15 minutes later, Lily walked into the Customer Service Department of the Eurail. She was pretty worried, actually. All her bags containing her passport and ID were on the train . . . with Sirius and Remus. She winced, thinking about the condition her "private" garments would be in, with only them around.
"Excuse me? Could you tell me when the next train leaves for Zurich?" she asked an elderly man sitting at the counter. He peered up at her through his glasses.
"Zee next train to Zuireek leaves at eight fortee five at night," he replied, with a strong French accent. Lily went numb. She had expected it to leave immediately.
"Oh," she said, listlessly, and without saying thank you, she left.

Once she was outside, she took a deep breath of air. "Let's think this over logically," she thought. Hearing a whistle, she spun around, and instantly groaned. James Potter stood there with a happy-go-lucky grin on his face that made him look like an idiot.
"Hey, Lily, you don't have to worry, I found out all the timings for the trains. I have everything planned out, you have nothing to worry about. Nothing at all!" he gabbled, so fast that Lily didn't get a word.
She stopped, and crossed her arms. In front of her, James kept going, not realizing that she wasn't next to him anymore.
"Uh? Where'd she go?" she heard him mumble, turning around. He walked back to her.
"Look, James," she said clearly and slowly, as though she was speaking to a kid.
"Ever since I met you, something has always gone wrong. You and your sweet-as-pie friends have made my trip very pleasant. Now, I would like to reach Zurich at the right time, so I can catch the Eurail from there," she said, pausing for a while, watching him take it in.
"Okay," he said, in a carefree manner. "Okay. So let's go. I have money, so you can pick. We can either rent a car or just go by train."
"No, James. I'm going on my own. Not with you." she said, her words painfully slow and icy.
In response, he laughed. Lily was getting more heated up. All he could do was laugh??
"Look, Lil. We're both going to the same place from the same place. What's the point in going separately? Huh?" he said, putting an arm around her shoulders in a carefree manner.
"I'm going on my own, James, that's final," she said, shrugging his arm off and walking away.
"Whatever" she heard in the distance, undoubtedly James' voice.

An hour later, Lily was standing on the roadside, waving her hands at cars, waiting for a lift. No one stopped.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO JAMES!" a little tiny voice in her mind said to her. She shook her head, still waving her hand. "It's true, Lil. You would have been way better off," the voice persisted. She groaned, feeling incredibly guilty. I JUST BLEW HIM OFF LIKE A FLY!!, she realized.
"Oh well. NO use crying over spilled milk. He probably doesn't care anyway," another voice said.
She shook out of her thoughts, hearing a car stopping near her. She ran over, and then stopped, staring. Two men in police uniforms stepped out of the white and blue car.
"Uh . . . hi!" she said, uncertainly. The taller guy with a bushy moustache stared at her.
"May I zee your passport pleeese," he said, with a strong French accent. Lily gulped.
"I - uh, I mean, I missed my train, and my passport was on the train," she said, her voice unnaturally squeaky and nervous.
"Zhen you haf to gum with us," the tiny guy said, grabbing her wrist.
"But, I don't have my passport, you don't understand, I was on the Eurail, I have no choice, it was not my fault, please," she shrieked out, almost yelling. The guy tried to lead her towards the car.
"This is it. I'm dead." she thought miserably.

James Potter was whistling "Auld Man Laury" in a carefree fashion, driving his rented red convertible through the streets of Versailles.
"Too bad Lily didn't come with me," he thought to himself. "She is kinda striking."
"James, you jerk - off. Remember what happened with Martha Pecan?" he thought, the wind blowing through his hair and ruffling it.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice on the side walk. A glimpse of red hair flying flashed in front of him. He pulled over quickly and assessed the situation.
"Ok, Lily getting caught by cops for no passport," he muttered. He quickly fumbled in his own backpack and fished out his passport. He ran wildly towards the car.
"Ohhhhhh, Senorita!! Oh my darling. I missed you sooooooooo much. Senoritaaaaaaa!!" he yelled out, hugging Lily tightly and planting a huge kiss on her cheek. She looked shocked, her pretty green eyes wide open.
"Ooooooh, thank you officer (shake hand with each of them), thank you. Ohhhhhhh Senorita!!! My darling .............. I missed you!!!!!!!!!!!" he said again, practically yelling. He planed another big juicy kiss on her cheek. She looked stunned.
"Thank you officer. Moi, James Potter, I'm James Potter, this is Senorita Lily Potter, my wife. (Plant another kiss). Thank you soooooo much for finding her, officer," he said, showing them his passport.
The officers hardly looked at the passport, returned it to him, and walked back to their car, looking at James hugging Lily tightly and kissing her all over her cheeks.
"Thank you!!! Arigato . . . al kamino . . . merci . . . bon jovi . . . el sapilo . . . du rakashi . . . chow san . . ." he sang out some gibberish, watching the car pull away.
A second later, Lily pushed him away. "How dare you touch me?" she screamed at him.
Heheh . . . . that was kinda funny. Please read and review a lot, ok? This is one of my favorite parts. If you don't review, I won't put up the next part. Heheheh.....
