MUGGLE LONDON
Stepping into Jeanne's sitting room Lily shouted "Hello" and was pleased to be greeted by not only Jeanne but also Philip.
After the rounds of hello's James said to Philip "Thanks for inviting me to training with you"
Philip smiled "It's Lily you should be thanking she was the one singing your praises to the coach" At this Lily rolled her eyes and gave Philip a sarcastic smile.
Noticing the look that James was giving her "Well you are a good chaser and I reckon we make a good team" moving over to Philip "Should we meet you there at the usual time tomorrow".
Nodding to her he said "Yep…that would be great"
As Jeanne came back into the sitting room she said "I'm sorry you two but I have to go to work this afternoon…Do you think you could entertain yourselves?" and gave them a wry smile.
Philip gave a nasty look "What are you suggesting they do?"
"Philip get your mind out of the gutter…Plus may I remind you of Christmas" at this Philip blushed slightly and he tried to smile "If you like I can give you some Muggle money and you could explore Muggle London for a few hours"
James nodded enthusiastically at this "I've never been in Muggle London before" and turning to Lily "Have you?"
Lily nodded at him "Sounds like a plan…What time would you like us to be back?"
"I should only be about three hours…So be back for four and then I think Philip can treat us all to dinner" Turning to her fiancée "What do you think?"
Philip rolled his eyes in mock protest "Yeah sure…But its my choice"
Putting her arms around him Jeanne laughed "So it's pizza then is it"
But was interrupted by James saying, "I've never had pizza" which caused the rest of them to laugh.
All ready to leave Jeanne and Philip went over to the fireplace but Lily pulled James back and said "No James…We are going to be Muggle's today…so no floo network"
Some what confused James said "Then how?
Laughing at the young wizard Lily said "Tube James…Oh this is going to be fun?" and she dragged him out of the apartment and into the street. Holding hands the young couple headed for the tube station. James watched, as Lily bought some pieces of paper and then she led him down a flight of stairs into what James had to agree was a tube.
Stood on the platform James said, "It's sort of like waiting for the school train" at this Lily nodded and the train arrived at that moment. Taking hold of his hand Lily pulled him onto it, thankful it was mid afternoon and not busy. Sat on the tube Lily looked at James and thought He looks really good in Muggle clothes and she moved closer to him.
It wasn't long before they were getting off and walking down a street lined with shops. They spent the rest of the afternoon going in and out of different shops. As it approached 4 o'clock Lily decided it would be best to head back to a tube station. Holding onto James' hand tight on the platform they followed the rush to get on the first train and found they had to stand up. Lily smiled to her self as James slid his arm around her waist and held her close to him for the whole journey.
Leaning into James embrace Lily's mind began to wander I love being with James…Will we be together for ever…Well we're together nowthese thought made her smile to her self Tonight should be fun…Hope James likes pizza. This thought caused a frown to form Jeanne only has two bedrooms…where is James going to sleep!!!!. Lily noticed that James was nudging her and she turned to look at him.
"Where do we have to get off?" he said and placed a kiss on her nose. Lily pulled James towards the door and then out on to the platform. After a short walk they were back in Jeanne's apartment.
"Hi…we're back," Lily said as they walked into Jeanne's kitchen "Are we going out or eating in?"
"Eating in…Phil has already gone to pick up the pizza's," she said smiling "Hope you two are hungry?"
Both teenagers nodded and Lily said "I'm just going to go and get changed…not be a minute" and she headed for Jeanne's spare room.
Watching her go James looked at Jeanne and said "I think I will get changed as well being a Muggle is dirty business…Where did you put my stuff?"
Smiling at him Jeanne pointed towards a door to her right and turned back to getting organised for dinner, chuckling to her self as she watched James open the door.
Walking into the room James pulled off the grimy T-shirt he had been wearing and slid off the Muggle Jeans that Lily had made him wear. Crouching over his bag rummaging for some clean clothes James didn't realise that he was being watched.
