Author's Note: Hey! I am so happy to hear that everyone likes the story!
This
is one of my personal favorite chapters because Lily is having a girl moment.
ENJOY!
"James, I am really ready to go home now dear," Lily said, after taking
only a sip of wine at the small round table.
"Lils you haven't even touched the bruchetta.I thought you liked
bruchetta," James made one of his famous pouty-faces, and turned his large doey eyes
toward her.
"Don't look at me like that! I'm just not hungry.And I'm worried about
Harry.What if he needs me?"
"Lillian Potter! I trust Sirius, and besides Harry loves his godfather
to death," James said exasperatedly (this had been the twelfth time they had
been over this).
"But-"
"No buts! I put a lot of time and money into this evening, and we
already missed the play because you tried to get me to go home so many times. 'No
James! Go left' when you know damn well it is a right turn!"
"Don't you dare yell at me James Potter!" Lilly's eyes began to water.
Just then the waiter walked over and inquired if they wanted any more
wine. The couple looked at him simultaneously and screamed, "Bugger off!" By
now, people at nearby tables began to look at them.
"I have had enough! I want to leave.I want him in my arms, safe and
sound."
"What, you don't trust my judgment? Don't you like my friends?"
"That is not true! I love Remus!"
"Oh I see." James was rolling his eyes.
"Apparently you don't, because for the last hour I have been trying to
get you to take me HOME! Do I have to spell it for you-"
Their server began walking behind Lily's chair with a very large bowl of
soup.
"H-O-M-"
But she never finished her rant because the waiter tripped and the very
large bowl of soup was now covering Lily. Her hair and green dress were
sopping wet and she had her eyes closed as if praying for something. The waiter
looked shocked, but James looked terrified.
"I want to leave James.we are going." Lily's voice trembled.
"Sweetheart, are you-"
"I WANNA GO HOME NOW!"
The entire restaurant echoed with Lily's declaration, and James stood up
so fast the table overturned. Lily stalked out of the small Italian place
with James cowering at her heels.
The waiter sat on the ground covered in the tablecloth, groping for air
as he mumbled apologies.
Outside Lily was dripping soup all over the sidewalk as she streaked
towards the car. A fire hydrant nearby exploded and water spewed out in every
direction.
"Honey calm down it was an accident," James tried not to sound nervous.
"Get in the car."
That was not a request, it was an order. James jumped in the car and
realized that their coats were still in the building with the keys in James's
coat pocket. He smiled sheepishly and Lily made a growl that sounded too close
to the noises Remus made on the full moon. As he jogged back towards the
restaurant he was praying that Lily wouldn't try and apparate home.she was likely
to splinch herself. Odds were it was that time of month.
A/N: I know it was short, but wasn't it good? The reviews have been wonderful! Keep 'em coming. I'm going on vacation for two weeks, but as soon as I'm back it will be continue. Love to all!
