Finding love

Chapter 7

Two days later, Lily was getting ready to leave to meet James when her Mother called.

"Hello," Lily said picking up the phone.

"Hello dear." Her mother said on the other end. It was usually her mother since everyone else just used the fire. "I was just calling to tell you Orlando was by. He said he would like to talk to you again but didn't know how to get a hold of you. I gave him your number."

"Oh, you did. You didn't say anything about me being a witch, did you?" Lily asked.

"No, of course not," He mother replied.

"Yum, mum, I've really got to go. I'm supposed to meet James." Lily said.

"Did something happen between the to of you?" Mrs. Evans asked.

"Yes, mum. We're back together, but I really have to go." Lily said. "Bye."

"Bye, dear," Her mother replied.

With that, Lily hung up the phone and walked out her front door. She quickly walked out on to Diagon Alley and towards the small café she was meeting James at. When she got close she could see James sitting at a small table waiting for her.

"Hi," Lily said as she sat down.

"Hi," James replied before leaning across the table to kiss her on the cheek.

They then began to talk about random things and ate a quick lunch. After they were finished, they walked slowly up Diagon Alley towards the Leaky Caldron, where they stopped of for a butterbeer. After that, James walked Lily back to her Door.

"Bye," Lily said as they stood at her front door. James then leaned in and kissed her.

"Bye," he replied after they broke the kiss. Lily smiled as she unlocked her door and walked into her flat.

She sat her keys door on her table before walking into her room; she slipped off her shoes just as the phone rang. She walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello." Lily said.

"Hi, Lily?" the voice on the other end said. "its Orlando."

"Hi," she replied.

"Your mother gave me your number, I hope you don't mind." Orlando said.

"Its fine, in fact she called earlier today and told me." Lily said.

"I was wondering if you'd like to meet me for lunch tomorrow." Orlando said.

"Just as friends, right, because I do have a boyfriend," Lily said.

"Of course, I saw the two of you, it was that guy you brought with you, and James was it?" he asked.

"Yes. So, were would you like to meet?" Lily asked.

"Well, where would you like to go? Anywhere in London is nice." He asked.

"Um, well, I don't go into London very much so I don't really know of all the good places to eat, so just tell me where you would like to meet." Lily said.

"Okay I know this lovely place, its near kings cross. How about we meet there and go from there?" Orlando said.

"That sounds great, so I'll see you around, twelve thirty?" Lily asked.

"That sounds good. See you then." Orlando said. "Bye."

"Bye," Lily replied before hanging up.

Lily arrived at King's Cross just on time. When she arrived she saw Orlando waiting for her off to side. She quickly walked up to him.

"Hello," Lily said walking up to him. She had worn a pair of plain jeans and a white shirt that matched. Since she spent so much time in the wizarding world for the past year, she had lost track of the muggle styles.

"Hi," Orlando said. "The café is down this way." He said pointed to the opposite direction in which Lily had come from. They walked together starting to talk about old times from when they were younger. They laughed and shared stories as they ate their lunch. It was a nice out door café. After they had finished eating they began to walk along one of the many streets of muggle London.

"Were to now?" Lily asked as they walked.

"How about we just walk some more so we can continue to catch up?" Orlando replied.

"Remember how I use to call you orli?" Lily said.

"Yes I do, I hated at first, but after awhile I began to love it." He replied.

"Yep, and so from the time we were ten to the time I left for my last year of school, I called you Orli." Lily added.

"Where do you live now since you moved out from your parents?" Orli asked.

"I have a small flat that close to wear I work." Lily replied.

"Where do you work?" he asked.

"I work at an old book store. It's really boring. Know one ever comes in. I was even surprised to see my old friend Sirius there one day. After all, for as long as I've known him I've never known him to go into a book store willingly." Lily said laughing. "When we use to go for our school supplies, I'd see his other friend Remus dragging him in to buy his books. It was quite a funny site."

"Did the four of you always get along so well?" Orli asked.

"no, and there use to be five of us, but Peter, hasn't really been around much, but then again neither have I. I didn't see them for almost a year." Lily said.

"Why was that?" Orli asked.

"Well, you see, in our last year of school James and I were a couple and in fact we were engaged." Lily started.

"But I can see by your had that that your neither engaged or married." Orlando said.

"Yes, we broke up right after we graduated. We weren't even engaged for a day." Lily said. "We were so in love, but it didn't work out for us just then."

"What happened?" Orli asked.

"Sirius's ex-girlfriend, well she was his girlfriend at the time, tricked James. She kissed and I blame it on him. What I didn't know was that he was trying to get her off of him." Lily finished.

"And yet you're giving him a second chance?" Orli asked.

"Yes I am. I guess when you're in love your always willing to try again and again until it works." Lily said.

"You also do crazy things when you're in love." Orlando said before leaning in and kissing Lily on the lips. For some strange reason, Lily didn't pull back instead she kissed him back. What they didn't know, was that someone had just started to watch them and as they broke apart the young man watching them turned and walked away.

"This is wrong." Lily said as the broke the kiss. "I'm with James. I love James. I'm sorry." Lily said before quickly kissing him on the cheek. "good- bye." And with that, Lily turned and walked away towards the Leaky Caldron.
