Disclaimer: Jeanne is MINE and ONLY mine!!!!!! Mwahahahah!! ::sigh:: Although I wish James was too…
Lily awoke, finding the sun streaming in from the skylight window of the gigantic bedroom, on her face. Mumbling nonsense, Lily stretched and yawned with feline grace (only to be found in the morning) and tumbled out of her bed, onto the steps where she abruptly woke up grinning. Slowly, she climbed over to Jeanne's bed and conjured up a small cloud fro her to sit on, from a pillow, and floated above Jeanne's face. Using her wand, Lily began sprouting daisies, marigolds and all sorts of random flowers since she knew Jeanne's nose was the most sensitive when she slept.
Lily was actually being nice. Jeanne stirred but didn't wake and Lily sighed. The night before, they had taken the supplied brooms in the closet and went on a two-hour ride, zooming through the air and chasing each other, just like old times. They had also gone window shopping, zipping through the throngs of other broom riders. Needless to say, Jeanne was a bit tired.
No matter, Lily bounced to the kitchen and started whipping up flour, sugar, and eggs to create pancakes with her wand. After mixing the batter thoroughly, she left the pancake turner on automatic and wandered back to find Jeanne still dozing comfortably. It was already 10 am and Lily was dying to go out. Taking things to drastic measures, Lily aimed her wand at Jeanne's face and gently squirted a stream of ice-cold water. Jeanne's head popped up and with her " Only-when-I'm-half-dead-can-I-hit-a-bulls eye-target" aim, flung the nearest pillow straight into Lily's face.
Lily let out a shriek as the Pillow hit her with full force and grabbed another fluffy pillow, seeking revenge. Needless to say, Jeanne was very much awake by now. Shrieking with laughter and stopping every so often to pelt each other with pillows and then run away, the girls didn't notice that cloud 9 (the elevator) started moving up to their level; the suites.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Gosh Remus. You dork." Sirius Black joked as Remus Lupin fell asleep on his shoulder again. "I know you want me but try to wait won't you, man?"
"Screw you." Came Remus' sleepy reply as he dozed off again. Next to the two was James Potter, extremely tired and glad to be here where they'd be spending the summer.
" Yo. Prongs buddy, aren't you excited? A Whole summer to ourselves. Places to go, people to see, food to eat, girls to meet." Sirius grinned widely, showing a set of his straight pearly whites. James just laughed and took off his designer sunglasses. Although Sirius enjoyed girls, he had only dated once and his heart had been ripped apart by the female. Learning from this experience, Sirius had vowed not to date until he found The One when James had shared a similar experience.
However, Remus had never dated because of his problem of being a werewolf every month, but was happy to just be with his best friends. All three were actually rather handsome. Remus had light blonde hair mixed with natural tints of brown and had wide hazel eyes. Being sort of a pretty boy, He attracted many amorous glances from young ladies passing by. Tall and lean, all three had much history together.
Sirius was about 6'3, just three inches taller than Remus and two inches taller than James. Very toned but slim, Sirius was tan and had dark brown hair and was incredibly outgoing. People questioned if he was a Ladies Man, or not, simply because he was so nice to the girls. Girls would fall for him because of his niceness but could never tell if he was simply being himself or being nice. Thus, he got many young ladies aggravated but they could never stay mad at him for long.
Now James Potter was from Asian Descent. Although all three were from a line of the most wealthy, pureblooded and prestigious wizarding families, James' grandmother had been a famous Chinese beauty; Thus passing down some of her genes to her grandson. He had a sort of pallor accent to his skin, but only contrasted with his dark and spiky black, tinted brown, hair to make him look exotic. Sort of like a Greek statue. With wide chocolate brown eyes, many girls remarked that his eyes were prettier than some of their own. High cheekbones complemented his sculpted look.
As returning Seniors to Hogwarts (seventh years), well-toned muscles sculpted all three's bodies because of their hard work from Quidditch. James was a seeker, Sirius was chaser and Remus didn't like to fly because he didn't' enjoy heights.
