" He asked

"Paul Thasty" I said

James nodded somewhat narrowing his eyes at the thought

"When" He asked

"End of fifth year" I said

James nodded again

Then he started to think of another question,

"Why have you hated me for the past six years" James asked

"Because you have been stupid, immature, arrogant, inconsiderate, and frankly I really just didn't like you" I said...

He looked like he was pierced by something... ouch

"You didn't let me finish... That was six years two weeks ago... I no long strongly dislike you... by the way I never really HATED you... just you annoyed me but for some reason... you don't anymore" I said whispering it really

Well now at least he knows why I've not liked him... truth is... it's just the opposite right now... but no one knows but Alice... Oh by the way, in any case you missed that, I just admitted to LIKING JAMES POTTER... I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST ADMITTED THAT NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

This is happening to fast...

James just stared at me through my internal argumentative side...

I rolled my eyes

"Continue with the questions please!" I said quickly

I sweetly smiled

"Do you really think I'm hot?" He asked referring to last night, he smirked while doing this

"I think more than that" I muttered under my breath, but apparently all is heard because he nearly choked...

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME?

I nodded

And apparently we both went into shock

"Lils?" James asked me

I swallowed

"Yes?" I asked

"Do you like..." James started

"HI PETUNIA!" I heard my mum say

I turned to James and we both caught each other's eyes for a moment before getting up and going to wait by the top of the stairs

"Lily! Come down! Your sister's here!" My mum yelled

I also heard

"You know it's very rude to yell, you could simply go up the stairs and get her" Ew... Vernon...

James and I looked at each other, before starting to walk down the stairs, but before we did so, I said to James:

"Don't say anything about our bet" I said

"Why not?" He asked

"Just don't" I asked nervously

James noticed that Lily didn't want to tell her sister either to not influence her... or disappoint her and her fiancé

James nodded and we continued to walk down that stairs, when we reached the bottom...

"Hi Tunney" I said somewhat quietly

"Hello Lils" Petunia said

"You know, nicknames are rather rude, a parent gave a child a name, why disrespect them and change it? That's like a direct hit right?" Vernon...

My jaw clenched, this was not going to be easy.

"Hello, I'm Lily" I said sweetly to Vernon and looking at him expectantly

Vernon scrunched his nose and lifted his head like suggesting he was better than me

"I'm Vernon." He said

"Nice to meet you" I said again sweetly yet a little edge added

My parents gave me a knowing look and my eyes widened, also in a knowing way

He grunted and looked at James

"And this is my, uh, friend James" I said somewhat awkwardly, I wasn't really prepared for what to call James compared to myself

"I think that it is nearly impossible for a girl and boy to be "friends", but considering you're...hm...Circumstances, I think it'd be best if you could see as many friends as you can get, due to your undermined status in the real world. You Know? Being a freak and all..." Vernon said completely disgustedly. And I thought Petunia was bad...

My lips pursed together and I gathered my surroundings, I was completely shocked, I was about to speak but it wasn't me who actually spoke:

"I'm James Potter, another current freak, pleasure to meet you Vernon?" James said in a clenched jaw, with a sarcastic yet radiant tone

My parents both smiled, he definitely lightened the mood... drawing the question right back to him.

Vernon snorted, completely insulted

"Great she's bought more of her kind, Petunia!" He said clearly insulted

Petunia looked worriedly at me and then allowed Vernon to drag her into the kitchen, then dining room

"You weren't kidding" I said to my mum

Her eyes widened and she nodded sympathetically

"What a bitter moron" James muttered under his breath in which my parents actually laughed, and then I joined along... he really did lighten up the mood

I rolled my eyes at the thought of Vernon

"We should probably get ready; the reservations are at six-thirty!" My mother said following after the couple

My dad glared at me for a while and at James for a couple of moments, then turned and followed after.

"Thanks" I said, looking up at James

"Shall we be going? James asked sticking out his arm, and I took it, smiling and he the same

We went into the kitchen

"Take two cars?" My mother asked and I smiled reassuringly

"Okay" I said, grabbing my car keys

I use my sister's old car, a Volvo; I got my license when I came for Easter a couple of months ago

My parents would go in my dad's car, another Volvo, to the restaurant. James on the other hand, looked extremely fascinated with the concept of riding in a car.

He got in on the left side and I on the right, and I put the key in the slot, and turned the key in the slot. The engine roared and James jumped backwards.

I pulled my seat belt over my lap and James copied me, unable to put the buckle into the lock. I leaned over... paused a second... and helped him buckle his seatbelt.

And then I pulled back and we went on our way to the restaurant.
