Chapter 10 "Attached To My Enemy" by marauderyears

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or anything related to it, J.K Rowling does.

NOTE: I'm very pleased with the feedback I got on my previous chapter, I really appreciate it. I just realized that in my last chapter I said, "We sat there in quiet silence..." Versus loud silence?

shan- I'm not mad at you sweetie, don't worry. I could never get mad at any of my reviewers unless they flamed me real bad, which thankfully that hasn't come up yet. I also have difficulty expressing what I mean through typing because people can't hear my tone of voice and stuff, you know? But no worries I'm not sad or mad or anything...I'm just kind of here, lol. I'm glad that you didn't think it was a waste of a chapter. It was kind of like foreshadowing, so it wasn't completely useless, lol. Keep reviewing!

Danu3- Those squiggly things are hott, lol. I use them when I talk on instant message. It's fun because not many people notice the poor squiggly things on the keyboard, so they think it's really cool, lol.

shortiegal0527- Isn't it sweet?

hpjsr- Thanks!

KMK- I can't wait to write it!

Scooterbug8515- I'm happy to hear that! I hope you like the following chapters.

Hawaiian-Rachael- Really? I'm so happy that it is. Yes, I'll try to update faster.

Funnykido- LOL! I know, I realize that there's no LJ action, my poor readers!

sweetsoutherngal- It's not mine either, lol. It's more like a bridge chapter.

Annmarie Aspasia- Same! Oh my goodness, I SOOOOOOOO want red hair. It has to be this precise shade though. I either want this really pretty medium-dark red hair (Lindsey Lohan, and I'm sorry if you don't like her, but she's got pretty hair. Except she constantly is dying it.) or this girl from my school who's got the prettiest light red hair- it's so beautiful! I wish I had her hair. It's funny because her name is also Lilly. Except with 2 L's.

Kim- Aw, your review was cute it reminded me of a little kid... Cute!

SnoopyViz- I'll try. :D

Smay- Okie dokie, here's the chapter. Glad you liked it.

Dans-girl-4ever- Yes, a lot of my LJ moments are awkward.

little-angel123452000- Thanks! And that's a very good question. I'm not sure that I could answer it without spoiling the story. I know exactly how I'm going to end it though. Let's just say that the end ends at a beginning. But I'm sure that I'll get complaints about the end because it kind of leaves you hanging in a way.

Lily's POV

"Lily, are you about ready?"

I nodded nervously. "Don't worry, I promise my parents will love you." He said soothingly.

I looked around the busy train station. "Where are your parents?" I quickly scanned the station looking for someone who remotely looked like James.

"Oh, they're kind of too busy to pick me up. We're going to drive to my house."

I looked at him, clearly confused. "Drive? You mean like in a car?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Yes, a car. That's generally what people drive. Cars."

I glared at him. "I know what a car is. I just thought that you'd use a Wizard way."

He shrugged. "We could... but I want to drive my birthday present that was from my parents when I turned 16."

"Birthday present?"

He didn't answer and led me out to the parking lot of the train station. My eyes immediately focused on a sexy silver Porsche with really shiny hubcaps. The car was extremely clean and the sunlight bounced off the car, making it hard to look at.

I stared at the shiny hubcaps for awhile until I noticed that James had led me right to the car.

"Whoever owns that car must have a lot of money." I said, gazing at the beautiful car.

I waited for James to answer me but he just blushed and stuck his keys into the passenger side of the car, opening the door. I think my jaw just about hit the pavement.

He gave me a small smile, obviously waiting for me to get in. I snapped out of my trance and glanced around at the busy parking lot. I noticed a few nearby teenagers staring longingly at the car. I felt myself grin and I gracefully sat down in the car.

He stopped for a second and turned red. "Umm...I normally would not do this, but I kind of have to crawl over you because of...well you know."

"Okay." Somehow he awkwardly crawled over my seat and into his seat after sticking his butt into my face at least twice. Hey, I'm not complaining. Oh my goodness, I did not just think that.

"Shit." James and I said at the same time when we both noticed that the handcuffs were on his right arm and my left. Considering that he was in the driver's seat (the right side of the car- England, remember?) his arms were awkwardly crossed.

"Okay... This is...great."

I sighed. "Should I drive?"

He sighed and nodded. We (once again) awkwardly switched sides while inside the car. I ended up sticking my butt in his face at least twice. There, now we're even.

James' POV

After giving me a cute smile and a wink, she started the car.

We pulled out of the parking lot. "Do you want the roof open?" I asked.

She grinned and nodded. I pushed the button above our heads. "I'll have to close it when we get onto the freeway because the wind's too damn loud to talk or listen to the radio."

I watched as she pulled her beautiful hair out of her ponytail, letting it blow in the wind. I couldn't stop myself from smiling at the breathtaking sight of her smiling and giggling while her hair blew in the wind...

