Chapter 5
"Well, well, well..." said Sirius grinning. "Look, what we've got here, guys."
"I knew it!!!" shouted Bella which caused James and Lily to wake up.
"What?" asked Lily sleepily. She looked up and saw her four friends grinning widely. Then she
looked at James who had his arms around her. "It's not what it looks like!!!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, God!" groaned James. "Sirius, stop grinning. It's not what you think!"
"Oh, of course it isn't, Prongs. We just found you and our lovely Lilikins sleeping in each other's
arms but you're not together. Yeah, it kinda makes sense." Said Sirius sarcastically.
"We're serious!!!" said Lily.
"You got that one wrong, Lilikins. I am Sirius." Said Sirius with a huge grin. (A/N: sorry, I couldn't
resist not putting this Sirius's joke.)
"I mean it, Sirius! I came downstairs last night cause I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep anymore.
Then I bumped into James, who had come to get some water. We started talking and ended up falling asleep."
Explained Lily.
"That's exactly what happened." Added James.
"Yeah, sure." Said Brenda and Bella.
"If you two say so." Said Remus and Sirius.
"We're not together!!!" exclaimed Lily and James, but deep down in their hearts that was exactly
what they wanted.
------------------------------------------------------------****------------ ------------------------------------------------------
A couple of days later, it was the day that Petunia's engagement party would take place. Petunia was
even more annoying than usual just because James and Sirius had dropped some dungbombs in her room.
"Petunia, darling, Vernon is here!!" called Richard Evans, Lily and Petunia's father.
"I'm coming, daddy!!" yelled Petunia from her room. Lily and her friends were in Lily's room and
overheard when Richard called Petunia.
"Something tells me this is gonna be a very long night." Lily said. "Come on, I have to meet my
future brother-in-law." Brenda, Bella and the boys opened their mouths to protest. "Don't even think about it!
You're coming with me!"
Once they got downstairs, they found Vernon Dursley, Petunia's future husband, who happened to be
a very large man with a huge moustache, and his sister, Marge Dursley, who was equally large and had an
equally huge moustache.
"Vernon, Marge, this is my youngest daughter, Lily, and these are her friends Arabella Figg, Brenda
Peterson, James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." Introduced Richard. "Guys, these are Vernon
Dursley and his sister Marge."
"Nice to meet you." Lily said while her friends simply nodded.
"Nice to meet you too." Said Marge looking at the Marauders, especially at James which got Lily
slightly jealous, though she wouldn't admit it.
"Erm..." Lily didn't know what to say and looked at her friends asking for help.
"So, Vernon, what do you do?" asked Sirius trying to start a conversation.
"I work in a drill company." Said Vernon
"It must be very interesting." Said James not having a clue about what a drill was.
"It is indeed. I hope to be the company's president some day."
"I'm sure you will." Said Lily still not understanding what the hell her sister had seen in that guy.
"Hey, Lils, don't we have to see something in the backyard?" said Brenda.
"Do we?" asked Remus.
"Yes, we do. Mrs. Evans asked us to help her with something remember?" helped Bella.
"Of course!" said Lily. "Vernon, Marge, it was a pçeasure to meet you. We'll see you guys later."
She said as Brenda pulled her to the kitchen. Once they got there, they looked at each other and burst out
laughing.
"My God, Lily, what did your sister see in that guy??" asked Brenda laughing.
"I don't know, Bren, but it obviously wasn't his looks that got her!" laughed Lily.
"Geez, I don't even want to think what their kids are gonna be like!" said Sirius making the others
laugh harder.
"What about his sister! She looks like a bulldog or soemthing!" said James.
"Yeah and I noticed she kept looking at you, James!" said Remus.
"Of course she kept looking at me, Moony. I'm the most charming wizard in England!"
"Yeah, sure." Muttered Lily.
"Oh, I finally found you!" said Rose Evans entering the kitchen. "I need you guys to do some things
for me. I need two of you to go to London to get the cake, two to help me here in the kitchen and two to set
the tables in the backyard."
"Ok, Bella and I can set the tables." Said Sirius. "Is it ok with you, Bella?
"Sure." Bella said.
"Remus and I can help you in the kitchen, Mrs. Evans." Said Brenda.
"Ok, then Lily you go with James to London. You can use your father's car." Said Rose.
"Really? Can I, mom???" asked Lily excited.
"Yes, but please, drive carefully!" pleaded Rose.
"I will, mom, don't worry." Said Lily getting the car keys and pulling James by the hand. When Lily
and James left, Rose turned to Bella, Brenda, Remus and Sirius.
