Hi Every one!!!!!! Wow thank you u 4 all my reviews I luv u too much u no that right?
Neway on with the chap, Lily's first date with Malfoy!
Chap 4
First Date
"Ok are you ready for this?" Amel asked Lily excitedly. It was Saturday, and Lily was about to go and meet Mr Lucius Malfoy him self and she was dreading it. He was holding a ball and funnily enough a friend of Amels who worked in the witch weekly was attending and knowing Lily's situation had offered to take her. Lily had been extremely grateful.
"Yes, I'm just going to go in there and you know, play it cool." Lily said looking at her reflection in the mirror.
Her hair was straightened and fell elegantly on her porcelain like face. She had little make up but still glowered like an angel. She had the same emerald dress on, which she tried on when she first had her make-over.
"Now, Frank is going to come and pick you up in 10 minutes. He'll take you to Malfoy Manor, you'll enter looking beautiful. But remember there'll be reporters from the daily prophet every where. The Malfoys are very big names. Now make sure you get your picture taken, then I'll have a picture of you put in the Daily Prophet, this'll make Malfoy notice you ok?" Amel told her.
"Yes, ok."
"Now, Frank will be there all night. So if anything happens he'll be there, plus he'll give you a lift back here at the end. Now make sure you act like a proper lady and that includes cutting this out!" Amel said grabbing the cigarette Lily had been smoking out of her hand (Sorry to make Lily smoke but she quits soon anyway)
"I'm nervous, I only smoke when I'm nervous." Lily said fidgeting.
"Well you wont be able to be nervous if you keep smoking because you'll be dead!" Amel snapped. The doorbell rang and Lily froze. She was so nervous.
Ok, I can do this, I'm going to save my house! Ok get up and play it cool. Relax, Release and let go! Lily thought to herself. Amel had just let Frank Longbottom in, her date for the ball. Lily had seen him before. He had also been in Gryffindor at Hogwarts.
"Hi," Lily said feeling relieved, "I'm Lily." She said holding her hand out.
"Hello, Lily Evans right? Ravenclaw?" he asked shaking her hand.
"Yeah, thank you for agreeing to this." Lily said awkwardly.
"It's ok, well are we ready?" He asked holding out his arm.
"Ready as I'll ever be!" She said linking her arm through his.
Lily found herself in limo waiting to be dragged into the ball. She was having serious second thoughts about the oh so wonderful marrying game.
"Come on Lily, it's make or break time!" Frank said as he escorted her out of the vehicle.
Lily was standing in front of a large mansion that reminded her terribly of Evans Mansion. A pang of determination hit her and she stepped onto the red carpet and held her head high, and walked into the place liked she owned it with Frank on her arm. She looked around her and saw a load of Slytherins from Hogwarts.
"Look at all these people from Hogwarts." She whispered to Frank.
"What if they recognise me, the game is up!" She said frantically.
"Don't worry they wont. You look completely different." He said calmingly.
"You did!" She told him, wondering what on earth she would do if Lucius knew she was muggle born, he would never agree to marriage.
"Lily calm down, and look to the left of you," Lily looked around to her left and standing there across the hall from her was Lucius Malfoy. He was dressed in the most revolting shade of green. Lily had to admit though he did look handsome. His grey eyes were cold and steely still but when he smiled, his teeth glistened and he looked amazing.
"A drink?" A waiter asked, disturbing Lily.
"What?" Lily asked as she turned and saw a waiter holding a tray of Champaign.
"Oh yes please," Lily said taking one of the glasses. She walked over to a nearby table and sat down while Frank was off talking to some reporter somewhere.
"Hello, I don't believe we have met." Came a charming voice. Lily looked up and there was Malfoy.
"No, I don't think so, Lily Avril." Lily said holding out her hand, to him. He bent down and kissed it. Lily felt her stomach turn.
"Lucius Malfoy." He said with a twisted smile on his face.
"Yes, I know," Lily told him, faking her smile terribly.
"Who did you arrive with?" He asked her still standing looking down at her.
"Frank Longbottom, I came as his guest. He is a friend of mine." She said casually.
"I see. Your eyes, they're beautiful." He said to her in a mysterious voice. Lily was almost intrigued by at how self obsessed he was.
"Thank you, Ma....Lucius." She mentally cursed herself for almost saying Malfoy.
"Would you care to dance?" He asked her holding out his hand.
"Of course," she said weakly, taking his hand and dragging her self up to the dance floor. A slow classical song was on, that was boring into Lily's mind like a knife.
He happened to be a very good dancer and she was enjoying dancing even though she was dancing with a prat and the music was deathly.
"Ah, Lucius, how are you?" A high pitched, squeaky voice interrupted their dancing, and for a moment Lily was disappointed.
