Disclaimer: Once again, reminding everyone that Jeanne is Mine and only MINE…mwhahahah! Ok..that's getting old. I still think James is mine. (haha in my own little world.)


After several weeks, James, Lily, Sirius and Jeanne got to know each other so much better. Lily quickly learned that since James, Sirius and Remus' parents were several of the few most powerful and wealthy ancient wizarding families. They were mostly cared for by the house elves, and not by their parents, which gave them a lot of freedom to see each other. Lily also learned that they would soon be inheriting the multigalleon legacy that their line of pureblood created. They weren't close to their parents, at all which made them a bit uncomfortable to talk about their families. But that was fine with Lily and Jeanne because they were pressured at home too.

Jeanne and Sirius had gotten much closer than Jeanne and James. As far as Jeanne knew, James and her were quite distant simply acknowledging their presences or creating small talk; not really what Lily and James had.

Jeanne laid back in the sun wearing a modest pale yellow tube bikini with a mesh sarong skirt, the rays shining gloriously, warming her body to a glow.  Sirius was quite a sweetheart and it aggravated her to ask herself every so often if he was only being nice or actually flirting. Usually, she'd be so embarrassed to be wearing so little in front of men but, after these couple of weeks, she'd found that Sirius was afraid to love again, after having found his only first girlfriend cheat on him with an asshole from another school while he was away for the summer. It was actually quite a sad story. Sirius had thought that she was The One and had given his first kiss to her, something that Jeanne realized was also very important to guys. After Sirius found out that the girl that James was sweet on, was doing the same thing, they both vowed to never date until they actually found The One. The only difference was that Sirius had lost his Kiss while James still kept his. It didn't matter though, because Lily and herself as well had never been touched either. Complete virgins with virgin lips as well, Jeanne knew that Lily and herself wanted to keep it that way for their future husbands.

But no matter, Sirius was still a happy camper, looking out for his best friends and making life go on. It was such a pleasure to have sunshine in your life, Jeanne mused, both referring to the Sun and Sirius.

Now James was another story. He was quite sensitive and more of a quiet thinker. However whenever you got him riled up, he could be as hyper as----Lily. Jeanne knew that Sirius, James and Remus had many talents because it was required that they be well rounded in talent, intellect and skill. But, James kept so much inside of him until you made him come out, which was what Lily did to him. It was quite funny actually. While Sirius had to bring out the hyper Jeanne, Lily definitely brought out the hyper James. However, Jeanne knew for a fact that Lily had no feelings that crossed friendship, for James and from what Sirius described, neither did James.

The few weeks, Jeanne started to get worried though. She knew that her feelings for Sirius had definitely crossed just friendship, maybe even touched the idea of love. Definitely as a friend, but could it be more? Shaking the thought out of her head, Jeanne adjusted her sunglasses and came back from her imagination.

The four of them were on the beach, surrounded by a few other happy tourists who were either playing volleyball, reading or wading in the ocean. Beside her, Sirius lay, fallen asleep with his book over his head. Although Sirius was very hyper and acted impulsively, he enjoyed reading literature very much so and was highly intellectual during Hogwarts. Jeanne had asked him on several topics in which she was forced to read during her childhood and found that a literary discussion with Sirius was actually possible.

Jeanne laughed and took the book off his head. Underneath the book, Sirius still had his designer Ralph Lauren sunglasses on. Jeanne tried not to look at Sirius' lean body sculpted with the effort of Quidditch. Even if she maybe liked Sirius, there was nothing she could do. Usually it was like this, she was shy and the boy would never notice her. Jeanne turned to the pile of sand where Lily was burying what looked like James.

Lily lugged over another bucket of wet sand and hulled it over the slowly increasing pile of sand over James.

" Lily, how long is this going to take?" Laughed James, trying to shake sand out of his messy hair. Lily pretended to think and then said, " I just have to bury your feet and you'll be fine!" Lily ran off to grab more wet sand, leaving James to roll his eyes and try to move his hands, which were also under the sand.

After about 30 minutes, James was completely under the sand, and only his head was left out. Lily was carefully applying sunblock lotion to his face and put on his expensive sunglasses. After another few minutes, Lily stood up and brushed off her 'what-used-to-be' emerald green two-piece halter-top and ran to the sea to clean off. James watched after her, struggled and struggled but couldn't get up. Finally giving up and muttering why on earth he let Lily do this to him, he yelled to a sleeping Sirius, "PADFOOT! Yo Sirius! Help me get up!"

