Chapter 2:

"What did you call me over here for on such short notice," James Potter said in an annoyed sort of tone.

"Well, I needed to talk to you. You see, I have a sort of. problem," Lily replied, unsure of how to proceed.

"A problem, Evans?"

"Yes and I need you to help me with it."

"Uh-huh. And this problem would be." James asked.

"Well see my parents are forcing me into an arranged marriage and I don't really want to be married right now and the only way out of it is to marry someone else and announce it to my family before I meet my arranged husband," Lily said in one big breath.

"And what does all this have to do with me?" James asked quizzically.

"Well, I was kind of hoping that you'd marry me."

At this statement James burst out laughing. "Nice joke, Evans," He said.

"No joke, Potter. I'm serious. I want you to marry me. I figure that you're as good as anyone and after all those rumors in school about us, it would be easy to believe that we're getting married."

"It would?"

"Yes! All those rumors going around that we were dating each other in school make it easier to believe."

"What's in it for me?"

"I don't know. A decent wife maybe. Umm.. Your playboy image gone so your coworkers respect you. I really don't know!!!" She exclaimed.

"And I should agree to this because.?" "I asked you to, Potter!!!!" She shouted. People turned and looked at her. She blushed and tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear before looking back at James.

"All right."

"What!!" She hadn't expected him to agree that quickly. What is wrong with him?? She wondered.

"I said, "all right." Look, my parents have been pressuring me to get married for a couple of months now, uphold the Potter name and all, and this is an easy way out of it," James replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Look Evans, do you want me to marry you or not? I said I'd do it, although we'll probably be divorced in a month or two, but that doesn't matter. We both need this."

"All right, can you come by my house on Saturday to meet my parents. We have to announce this soon because I'm supposed to meet my ex-fiancée in about the next month or so, if not sooner."

"Sure. Whatever."

Lily gave James her address and told him to be at her house at 1:00.

Saturday

Lily had told her parents that James was coming by and that they were engaged. Needless to say they were a bit shocked. They were, however, looking forward to meeting their new son-in-law.

"Lily!! It's 12:45!! Your fiancée will be here soon!" Her mother yelled to Lily.

"Okay! Be right down!" Lily was in her room getting ready.

A few minutes later, Lily walked downstairs. She had just hit the bottom step when the doorbell rang. Lily called that she would get it and went to open the door. James was outside looking at the neighbors' houses.

"Hi. Come on in," Lily said in a forced cheerful tone.

"So," Lily's father said from behind her. "You must be James."
