a/n Hey guys, im writin my first fan fic ever, so please tell me what you
think and review!
It might start out a lil bit confusin but as the plot unravels u will get it. -Leanne
James had said goodbye to people before. He always had to, that was the price when you go to a boarding school. But inside he knew that this goodbye was unlike any other he had made before in his life, he was saying bye to someone he loved more then life itself, and now.. now it was all over.
"James, I'll see you next summer. its not that far away.. Really." The amazingly pretty red head said trying to keep back the tears.
"I know Lils, I know. And when I do get back we are going to have an even better summer then this one."
Lily smiled at James and leaned into his arms further inside his hug. "That's impossible, because this one was as good as it gets." At this James gave her one last kiss, swallowed hard and whispered an "I love you" into his girl friends ear and turned around to leave a place that had been more like his home than his own all summer. He knew if he didn't leave now he would never get the courage to be able to. As he opened the door he turned around to see a now very teary eyed 15 year old girl blow a kiss his way. He smiled, pretended to catch the kiss, held it close to his heart and turned around to leave the person who meant more to him than anyone else in his life. Lily broke into tears as soon as the door closed and managed to get out an "I love you too" before the tears broke her body into pieces.
This was how it had to be, she knew it, and their was no other way.
Exactly 3 months earlier
"Wow Dad, this place is humungo!" Lily said bewildered by the huge house they had just arrived at. It was a beautiful cream color and larger than any back at her neighbor hood, or shall we say old neighbor hood.
Mr.Evans chuckled and turned to smile at his daughter, "Well, didn't I say it was?"
"Yes but this. this is. just wow!" said Lily and gave her father the satisfaction he was hoping for.
"I don't like it."snapped a voice from behind Lily. Lily stared at her sister in amazement.
"Why?" Lily spitted out.
"It's too, too. erch why do I have to have a reason for everything? Maybe I just don't like it!" Petunia said unable to find a reason.
Lily leaned over to her sister standing next to her and said in a voice that her father wouldn't be able to hear, "You aren't going to make this easy for the rest of us, are you? I wish you would just grow up, this is hard enough for Dad as it is." Petunia growled back at Lily.
"Alright girls! No time like the present! Lets get started unloading the truck."
Lily waited while her sister and Dad began to open the moving truck they had borrowed for the day while she took a second to let all the beauty of her new house and neighbor hood set in.
Lily turned back to go get her things quickly because she wanted to be able to pick out the bedroom of her choice, even if she was only going to be living here a couple more summers.
Lily looked around the packed tight moving van. She decided to take in the box labeled stuff toys since it couldn't possible be to heavy. She was walking up the driveway when a car pulled into the house on her right. She stood a second watching to see who her new neighbors were. First a man of about 45 and a women about the same age got out of their car.
"C'mon James, wake up were home!" the father shouted.
A few seconds later a boy with messy dark hair and a grinning face at his parents departed from the car.
The boy turned around to look at the moving truck that was parked outside Lily's new house.. Bam! Lily's stuffed animals were rolling down the drive way.
'Oh my gosh I can not believe I just did that, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I always do this, every single time I see a cute boy and whosh clumsy me falls or sumthing. Ugh, maybe he didn't see.' Lily said in her head as she scrambled to pick up all of her stuffed animals. She looked up at the boy she had fallen over and to her dismay he was smiling at her trying not to start laughing and looked away. 'Crap!' But, little did she know he was smiling for a completely different reason.
'Wow, who in the world is that hottie?' James pondered to himself as he turned around when he got out of his car. Then all of a sudden she dropped whatever box she was carrying and hurried to pick it up. James continued to watch as his parents began to unpack the trunk of their car. The girl was leaning over so far that James could see in his opinion a very nice view down the front of her shirt and unknowingly he started to grin. The girl looked up suddenly and James immediately turned away. 'Crap! Now she thinks im some kind of sicko!' he said in his head.
The two rather embarrassed 15 year olds continued unpacking, both sneaking random looks at each other as they unloaded their things, then abruptly turning away when they noticed the other one was looking.
James got so caught up in trying to look slick in front of his new neighbor that he accidentally dropped a small package that started to explode into random small versions of animals. There was a monkey, an elephant, a zebra, and lion now running around the front lawn. James quickly glanced around before chasing after his animals that popped into smoke 5 seconds later, and yes thankfully all 3 of the newest members of the street were inside dropping off their boxes. James' parents immediately started to yell at their son.
"James what in the world are those!?" yelled his father in a hushed tone so they wouldn't be noticed any more by their neighbors.
"I got them at Hogsmead, sorry they explode on impact, I. uhh wasn't paying attention." said James making his excuses fast.
"What in the world did you get things like that for? And keep your voice down, remember your back in the world of muggles!" his mom said.
"Umm, the gang and I, we uhh, used them for an experiment, and these were left over." James didn't exactly lie as he said this. They did use them as an experiment. an experiment to see who could throw the most at Snapes head.
