Lily Evans loved baking when she had nothing better to do which wasn't often. Her free time often consisted of visiting her friends, Marlene and Dorcas, who worked nearby at St. Mungos. But today was a very busy day at the wizarding hospital. It was so busy that she was told that her friends needed to take a rain check on their lunch date.

This was alright with Lily because that gave her the time she needed to pull out her newest cake recipe. She'd been meaning to bake this cake for sometime now. Ever since she'd seen the handsome dark-haired man looking at apartment 3B which was right next door to hers.

"I hope he likes chocolate cake," she whispered to herself as she gathered her cake ingredients. She really did feel bad that she didn't start this one before now. She usually had the cakes ready to go when her new neighbors would start moving in.

"Don't scratch the floors, Peter," she heard her new neighbors voice, a handsome rugged voice that sent chills down her spine.

She hoped that whoever Peter was, he was listening to his friend. The landlord didn't look kindly on dings or anything breaking in his building. She remembers not to fondly how Mr. Riddle reacted to being asked to find a plumber for her kitchen sink. She can still hear the exasperated sigh and mutter of "Kids nowadays don't know the honesty of a hard days work," as he shuffled off to comply and find a plumber.

Laughing to herself as she got the baking tins and bowls down from the cabinet she set to work on baking the cakes. She walked over and preheated the oven to a perfect 350 degrees. Going to her recipe she looked over it.

"Oh no," Lily sighed. The first instruction told her not only to preheat the oven but also to grease the pans with a spray of sorts. "I hope butter will work too." She walked over to the fridge and pulled out a stick of butter.

Walking back over to the pans she picked one up and peeling back the wrapper she started to rub the butter on the pan gently. "That should work," she whispered to herself as she lightly sprinkled a coating of flour over the butter on the pan.

She then put the two cups of flour, two cups of sugar, a little cocoa powder, a couple of teaspoons of baking powder, a teaspoon and a half of baking soda, some salt, and bit of espresso powder into a bowl. Reading the recipe to make sure she had gotten the right ingredients in the right bowl, she began to mix them together. She mixed and she mixed until it looked the right consistency of chocolaty yumminess in powder form.

"Now we gather our wet ingredients," she said heading over to the fridge to get the buttermilk she'd gotten specifically for the cake, and eggs. "This is going to be my best cake yet. I really hope that he likes it."

Instead of adding the milk, oil, eggs, and vanila one at a time like her mother had taught her to, Lily put them all in together hoping to save time. She wanted to get this cake finished before the new neighbor finished moving his stuff in. He didn't seem to be slowing down any which meant she had to cut corners and hope everything was done right.

Picking up the electric mixer she placed it in her bowl of ingredients and turned it on. The whir of the mixer cover the sounds of her cursing as the flour and egg goop flew up into her face. Quickly turning the mixer off she removed it from the bowl.

"Thankfully that didn't send all of the mixture flying," she said, wiping her face off with a towel, her green eyes sparkling with mirth. "Let's try this again with less mess this time."

She mixed and she mixed and she mixed some more. She mixed until the ingredients were well combined and the batter looked like she knew it should. She looked at the recipe one more time to make sure she'd done everything and saw there was one more step but it didn't make sense to her. It said she needed to stir in one cup of boiling water but it didn't say why. So she decided to leave that step out of the process and just finish up.

Once the cake batter was in the pans and the pans were in the ovens. She started in one her famous buttercream icing. She'd been making it since she was able to first help her mother bake and it was one of her favorite things to make. Especially during those younger days when she was allowed to lick the spoon once the baking was done.

She must not have been paying close attention to the time because she started to smell something a bit off coming from the oven. She looked up to make sure she wasn't burning the cake when she noticed her timer had gone off about three minutes ago.

"Don't panic," she told herself. "It could be alright."

She walked over to the oven and opened the door. She silently thanked her lucky stars, Merlin, and anyone else she could think to thank. The cake hadn't burned that much and it was done.

While the cake was cooling she went down to the row of mailboxes in the apartment interior and checked her mail. She also had ulterior motives for doing this too. She wanted to make sure that the new neighbor and his friends weren't already done moving his stuff into the apartment next door too.

"Almost," the rugged voice called from the doorway.

Lily gave a yelp and raced back up the stairs. She knew she should give the cake some more time to rest but she didn't have time for that. She quickly plated it up scraping off the far too burned parts and started to ice the cake. Which was a lot harder than she thought it would be because the cake was still slightly warm.

Looking over her masterpiece she sighed. It looked like a three year old had thrown it together and not a twenty some year old. But she had no other choice but to present her mess of a cake. She hadn't missed the chance to meet a new neighbor yet and she wasn't going to miss out with this one.

Gathering her courage and the cake, she walked out the door. Turning towards the open apartment door next to hers, she raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Go on in," an irritated looking black haired hazel eyed man said as he pushed past her. "The git is being insufferable." He stormed off down the hall without another word to Lily.

"Hello," Lily called as she made her way into the apartment.

She looked around to find the apartment was decorated in a sort of bohemian chic sort of way. Something she would never have thought someone as outdoorsy as this new neighbor would decorate his place like.

"Hello," she called yet again when she got no answer. "Is anyone here? Your friend told me to come that…"

"I was acting like an insufferable git, I heard," the ruggedly handsome voice said from the doorway of one of the rooms.

Lily turned towards the doorway. Her eyes widened at what she found standing there. The man was the most handsome person she'd ever seen. Tall, dark-haired, grey-eyed. She didn't even mind that his hair was almost down to his shoulders. It looked good on him.

"I'm sorry for staring," Lily said, holding out the cake. "I'm your new neighbor, Lily Evans, from next door." She nodded towards the right where her apartment was.

"I'm Sirius," the man said with a smile that lit his grey eyes up. "Sirius Black. The insufferable git you met on your way in was my roommate James Potter." He noticed the cake in her hands for the time. "Is that for me?"

Lily nodded speechlessly.

"Would you care to share a piece?" He nodded to the kitchen. "I've got some nice peanut butter ice cream that would go great with that."

"That sounds amazing," Lily said. She followed Sirius into the kitchen and helped him get down some plates and bowls for the ice cream.

As she bit into the first bite of the cake, she couldn't help but think this was her best cake day yet.

I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of this collection of Meet Cutes as much as I enjoyed writing it.