"Oh, Narcissa, I'm fine, This is Lily Avril, by the way. Lily, this is a friend of the family Narcissa." He introduced them. Narcissa gave Lily a deathly glare then promptly looked her up and down.. Lily suddenly felt very small.
"Avril, I've never heard of it." She said looking down her nose at Lily. Lily felt unwanted and very alone. She felt a lump in her throat as if she would cry, but she wouldn't give this bitch the pleasure. She knew she didn't belong there.
"Anyway Lucius your wanted over there dear." Narcissa said giving Lily a smirk.
"Ms. Avril, I must go, but how about I take you out for dinner tomorrow night? I know a nice little French place in Knockturn Ally. Its called the La bon appetite! (sorry couldn't think of nething else) Meet me there at 8, yes?" He asked her and Lily tried to bite her tongue at the jealousy on Narcissa's face. She now felt very grateful to Malfoy, even though he was a charming prat.
"That would be splendid! Meet you there." She said in an oh so false voice. He kissed her on the cheek and walked away with Narcissa.
"Well, well, well, looks like someone got a date!" Frank said coming up behind Lily.
"Yes, tomorrow, by the way Frank, who's that lady with Malfoy, Narcissa something." Lily said pointing over at there tall, slim lady.
"Oh I see you met the wicked witch of the west. Narcissa Giles, remember who went to Hogwarts with us. Everyone knows she had a crush on Malfoy."
"That Narcissa! Wow she has changed! Anyway, I think my business is done here. Ready to go?" She asked him.
"Simply marvellous idea!" He said grabbing her arm.
"So, he asked you to go to La Bon appetite with him?" Amel burst out laughing.
"Yes, and it's not funny, I'll be stuck with the useless idiot all night." Lily moaned throwing herself on the sofa in the living room.
"Well, he wont be useless if he marries you, just think about that lovely big house." Amel said sitting down next to her.
"Keep reminding me, oh and do you know Narcissa Giles?" Lily asked, pulling her hair up out of her face.
"That bitch, I should have known she would be there, she absolutely adores Malfoy, and from Hogwarts he has shown no interest in her. Why?"
"Well, when I was dancing with Malfoy, she came and interrupted and gave me so much attitude. If it wasn't for the fact I was in a well respected place I would have hit her overlarge nose." Lily mumbled. "But her face when Malfoy asked me to dinner! It was a picture. A very ugly one though."
"Ha, Anyway did you get your picture taken?" Amel asked, undoing the top of her nail varnish and proceeding to paint her nails with a shocking pink.
"On the way out. Pink?" Lily asked with distaste. Amel seemed to have everything pink.
"Of course, what other colour? Green, you slytherin wife to be." She asked with a grin on her face.
"That's it Amel Hope, you are going down." Lily said throwing a cushion at her.
"No, my nail varnish Lily!" Amel said playfully. "Right you asked for it!" Amel said and got up. Soon the pair of them were throwing cushions at each other until both of them were in fits of giggles on the floor.
"What's so funny girls?" James asked as him and Sirius walked in.
"Hi babes." Amel greeted Sirius with a usual kiss.
"Oh nothing," Lily said, straightening her self up.
"So how's the ball from hell go with the prat from hell?"
"It was fine, and I have a date tomorrow night." Lily said, trying to sound pleased but failing miserably.
"Don't sound too happy about it Lil's." James said sarcastically.
"Ha, ha. Any way I'm off to bed, good night everyone." Everyone told her goodnight and she walked upstairs. She pulled off her dress, and heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Lily asked.
"James, can I come in?" He said quietly.
"Hold on, I'm half naked." She told him, trying to look for her house coat.
"Well, I've seen you full naked, so it won't really matter will it?" He asked sarcastically.
"Potter you come in you die." She said pulling her shocking pink house coat on (which Amel had happened to love)
"Ok come in." She said, sitting her self at the dressing table and combing her hair.
"Hey," He said coming up from behind her so Lily could see him in her mirror.
"Hi, what can I do for you?" She asked thinking how incredibly sexy he looked with his top button of his shirt open and his tie hanging loose.
"Lily, I just wanted to make sure you'll alright." He said.
"Yeah why?" She asked confused.
"Well, I know what Malfoys are capable of, and I don't want you getting hurt." He told her genuinely.
"James, why are you telling me this? I can look after myself." She said turning to face him.
"Because I have grown up with these people all my life Lily. You don't know what there like. On the outside there all charming and friendly but on the inside, there manipulative and evil." He said raising his voice a little.
"Why because there Slytherins?" Lily said getting angry.
"No, because there probably all Deatheaters!" He exploded.
"James you don't even know that." Lily said indignantly. Getting up out of her seat and walking across the room.
"Fine then, you do what you want, but don't say I didn't warn you." He snarled and flounced out the room.
Lily was angry, how could he even tell her what to do when he had only known her for 5 minutes. She felt like hitting something, the way he had shouted at her. It hurt her. She got into bed and dreaded the day ahead.
