Summer at Potter's
A/N: okay I know I said I wasn't going to update until Saturday but I got a review from The all mighty and powerful*M saying she waned to hear what James said when he found out about Lily. I just couldn't let her down but I hadn't planed on including that. This isn't a real chapter. It's more of a mini chapter. Therefore I won't praise anyone yet. That will be next chapter. Also I might not be able to get the next chapter up by Saturday, but at least you have this. One more thing, I need to know if you want more of the story from James's POV. Review it to me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter!
James's POV
It was the first day of my last summer holiday. I'm graduating next year and I'm going to miss it so much. Especially Lily Evans. She is the most beautiful, intelligent, and kind person I know. She is absolutely perfect. The problem is I love her but she hates me. I have asked her out plenty of times but she always turns me down, most of the time it's in a rather mean way. It hasn't daunted me in the least, though. I don't care how many times she says she would rather go out with the giant squid than me. I will always love her.
I won't have to worry about never seeing her again after school, fortunately. You see, our parents are friends, so even if she doesn't want to see me ever again, she'll have to, her parents will invite us both to parties and other things. I will always be a part of her life and she will always be a part of mine.
I was sitting on the Hogwarts Express staring out the window. It's not like I was even looking at anything in particular. Remus and Peter were sitting across from Sirius and myself, and Remus was giving us a lecture about who knows what. I finally snap back to reality when I notice we've arrived at King's Cross. I gathered my things and got off the train. My parents were standing on the other side of the barrier with Lily's parents. They always met both of us at the same place. It must have been torture for Lily. I walked over and greeted all of them. Lily hadn't come through the barrier yet, but I was hoping she would come before we left. Sure enough she did and with one last row before the summer including me asking her out again and getting shot down, my parents and I left.
It wasn't until we got home my parents told me the news. We were barely in the door when my dad said we needed to talk about something and led me into the living room.
"James, we're really not sure what you're going to think of this, but here it goes. Lily's great aunt is sick, and her parents are spending the summer with her. Mr. and Mrs. Evans had no idea where to send Lily this summer. We told them she could stay here. She's arriving in two days," my mom said.
I was so incredibly happy nothing could bring me down. I would be living with Lily for the whole summer. This was the best thing that could ever happen to me. I must have been smiling like an idiot because my parents were looking at me like I was possessed. They know I love Lily, but I don't think they understand how much.
"Really? Do I actually have to wait two whole days? Oh, I'm going to burst with anticipation."
"Don't worry. She'll be here before you know it."
