the plot, and any OCs
Lily:
Lily and James walked outside, into the crowded store. The quidditch pitch was hidden behind an enchanted bookcase in an ordinary bookstore. No muggles ever realized anything different about the owner, a pudgy Irish wizard. He waved in greeting to James, who he had not seen come in before. Lily sighed deeply.
The pudgy storekeeper, Kevin Finnigan by name, glanced quickly at Lily and gave James a wink and a thumbs up. James mimed projectile vomiting and shook his head. Lily gave him a very nasty look and stormed out onto the dreary muggle street. The sky, which had looked very sunny and blue only minutes before, now looked stormy. A raindrop hit Lily square on the nose, and she frowned.
James came out of the shop, and grinned meekly at Lily. She looked away, obviously in anger. He stepped next to her and looked up at the sky.
"It looks like it's gonna be a big storm," he said with some amount of dreariness in his voice, "We better apperate back to the house, Evans."
Lily looked at her feet, and mumbled something that James couldn't hear.
"Sorry, didn't quite catch that"
"I don't know, uh, how to, uh, apperate"
"You're kidding! Everyone in our year passed the test!"
"Well, I didn't.I, um, just don't think that it's safe."
If James suspected something false in her explanation, he said nothing. He looked at her questioningly though.
"We'll just have to get home another way, the muggle way," Lily said quickly, as if she didn't want there to be any doubt of her plan, "We can take thebus."
The nearest major station was at Tottenham Court, but that was half a mile away. The rain soon started pouring down, but they kept walking.
"Oy! Lily!"
"Yes, Potter?"
"Two things: first, can you please slow down, I cant keep up; second, aren't you cold?"
"Of course I'm cold, James, I am only wearing a T-shirt!"
"Well, then, do you want my jacket, I have a jumper underneath."
"Thank you James, by the way that is the first time we've called each other by our first names."
"Isn't that strange, well, not really as we've hated each other all these years."
"I suppose so."
Lily took the jacket from James and put it on. It was warm, the cold instantly disappeared from her body.
"And, Lily?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry about what I did in the shop."
"You should be."
James: The journey back to Godric's Hollow was a long one. Lily sat away from James on the bus, reading. She and James had come to a temporary cease- fire, but it was soon broken when James tripped Lily and she fell into a muddy puddle. He sat in the seat, staring at the back of her head. He thought about Narcissa and shuddered.
I can't believe she thinks she has a chance with me! I mean, she is quite pretty, but as if I would date our rival's seeker! And, she isn't my type, exactly. I mean, she isn't even very pretty. She deserves someone like Snivellus.
His thoughts were interrupted by a sharp knock on his head. Lily had hit him with her book.hard!
"Ow! Bloody Hell, Evans, that hurt."
"Potter, it's our stop!"
They clambered off the bus, arguing about how many rolls of parchment McGonagall had requested for her essay. The rain had passed over, and the sun was now shining through the clouds. They walked another few blocks before they came in sight of the magnificent house again. Lily had never seen such a large and beautiful home in her life. James just yawned and stepped through the gate.
Once inside, the two stopped to read the note left on the counter for them.
Dear Lily and James,
We are sorry that we can't be there to help you shop today, but we have to work in order to feed James (and believe me, that takes a lot of food). But we trust you two to go into Diagon Alley and not get into trouble.
James: You need all of your new books, new robes, a new cauldron, and DON'T FORGET!!! More underwear.
Lily: I have left enough money for you to get the best new robes, books, and anything else you might need. We also decided that as a special treat, we'll buy you a new broom. Don't worry about repaying us, just keep cooking your wonderful food.
Hugs and Kisses! -Dori and Sam
Ok many many many appologies for not updating. I've been on vacation, and then tryouts for cheerleading (which I made-yay!)
Also, I need beta people. Email me at Mizpotatahead@cox.net if you are interested. Also, especially if you are British, please tell me so that I (the hopeless American) can get the language right.
Hearts and slurpees to all!!! ~Lily B
