Title: Different Lives
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story that belong to the great JKR. I own the plot, though.
Summary: Lily is a French diplomat and James is an undercover auror. How can two people with completely different lives meet?
A/N: I had so much fun writing this chapter out. The fluffy chapters are coming up soon, I think. I'm a bit sad though because I got so few reviews. But I won't allow it discourage me.
Chapter 2
Lily was sitting behind her desk daydreaming about how easy her life would have been if she hadn't made that deal with Voldemort. It was a beautiful Monday morning and she was stuck behind her desk going through a stack of paperwork. The telephone ringing broke her dazed reverie. She quickly picked the phone and.......
" Hello, Melanie! What do you think you are doing by calling me? Hadn't I made it clear I wanted no interruptions today? I'm very busy and I have to complete some very important paperwork, which is due next week, and how am I supposed to do so if you constantly annoy me about loosening up? Now what is it that you want?" Lily snapped.
" I'm really sorry to disturb you, madam. You asked me to call an agency to find a personal bodyguard a couple of weeks ago. Remember?"
"Yes, Melanie."
"Well, the agency has sent someone and he wants to meets you. Should I send him in?"
"Can't he come again tomorrow?" asked Lily.
"Hold on second, madam. I'll inquire."
Lily waited while Melanie inquired. She was quite snappish today because she hardly gotten any sleep last night because she had to go through and check a lot of documents.
"Well......hurry up Melanie. I haven't got all day," she snapped again.
"He says, madam, that he is the last unit. If you do not accept him now, you will have to wait another 9 months until the next recruit has been trained because according to him bodyguards are now in high demand."
"Oh, very well. Send him in. And sorry for snapping at you so much this morning, I'm suffering from lack of sleep."
"It's quite alright and I'll send him right in."
"Thank you, Mel," Lily finally said.
A few minutes later, a knock of the door and a handsome young man about her age with unruly black hair and blue eyes entered the room. Lily felt a strange butterfly fluttering in her stomach. She caught her breath. She quickly regained her composure as he shook her hands.
"Hi, my name is James Potter and I'm your new bodyguard unless you choose not to hire me," he said with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Well, someone sure has an egoistical sense of humour," she replied in between laughs. "Well, why don't you have a seat now," she continued after she had regained her composure once again.
" Well, can I have your resume?" James handed her his resume and she studied the contents for a while before speaking.
"Well......you are very qualified but it will take me awhile to trust you. I'll increase your salary if the quality of your performance impresses me. If you agree to my terms then you will be hired. So?" she asked.
" The answer is a yes. I do not mind it if you don't trust me now but I hope you will trust me in the near future."
" Well, you can go now and wait for me outside the office. I will leave for lunch soon."
" Well, thank you, madam. I await your arrival."
" Call me Lily and you're welcome."

James left Lily's office and sat down in the waiting room. He couldn't believe that she could be so beautiful with her red hair tied up into a neat ponytail and her gorgeous emerald green eyes staring at him with curiosity and suspicion. He couldn't wait began work with her. He felt attracted more and more by the mere thoughts of her. Then suddenly.
James, snap out of it. You came here with a job and you should not get distracted by her gorgeous green eyes and red.. wait a minute! I'm doing it again. Who cares? It will probably go off in a few days* he reasoned with himself.
With that, he picked up one of the magazines from the coffee table and began flipping through it to pass of the time.
He was fascinated by the fact pictures in the muggle magazine could not move. He was still wowing at the magazine when someone interrupted him.
" Looks as though you haven't see a magazine before, James," a female voice said.
He looked up and saw Lily staring at him. He grinned sheepishly and said," Oh, I just saw something in it that amazed me. That's all." Lily raised eyebrow at him but said nothing about it nonetheless.
" Well, let's go then. I will be having lunch with a very important official so remember do not mess anything up. Got that? Okay, good. Let's go, now. I can't be late."
With that she walked away with James following closely behind.