That moment Lily and the rest if her family returned outside. She immediately heard the hooting of an owl. Lily looked up expecting to see her- but, she heard it again. This owl was coming from the back of the neighbors' car. The boy quickly took the owl inside, noticing the stares he was beginning to get from Lily's family. 'He couldn't possibly be.. No, no stop dreaming Lily' she laughed at herself for thinking such an unlikely idea.
At the end of the day both families were all done unloading. Although James' family did take about 5 hours less then Lilys' because they of course didn't have a whole moving van to unpack. James was just about to go out and help his new neighbors (also a good way to introduce him self to the younger girl of the two whom in his opinion was better looking then all of the girls back at Hogwarts combined.) But, as his luck always goes the moving van pulled away from the Evans just as he was leaving his house.
"Awwe man!" he mumbled to himself. "Oh well, I can still see if they need help unpacking." So he continued cutting across the lawn and knocked on the door.
Lily was upstairs unpacking in her brand new lilac room when she heard the doorbell. She looked out the window that was over her bed and saw the drop dead gorgeous boy from earlier that day standing outside her door.
"I'll get it!" she heard her father say downstairs from in the kitchen.
"Noooooo! I wanna get it!" she shouted down to her father. After making a quick stop in front of the bathroom mirror right outside her room she dashed down the stairs and opened the door.
Neither of them was exactly sure how long they stood staring at each other, but it was definitely a very long time. James and Lily had never been closer than 60 feet and so this was the very first time they were able to truly get a good look at each other, and let me tell you they definitely liked what they saw.
James couldn't get over how her body seemed to have perfect curves in all the right places. Her shiny light red hair fell down in curled layers past her shoulders. Even though she was a red head she had a very dark deep tan, that James was sure you couldn't get anywhere in England. But what captivated James the most was Lily's bright emerald eyes. He had never seen such big beautiful eyes before and they took his breath away the moment they made eye contact.
Lily at the same time was goggling over James in the same way. She new immediately that he must be very athletic because he had just the right build and just the right height. His black hair looked like it had just been frazzled by the wind and made him seem very adventurous. His smile was the kind of smile that makes a girls heart melt. And that is exactly what Lily's heart did as soon as her eyes locked with his bright blue ones.
I wish I could say it was love at first sight, but I believe love is something that two people work hard for. But, this was as close as it got to real love at first sight. Because even underneath all the physical attractions, there was something even more. it was as if the universe shifted for just that one moment and told them that they were soul mates.
"Lily!? Who is it?" The two teens snapped out of their trances as Mr.Evans came towards the doorway.
"Oh, uh umm my names James Potter. Uh, I live next door and I just thought that I would come to introduce my self." And Lily's eyes never left contact with his face as he said this.
"Well, it is very nice to meet you James. We just moved here today, we came from the U.S." Lily's dad said realizing his daughter wasn't yet capable of speaking.
"Well, um I'll just leave you two to get acquainted, I still have a ton of unpacking to do." And Mr.Evans turned around to go back into the kitchen.
Lily suddenly realized that the door was still wide open and that she had to take control of the conversation now. "So" she said while stepping outside and closing the door, "How long have you lived around here?"
"Actually my whole life, but I go to boarding school so I haven't been home in a very long time."
"Really? I go to boarding school too, well now I have to go to a new school that's in England."
"Yeah I think you will like it here." James said. They both took a moment to smile at each other. "So, your dad said you use to live in the United States?"
"Yeah, we lived in Florida."
"Ohhh, I was wondering how you had such a good tan." Lily blushed a little as James said this.
"Yeah. I really miss it."
"Don't worry you will love it here." James said trying to keep Lily's smile from disappearing.
Lily smiled, "Well I think I will, that is as long as you're here." And James gave his famous grin back. The conversation went on jumping from topic to topic as they sat outside on Lily's front steps.
".so then my dad said that if he ever heard-"
"Lily you need to come in now, its way past dark." Mr.Evans told her daughter through the creaked open front door.
"Okay Dad, I'll be right in."
The two of them stood up and James said "Lily, if you want I'd be glad to take you around the city tomorrow, you know so you can look at the things to do and stuff.."
"Oh, I'm sorry James. I'm already doing something tomorrow. But I'd be glad to-"
"Who could you have possibly made a date with in the ten minutes before I saw you?" James asked feeling rejected.
Lily giggled at how jealous James seemed to get "No, James it's just that, well my mom is in the hospital with cancer. You know, The London Hospital for Acute Disease. Apparently, they have this really big experiment going on that might be able to help her, in fact that's why we moved here, so that we could be close to her. And we were going tomorrow to visit her."
"Oh Lily I'm so sorry. I had no idea."
"Thanks, but its okay. But like I was saying I'd be glad to go with you the day after tomorrow." She said as she began to smile again.
James face grew into a huge smile. "Great! I'll see you Tuesday! I'll drop by 9ish to pick you up!"
"Okay. See you then!" Lily responded, and she turned around to go inside.
James turned around and skipped home with a huge smile on his face.
A/n I hope you like it so far! I really enjoyed writin the first chappie, and I know exactly where the story is goin! I think the next chappie will be with James and Lily goin around to see London. but keep reading! And please review!
