*The beginning of the end*
Sun bathing in the rain
Lily woke up the next morning to Alice jumping on her bed whilst screaming "Karma's a bitch!" She soon stopped jumping and grabbed Lily's feet successfully yanking her out of bed.
"I hate you" Lily grumbled, rubbing her eyes.
"Come on Lil! It's a beautiful day and I want to catch a tan before we go back to school!"
Lily pouted from her spot on the floor "You know I don't tan, I only burn!"
"Then get some sun cream and let's go!" Lily sighed but either way grabbed a green bikini top and matching bottoms.
An hour or so later both girls were lying in Alice's garden catching the sun. Alice opened her eyes "So Lil, who are you gunna try to get with when we go back?"
"Hmm, not sure. Guess we'll wait and see when we get back"
"Good, coz you need a date for the first Hogsmede trip or it's just pathetic!"
Lily raised an eyebrow "You didn't get a date last year"
"Shh! That was a bad moment in my life! Anyway this year I've got Frank!"
Lily laughed "Okay, you officially sound like Jess!"
Alice gasped in fake shock "How dare you! I never want to sound like that slut!"
"Who's a slut?" Lily's head snapped around to see James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all walking across Alice's garden. Were they everywhere?
"What are you doing here?" Lily spat whilst sitting up, Alice hit her arm and mouthed 'be nice' to which Lily rolled her eyes.
James came and sat next to her, he smirked, she glared, he raised his eyebrows, she glared, he ruffled his hair, she still glared.
"What are you doing here?" she asked slowly as though speaking to a child.
"My mum was coming over, so we decided to come too…nice bikini" he smirked. Lily slapped his arm, it was only after she didn't did she realise the action was almost playful. She mentally cursed herself when he raised his eyebrows. She turned away from him and looked at Remus, she smiled "Hey, how's your summer going?"
"Alright" he said plonking himself on the grass "Bit boring at first but more fun now"
"Hear that Prongs!" Sirius said
"I believe I did!" James replied
"Moony just called us fun!"
"First time ever!"
"I think I stand corrected, you're both idiots" Remus drawled,
Alice laughed "Too true!"
"So –" Sirius said as he sat down on the grass "what are you two up to?"
"Flying a broom, what do you think?" Alice said sarcastically.
Sirius laughed "Evans! On a broom! Now that I would pay to see!"
Alice snorted "It's the funniest thing I've ever –" Lily slapped her arm "– what was that for!"
"Don't even go into that story!"
"I have to admit, now I'm curious" Remus said.
"Yeah" said Peter "What's so funny?"
"It's not funny…in fact it's a really boring story" Lily said quickly.
"She's lying" Alice stated "It's a really, really funny story"
"So…tell us" James said. Alice laughed and shook her head.
"Please!" Sirius begged, grabbing hold of Alice arm and shaking her slightly "I need to know! It's life and death"
Lily laughed at his strange behaviour; she didn't notice James watching her laugh at Sirius. James had never felt more jealous of Sirius before; he made Lily laugh something James tried so hard to do.
So for the next hour or so the six teens sat around and just relaxed. Lily pretended as though James wasn't even there, and only addressed James when necessary. She didn't notice how much this hurt him.
"Look a flying bird!" Sirius suddenly cried, pointing at an owl that was flying above them.
"Pads, anyone ever tell you it's better to keep quite and people think you're stupid than open your mouth and prove it" Peter said, then he stood and ran before Sirius could work out what he said. Lily watched as understanding crossed Sirius' features.
"OI," he yelled and chased after Peter full pelt. The other four laughed as they watched Sirius trailing Peter into the distance, who knew Peter could run that fast?
Lily pulled her hair into a high ponytail "Holy cow, its hot!" she said
"Why would a cow be holy?" James asked, sounding confused.
Lily turned to look at him "It's a Muggle saying, kinda like when wizards say 'Merlin' Muggles say 'holy cow'"
"But Merlin makes more sense"
"But Muggles don't think Merlin was really magic"
"And they think cows are holy?" he raised his eyebrows
Lily laughed, throwing her head back "Touché"
"So…you guys want ice-cream?" Alice asked.
"Cookie Dough" Lily and James said at exactly the same time, Lily looked at him and frowned.
"Do you need any help?" Remus asked Alice, not wanting to be left alone with James and Lily.
"That would be great, thanks…see you guys in a minute" both Remus and Alice stood and began walking back to Alice's.
"So…" James started "Wunna go out with me?" he smirked. The messy haired boy mentally cursed himself, why was that the only thing that ever came out of his mouth whenever Lily was around?
"The only person I think would be a worse date than you is Vernon Dursley" she answered.
He punched the air in celebration "Yes, I'm better than someone!" he cheered
"To be fair, being better than Vernon is saying much"
He frowned "Who is this Dursley guy, anyway?"
"My sister's disgusting boyfriend"
"You have a sister?" he asked in shook, he really knew hardly anything about her.
She nodded "Yeah, but she hates me. We used to be really good friends but…" why was she telling him this? He wasn't her friend…hell she didn't even like him!
"What happened?" she looked into his hazel eyes, and she felt she could talk to. She didn't know why but she knew she could trust him…but she didn't want James Potter to know her inner most feelings. So se gave him the shorter sweeter version of the story.
"I became a freak in her eyes"
"A freak?"
"A witch, she doesn't think that its normal and she hates the fact that I can do 'freaky things' like magic. She just hates me for being different"
"Sounds like she's jealous" James said, staring into her deep green eyes, so full of pain at the though of her sister. He knew that her sister hurt Lily deeper than she let on.
Lily laughed without humour "Yeah, that's the reason" Lily said sarcastically "So, how about you? Got any siblings?"
"Not by blood. But the Marauders are my brothers more than if they were blood." Lily had never heard hi talk with so much passion a he did when he spoke about the Marauders…his brothers.
"That must be nice, having the whole house to yourself, though"
"To myself? Nah, Sirius lives with us. Remus practically does too and Peter just comes over almost everyday"
Lily laughed, James ripped some grass off the floor and threw it at her "Do not laugh at me, Evans" he smiled.
She threw some back and soon they were laughing and throwing grass. They were having so much fun Lily almost forgot she hated him…almost.
This was a completely different James Potter to what she was used to, this James seemed…nice.
Lily felt a drop of water hit her face, then another, and another, and another. The clear blue sky that had covered the grass earlier that day was now covered in grey clouds. The heavens opened and the rain fell.
Lily stood laughing; she began to turn in circles the rain what drenching her skin. James watched her laughing, until he too began to spin around.
His normal messy black hair was plastered to his forehead, his glasses fogged up and his clothes sticking to him. But he had never been more happy…he was dancing in the rain with Lily freaking Evans. He could have laughed aloud he was so happy.
Suddenly she stopped dancing and just looks at him "What?" he asked, he too had stopped spinning.
Lily's hair was stuck to her face, her lips slightly blue as she still only wore a bikini and as she looked up at James with her big green eyes, he had never wanted to kiss her more in his life.
But then he had to go and ruin it.
"You look really hot in a wet bikini, Evans" he told her.
She took a step, her eyes held fiery fury. "God, Potter!" she spat "I thought, for once in your life, you were alright! But you have to ruin it by being the prick! You are such an arse! Grow up!" she screamed before turning and storming back to Alice's house.
You know you wunna review! :P xxx
