A/N: Okay I just want to say thanx to everyone who reviewed. *Gives everyone who has reviewed great big hugs. Gives Ryan's Brookie an extra hug, then slaps her upside the head for the comment about Pasold.* This is a short chapter, more or less just filler chapter, so it probably sucks.

*March*

Lily woke up one morning to see the sun shining through her window. "Ugh," she groaned. She swung her legs over the side of her bed and got up. She stretched, and then remembered what she was doing today.

"Oh no," she said aloud. She had suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be having lunch with James' family, her family, and her and James' friends. Surprisingly, her sister, Petunia, and brother-in-law, Vernon, were going to be at the lunch as well.

Lily went over to the closet and started pulling out clothes, all the shile muttering curses under her breath. They were going to a Muggle restaurant, so robes were out of the question. She sincerely hoped that Nataliye, Sirius, Remus, and James and his family wouldn't wear something *too* outlandish.

Lily went downstairs after picking an outfit to see her parents. They were sitting in the living room, watching the television.

"'Morning Lily, dear," Rose said. "'Morning Mum."

"We're going to leave at 11:00, in order to be in London at 12:30. (A/N: I don't know the distances so I'm just makin' 'em up.) I hope you can be ready by then."

"Yeah. I'll be ready. I've got my clothes picked out, so all I've got to do is my hair makeup and get dressed."

"Fine dear."

Lily watched the television with her parents for about an hour, then went up to her room to change. She pulled on a pair of black stretch pants and a short-sleeved lavender top. After she did her hair and makeup, she went downstairs to find her parents already waiting for her.

They headed out to the car and headed off to London. Lily occupied the car ride by reading a wizard novel. After an hour and a half of driving, they arrived at the restaurant. They walked in and were shown their table. Everyone else was already there. James stood and gave Lily a quick kiss before he pulled out her chair for her.

The introductions were made for those who didn't know each other. Vernon and Petunia looked disgusted at having to dine with "freaks."

"So Lily, *this* is who you're planning on marrying?" Petunia said as she wrinkled her nose in disgust. James glanced at Lily before turning away, blushing.

"Yes Petunia. He *is*," Lily said, coldly.

"Hmm. *Interesting*," Petunia replied.

"Girls," Rose warned quietly. Sirius and Remus looked at each other, then at Petunia.

"So," Kaithlynn Potter said. "How long have you and Vernon been married, Petunia?" She was trying to ease the tension at the table.

"Around three years," Petunia said, coldly. Kaithlynn visibly winced at Petunia's tone.

"Well, this is certainly fun," Sirius said in a sarcastic undertone. "Ouch!" he cried as he felt Nataliye, who was sitting across from him, kick him hard in the shin with her heels.

There was an uneasy silence in the air. Glares kept being exchanged between Petunia and Lily, with James glancing between the two.

A waitress came over and took everyone's order. After she left, Anna Potter got up and headed for the bathroom. After Anna came back, Petunia started in on Lily.

"So Lily, how's that freak job of yours going?" Lily glared at her from across the table.

"Fine," Lily replied, calmly. "How's yours going? Oh wait, that's right. Vernon won't let you work, will he?" Lily knew that Petunia was very sensitive about the fact that Vernon wouldn't let her work.

"All right you little freak," Petunia began. She was extremely angry.

"Girls!" Rose interrupted. "Can't you two get along for one afternoon?"

"Forget it. We're leaving. Come on Vernon. I for one don't want to sit with these freaks any longer," Petunia stated as she stood up to leave.

Petunia and Vernon left, with everyone at the table staring at them in shock.

"I'm terribly sorry about that," Rose started.

"Oh. Don't worry about it. I hope you don't mind me saying, but they're the kind of people who give Muggles a bad name," Anna said.

"*That's* your sister, Lily? No wonder you never liked her much," Nataliye said.

"If you all will excuse me," Lily said as she got up. "I'll be back in a minute." With that, Lily walked to the bathroom and splashed some cold water on her face. She couldn't believe that that scene had happened out there. And in front of James Potter!

After Lily was sufficiently calmed down, she went back out to the table and tried to look like she was having a good time, which was especially trying since the incident with Petunia was fresh in everyone's mind and she had to pretend to be in love with James.

After a fairly pleasant dinner, everybody went home. They all had mixed feelings about how the dinner went. Of course, the people who were least pleased were James and Lily. Both of them hoped that from now until the wedding, they could avoid each other. Both knew that *that* was unlikely to happen, but kept hoping anyway.



Well there it is!! Hope it wasn't too boring. And this is just a filler chappie neway. The next chappie will be the morning of the wedding, so stay tuned and please review! All are appreciated.
