The Encounter
$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$
Lily woke up to the smell of fresh bread baking. She got out of bed, got dressed and went down stairs. Sasha was baking the sweetest smelling bread that Lily had ever smelled.
"Good Morning Sasha!" Lily said
"Why, Good Morning Lily!" "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah"
" Umm, I gotta go into to town to pick up something for the ministry, do want anything?"
"No it's okay Sasha."
"Okay, well eat this bread, and I will be back in a few hours, okay?"
"Okay" replied Lily.
Sasha grabbed her keys and walked out of the door. Lily sat down on a chair and cut a slice of the bread.
"Mmmmm!" This is GOOD!" Lily said
Suddenly she thought that she could put some of the bread in a basket and leave it on James's doorstep. When he comes out to get it, she'll squirt him will a water gun!
"Perfect!" thought Lily
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily was ready to put her plan into action. She found a basket and put three slices of bread in it. She loaded a water gun that she had in her trunk. Lily took the house keys that Sasha gave her yesterday, and walked out the door to the neighbor's house where an unsuspecting boy around the age of seventeen lived.
$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$
Lily carefully placed the basket down on the porch and ringed the doorbell. She quickly ran to behind the wall that hid her from James Potter's view but she could still see him. James came to the door and picked up the basket. All of a sudden Lily jumped out behind the wall and squirted the water at James.
"AHHHHHH" Yelled James.
He looked up to see who the prankster was and found out it to be none other than Lily.
"Lily!" James said while wiping water off his face.
"Why I otta a."
"Thank me for getting your lazy but off of the couch?" interrupted Lily.
"NO! I otta get you back!", and with that, James pulled out a water gun of his own and started to squirt Lily as she was squirting him.
When their water guns finally were emptied, they both sat down on the porch and caught their breaths.
"I didn't know your aunt lived right next door to us!" James said surprised.
"If you didn't know, then how did you know I was coming with a water gun?" Lily questioned.
"Oh, because I saw you coming up our steps with the water gun and I thought that I should be armed. Though, I didn't know you lived right next door!"
"Well the reason I came here was to ask you if you wanted to come to the movies or something."
Sure, I'll meet you at your house in 15 minutes okay?"
"Okay"
They both set off to their homes and got changed. Lily just came down the stairs when James rang the doorbell.
Lily opened the door and let him in.
So, James, how are we going to get there? Walking, bicycling, what?
"Umm, duh, Lil, broomstick!"
"Oh! Lily ran upstairs and got her broomstick."
They walked outside and took off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
In about 20 minutes, they arrived at the nearest Movie Theater.
They landed far from where any Muggles would see. Lily sprinkled some powder on the broomsticks so they shrank small enough to fit inside of their pockets.
They walked to the theater and saw what time the movie was at.
"Man, one hour!" Lily said. "Umm, lets go eat some lunch then."
James and Lily walked to the diner near by and picked up some food to eat. They found a park bench to sit and eat. They were sitting when Lily spotted a tall female figure approaching them.
"Hey Lily!" said a girl about Lily and James's age.
"I haven't seen you around." She said in a sappy and fake voice.
"Who this handsome guy sitting next to you? I didn't think you could find anyone this handsome to hang around with."
Lily eyes were blazing at the girl.
"Can you just go away Mindy?" Lily replied through clenched teeth.
"No, I want to know who the guy is." Mindy replied.
"His name is James and he goes to my school."
"Let James speak for himself, Lily." Mindy said, "So James, instead of hanging out with this pathetic loser, why don't you come with me to a movie, so we can get to know each other better."
"Umm, No thank you, I am here with Lily, who happens not to be a pathetic loser and I am hanging out with her." James said calmly.
"Please James?" Mindy said in the sappiest voice.
James glanced at Lily who looked like she was ready to kill. He gave her a wink. Which she understood immediately.
"So you really want to get to know me?" James said coming up to Mindy, about an inch away from her face.
"UH-HUH!" replied Mindy softly.
"Okay" He took the ketchup container and poured it all over Mindy. She screamed and started to run away.
"Wait! James yelled at the retreating figure of Mindy, "I forgot to tell you, I LOVE PRANKS!"
Lily burst out laughing.
