Author's Note: Hey, it's me again. Sorry I didn't get a chapter out
yesterday. I was distracted by a book, romance, sadly. But yeah, I finished
one story and decided I should post another chapter before you readers'
riot. So here's some thank yous and then on with the story!
SAKURAnTOKYO- Yes, but I think it's only if Lily's in mortal peril with the whole necklace thing, I still haven't decided how it reacts yet. I am still thinking it all out.
Lily Rose Evans- Lily left for two major reasons: 1) she feels like she needs to make something of herself and for herself on her own, it's something she feels needs to be done without help. 2) She thinks that Bella is hiding something important about her and she doesn't want to think about it. So basic denial and run theory here. Also, I am Fate in this story and I say she runs! *cackles* Whoops little too much like Voldie there. Thank you for the wonderful review!
Bell- I couldn't help a satisfied yes! When I saw your review *grins* I'm glad, extremely glad that you love it and didn't see it coming!
C?line- Well I have like 118 pages hang written it's just a matter of typing them up and editing, adding etc. So I try to get up a chapter a day at least. Glad you loved Bella, don't worry though, I promise she will be back.
Walk-Way Hall- Thanks I'm glad!
The Elfin Child- Hehe, I knew I would irritate someone.
SleepieCareBear- Hehe, you remind me of Teegs, except she ah, kidnapped Sean and Draco and has them interrupting her, it's silliness.
Kristatmen- Thanks!
Well, that's all for now! Read and Review please! I hope you all like this chapter and notice things. There are a few details in here that kind of hint at things. I hope you see them. ~Frankie~
Chapter Eight: Meeting Mr. Potter
At 5:30 the next morning Lily heard the shower in Mr. James Potter's room turn on and she got up and dressed quickly in jeans and a long sleeve lavender shirt and went downstairs to start making breakfast. IN 20 minutes a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese covered hashbrowns were arranged on a plate with a glass of orange juice and a cup of black coffee on the woodblock table. Lily walked quietly up the back stairs listening for James Potter in the kitchen.
At 5 o'clock that morning Mr. James Potter walked into his bedroom and unpacked his bags from his business trip in Scotland and jumped into the shower washing away all the fatigue. He got out dried off and changed into some sweatpants and a white t-shirt and walked by his desk looking for messages. He found one from Leslie which he read aloud just to hear something other then just his footsteps in his bedroom, "James, I've hired a girl to take care of you and the house. It's a trial period so if you want to let her go I will completely understand, as will she. She's staying in the Green Room. Her name is Lily Evans. It would probably be best to tell her your daily schedule when you see her as I get the impression she'll try to sink into the woodwork. Good luck. See you on Monday- Leslie," he recited and looked bewildered before remember the ad he'd place in the Daily Prophet looking for some kind of human companion as House Elves were so very annoyed with their constant servitude.
James made his way to the kitchen preparing to make his own breakfast when he saw a silver cover place over a plate and he lifted it and found the breakfast Lily as made and a small note in curly handwriting that read:
Good Morning. I hope you enjoy your breakfast.
It wasn't signed.
"Must be that girl Leslie hired," James said invitingly hoping that if she was near by she would pop out and introduce herself. James sat down impatiently realizing he wanted to meet the girl, sighed, and took a bite of the hashbrowns. "Wow, this is great," he said to himself wishing for company, but Lily didn't accommodate him.
Lily was hidden in the backstairs listening to Mr. James Potter talk to himself and she began to believe that he was a lonely man because he talked aloud to himself every other thought and read the news paper aloud as if just to hear his own voice. Lily silently made her way up to her room and quickly showered because she hadn't had time, some how just knowing that James was hungry she'd rushed down and cooked and then disappeared. Lily put her clothes back on and made her way down to the closet on the second floor with cleaning supplies in it and began on one of the smaller rooms humming a song in her head quietly.
Downstairs James heard the shower turn on and 10 minutes later turn off as he finished his breakfast tempted to clean the dished but getting the distinct impression that the girl would be annoyed should he wash them himself. So he sighed and went to introduce himself if he could find her. Walking along the upstairs hallway James paused hearing someone humming melodically and went to find its source. He paused at one door in the middle of the hallway and quietly opened the door to find Lily cleaning, but that was the last thing that James noticed. He noticed her hair first, standing out violently red in the middle of this pastel and lace filled room that his mother liked very much. He spotted the emerald tone of her eyes in the mirror and couldn't help but stare, his eyes wide and stunned. He hadn't expected a beautiful girl, let alone one around his age, or at least he thought so. He shook of his thoughts and called out, "Miss Evans I presume?"
Lily turned and looked at James, "Yes, I'm Lily Evans. You must be Mr. Potter," she said trying to keep from taking in every detail of him as she would usually upon meeting someone new.
"Please call me James, if I can call you Lily," James said and smiled stepping into the room and smelling a few muggle cleaning products that he rarely used as he held out his hand for her to shake.
"My hands aren't clean" Lily said quietly.
"Don't worry about it," James said still offering his hand.
Lily tentatively took it and saw briefly in her mind a blinding flash of green light before shaking it off and said, "It's nice to meet you M- James," she smiled at him and James had the distinct feeling that her working for him was going to work out well, very well.
"Nice to meet you too, you know you don't have to work too hard it's only the weekend," James said as he released her hand and suddenly felt quite cold.
"I have very little else to do as I am not entirely sure if you're going to extend my employment beyond this trial period Leslie told me about," Lily said quietly.
"Well considering I came home after a fairly wretched journey expecting to make myself something barely recognizable as food and found what you made I am so far very pleased with you Lily," James said in a friendly manner.
"You're welcome," Lily said feeling her stomach fluttering as if with butterflies was eager to rid herself of the cause of those nerves.
James sensed her nerves and said, "I'll let you be for now, I hope for lunch around noon, please make enough to join me. I like to get to know my employees," he smiled and left the room leaving Lily to her cleaning.
Author's Note: Eep, sorry for the short chapter! Hopefully I can get another one out today before Rocky Horror tonight. I hope you liked this chapter! ~Frankie~