"Are they dating or something?" asked Rose
"Not that we know. But if they are, they have our support." Said Sirius.
"Why?" asked Rose interested.
"Since first year they claim that they're enemies and hate each other. But we've always known they
were perfect for each other." Said Brenda.
"And after this summer, when we got back to Hogwarts, something's changed between them, and
they're acting friendlier towards one another." Explained Bella.
"Oh, I do hope they get together. They make such a cute couple and James seems to be a very nice
young man."
"He is, indeed." Said Brenda. "Don't worry. They will get together. It's meant to be. We're sure.
--------------------------------------------------------*****--------------- ---------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Lily and James were on their way to London. Most of the ride they were both silent,
each drowned in their own thoughts. After an hour or so, James decided to say something cause the constant
silence was freaking him out.
"Erm... Lily?"
"Yes?" Lily said not taking her eyes off the road.
"Do you think they believed in us?
"I guess so. But we were telling the truth weren't we? I mean, we're not officially together, right?"
"Yeah, but they must've noticed we're not fighting as much as we used to."
"Yeah, you're right." Said Lily. "Do you think they suspect something? I mean if something
happened between us?"
"Probably."
"So, what do we do?" Should we tell them that we snogged a couple of times?"
"No, not for a while. We have to figure out what's happening between us first." Said James lookinh
at her. "But we can keep it the way it is right now. We can make it our secret." He said grinning.
"I guess it's ok for now." She said smiling as she parked the car. "Come on, let's get this cake." They
got out of the car and crossed the street holding hands and entered the store. "Excuse me, sir." Lily said to the
old man behind the counter.
"Good afternoon." Said the old man smiling at them. "What can I do for you?"
"We're here to get a cake. My mom ordered it. Her name is Rose Evans." Lily said as James, who
was standind behind her, hugged her.
"Oh, sure. You just wait a minute, I'll go get it."
"Ok." Said Lily.
"So, excited about your sister's party?" James asked kissing the top of her head.
"Hardly. I still can't believe she's gonna marry that guy." Lily said turning around to face him.
"Me neither, but you know what, they make such a cute couple!" teased James.
"Yeah, I mean, she looks like a horse and he looks like a whale."laughed Lily. "Ew! Just imagine
their kids! EW!!!"
"Geez, Lils, that's just.... gross!!" laughed James. "You know what?"
"What?"
"You and I make a cuter couple than they do."
"I totally agree." Lily said kissing him.
"Wow, Lily, you're actually kissing me in public. That's such an improvement!" he said in mock
surprise.
"You're a funny guy, Potter." She said playfully hitting in his arm.
"Lily Evans?? Is that really you?" they heard a female voice behind them. Lily turned around. "Are
you Lily Evans?" she asked again.
"Yes, I am. And you are..."
"I'm Linda Lansen. I'm your mother's friend. We lived next door to you when you were little. God,
you're so big! How are you?" Linda asked.
"I'm fine. How about you?"
"I'm great. How's your mother?"
"She's ok, just a little stressed out, you know, my sister is getting married and all..."
"Little Petunia is getting married??? That's wonderful!!!" Lily was getting really annoyed. The
woman wouldn't stop talking for a second.
"Mom, can we go already?" a boy that looked a little older than Lily and James asked Linda as he
entered the store.
"Jason, sweetheart, come here a second." Linda called her son. "You remember Lily Evans don't
you? She's Rose's daughter."
"Of course! How are you, Lily?" asked Jason eyeing Lily from her red hair to her toes which made
her feel really uncomfortable.
"I'm fine, thanks." Said Lily.
"So, Lily, who is this handsome young man?" asked Linda.
"I'm James Potter, ma'am. Nice to meet you." Said James as the old man returned with the cake so
Lily gave him the money and handed the cake to James.
"We really have to go now, Mrs. Lansen. Petunia's engagement party will start soon and we have to
bring this cake home before the party starts." Said Lily.
"Oh, ok, maybe we'll go to this party. I wanted to talk to Rose." Linda said.
"Ok, bye." Said Lily as she followed James out of the store.
On their way back home Lily was telling James about this Linda Lansen.
"Geez, I thought she wasn't gonna stop talking for a minute there. And her son, he was checking me
out in front of his mother, for God's sake! And to think my mom wanted me to marry him when I was little."
"I noticed he didn't take his eyes off of you."
"A little jealous, are we?" teased Lily.
"Yeah, maybe a little. I mean, who does he think he is to go flirting with my secret girlfriend?"
"You don't have to be jealous, James. I won't marry him."
"Better!" James said with relief.