I didn't tell her this, but she's the only person other than me who I'd ever (or have ever) let drive my car. I didn't even let my parents drive it, let alone Sirius or Remus. Well, that might be because Sirius doesn't have a license...but even if he did I wouldn't let him. Remus has his license because he's halfblood, but I wouldn't let him drive it either.

"So, why do you have your license and how do you know what a car is?" Lily asked me, eyes still on the road.

"Well my parents have been making me take Muggle Studies lessons since I was 5 or 6. So I know a good deal about Muggle stuff. I got my license because I thought it'd be kind of fun to have it." I shrugged.

"Wait a second... if you've been taking lessons for such a long time, why did I tutor you all last year for Muggle Studies because you were failing?"

I felt myself turn red. "Well...I wasn't failing per say. I just...wanted a chance to talk to you." I said quietly.

"So you mean I tutored you twice a week for nothing while you were easily passing the class all along?"

I nodded, preparing myself for a huge lecture that involved a lot of name calling. Instead, she laughed.

"Oh my goodness, you're lucky I'm in a good mood."

"Yeah, I sure am." I said, extremely relieved.

"Wait, I have a question."

"Shoot."

"How was your car in the parking lot if no one was there to drive it and if it's illegal to leave your car in the parking lot for more than 24 hours?"

"You don't ask, I won't tell."

"Fair enough." She said, sighing.

Lily's POV

An hour and 45 minutes later, we pulled onto a windy drive way (that had an iron gate at the beginning that only opened when James said his name) that led into a beautiful green forest. I admired the scenery as I watched a few squirrels chase each other up a tree. They were probably fighting over an acorn.

Just when I was beginning to wonder when the driveway would end, the forest opened up to an open field of freshly cut (suspiciously green) grass. Normally this time of year the grass is dead, but I reminded myself that the whole forest and grass was probably green because of magic.

After a second of staring at the grass, I noticed the house. Wait, house is incorrect. Mansion is more like it. When I said whoever owned this car must have been loaded, I wasn't kidding. I can't believe I hadn't noticed the house- mansion before the stupid green grass.

It took me a minute to realize that James had crawled over me and out of the car and was now holding my car door open. I turned off the engine and followed James onto a stone path that wound around to the front door.

"You have a beautiful house, James."

"Thanks." He mumbled, sounding embarrassed.

"Do you own the woods too?"

He nodded. "It's been in my family for generations and generations. The house and the forest, that is. If you don't want a longwinded 3 hour explanation of it, don't bring the subject up in front of my dad."

I felt my stomach twist when I remembered that I had to meet his parents. When arrived at the big front doors, he stopped and turned to me.

"Umm...please don't get mad at me, but I don't want my parents to know that I err...handcuffed us together, so I told them that you were my...err...girlfriend."

"What?!" I said, feeling anger swell in my stomach.

"Shh, I'm sorry, but you don't understand my parents. My dad would strongly disapprove of it and I'd get into trouble. So you're going to have to help me out and say that I'm your boyfriend. Please?"

"Please, not the puppy dog eyes. Oh, okay. Fine, just stop with that sad little face." He instantly brightened.

"Thanks Lily, that means a lot to me."

"Yeah, yeah. Open the door, I'm getting cold."

He knocked on the door and we waited for a second, before the big doors opened, leading us into a large hall that reminded me of the Great Hall. Except this hall had two staircases at opposite sides of the hall that met together where a door was.

"This reminds me of a scary movie."

"Huh? Oh yeah, it can get kind of creepy here at night. So I don't recommend wandering around the halls when it's dark right after you watch a scary movie." He said laughing.

At least he knows what a scary movie is.

"James! You're home!"

I looked up the stairs to see a young woman with dark reddish-brown hair. A lot darker than mine.

"James is home?" A man that looked quite a bit like James entered into the hall through a door I hadn't noticed before.

The woman came down the stairs and hugged James and turned to me smiling.

"Hello dearie. You must be Lily Evans." She looked at James for confirmation and back at me.

"Yes, I am." I said politely, wondering how she knew my name.

"And I'm Victoria Potter." She said sticking out her hand that I noticed had a beautiful pink diamond ring on it. I shook her hand.

"I'm very pleased to meet you."

"And I'm Will Potter." James' Father said smiling. I shook his hand.

"James has told us all about you. You're even prettier in person." I noticed out of the corner of my eye that James was blushing.

"Well, we had a long drive over here. I'm going to go show Lily to her room."

Mrs. Potter nodded. "Dinner should be ready in an hour, so be ready."

He nodded and took my hand and we walked up the stairs.

A/N: I seriously don't care that the Porsche I'm thinking of wasn't around in the 1970's, so please don't anyone tell/complain about that in the reviews because I'll just ignore you. Other than that, I hope you liked the beginning of Lily and James' Christmas Vacation.