Leaning against the doorway to the on suit bathroom stood Lily thinking Wow…James has a gorgeous body…I hadn't realised he had got that muscley…Wow…nice legs and bottom. At that moment James stood up and pulled on a pair of clean trousers then turned to see Lily watching him.
Folding his arms over his naked chest James smiled at her but made no attempt to cover him self up "Can I help you?"
Lily blushed but recovered quickly and a wicked grin spread over her face "Well you could move your arms…So I could get a better look".
Lily squealed at the look that spread over James face and ran back into the bathroom shutting the door. Leaning against the door Lily was shacking with laughter and was unable to resist as James barged it open.
Unable to say anything through laughing James grabbed Lily and started tickling her, which only made her laugh harder. After a couple of minutes James pulled her to her feet and wrapped his arms around her. Lily leaned against his naked chest and ran her hands over the smooth skin of his back causing James to tense slightly. Bending his head down he kissed her lightly at first but the passion in the kiss soon rose causing a gasp of pleasure from Lily. This was soon followed by the familiar feeling of clamping iron and groans of frustration from both teenagers. Breaking a part Lily rested her head against James and sighed but was brought into reality by raised voices from the living room.
Pulling away from James Lily flashed him a look and said, "Come on get that on" pointing at the shirt "Phil's back". Lily straightened her hair as James finished getting dressed and they walked into the sitting room together.
The air in the living room was a little tense, Lily looked at the two adults, and they were both glaring at one another. Jeanne turned to Lily and James and said "Come on let's eat while the pizza is still hot…Would you two like some butterbeer?"
Soon the tension eased as they sat around the table eating slices of pizza and drinking butterbeer. Lily saw James looking somewhat confused over how to eat the pizza so she reached over and picked up a slice. It wasn't long before all the pizza had disappeared and they were sat around the table chatting. Lily and James told them of the latest pranks they had played on the Slytherin's and Philip told them all about training with the England team.
As Lily yawned Jeanne said "Time to turn in I think…especially if you two are going training tomorrow".
A dark shadow slid over Philip's face and he glared at Jeanne, who simply rolled her eyes at him and thought Bloody prude but said, "Lily I have put James in with you" noticing Philip Jeanne raised her hand to stop him. "We need to go and more a few things around" She turned to look at Philip "So we can transfigure the chair into a bed for James…Otherwise the old prude may have a heart attack".
Before Philip got a chance to say anything Jeanne was already heading through the bedroom door. Lily followed her not looking at the two males' left sitting at the table. In the bedroom Lily found Jeanne levitating furniture around the room and transfiguring an armchair into a bed. All the time Lily could hear Jeanne muttering that Phil was an idiot, what did he think they were going to do? And anyway they were old enough? Bloody idiot. Lily decided it was best to stay quiet and just help to organise the room.
In the kitchen James was facing a menacing glare from Philip. In a low voice Philip said, "I will be in the next room…So you had better beware!" all James could manage was a nod.
At that moment Jeanne came back into the kitchen and looking at James said "Go to bed James…I will see you in the morning…Good night".
Nodding at her he said "Good night" and quickly left the kitchen. James went into the bedroom and found Lily was in the bathroom, so he decided to quickly get changed. By the time Lily emerged James was already in bed sat up smiling at her. Lily walked over to him and gave him a light kiss before turning back and getting into her own bed. It wasn't long before they were both asleep.
***********************************************************
Philip knocked on the door before opening it and smiling to himself as he found both teenagers asleep in their own beds. "Wakey, wakey…Come on you two time to get up" getting no response he raised his wand muttered a spell and a small stream of cold water hit James and then Lily. Philip laughed and ducked out of the room as Lily sent a pillow flying in his direction and James shouted "Sirius…You are dead"
Lily surfaced first and going over to Philip kissed him good morning and then punched him in the arm but he simple smiled at her and rubbed his arm. As she sat down helping herself to breakfast, James appeared dressed in his Quidditch training robes and smiled at them. Breakfast went smoothly and it wasn't long before Philip was hurrying the pair into the fireplace.