-----------------------------------------------------------*****------------ -----------------------------------------------------
"Finally!!!" yelled Sirius when he saw Lily and James getting out of the car. "I thought you two had
gotten lost or something!"
"It's a long way to London, Sirius." Said Lily as she walked in to the kitchen. "Hey, mom."
"Hi, sweetheart. Got the cake?" asked Rose.
"Yeah, guess who we ran into in the store." Said Lily as James put the cake in the kitchen table.
"Who?"
"Linda Lansen."
"Oh, my God! We haven't talked in ages! How is she?" asked Rose excited.
"Oh, she's great. She's really talkative actually." Said Lily annoyed as James glared at her. "She said
she might show up for the party."
"Oh, great! I can't wait to talk to her!" said Rose.
"Where are Remus and Brenda?" James asked Sirius.
"Oh, they're probably off snogging somewhere." Said Sirius grinning.
"Sirius!!" said Bella who had just entered the kitchen.
"What? I'm telling the truth!" protested Sirius.
"Whatever you say, Padfoot." Said James.
"Hey, Bella, we should go get ready for the party." Said Lily.
"But you still have an hour before the party!" said Sirius.
"AN HOUR??? Oh, my God, we're so screwed!" said Bella. "If you guys see Brenda, tell her to go
to Lily's room right away!!"
"Ok." Said James and Sirius. "Women!" they rolled their eyes at each other.
------------------------------------------------------*****----------------- -------------------------------------------
Thirty minutes later, Brenda had appeared and was getting dressed with Bella and Lily. Lily was
wearing a dark green dress and had her red hair up in a ponytail. Brenda was wearing a light yellow dress and
had her brown hair down just Bella who was wearing a blue dress.
"So, Lils, what happened between you and James in that Little trip to London?" asked Brenda.
"Nothing happened." Said Lily trying to sound casual.
"Are you sure?" asked Bella lookling suspicious.
"Of course I'm sure! Why do you ask that?"
"It's just that you've been acting really weird lately." Said Brenda. "Both of you."
"No, we haven't." said Lily. "Now let's get this over with, shall we?" she said trying to change the subject.
"Whatever." Said Bella and Brenda rolling their eyes.
----------------------------------------------------------------*****------- ------------------------------------------------------
The party had started a while ago and the guests were slowly arriving. Lily, Bella and Brenda were
talking to the boys. They were sitting in a table near the pool in the backyard. James was sitting between
Remus and Lily. Marge Dursley was sitting in a table near them and she was desperately trying to flirt with
James. Lily noticed that and poked James to show him what Vernon's sister was doing.
"I guess she liked you." Lily whispered in James's ear.
"Oh well. What can I do?" James whispered back.
"What are you two whispering?" asked Remus.
"Marge is flirting with Potter here!" Lily said laughing.
"You know what, Prongs, you and Marge make such a cute couple!!" teased Sirius.
"Shut up, Padfoot!"
"I'll go get a drink. You guys want anything?" asked Lily.
"There's no butterbeer, is there?" asked Bella.
"No, Bella." Said Lily grinning.
"Then bring us a soda or something." Said Brenda.
"I'll go help you, Evans." Said James. Lily glared at him.
"Ok, come on, Potter." She said dryly. Once they were out of their friends' sight, Lily pulled her to a
kiss. "Are you crazy, James? They're gonna get suspicious!"
"I just wanted to kiss you!" said James in a childish voice. Lily kissed him.
"Happy now?"
"Very!"
"Then let's go!" said Lily pulling him by the hand.
"Erm... Lils?"
"Yeah?"
"You're holding my hand. We're not supposed to do this here remember?" James said smiling.
"Right, sorry." She said blushing. He kissed her. "We're not supposed to do this here either, Mr.
Potter." She said grinning. He kissed her again. "Ok, let's get those drinks."
When Lily and James were returning to their table, Lily accidentally bumped into someone. She
looked up and saw a blonde boy with blue eyes looking at her with awe in his eyes.
"Lily Evans, wow! You look stunning!" It was Jason, Linda Lansen's son.
"Hi, Jason." Lily said dryly.
"Would you like to dance with me?" asked Jason seductively.
"Sorry, but I can't. Our friends are waiting for us." Said Lily. "Come on, James." Soon they were
back at their table.
"What took you guys so long?" asked Sirius.
"Someone kept us." Said James.
"Who?" asked Bella.
"Jason. He's my mom's friend's son. He's disgusting!"
"I guess he has a crush on Evans!" teased James.
"God, I hope not!!" exclaimed Lily. 'Me too.' James thought.
Slowly the table was getting empty as Bella and Sirius as well as Remus and Brenda were dancing.
