Chapter 1. Traveling with Muggles.
A/N: Review plz!!!! I really need to know if you like it?!!?
"Are we going by the Muggle way or Floo Powder?" asked Lily.
"What is the Muggle way?" asked James.
"Flying." answered Lily.
"By broomstick?" asked James.
"Of course not! By plane, you idiot!"
"What's a plane?"
"Why don't you just tell me which way you want."
"I've never tried muggle way before..... is it comfortable?"
"I think it's not bad."
"Then that's the one I want.
"Can your parents manage to get muggle bank notes?"
"I think so. Yours will help me buy the tickets?"
"Yup. I think the flight will be within these 2 weeks. By the way, when did you get a phone?"
"This? Arthur's father gave it to my father and we are learning to use it! I need to go now, chat later! See ya!"
"Okay. See ya then!"
*****************
Lily is a witch. She and James are going to Hong Kong as an exchange student. They were at first boy and girlfriends but in the second year they broke up. Lily was expecting James to come over by Floo powder. Lily's family are muggles and it wasn't allowed to use Floo powder network. But as James' father is working in the Minister of Magic, they get to connect their fireplace for the day.
"Really, you're lucky that I have the sense to ask you to come over first! Where did you get these?" asked Lily, looking at James' skirt in disgust. "A white skirt with red hearts all over it?"
"Hey I asked Sirius and he asked Felicity and she went shopping for me. She used up all the money that I gave her! These are what she bought." he opened a suitcase. Lily squeaked in laughter.
"Felicity got you nicely. A baby pink tube top? Lime tights? A Mickey Mouse Sweater? How are you suppose to wear this?" asked Lily as she held up baby bonnet and a set of doll clothing.
"I dunno. I thought she just bought the wrong size or I was suppose to wear it in some kind of way." said James with a shrug. Lily wondered if she should let James walk around like that, but she decided to against it. She didn't want any of her neighbors to see a weirdo walking and talking with her.
"You want to wear like this to the airport or you want me to help you over with these." said Lily, holding up a wear of high heels.
"Just let me walk out there like a normal old muggle." said James. Lily sighed.
"I'm so sorry, Felicity. You don't want James being sent to the hospital, do you?" said Lily to herself as she pushed James into her mother's room.
"Mom? I think we need to go out to buy something as James needs to get something before the flight." called Lily.
"What? I think he just got enough.... " Miss Evans said. Then she stopped.
"Lily, why is James wearing a skirt?"
"He doesn't know what to wear. I think we should go out and buy something decent for him."
"Well, you think your father would drive him? I need you to pack up your things again. Petunia said she saw spiders and frogs and all kinds of insects in your bag. She accidentally let them all out as she screamed and drop the glass bottles."
"Just like Petunia to poke in my things!" said Lily in a moan. "I thought she would be scared of insects...." she muttered to herself and walked back into her room.
"Er.... Miss Evans?" said James.
"Oh, I almost forgot. George?"
"Yes darling?" answered Mr. Evans in his studies.
"Poor James need some clothes. Would you go out and help him to buy some clothes."
"No problem." he came out of his room and when he saw James he was shocked.
"This isn't the latest fashion, is it?" asked Mr. Evans in alarm.
"No, no, of course not." said Miss. Evans with a laugh. "Just help James out, would you?"
"Okay. Er... James? Would you wait in the living room? I think I'll need to pick something for you to wear to go out first." said Mr. Evans, hiding a laugh. James nodded furiously. What had Felicity done to him!!??
*************
"Wow, Dad, I got to hand it to you. You did a good job." said Lily. "This is way better than wearing a shocking pink blouse and a white skirt with red hearts." James glared at her. He was a formal suit with a red tie.
"Finally you got to be a normal muggle, James." said Lily, laughing. James glared at her.
"So, our perfect muggle and witch, what do we need to do now?" he said sarcastically.
"Not much. We need to eat our dinner and pack up a small bag, then we will need to go to sleep. We need to wake up at about 5:00 am tomorrow."
"5 o'clock???" cried James. "You want to kill me? I can't wake up that early!"
"Oh yes, you can." said Lily mischievously. James looked at Lily's luggage. There were 3 big ones and 2 small.
"Hmm.... you want to have one of my bags?" asked James. Lily looked at hers, and looked at James'.
"How come you just need to bring so little? Only one backpack?" asked Lily.
"Yup." said James. He opened his bag and got out another bag. "Here, use this so you don't need to bother to hold so much luggage!"
Lily took the bag and peep inside. There were many tiny drawers and wardrobes.
"You put your things in bag and they will immediately shrink and will be put inside the drawers. As for your clothes, if you fold it, it will end up in drawers. If you don't fold it, it will be hang inside the wardrobes." explained James.
"Why didn't you tell me that you have these kind of bags?" said Lily, busily unpacking her stuff.
"You didn't ask." said James, shrugging.
******************
A few hours later......
"Wake up, James!!!" Lily right into his ear.
"5 minutes more....." he murmured. Lily went out the room and came back.
"What the...." there were tiny drops of icy water falling down on his face and neck. He slightly saw Lily holding a bowl of water. She was dipping her hands in the bowl.
"Don't you dare!" threatened James.
"Why don't I just pour the whole bowl on your head? Slowly......." said Lily in a slow and sweet way, which threatened James more than he did to her.
"I'm up, okay?" he cried. He got up and... *splash*
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR???" hollered James and shivered.
"Don't want to see a good bowl of icy water go waste, do you?" she asked sweetly.
******************
"Why there is so little to eat up here?" cried James. He had been grumbling all the trip and the passengers kept staring at him and Lily. Lily tried to stop him from opening his mouth but failed.
"What do you think? The food could magically appear?" said the business guy behind him.
"Of course they do! WHA......" Lily bit James' hand.
"Nice going." said the woman next to the business guy.
"What did you do that for?" he roared.
"Just to remind you that we are in an airplane. With. Muggles." said Lily in a dangerous tone. "You don't want everyone here to think you are abnormal, do you?"
"Okay. I should have chosen broom flying." muttered James, looking out of the window.
"We're almost there. Only two to three hours left." said Lily, looking at her watch.
"How do you suppose am I going to survive in here?" said James with a sigh.
"I know. We can play chess!" cried Lily and quickly open her bag to get it.
"Wizard chess?" asked James hopefully.
"No, not exactly. But very similar. You need to use your hands only. The chess can't move themselves and you need to pick them up." said Lily as she got out her chess.
"Okay, I'm ready." said James, stretching his hands.
