~*~*~* Chapter 2: Lily flower and grease head *~*~*
James, Alissa and Sirius were sitting at the kitchen table enjoying their breakfast that Rose, the Potters house elf, had made. The teens were home alone since Mr. and Mrs. Potter were at work.
Mr. Potter was an Auror. And Mrs. Potter worked in the Accidental magic reversal department.
"So...what do you guys want to do today? Quidditch?" James asked.
Alissa shook her head. "Nah, I need to get some new dress robes...actually so do you two as well."
Sirius gave her a questioning look. "Why do we need dress robes?"
"They were on the list, but we didn't get any because I was going to go later and buy some."
James looked at her gloomily. "Do we have too? I mean I still have the dress robes we wore to that one dinner party, why can't I go in those? And Sirius can have one of my older ones."
"Actually, mum gave away your dress robes, so unless you would rather go naked you need to come with me to Diagon Alley today."
"I'll go to the ball naked, as long as you go naked with me." Sirius said jokingly to Alissa. Who laughed, along with James.
"Padfoot, no one will EVER want to see you naked...well...maybe Alissa but..OW! Hey!"
Alissa had smacked him in the back of the head HARD.
"Don't even go there Prongs." Alissa laughed.
"Well why wouldn't she want to see me naked? I'm a stud muffin." Sirius said grinning. This comment earned him a smack from Alissa too, though not as hard.
They spent the rest of the morning just lounging around the house, then noon came around.
"You guys ready to go?" Alissa asked.
"Unfortunately." James and Sirius muttered.
Alissa rolled her eyes, and disapparated. James and Sirius followed.
^*^*^
"C'mon Alissa! Just pick one!" Siruis whined. He was left ALONE with Alissa to pick out her dress robe while James was in the bathroom. Sirius had a sneaky suspicion that he was taking forever to avoid what Sirius was going through now.
"Sirius...I can't just pick one! Unlike you and James I actually WANT to look good for the ball, I don't just pick the first thing I see wen I walk in!"
"Wouldn't hurt to not take an hour though." Sirius mumbled under his breath.
Alissa heard him and glared. Then turned back to the rack.
"She's STILL not finished?" James asked after FINAALY coming back form the "bathroom". Sirius shook his head sadly.
"Alissa smiled. "Stop complaining...I found one that I like."
"Great! Now pay for it and let's go get some ice-cream!" Sirius said.
10 minutes later they were headed towards the ice-cream parlor, when James spotted a familiar red head sitting at an outside table at the parlor, with who were probably her parents.
"EVANS!! HEY EVANS!!" James yelled, bounding over to Lily, Sirius and Alissa in tow.
Lily looked up and scowled. "What do you want Potter?"
Lily had vivid red hair that went down just below the shoulders that stood out in a crowd. She had spectacular emerald green eyes that always flashed when she saw James.
"Hey Lils." Alissa said as she and Sirius joined the group.
"Hi Alissa." Lily said, still glaing at James.
"Hello Alissa dear."
"Hello Mrs. Evans."
"Lily, who are your friends?" Mr. Evans asked, eyeing James. He wasn't paying much attention to Sirius seeing as he was holding Alissa's hand, but James seemed to be quite interested in his daughter.
Lily snorted, and turned her gaze away from James. "I would HARDLY call Potter my friend." She muttered, then she sighed, she couldn't be rude in front of her parents, even to POTTER! "This is James Potter, Alissa's twin brother. And that's Sirius Black, Alissa's boyfriend, they're in my year."
"Pleased to meet you both." Mr. Potter said. Extending his hand to both of them to shake.
"You too." They said.
"Well dear... you may stay here with your friends for a while, but your father and I must be going. Be home before dinner ok? Your friends are welcome to join us as well."
Lily looked at Alissa silently begging her to say no. But before Alissa could respond, James said, "Thanks Mrs. Evans! We would love to!" he flashed her his most charming smile.
Mrs. Evans smiled. "Well then I guess I'd better get going then if we are to have guests, oh and Lily dear, Petunia's boyfriend Vernon is going to be coming over for dinner as well... Bye Lily dear!" With that she left a horror struck Lily with the others.
"Well.... Since James just accepted our invite...I guess I'll go tell mum and dad." Alissa said glaring a little at James. WHY he insisted on pestering Lily she had no idea. She knew he was madly in love with her, but driving her up a wall DEFINATLY wasn't a good idea.
"You...you're going to LEAVE me here with your brother and his side-kick?!?" Lily said angrily.
Alissa smiled. "Actually, I'm leaving you with my brother and taking Sirius with me." 'hopefully James won't act like a total prat when their alone, then Lily will get to see that James has been changing over the summer.' Alissa thought.
Lily gaped at her, but Alissa apparated with Sirius before she could get a word out.
"So Lilkins, what do you want to do on this fine day?"
Lily said nothing, and stalked off. James followed her, He opened his mouth to say something, but Lily cut him off.
"Listen Potter, do me favor this year and don't BOTHER ME!"
A hurt look appeared on James face for a split second, but was soon replaced by his usual grin. He was about to reply, when, he was once again interrupted
A white streak had cut across his face, and her felt a warm trickle of blood run down his face. He wiped it away and pulled out his wand. Turning around he saw Snape with his wand pointed at him.
"Snivellus..." James was about to curse him when he heard someone cry,
"EXPELLIARMUS!"
Snape's wand flew out of his hand and landed about 10 feet behind him where a figure picked it up.
"You know Snivelly, I don't like it when another person when their back is turned to the attacker. Especially when that person is my brother!"
It was Alissa, and the person who picked up Snape's wand was Sirius.
Snape swiveled around and glared at Alissa. "This is none of your concern Potter!"
"Actually, when you attack a member of my family or ANY of my friends, it is my concern."
The group had attracted a crowd of on lookers. One of the shop keepers came out to see what all the fuss was about.
"What on EARTH is going on here?!" A portly man that ran the Potions shop said.
"Nothing." Alisa growled. "Sirius, give Snivellus his wand back so we can get out of here."
Sirius reluctantly threw Snape his wand back to him.
"There, you've got your wand... now leave!" James growled.
Snape sneered, and stalked off into the crowd of spectators.
"OK PEOPLE! SHOWS OVER! MOVE IT!" Alissa yelled.
At once the crowed began to disperse.
"I could've handled it myself you know." James said.
Alissa shrugged. "So, this way Snivellus got a taste of his own medicine by being attacked unexpectedly from behind."
Lily looked at her watch and sighed. This was going to be a LONG night. "Ok...dinner starts in an hour, I think we should leave so Tuna face can't jump down my throat for being late."
The others nodded. And with that the four of them disapparated.