That left Lily and James finally alone. Lily thought that James looked incredibly handsome that night. He was
wearing a tuxedo and his hair was messy as usual.
"You know what, James?" she asked.
"What, Lils?"
"You look really handsome tonight." She said smiling.
"Why thank you Ms. Evans. You look incredibly beautiful yourself." He said smiling. "I already told you that didn't I?
"Yeah, about a thousand times tonight." Smiled Lily.
"Oh no. Disgusting Jason coming this way!" said James.
"He's gonna ask me to dance again!" she said. "Let's go dance, James. Please!"
"Are you sure? Because all of our friends are there. They're gonna notice it."
"I don't care. I just wanna stay away from this jerk!"
"Ok, then." James said pulling Lily by the hand onto the dance floor. A slow music was playing so
James put his arms around Lily's waist while Lily had her arms around James's neck and was resting her head
in his chest.
"I say they are snogging!" said Sirius looking at James and Lily.
"No doubt about it!" said Remus.
"They look so cute together." Said Bella.
" They're perfect for each other." Said Brenda
"I get to be the best man in their wedding!!!" shouted Sirius.

"Well, well, well..." said Sirius grinning. "Look, what we've got here, guys."
"I knew it!!!" shouted Bella which caused James and Lily to wake up.

looked at James who had his arms around her. "It's not what it looks like!!!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, of course it isn't, Prongs. We just found you and our lovely Lilikins sleeping in each other's
arms but you're not together. Yeah, it kinda makes sense." Said Sirius sarcastically.
"We're serious!!!" said Lily.
"You got that one wrong, Lilikins. I am Sirius." Said Sirius with a huge grin. (A/N: sorry, I couldn't
resist not putting this Sirius's joke.)
"I mean it, Sirius! I came downstairs last night cause I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep anymore.
Then I bumped into James, who had come to get some water. We started talking and ended up falling asleep."

"Of course she kept looking at me, Moony. I'm the most charming wizard in England!"
"Yeah, sure." Muttered Lily.
"Oh, I finally found you!" said Rose Evans entering the kitchen. "I need you guys to do some things

"I just wanted to kiss you!" said James in a childish voice. Lily kissed him.
"Happy now?"
"Very!"
"Then let's go!" said Lily pulling him by the hand.
"Erm... Lils?"
"Yeah?"
"You're holding my hand. We're not supposed to do this here remember?" James said smiling.
"Right, sorry." She said blushing. He kissed her. "We're not supposed to do this here either, Mr.
Potter." She said grinning. He kissed her again. "Ok, let's get those drinks."
When Lily and James were returning to their table, Lily accidentally bumped into someone. She
looked up and saw a blonde boy with blue eyes looking at her with awe in his eyes.
"Lily Evans, wow! You look stunning!" It was Jason, Linda Lansen's son.
"Hi, Jason." Lily said dryly.
"Would you like to dance with me?" asked Jason seductively.
"Sorry, but I can't. Our friends are waiting for us." Said Lily. "Come on, James." Soon they were
back at their table.
"What took you guys so long?" asked Sirius.
"Someone kept us." Said James.
"Who?" asked Bella.
"Jason. He's my mom's friend's son. He's disgusting!"
"I guess he has a crush on Evans!" teased James.
"God, I hope not!!" exclaimed Lily. 'Me too.' James thought.
Slowly the table was getting empty as Bella and Sirius as well as Remus and Brenda were dancing.
That left Lily and James finally alone. Lily thought that James looked incredibly handsome that night. He was
wearing a tuxedo and his hair was messy as usual.
"You know what, James?" she asked.
"What, Lils?"
"You look really handsome tonight." She said smiling.
"Why thank you Ms. Evans. You look incredibly beautiful yourself." He said smiling. "I already told you that didn't I?
"Yeah, about a thousand times tonight." Smiled Lily.
"Oh no. Disgusting Jason coming this way!" said James.
"He's gonna ask me to dance again!" she said. "Let's go dance, James. Please!"
"Are you sure? Because all of our friends are there. They're gonna notice it."
"I don't care. I just wanna stay away from this jerk!"
"Ok, then." James said pulling Lily by the hand onto the dance floor. A slow music was playing so
James put his arms around Lily's waist while Lily had her arms around James's neck and was resting her head
in his chest.
"I say they are snogging!" said Sirius looking at James and Lily.
"No doubt about it!" said Remus.
"They look so cute together." Said Bella.
" They're perfect for each other." Said Brenda
"I get to be the best man in their wedding!!!" shouted Sirius.