Anyway, Sirius poked at the level 25 button for the hundredth time. "Come on!!!" He poked harder in frustration. " Why won't this bloody thing open so we can sleep??" He looked around and saw that Remus and James had dozed off. Sirius sighed and said to no one in particular "Man…that must have been a sucky flight."
Taking things to the extent, Sirius whipped out his ebony wand and murmured alohamora just as James woke up and warned " Padfoot, I don't think we should do tha---"
Not noticing, Sirius walked straight into the elegant kitchen, smelling pancakes and wondering if this was a welcome party. Instead, he found two girls screaming with laughter and pelting each other with pillows, having feathers fly all over their bodies. James and Remus followed in abruptly and stopped open mouthed.
Jeanne and Lily stopped as well, wondering what was going on. Wasn't this supposed to be THEIR suite?? Lily was the first to react while Jeanne blushed and moved behind Lily, trying to hide her pajamas, which just consisted of a tank top and short shorts.
"What in the bloody hell are you doing here?!" lily demanded, putting her hands on her hips. She didn't care if all she was wearing was a black sports bra with white basketball shorts. Lily was confused and she didn't like to be confused. For once, Sirius was a bit speechless and James spoke up for him. "Excuse me, but I thought my friends Sirius, Remus and I were supposed to be living on this floor." James tried not to look directly at Lily who was just realizing how little she had on and began crossing her arms.
"I think you must be mistaken," Lily remarked dryly. "As you can see, we were here from last night as well." James shot Sirius a confused glance and asked him, "Padfoot, where's our envelope?" Sirius stopped gaping and shot back, "I gave it to Moony." James than tapped Remus who had been looking out the window and Remus gave him the heavily monogrammed piece of paper. Adjusting his thin silver, circular glasses, James politely asked Lily to turn on some form of light.
Jeanne walked over to the cream colored drapes and pushed them aside, letting the glorious sunlight filter from the balcony view. Jeanne then hustled to her room and grabbed two robes, one for Lily as well.
Nodding in thanks, Lily turned back to James who was reading the paper. "Oops. My bad." James said shooting Sirius an annoyed look, who was desperately trying not to devour the pile of fresh pancakes. "We're on floor 26. I am extremely sorry for these disturbances."
Lily flashed a smile and replied, "No problem, glad we could be of some help." Calling out for Sirius (who was beside the pancakes) and Remus who was talking to Jeanne, James held out his hand to Lily and said, "I'm James Potter and those are my best friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." Lily grinned and said " Lily Evans and Jeanne Wang."
As Lily was about to shake his hand, James lowered his lips to her hand and murmured "Enchante" (Ahn-Shahn-Tay) [Meaning, nice to meet you.] Turning back to his friends, they followed and started to walk to cloud nine to continue upwards. Sirius' stomach gave a large rumble as he passed and Lily giggled. "James!" She called, "Sirius seems hungry. Would you like to join Jeanne and I for breakfast?" Sirius shot Lily a charming grin in which she gladly returned as Sirius told James, "I'm liking this girl already." James laughed and called to her that they were going to unpack and settle first.
With Sirius and Remus following, the threesome slowly mounted cloud nine and climbed up in the air to their suite. Once out of site, Jeanne signed and made a beeline for the shower. "Gahhh…I look like crap in the morning…how embarrassing.." She mumbled. Lily snorted and gently rebuked, "Nuh uhhh.. You look perfect as usual!" Jeanne just laughed and opened the door. Meanwhile, Lily set the table outside in the balcony outside since it was almost 11 and floated five plates as well as all the required materials.
Jeanne came out of the shower with her hair wet and tucked in a bun with a silver chopstick. Still wearing her fluffy pink terry robe, Jeanne hustled to her closet and chose to wear a pale blue knee length skirt with a white strappy tank top. Simple, yet wildly classical. Jeanne levitated the bottle of body spray and gave a short spritz. While Jeanne was applying a thin layer of eyeliner and powder, Lily waltzed in and applied a cleaning charm that worked in 3 seconds flat.