Lily awoke to a dull cloudy morning, remembering the events of last night she curled up in a ball and decided she would stay in bed until James had gone to work. She looked over at her bedside table and her heart skipped a beat. There on the table was a single white lily and a note saying one word on it. Sorry.
She smiled, maybe today wasn't going to be that bad, but she still had the date with Malfoy.
After a quiet day of practicing how to be lady like Lily walked into La Bon Appetite and found a very handsome looking Malfoy sitting a table for two. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror to the right of her. Her shiny hair was pulled back neat, she wore a black robe that had straps at the back.
Malfoy spotted her and motioned her over.
She walked over nervous.
"Hello, please sit down, would you like a drink.?" Malfoy asked kissing her hand.
"Yes please," She smiled. She looked around her, the place was very nice. It was lightly dimmed and had beautiful candles everywhere.
"It's very nice in here isn't it?" Malfoy asked noticing her looking round.
"Yes, its simply stunning." Lily said admiring a piece of art work that hung opposite there table.
"Just like you then." He said, in that irritating charming voice.
"Why thank you," Lily said smiling at him.
"Your very charming." She told him, taking the menu of the waiter.
"What would you like?" Malfoy asked her. Lily couldn't read half the menu because it was in French, wishing Amel was with her she told him she'd have whatever he was having. They got through dinner making small talk and Malfoy telling Lily about his family. Lily told him about her father and though she hated to admit it, she was having a good time with him.
"Well, it was a pleasure, I do hope to do it again sometime." Malfoy said raising from his seat and kissing Lily on the cheek, making her stomach flutter. (sorry you guys. I absolutely HATE my self for doing this but you guyz know I would never let lil's marry a malfoy! Ok!)
"Yes, I have enjoyed myself. Thank you." She smiled at him and watched him walk out of the restaurant. She got her coat and apparated back to Bella's.
"Honey I'm home!" Lily shouted when she found her self at home.
"Hey, hey hey! What happened? Did you have a good time? Did you kiss? Come on I need details!!" Amel shouted through from the kitchen.
"Ok already, I'm coming." Lily said feeling a bit dazed. She walked through to the kitchen and sat down with Amel. Sirius was there as well but James was no where to be seen. Lily hadn't seen him all day and suddenly felt a longing to see him.
"Hey Sirius where's James?" Lily asked him trying to sound casual.
"He's working late, he'll be back soon." Sirius said, taking a sip from the mulled mead in his hand.
"Forget about James for now. What happened?" Amel bounced up and down like a school girl with a new toy.
"Ok, well, I met him, we talked for a while. We ate. We talked for a while longer. Then he kissed me on my cheek then he went." Lily said casually.
"What was he like?" Bella asked.
"He was charming and considerate and not what you would think a slytherin would act like." Lily said making herself a cup of tea.
"And he kissed you?"
"Yep, right here." Lily said being over dramatic and pointing at the exact spot that Malfoy had kissed her.
"Yeah well don't tell James." Sirius said.
"Don't tell James what?" James asked making them all jump. He waltzed into the kitchen looking just as sexy as ever.
"That I have an undying love for you!" Lily gave him a flirty grin.
"Oh I knew that." He teased.
"Well you guys, I having this cuppa and then I'm off to bed." Lily said exhaustedly.
Lily walked up the stairs slowly. She got changed and fell into bed she smelt the lily that was still on her bedside table and laid it next to her. Just as she was about to switch the light off there was a knock at the door for the second night running.
"Come in." Lily called partly hoping it was James again.
"Hey." James said as he made his way into the room and sat on the end of her bed. She sat up to face him.
"You just can't keep away can you? Coming in every night, Bella will suspect we're having a raunchy affair." Lily grinned.
"Actually, I come to apologise about last night. I shouldn't have blew up at you like that." He said, looking at the lily.
"It's ok, thank you, it's beautiful." She said looking at the lily as well.
"Anyway, what were you saying about that raunchy affair Lil's?" James asked in a flirtatious voice and with the most fantastic lop-sided grin. Lily felt her heart skip a beat.
"Remember Mr Potter, I am to be married, it would not be right for me to just be unfaithful, no matter how much I wanted to." She added in a flirty voice. She knew there was sexual tension between them. They both fancied the pants off each other but while she was playing the marrying game she knew she just could not fall in love.
"Well, when your free give us a call." He said giving her a wink and bending down to kiss her on the cheek and right at that moment Lily turned and instead of getting her cheek he landed perfectly on her mouth. They kissed softly, for a few minutes until James pulled away.
"Goodnight my little kinky mistress." James said. Lily giggled.
"Yes, my raunchy lover!" She said softly. Closing her eyes and drifting of into a beautiful sleep, dreaming of James and Malfoy.