Jeanne looked up and started laughing, shaking Sirius awake to see what kind of position James was in. Spluttering, Sirius started laughing hysterically and ran towards the mound with alacrity, sat on James. Now James was spluttering while Jeanne, giggling, glided over with Lily at her side. Lily took pity on seeing Sirius laughing at a spluttering James and pushed him off, scooping some of the sand off James.

Suddenly James leapt up from the sand, the sand still clinging to his body and chased after Lily, hearing her scream and squeal with laughter. Lily, being the smart witch that she was, ran straight towards the water and ran as far as she could with James behind her and Sirius and Jeanne behind him. James, not really intending on getting Lily dirty in less if she wanted him to, sank down into the cooling laps of water. Lily laughed and splashed him, hearing him rise up in mock indignation.

Sirius' stomach grumbled again as they realized that no one had bought food. It was about noon and neither people had thought about food, just the desire to go and have a beach bash. Jeanne volunteered to fly back to the suites and whip up some sandwiches and snacks while Sirius said he would accompany her. Hearing this, James just said that he would go find a spot for them to have a picnic on.

As soon as Sirius and Jeanne had left, he called to Lily to walk with him to find a shadier spot since the sun was now beaming brightly. Lily walked beside him, occasionally bumping into him because of the unevenness of the sand. His navy blue trunks with silver lining were made of a cloth that magically repelled water so they were dry already while Lily was still soaked.

" Here's a good spot don't you think?" James grinned and sat down at a sort-of secluded area guarded by Palm trees. Lily plopped down beside him, the sand sticking to her again and stretched out. " I'm so hungry, hope Jeanne hurries up."

James just laughed and pulled out his want from his trunks' wand pocket. (Yes, they were designer wizarding labels) Using his polished, gold engraved J.Potter wand, he transfigured a stick into a guitar. Lily watched in awe as he started to just strum lightly on the strings.

" You can play? Splendid!" Lily exclaimed delightedly. James smiled and started to sing softly. It was a song that Lily did not recognize but she liked the melody. She strained to listen and realized that James was singing in French. " Oh my gosh. You can speak French as well?" Lily joked. " Is there anything you can't do?" James stopped and chuckled, " No, I'm absolutely perfect and you should bow down to me." He said with gentle sarcasm. Lily smiled and whacked him lightly on his arm. He continued strumming on the guitar to I could sing of your love forever while Lily hummed along.

"What are you going to do when you're out of Hogwarts?" Lily asked curiously. James looked up without stopping his melody and replied  " Hmm…I'll probably have to take over my Father's business. Why?" Lily shook her head and just shrugged, " Just wondering."

" What about you?" James looked at Lily.

" Eh….well…My parent's want me to have a MediDegree which means they'll probably want me to become some sort of Doctor, whether muggle or magical." Lily answered. " But I probably wouldn't mind that either. I guess I dream of becoming a powerful business witch who's totally in charge of an industry. I don't know… fashion or something. You know..?"

James nodded. " I guess in the end, I'd rather settle down and play Quidditch, relax in the sun…."

Lily laughed and replied, " Don't we all. Jeanne and I came here purposely to get away from all the pressure at home. It's always been a dream when we were younger to just travel to Europe and stay for awhile, to relax."

James looked thoughtful for a while, " Yeah..Remus, Sirius and I always go on vacations during the summer to just have fun."

Just after that, Jeanne and Sirius plopped from the broom that they rode back on and unhooked the picnic basket.

" So you put a relocation charm on us didn't you?" James said grinning.

" Well yeah…didn't want you and your girl to forget about time know would you?" Sirius shot back winking.

Lily and James both rolled their eyes and laughing  "whatever."

Jeanne had prepared an excellent meal, as usual. It had taken her about 10 seconds to whip up cucumber sandwiches and pate with crackers as well as little pieces of biscuits layered with spices and diced tomato, drizzled in buttery garlic sauce. She had also squeezed in a fondue pot in which melted cheese and chocolate was already made and warmed up. James looked inside the basket and found the plates of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and pineapples, and set it on the tablecloth. (Thoughtfully transfigured by James from a napkin) As he reached in again, he pulled out four champagne glasses, a bottle of what looked like wine and a plate of fluffy, diced bread. Raising an eyebrow at Jeanne and Sirius, James remarked dryly, " You naughty girls…I never thought you were the type."

