*Swimming and other events
"Those fit OK Sirius?" James asked through the door.
"Yeah, thanks." Sirius was wearing some of James' swimming trunks so he could go swimming.
"Almost ready Lily?" James went to the other side of the hallway to check on Lily.
"Give me a second. Could you come in and help me real quick James?" James couldn't imagine why Lily needed help putting a swimsuit on. James grinned evilly and then replied.
"Coming." James pushed over the door and saw a blushing Lily.
"What's up Tiger?" Lily turned even redder and then began to explain why she needed James' help.
"Um, well, you see, the strings kind of.and." Lily mumbled. James understood what Lily needed help with though. She had on a two-piece bikini that needed to be tied around the neck and under her arms. Lily felt grateful that James wasn't making that big of a deal about it. She didn't even want to think about the things Sirius might be doing to her if she had asked him to tie her swimsuit.
"Is that too tight?" James asked, concerned.
"Fine thanks. Can you tie the other one too?" Lily never would have believed you if you had told her 4 years ago that she would be staying at James Potters' house with his best friend Sirius. She probably would have threatened to punch you if you had told her that James would also be "helping" her put a swimsuit out. While James finished tying Lily's bathing suit, he realized the swimsuit she had on was probably about the same as the underwear she wore under her close every day. James shook this thought of his head, embarrassed that he had been thinking and feeling this way about his best friend lately.
"Thanks James, you're a great friend." Lily turned around and smiled at James. He told her to turn around one last time. Lily wondered why, and soon found out.
"I'm just double-checking that your top won't fall off if someone, someone like Sirius we'll say, pulls on the strings they won't come undone." James explained. Lily smiled in appreciation. "There, all set." Lily quickly pecked James on the cheek and thanked him again. She then wrapped a towel around her slender waist and walked out into the hallway leaving a bewildered James behind.
"Sirius, you ready?"
"Yup!" Sirius came out of his room. Lily couldn't help but snicker at the swim trunks he had chosen to wear. They had polka-dotted parrots all over them.
"Where did you get those?" Lily asked curiously.
"James," he stated plainly. James was know in the hallway and began blushing, causing Sirius and lily to laugh even more. Eventually, all three of them were on the floor doubled-up with laughter. Sirius was pounding his fist on the floor like a lunatic. The laughter seemed to cease every few seconds, but then they would look at each other and start to laugh again. The giggles died down after awhile.
"Let's go then guys." James said, still clutching his stomach from laughing so hard. James led the way to his swimming pool with Lily and Sirius on his tail. Once they reached the pool, James put his towel down and jumped in. Lily followed suit. Sirius just stood there with a confused look.
"What do I do?"
"Jump in!" James and Lily yelled in unison.
"Oh." Sirius mouthed, right before jumping in. "It's cold." James didn't pay much attention and said, "let's go off the diving board!
"Diving board?" Sirius asked.
"Follow us." Lily told him. The three got out of the pool. James got on the diving board and did a simple, yet graceful dive. Lily told Sirius how to do a cannonball. Sirius jumped off and did a cannonball, leaving a humongous splash.
"That was great Sirius! Now watch this!" James and Sirius watched their female friend do something awesome.
"Suicide squirrel!" She yelled before jumping. James and Sirius just watched in awe. Lily jumped into the air and grabbed her ankles behind her. It looked like she was going to belly-flop until she somehow managed to push her head forward into a dive. The boys didn't see Lily's head come out of the water. They began getting worried after a few seconds.
"Where is she?" James worriedly asked Sirius. Sirius saw Lily slowly sneaking up underwater behind James.
"I don't know." Sirius stalled for time.
"Right here!" Lily encircled her legs around James' waist and threw her arms around his neck. "Piggy ride!" She said playfully. James and Lily paraded around the pool with Sirius close behind. They did various other things in the pool that day, but eventually had to get out.
"Dinner time!" Mrs. Potter announced. Lily got out of the pool while James and Sirius splashed each other with water for a little longer. For the first time all day, James and Sirius got a full view of Lily with her bikini on. Lily flipped her hair over and began wrenching the water out of it. James and Sirius looked at her open-mouthedly.
"Ouch." Sirius finally said quietly. James still couldn't find his vocal chords to say anything. What could he say? Lily looked good in a bathing suit. They tore their gazes away as Lily lifted her head up.
"What's the matter guys? You got quiet all of a sudden."
"Nothing." The said calmly. Lily gave them a I-don't-believe-you look before saying, "I believe you." She then stood by the edge of the pool waiting for her male friends to get out of the pool. "I'm hungry guys. I'm going to count to ten and if you're not out of the water, I'll make sure you never have kids." Lily turned her back and began counting. "1..2..." Little did she know James and Sirius were quickly scheming. Sirius had gotten out of the pool and was standing behind Lily. "5...6..." Sirius counted three of his fingers and then grabbed Lily around the waist.
"Letme go Sirius!" She yelled.
"Maybe. Maybe not!" He said before throwing Lily into James' arms. James then began to tickle her ribs,
"Stop.. James." she said between laughter. Then all of a sudden there was an "Ouch!" heard.
"What's wrong Lily?" James asked. He was still holding Lily in his arms.
"Nothing. You just poked my scar, that's all."
"I love scars! Let me see!" Sirius said excitedly. He got back into the water. "Can you hold her flat on her back so I can see it clearer?" Lily rolled her eyes and tried to escape from James' sturdy arms.
"Sure." James stated simply. He was able to easily pull Lily back into his arms and lay her flat on her back on top of the water. He was supporting her with his hands underneath her back. Lily was just thinking how warm James' hands felt when her thoughts were interrupted by Sirius.
"That's awesome! Did you notice the shape James?" Lily thought she was going to die. Sirius and James were staring at her stomach. How embarrassing.
"It's a lightning bolt!" James exclaimed. He realized he was still supporting Lily. "Sorry Lily, I should probably let you go now."
"That would be nice." Lily said jokingly. "I'm still hungry ya know." She shot James and Sirius death glares. They quickly put her down and got out of the water. Lily wrapped her flimsy towel around her slender waist once again. "I'll be inside helping your mom set the table. Don't be long." Lily then walked back to the house and into the kitchen. Little did she know that James and Sirius had been watching her hips sway with every step she took into the house. When Lily was out of earshot, Sirius whistled.
"Did you know she looked like that?"
"Actually." James whispered, afraid that she could still hear them. "I told you this summer that I thought she was hot, well, sexy actually. I just didn't know to this extent." That confirmed Sirius' suspicions. The letter he had gotten over the summer from James was about Lily. Sirius had a weird felling that Lily felt the same way about James as James did about Lily.
"Well, we'd better get to dinner before Lily gets mad at us." Sirius said.
"Wasn't that scar awesome?" James asked.
"Yeah, it was." Sirius thought his friend might have liked the scar so much because of its location, just millimeters above Lily's bikini line. They walked back to the house in silence.
"There you are! Finally. May the feast begin!" Lily said. James and Sirius just shot each other looks and began eating. Life with Lily was good.
"Those fit OK Sirius?" James asked through the door.
"Yeah, thanks." Sirius was wearing some of James' swimming trunks so he could go swimming.
"Almost ready Lily?" James went to the other side of the hallway to check on Lily.
