Chapter Eight: Playing with Rose Georgette

Lily and Tom arrived in the mid afternoon where James was waiting impatiently. He now had a plan to avoid Tom. James thought that Tom wouldn't attack him if Lily were around. Lily walked into the door and found herself in a constricting hug.

As soon as James released her he grabbed her hand and pulled Lily up the stairs. James didn't even glance at Tom. It was better, James thought, that he never had a chance to annoy Tom more than he always did. Little did he know ignoring Tom only made him angrier.

James threw open up the door to his room and pulled Lily in. He slammed the door and locked it.

Lily looked at him with question, "why did you do that?"

"It is because of your uncle, remember," James stated. He was still afraid that Lily wouldn't believe him.

"Oh yeah, do you want to play?" Lily said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, what do you want to play?" James asked.

"House! You can be the daddy I'll be the mommy and this," Lily said while picking up a stuffed bear, "can be our little girl."

"That can't be a girl his name is George!" James protested.

"No it is not her name is Rose!" Lily yelled back.

"George!"

"Rose!"

"George!"

"Ro... how 'bout Rose Georgette?"

"Okay it can be a girl," James said defeated. "What job do you want?"

"Umm... a doctor," Lily said unsure about herself.

"What is a doctor?" James said puzzled.

"You know a doctor, somebody that helps sick people," Lily said also puzzled.

"You mean a healer, I want to be an auror or a qudditch player!" James said excitedly.

"What is qudditch?" Lily asked.

"What is qudditch? What is qudditch, the world's greatest sport?" James ranted.

"Sorry it was just a question," Lily said meekly.

"I'm sorry too, lets just play!" James said trying to get some of Lily's hyper ness back.

"Okay. It is time for Rose to be fed won't you help me!" Lily said in a more mature tone of voice.

"Huh? Oh! But I have to go to work remember? It is really hard being a qudditch player you know and also being an auror!" James mock argued while trying not to laugh.

"Oh sure and it is just easy being a doctor... healer with a child to look after!" Lily said with a wide smile she didn't even try suppressing.

"All right what is she eating?" James questioned.

"Pancakes," Lily said simply.

But she is only one year old! She can only eat baby food!" James replied.

"She is three years old, remember?" Lily said faking a stern tone. "How could you forget your own daughter's age?"

"Well last I knew she was a baby." James said.

"I know, they grown up so fast!" Lily said trying to imitate her parents. "I need to go shopping too."

"All right I will feed Rose and you go shopping," James stated.

"I'll just get the car keys and go," Lily said.

"A car? Why not just floo to Diagon Alley or something?" James questioned.

"Floo? Why would I travel by a thing that makes you sick?" Lily said confused.

"Huh? Why are you so confused today?" James asked. "How about I go and you feed Rose she must be getting awfully hungry."

"Okay," Lily bent down and pretended to feed Rose and James disappeared for a moment.

The rest of the game went by fast. Soon it was time for Lily to leave. So far in the game Lily and James had disagreed and agree more than they actually played. One of the many things that they decided was that Rose had red hair, hazel eyes, and was a bit of a troublemaker. It was one of the best days James had in a long time.

A/N: I know that it isn't very good and doesn't have much of a plot but still review!
