Chapter 7

Meeting the Potters

Lily was so happy to be at James' house. Her first year at Hogwarts had been a wonderful, yet strange experience. Today was one month that she had been at the Potter Mansion, and today also was the day every ones parents were coming for a party at 6:00pm. Lily couldn't wait to see her parents again, but she could wait for her dad seeing James. Not that she liked him as more than a friend; but because he had changed from the little boy her dad had known so well. Lily and James had had a lot of time to catch up on all the things they had missed out on in each other's lives in the past month. Even though they had had time during the school year, everyone was telling and showing Lily and Rosie new things. Rosie wanted to ask why Lily and she looked so much alike, but she just couldn't put herself to do it. She just had this funny feeling that there was something to Lily and her than met the eye. And so did Lily.

..::James' Room::..

"James do like Lily?" Sirius asked.

"Yes."

"Then why don't you tell her?"

"Umm, maybe because she already knows!"

"You told Lily that you like her as more than a friend?"

"NO! I only like her as a friend, nothing more." James stated as the grin on Sirius' face dwindled down.

"Now about you and Rosie?"

"Umm... I think I hear our parents... bye!" Sirius said in a rush.

..::LATER::..

"Mum! Dad! I'm so glad to see you!" Everyone was yelling (well except for James and Sirius [who hated his parents]) as their parents came through the doorway. For the second time since Lily met Rosie, Mrs. Evans grabbed Rosie instead of Lily. "Oh I'm really sorry Lily, you and Rosie both just look so much alike!"

Yah, we do don't we? I wonder why? Both Lily and Rosie thought.

After that little ordeal the parents went off to talk and the kinds went to play some more quidditch.

..::Parents::..

"Oh Carla! It had been such a long time!" Mrs. Evans said. "Isn't it weird that both Lillian and James are magical?"

"Indeed it is. Did you know that in every single letter that James sent us this year that there was always a topic on Lillian?" Mrs. Potter asked.

..::Kids::..

"I hate it when grown ups talk alone." James complained as they walked back inside the house from playing a game of quidditch.

"Me too." Everyone agreed.

"Rosie! Could you tie my shoe?" Sirius asked.

"NO! Why do I need to tie you shoes? Your are 12 years old!!! Tie it yourself!!!" Rosie yelled and started stalking off to her room.

"I know you love me." Sirius said with a grin on his face.

"You just went to far Sirius..." Remus muttered to Sirius as Rosie turned around to talk to Sirius.

"Shut... your... bloody... mouth!!!" Rosie screamed as she punched Sirius and stomped into her room, with Lily and Mel following.

..::Girls::..

"Sirius just went way to far that time! I love him- but as a friend. Someone needs to lower his ego... and soon." Rosie said as Lily and Mel sat down beside her.

"Both of us know that, but Sirius doesn't, if anyone should lower his ego, Rose, it's you. You two are going to get through this. Just hold out a couple more months... or years." Lily added to make Rosie laugh.

"Yeah Rosie, Lily is right, you two will get through this." Mel added to Lily's speech.

"Thanks girls... I really needed. I guess what they say is true, huh?" Rosie said.

"What?"

"That redheads loose their tempers!" Rosie laughed and one second later two pillows hit her in the face.

..::Boys::..

"Boy Sirius, you messed up." James said.

"Thanks for stating the obvious! Guess I should take it slower with her, huh?" Sirius asked.

"Do you really love her, or is it just a fling?" Remus asked.

"I don't know... maybe..."

"Maybe what?" James asked.

"Love."