"That was GOOD!" Lily said in between laughs. "Thanks too." Lily said stopping.
"That girl seemed to full of herself and I am the only who can be full of himself in your presence." Said James.
"No, I mean really, she used to really bother me a lot when I used to live here because I didn't have many friends here.
"No Prob" James replied. Now let's go to that movie!
$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$
Lily and James ran to the Movies. They bought the tickets and found seats inside the theater. They were going to watch "The Sixth Sense." Lily thought that it would be a perfect movie.
While watching the movie, James kept making comments on how the ghosts at Hogwarts would react if they saw this movie. Lily kept giggling. At the scariest parts, James kept talking nonsense to himself and ruined the mood of being scared.
When the movie was finally over Lily and James walked out laughing their heads off.
"James, what do you want to do now?"
"Umm, I don't know, what time is it?"
"3:00" Lily replied
"Hey, you want to head back to my house, we can send a prank to Sirius or something." James said
"Sure" Lily said
So they walked back to the clearing that they had landed in and then Lily got out the powder so she could make the broomsticks back to regular size. There wasn't enough powder left for two people.
"James, there isn't any powder left for the both of us." Lily said after sprinkling the powder on James's broom.
"Oh, I guess we can double up and then we can make yours bigger when my uncle gets home." James replied
"Okay"
James and Lily both sat on James's broomstick and then kicked off. They were both soaring through the air. James's arms were wrapped tightly around Lily's waist so she couldn't fall.
"Wow!" James thought, "I never noticed how nice it is with my arms wrapped around Lily"
Lily was thinking around the same lines, "His arms seem so perfect around me"
A little too soon for both of them, they arrived at the Potters'. Lily and James both got off the broom and entered the house. They went straight up to James's room. Lily was definitely impressed on how neat his room was. She always imagined his room to be messy.
"So what do you want to do now?" Lily asked.
"Umm, it's still hot outside, want to go for a swim?" James said
"Okay, I'll be back." Lily said as she walked to her house to change into her swimsuit.
She quickly walked back to her new house and changed into her bikini.
It was white with blue trimmings. She put a wrap on and walked back to James's house.
She opened the door and walked back up to James's room. He was already ready.
"Ready?" she asked
He turned around and was shocked at what Lily was wearing.
"Y-yeah" he said
They both walked out into the spacious backyard and jumped in.
James and Lily were racing each other in laps, when Lily finally said that she had to go.
Lily dried herself off and walked through the house to the front door.
She opened it and was about to say good bye, when a pair of soft lips touched hers. They left her lips just as quickly as they touched. James had a grin on and said, "See you later Lily."
"Bye!" she said regaining her vocal chords.
She went back to her house as in a daze, washed up and then sat on the couch grinning like a mad woman because a boy which, she had hated before, kissed her. With that kiss, she felt emotions of love come out towards James Potter.
$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$
Lily and James hung out a couple of more times before school started. Sirius came over and caused havoc for the time that he was here.
September 1st eventually came. James got a ride with Lily. They both said bye to Aunt Sasha and then dashed onto the train.
Lily kept feeling that whenever James was around her, he felt a little awkward. She kept ignoring it.
They both hopped on the train and found Sirius, Remus and Allissa in a compartment. They quickly started to catch up on what happened to each other during vacation.
They guys said that they were going to go walk around the train for a while. The girls didn't mind, they were too busy talking about the hot new wizard soloist that just came out, Magic Jackson.
Eventually the boys came back. A pretty blonde was hanging on James with a happy grin on her face. James and the blonde, whose name was Jacey, sat down and started to snog.
Lily looked up and tears started forming in her eyes. She looked away and quickly said that she had to look for someone and left the compartment without another word.
Lily ran as fast as she could to the bathroom and locked herself in there. She looked at herself in the mirror and a single tear leaked out.
"I guess it was just not meant to be" she whispered to herself and started to cry silently.
$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$**$
A/N: Stupid James, why did he go get a girlfriend? Oh, well I had to make it interesting or else it would be like all the other fics where James and Lily find their true love and then hook up. Although I do love those type of fics too( Yea! I saw Harry Potter the movie! Yea!! I'm gonna go see it again! YEA!!!
Stay tuned!
