Chapter 4
Lily walked through the barrier in the platform nine and three quarters. She was back in the muggle
world. She looked over the crowd trying to spot her parents.
"Lily!" she heard someone call her. "Over here!" Lily turned around to see her father smiling face.
"Daddy!!!" shouted Lily running to her father's welcoming arms.
"How are you, my little flower?" he asked hugging her.
"I'm great, daddy. How about you?"
"I'm better now that you're here." He said as they walked out of Kings Cross. "I've missed you!"
"I missed you too, dad. How's mom?
"She's fine. A little stressed out about Petunia's engagement."
"Yeah, what else is new?" laughed Lily.
"Come on, little flower. Let's go home."
"Hey, James! What are you doing?" asked Sirius sitting beside his friend.
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking." said James.
"Oh, my God! The world's come to an end! James Potter is actually thinking!!" said Sirius with
mock surprise in his face.
'You're very funny, Black!" said James sarcastically.
"Thank you, thank you! I do my best!" joked Sirius. "Now, seriously, what are you thinking about?"
"Just some stuff." Said James.
"Ok, you don't wanna talk about it. I understand. I can take a hint, you know."
"Sorry, Padfoot."
"Oh, it's ok." Said Sirius. "If you ever wanna talk about it, I'm here."
"I know. Thanks, Padfoot."
"That's what friends are for, isn't it?"
"Hey, people." Said Bella.
"Hi." Said James and Sirius.
"We sorta had this idea and we were wondering if you guys are up for it." Said Brenda.
"What is it?" asked James.
"We wanted to make Lily a surprise, so we're going to spend New Year's Eve with her. Dumbledore
already gave us permission." Said Bella.
"What do you think?" asked Brenda.
"I'm in!" said James and Sirius immediately.
"Ok, then. We already talked to Remus. Do you know where Peter is?" asked Brenda.
"He went home for New Year's too." Sirius informed.
"Ok, then pack your bags. We're leaving tonight." Said Bella clapping her hands.
Later that day, Lily was reading "Hogwarts, a History" for like, the thousandth time, in her favorite
armchair by the fire in the living room. Suddenly, the book was thrown out of her hands and she looked at the
girl with horse-like face standing in front of her.
"Why the hell did you do that? I was reading!!" shouted Lily.
"I won't admit these freak books inside of this house!" said Petunia. "Actually, YOU shouldn't be
allowed here!" she said grinning.
"This is my house too and it's your bloody problem if you don't like magic!" Lily shouted losing her
temper. "Now get the fuck out of my sight!!!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Where are your manners, you freak?" said Petunia sarcastically. "Is that what you've
been learning all these years in that freak school of yours?" that was enough for Lily. Petunia was sent flying
across the room. "You freakish bitch!!! You are so dead! I'm so gonna tell mom and dad what you did!!"
Petunia yelled trying to get up.
"Go right ahead!!! See if I'm scared!" Lily yelled back. Suddenly, there was a noise and Petunia
screamed pointing at the fire. Lily turned around. The fire had turned green. "Oh, shit!" Lily said as a boy
with messy black hair came out of the fireplace. "James???"
"Hi, Lily." James said trying to clean his robes.
"What are you doing here??" asked Lily as another person came out of the fireplace. "Bella???"
"Hey, Lils!" said Bella hugging her friend. After Bella, Sirius came, then Brenda and last, came
Remus.
"Ok, what's going on here?" asked Lily confused.
"We came to keep you company, Lils!" said Brenda.
"So, Lilikins, is that one over there with horse-like face your sister?" asked Sirius pointing at
Petunia. Lily turned around and found Petunia pale as if she had seen a ghost and burst out laughing.
Petunia's face was priceless.
"Yes, Sirius, that's my sister!" Lily said and burst out laughing again.
"Lily, honey, what was that noise?" asked Rose Evans, lily's mom.
"It was nothing, mom." Lily said trying to stop laughing.
"Arabella, Brenda!!" said Rose hugging the girls. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to
be at school?"
"Hi, Mrs. Evans." Said Brenda and Bella. "We came to keep Lily company." Explained Brenda.
"Yeah, we have Dumbledore's permission." Said Bella.
"Oh, ok. Lily, won't you introduce these three young men to you mother?" asked Rose.
"Sure, mom. This is Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and James Potter." Said Lily. "Guys, this is my
mom, Rose Evans."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Evans." Said Sirius kissing her hand as the others rolled their eyes.
"You'll be staying until the end of the holidays, I presume." Rose said.
"If it's not a problem, I would like them to stay, mom." Lily asked with pleading eyes.
"Of course it's not a problem." Said Rose smiling. "Brenda and Arabella can sleep in your room and
the boys can sleep in the guests' room. Why don't you show them around?"
"Ok, come on, guys." Said Lily. James who was by her side, got closer to her and whispered in her
ear. "So, are you glad I came?" She looked at him and whispered back. "Maybe."
"Oh, come on, Lils! I know you are." James said putting an arm around her shoulders.
"Stop it, James." She whispered.
"Hey, you two! Hurry up! Let's put our bags in lily's room." Said Bella.
"We're coming." Said James. "We'll finish this later." He whispered to Lily and gave a soft kiss in
her cheek.
Lily couldn't sleep. She had had a nightmare with this baby that had a cut in his forehead in the form
of a lighting bolt. Realizing she wouldn't be able to sleep again, Lily decided to go downstairs to get some
water. On her way to the kitchen, she bumped into someone in the living room.
"What the hell???" she looked up. "What are you doing up, James?"
"Got thirsty. How about you?"
"I had a nightmare. Couldn't sleep anymore."
"What was it about?" asked James with a concerned look in his eyes.
"There was a lot of this weird green light and someone laughing. Then I saw this baby boy and he
was crying and had this big cut in his forehead. I know it sounds silly but something about that baby, the look
in his eyes, it was so familiar." Lily explained as they sat in the couch. "Weird, isn't it?"
"It was just a nightmare, Lily. You don't have to worry about it." James said putting an arm abound
Lily's shoulders. Once again, Lily relaxed at his touch. James noticed that and took her hand in his. "How did
this happen, Lils?"
"I don't know, James." Lily said softly.
"I don't know what the hell is going on with me. I mean, at the end of the summer, all I could think
about was new ways to pull pranks on you. Now, a couple of months later, I can't stop thinking about you. I
need you." Said James pulling her closer to him. As Lily didn't protest, he leaned down to kiss her. When
their lips met, it was Heaven. As the kiss grew passionately, James slid his hand in Lily's robe. At his touch
with her skin, Lily shivered and broke the kiss.
"James..."
"I know, I'm sorry." He said kissing her again.
"I'm just not ready."
"I know. I'm sorry, Lils. Don't worry, I won't do anything you don't want me to." As he said that,
Lily relaxed again and rested her head in his chest while James played with her hair.
"What are we going to do, James?"
"About what?" asked James kissing the top of her head.
"About this. About what's happening between us."
"I don't know. We'll figure it out eventually." James hadn't realized it yet, but slowly, he and Lily
were falling in love and neither of them had yet noticed it. They sat there enjoying each other's company,
until they fell asleep in each other's arms.