Jeanne scoffed and lightly flicked at Lily's forehead, " Don't be so lazy." Lily just laughed and took out white tailored trousers and a shimmery green silk tank top with off-the-shoulder-straps. Lily put on some dark green eyeliner and walked out. Jeanne took her time and then walked out onto the balcony, waiting for the three gentlemen.
"Well….That was very interesting." Jeanne remarked dryly as Lily snorted into her iced tea. With her wand, Lily opened the umbrella so that the sun wouldn't make them squint. " I saw you were talking to that Remus guy." Lily winked and poured some iced tea into Jeanne's tall cup. Jeanne just laughed and replied that Remus was only asking why she looked so familiar. " It turns out that His dad works with mine." Jeanne said matter-of-factly. Lily didn't say anything but rose up when she heard a knock at the door. Seconds later, following Lily was Sirius, Remus and James all casually dressed. They were looking a little bit tired but nonetheless happy to see food. Sirius bowed to Jeanne before sitting down and Remus laughed joked about how silly Sirius was. James sat down next to Lily and said, " Sorry for the wait, would you like some pancakes?" Lily laughed and replied, "It should be I who says that, but yes you may."
"So, what school do you go to?" Asked James who started the conversation. "Hogwarts," Lily replied. " It's a wonderful school—." James choked on his pancake while Lily fetched some water. " Lily, you go to Hogwarts?" Nearby Sirius, Remus and Jeanne stopped talking, hearing that Lily and Jeanne went to their school.
" Well yes, I'm going to be a 6th year this year." Lily flashed a grin at James who returned it amicably. "Well, Sirius, Remus and I are returning as 7th years. That would explain as to why we thought your names were familiar." James replied. "Get this Prongs!" Sirius called across from the table where Jeanne and he were sitting. " They're staying for the summer too!" Jeanne looked a little flushed, but that was only because she was talking to a guy.
When breakfast was over, James thanked Lily and Jeanne heartily again while Remus told Jeanne to ask for her father's well being. Sirius, being the hyper person that he was, gave Jeanne a bear hug in which she was caught by surprise and squealed when he picked her up. Sirius than bounded over to Lily and did the same where Lily laughed out loud and told Sirius he was welcome and told them to drop by often. Remus and James rolled their eyes, but grinning nonetheless.
Once back into their own suite where there it was quite a different atmosphere, James dropped onto the leather couch, eyes shutting. Sirius was much too happy to go to sleep and bounded around Remus (who was laying on the other couch) saying " Those girls are so cool. I wonder why we never noticed them at Hogwarts." Remus opened one eye and laughed, " Maybe You didn't, but Lily is actually quite popular. She's overall, a very happy girl and easy to get along with." James got up, his messy hair tousled even more than usual. " She's cool." He said simply.
Sirius sat down on the ottoman and said, distantly, " She's actually kind of flat. Did you notice?" James whacked Sirius with a pillow and as he yelped, James replied, " You're not supposed to look when she's not wearing real clothes!!" Hearing that, Remus started laughing and punched Sirius in the arm. " I saw you talking to Jeanne over there. Did you find anything interesting?" Sirius just laughed and shook his head. " She's really shy. I can't imagine why she won't talk more. I tried to get her to talk but she barely replied." Remus smiled and said, " She's actually really nice, but from what I hear from my mom, she's really shy towards guys."
Sirius whistled and then grinned. "Well then, we'll just have to show her that we are awesome people and she can trust us!" James groaned and knocked Sirius with another pillow saying, " You guys! Just be quiet…I need sleep…."
"Amen." Remus said, "Sirius, try to get some rest although you don't need it. Maybe we'll go out tonight." Sirius just laughed and left the room.
A/N: This is actually my first fanfic and I'm hoping to get some encouragement as well as pointers. As of now, I'm not sure EXACTLY what the plots going to be but I know it's going to span the entire summer they're in Mystique-Fairview. It basically shows that even if you're not perfect, there's someone out there for you. You just have to be patient. I really don't like how most fanfics portray Lily as absolutely perfect with a flawless body. I mean! No one's EXACTLY like that! We gotta be realistic ya know? We hafta just accept our own perfect bodies the way they are. Hope u enjoy!
