The New Girl

Chapter 14

When Lily woke up she blinked and looked around, she was in a beautiful room.

She had been too exhausted before to notice which room she had been taken to.

The room was a large size, not too large mind you but for Lily it was quiet big.

It was a violet colored room; she was lying in a four-poster bed, with curtains that were half closed.

Across from that was a desk with a mirror and writing utensils, next to that was dresser, which she assumed, held clothes or were used to hold clothes when guests stayed in this room.

As she looked to her left she saw there was a large window with a window seat to go with it.

Lily gasped, she LOVED window seats.

Lily jumped out of bed and rushed over to look out the window.

As she looked straight ahead and saw that the sun was just setting or rising, she couldn't tell.

As she looked down she saw that she was on the second story of the house and that there was a garden to her left and an open meadow of beautiful flowers off to her right.

"So you're finally up!"

Lily jumped and turned around and smiled.

"Hello Mrs. Potter." Lily said.

Joyce smiled.

"Please, call me Joyce, dear."

Lily nodded.

"What day is it?" Lily asked.

Joyce smiled again.

"You didn't sleep that long, you feel asleep last night and woke up the next day."

Lily felt her jaw drop.

She had slept for practically 24 hours!

Joyce just chuckled.

"Come on, dear. Dinner is ready and if we don't hurry James and Harold will eat all the food."

Lily laughed and followed Joyce out of the room, finally feeling a lot better than she had the day before.


James and Harold had just sat down for dinner when Lily and Joyce entered the room, laughing.

James smiled.

"Well look who it is! Sleeping Beauty has awoken!" exclaimed James with a mischievous smile.

Lily just smiled and sat down next to James, slapping him playfully.

James gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Feeling better?" he whispered looking into her eyes.

Lily hesitated for a moment before smiling.

"Very Much so." She whispered back.

"I'm glad." James said before turning to the delicious dinner before him.


After dinner Lily and James were up in the games room playing a game of Slap Jack, and so far James was winning.

As they flipped down each card, they began to go faster and faster as the Jack did not appear.

Suddenly there it was, The Jack, Lily slapped her hand down on the pile of cards only to realize that James hand was already there.

Lily looked up at James and gave him a mock glare.

James just smiled.

"I win."

Lily pouted.

"No Fair!" she said, "You always win!"

James smiled and stood up.

"Want to go for a walk through the gardens?" James asked, when Lily stood up.

Lily smiled and nodded.


James led her downstairs and towards the back where there were two large doors leading out to the pool area and back yard.

After a short walk through the garden they reached the meadow filled with flowers.

They walked for a bit longer before coming to a spot where James could lay down the blanket that he had brought and they both lay down next to each other gazing up at the stars.

"Wow." Said Lily amazed at the beautiful sky.

"You can never see the stars this well in the city, there are always too many lights from the houses."

James nodded in agreement.

"That's what I like about Hogwarts, you can always see the stars so clearly."

Lily then cuddled up to James, her head on his chest as he placed his arms around her.

"James," Lily said quietly.

"Hmm." He replied.

"What am I going to do about my dad?" she asked.

James frowned.

"I'm not sure Lily, but I'm sure he'd come around soon and if not I will wait two months until you're allowed to date and even go have proper introduction with your dad to reassure him that I will take good care of you and treat you right."

Lily looked up at James.

"Would you really do that?" she asked hopefully.

James nodded.

"Of course! I hate seeing you unhappy."

Lily smiled and leaned up and gave James a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you." Lily whispered, as she lay back down in her original position.

Lily and James lay there for the next hour or so just talking about random things.

I was about ten o'clock when Joyce called them into the house.

Lily and James got up slowly, not wanting to go back inside just yet.

When they reached the house they decided to go up to bed.

James went to his room while Lily went into hers, which was right across from James'.

"Night Lily." James said as he entered his room.

"Goodnight James." Lily said as she did the same.

James gave her a smile and closed his door.

Lily sighed contently before doing the same.


Lily took her time changing into her Pajamas and brushing her teeth.

Lily went over to where a record player was with a small selection of 34"s.

She began looking through the selection and picked on which she liked.

She placed the 34" on the player and nearly jumped as the needle when over automatically and it began to play.

Lily sighed as the familiar song began to play.

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you

Lily closed her eyes and began swaying to the music.

Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes

Lily's eyes went wide as she felt someone come up from behind her and place their arms around her.

Lily giggled and turned around and placed her arms around James' neck.

Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

"I thought you were going to bed?" ask Lily with a smile.

James just grinned.

"I was but when I heard music coming from your room I decided to investigate."

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Lily looked down and realized James was only wearing his PJ pants.

James laughed as Lily turned chrimson.

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

"I can go put a shirt on if you like." Said James.

Lily shook her head.

No, she liked it like this.

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Lily lay her head on James shoulder as he pulled her closer.

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you...

Even though the song had finished, Lily and James continued to sway for a little while longer before stopping.

James lifted Lily's face up to his and give her a sweet but passionate kiss on the lips.

Immediately sparks flew in Lily's mind as she felt James' tongue touch her lips and she shivered but allowed him to deepen the kiss.

Lily didn't want the kiss to end but they soon had to come back up for air.

James looked down at her and smiled before picking her up.

Lily let out a squeek of surprise but allowed him to carry her over to the bed.

James lay Lily down gently before placing the blankets over her and gave her one last kiss, before wishing her a goodnight and leaving the room, turning off the light on his way out.

Lily sighed in happiness and fell asleep almost instantly.


Lily woke up the next morning with a smile on her face.

She slowly got out of bed and went over to the bathroom to have a shower and get ready for the day ahead of her.

James was just coming out of his room when he saw Lily's door opening and out came his flower humming a song.

Lily saw James and smiled.

"Goodmorning James. Did you sleep well?" sheasked, coming over and giving him a kiss.

James smiled as they parted.

"Like a baby, how about you?"

Lily smile grew, "Me too."

"Good."


James and Lily arrived at the dinning room to see that Joyce and Harold had already began their meal.

"Hello dears," said Joyce. "How are you this lovely morning?"

Lily and James grinned.

"Very Good Joyce, thank you." Said Lily with a smile, as the house elves arrived with hers and James' breakfast.

After breakfast James and Harold went outside to play a little Quidditch, while Lily and Joyce went into the sitting room for tea.


Lily soon found out that her and Joyce had a lot in common and they got along great.

"Lily dear, don't you think that it is time that your return to your parents?"

Joyce asked an hour later.

Lily sighed and knew that Joyce was right.

"Yes, I do think that I should return home…"

Look looked down at her empty tea cup.

"But-" said Joyce knowing there was a 'but' coming.

Lily sighed, yep Joyce was a mother, that's for sure, she could even tell what Lily was thinking.

"But I'm scared that my father will keep to his word and not let me go back to Hogwarts and I don't think I could live without Hogwarts and everyone else, especially James, I'd miss them too much."

Lily was surprised that she had said to Joyce about how she felt about James, btu she felt like she could trust this woman with her life, and she could.

Joyce smiled.

"Don't worry dear, everything will turn out."

Joyce gave her a reassuring smile and a hug.

Lily felt a little better.

"Now why don't you go start packing your things and I will get the house elves to start on Lunch and you can leave after that."

Lily sighed and nodded before going up the stairs.