As they entered the clubhouse James followed Lily over to a group of players. Lily introduced James and was exasperated by the looks some of them gave her. The males gave James the evil eye and the female players winked at her. Lily was thankful when the coach bellowed for them all to get outside. Quidditch practice was gruelling Jonesy had them do fitness training for the most of the morning and then after lunch he divided them up into positions and they ran drills.
Finally the players were assembled for a training match, first team players against the reserve players. Lily smiled over at James who was now looking very nervous but he managed to smile back. Taking to the air the bludger's were released and the Quaffle was thrown up. It wasn't long before the first team was up by 30 points,
James looked over at Lily and gave her a familiar signal and she dropped into formation. Following James' lead Lily swooped to the right as James swooped to the left, as the pair crossed in front of a confused looking Richard Lily swiftly lifted the quaffle out of his outstretched hand and raced away towards James. Ducking under an advancing bludger Lily passed to James and he scored. While this was going on Philip had been in a flat race with the reserve seeker for the snitch.
Returning to the ground Lily and James stood together smiling at the look of horror on Richards's face at having been duped by two teenagers. Laughing Lily went over to Richard and hugged him. Richard whispered in her ear "You two make a brilliant team" and he winked at her.
Later in the clubhouse Lily sat down into the chair next to James and helped herself to a glass of pumpkin juice and some sandwiches. "So how did you enjoy training" she asked
Wiping his mouth James said "Good…Learned a lot" pausing he then said "Don't think the Gryffindor team will like it though" and he laughed.
The food was soon gone and Lily was being dragged off by Philip to go and talk to the coach. Richard took this opportunity to sit down next to James "So James enjoyed your self?"
James nodded "Yes thanks"
"So how is everything going?" Richard looked over towards Lily
James stuttered "Oh…umm… ok…"
The older man laughed "Don't worry about Phil…He'll get over it" and he laughed harder at the shocked look on James' face. Leaning close into James Richard whispered "If I was you try checking those books that Phil is always sending Lily" and with this he got up and went over to talk to some of the other chasers.
************************************************************
It was 8 o'clock before they found themselves back in Jeanne's apartment and Lily and James collapsed onto the sofa exhausted. Philip laughed at the pair and went into the kitchen to kiss his fiancée. Jeanne made them all a big mug of hot chocolate, which they drank in silence.
James noticed that Lily was about to drop her mug, carefully taking it out of her hand he realised that she was a sleep. Biting his lip James wondered whether to wake her up or not but he felt Jeanne nudge him "James It might be easier if you just pick her up".
James avoided looking at Philip and picking Lily up he said "Good night" and headed for their room. Once inside he elbowed the door shut and walked over to Lily's bed. Placing her down carefully James thought Oh shit what do I do now?…Do I leave her fully clothed or what? And he sat next to her. Finally he started to take off her shoes pausing he decided to remove her robe and then slowly undid the buttons on her jeans and eased them off. As her skin became exposed to the air Lily curled up against the sudden chill, James manoeuvred the duvet and covered her with it. Removing his own shoes, jeans and robes James lay down next to Lily and put his arms around her.
************************************************************
Leaning against the door Jeanne sighed at the sighted of the sleeping teenagers. James had managed to get under the duvet at some point in the night and now Lily was curled up in his protective embrace. Jeanne smiled to her self and thought They look so cute but this thought was cut short as Philip came up behind her.
"What the bloody hell is going on here?" He bellowed
James opened his eyes realised in an instance what was going on, he was lay in bed with Lily, in Jeanne's apartment and Philip was at the door. In his panic to get out of the bed James got his foot caught on the duvet and tumbled on to the floor dragging the covers with him.