Jeanne made a sound of protest and rebutted, " Read the label, it's sparkling apple juice! Lily and I always have some before meals."

"Suuuure…." Sirius nodded and pretended to ponder heavily. " That's what you WANT us to think. You just want us to see your little innocent façade---."

Jeanne had snorted back laughter and slapped Sirius on the shoulder while Sirius pretended to pout and ask for a band-aid. Nonetheless, lunch was very enjoyable and Jeanne had fallen asleep while Sirius was reading another novel. Few steps away, James was playing his guitar and Lily was just listening to him, off in her own little world.

James watched Lily while strumming his guitar. Music seemed to calm her a lot. He could tell that she enjoyed music even when she didn't notice it. Lily had a fiery spirit. She was so passionate about everyone, about life, and especially her loved ones. James could now see why Remus said she was always surrounded in Hogwarts. There was just a warm radiance about her that made people feel comfortable and talk. True, she didn't have a model's body, but then again, who wanted to be in the company of someone who didn't eat? Lily definitely wasn't skinny, but she was also most definitely not fat. True, she did have full thighs and a round behind, but guys liked curves. James shook these things out of his head, it wasn't right for him to think about girls this way. Lily was just a good friend. He shouldn't think about girls this way, especially after Marianne…..his ex who had hurt him so badly. Even Lily knew that. He had told Lily just a few days ago.

The nice thing about Lily was that he could talk to her about anything. Almost like the opposite of himself, Lily had excellent intrapersonal skills, meaning that she was a people person; whereas James, himself, was more of the Intelligent without trying type. While Lily could persuade anyone to do anything, (partially because of her personality as well) James could excel at any subject. However, when it came to tests and school, Lily would shrink back, her confidence gone. James mused that whenever he had to confront girls or anything about friends, besides his close 'brothers', his confidence would be gone too.

Lily had once confided in him that she use cried a lot during times at school, always when no one was looking though. James had felt sympathy for her, knowing that a girl who brought so much happiness with her smile, to the world, shouldn't ever stop smiling; and tugged one of her dark red braids as a form of fondness. Likewise, when James had been troubled with bad memories, Lily had flung her arms around him and hugged him tightly, throwing him off by surprise, not knowing weather if he should hug back or not. But Lily didn't mind. She didn't expect to receive, but she definitely gave.

"James." Lily murmured, lifting her head from her arms in which she was dozing off by the company of the music. " Do you think you'll ever get married?"

Her question caught him totally by surprise and he really didn't know how to answer. Being the cynical person he was (because of the Marianne), James answered, " I honestly have no idea." Lily, who wasn't expecting that answer since James was rather good looking and would have no trouble having a wife at all, looked up startled and exclaimed, "Why?!"

James shrugged and said softly, " You know me….GIRLS ARE EVIL." He cracked a smile while Lily rolled her eyes and shot back. " Not ALL girls are evil, you just have to find the right one." James just laughed and fumbled with the guitar strings.

After a moment of comfortable silence as well as calming melodies from James' guitar, James asked "What about you?"

" I know I want a husband," Lily confessed haltingly. " I'm scared to just….be alone when I grow up. But I'm also scared to make the first move you know? To be rejected… or when if the time comes, to get divorced."

A groan emitted from the sound of Sirius' mouth as he stretched out of his position and brushed the sand from his book, making James and Lily look his way.

" Is it time to go now?" Sirius asked, gently nudging Jeanne awake. " We've been here for a loooong time."

Sure enough it was 4 pm and Jeanne sat up, a bit groggy. " Oh that's right…Lily and I have plans tonight." Lily's eyes lit up and she hastily scrambled up, pulling James up as well and walked over to Jeanne's side.

" That's right! Me and Jeanne have to go! We'll see you guys later!" With that, Lily took Jeanne's arm and ran towards the brooms, pushing off and soaring off into the sky.

James and Sirius got their wands out and put everything back in the picnic basket, attaching it to the broom so they could go back to their suite as well.