Lily turned over to see Philip's face and groaned "Phil…Stop it…We didn't do anything" but looking down at the stricken expression on James' face all she could do was laugh. "James you should see your face" she spluttered
"Lily" was all James could manage as he continued to struggle to get free of the bedding. Lily leaned down and pulled one corner of the duvet and James tumbled free and then she swung her legs over the side of the bed looked at Philip and said "Phil get over it…I'm going in the shower". Turning to Jeanne "What time do we need to leave for the train?"
Trying not to laugh Jeanne said "We need to get going soon because we need to go to Diagon Alley first" checking her watch she said "You've got half an hour"
At this Lily nodded strode over James and went into the bathroom, Jeanne grabbed hold of Philip's arm and pulled him out of the bedroom and shut the door. As the catch clicked shut James flopped back onto the floor and covered his face with his hands and muttered "Shit…shit…shit".
***************************************************************
Half an hour later the four of them were stepping out of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron. Going over to Tom Jeanne said "Hi Tom…would it be Ok if we left their trunks here while we nip into Diagon Alley…we will not be long"
"Yeah…no problem…put them in there" and he pointed towards a door at the side of the bar.
Lily and James started towards the door and Jeanne said "Thanks Tom…can we have four Butter beers as well please".
Standing at the bar James made sure that Lily and Jeanne were always in between him and Philip, he didn't like the murderous looks the older man kept giving him. Unbeknown to James he was about to be left alone with Philip, while the girls went into Madame Makin's and tried on the wedding robes they had ordered the week before.
Looking at the pair Jeanne smiled "Right you two can go in Quidditch shop and ogle racing brooms while we go to Madame Makin's" pinching Philip's cheek she said "If you are good boys I'll buy you an ice cream before we go for the train". Laughing at the scowl on Philip's face she dragged him out the door and into Diagon Alley, closely followed by Lily and James.
***************************************************************
Standing on platform 9¾ 2 hours later Lily hugged Jeanne and said "Thanks Jeanne" letting go she smiled and moved over to Philip. Wrapping her arms around him Lily kissed him on the cheek and whispered "I love you". Squeezing her tight he said "I love you too…sorry for being a stupid git…but I can't help myself"
Lily laughed at him "You just need to relax…I'm not stupid…I know what I'm doing". At this Phil kissed her forehead and said, "I know…Just be careful…OK"
Never taking his eyes off Philip James kissed Jeanne on the cheek and said "Thank you for inviting me over…Sorry if we caused you any trouble"
Jeanne gave him a hug and said "You were no trouble…We'll see you at the wedding Ok" and she let go and move over to Philip.
Taking hold of Jeanne's hand Philip offered his other to James and the two men shook hands "Make sure you take care of little Lily flower" feeling Jeanne squeeze his hand Philip added "Sorry…See you in the summer and I hope you win the house cup"
Both of them nodded at him and Lily said, "So do we". Opening the door James put the trunks onto the train and then held his hand out towards Lily. Shutting the door behind them Lily opened the window and leaned out as the train began to pull out of the station she waved and shouted "Bye see you in summer"

Lily laughed at him "You just need to relax…I'm not stupid…I know what I'm doing". At this Phil kissed her forehead and said, "I know…Just be careful…OK"
Never taking his eyes off Philip James kissed Jeanne on the cheek and said "Thank you for inviting me over…Sorry if we caused you any trouble"
Jeanne gave him a hug and said "You were no trouble…We'll see you at the wedding Ok" and she let go and move over to Philip.
Taking hold of Jeanne's hand Philip offered his other to James and the two men shook hands "Make sure you take care of little Lily flower" feeling Jeanne squeeze his hand Philip added "Sorry…See you in the summer and I hope you win the house cup"
Both of them nodded at him and Lily said, "So do we". Opening the door James put the trunks onto the train and then held his hand out towards Lily. Shutting the door behind them Lily opened the window and leaned out as the train began to pull out of the station she waved and shouted "Bye see you in summer"
