Chapter 2: Vacation Buddies
It was late. 1 am to be exact Harry lay awake thinking. He rolled over and picked up the notebook. He flicked to the back page. At the bottom it said:
To our dearest Harry, if you are reading this you would have returned to Godric's Hollow and we are most likely not living. This is a recount of our lives.
He flicked back to where he left off and continued reading.
The train ride away from Hogwarts was the longest feeling yet. It could have to do with having to share a compartment with Potter or the fact that she was going to have to spend the whole of the summer holidays far away from magic and her friends with her medieval thinking sister Petunia.
The train at long last pulled in to platform 9 ¾ I would be leaving for Australia tomorrow little did I know tomorrow was going to be full of surprises…
The next day I woke late and there was a massive rush to get to the airport. We were the last to board the plain and we found out none of us would be sitting together. I made my way down to my seat. I passed petunia who was sitting next to a really hot guy but when I sat down there was the biggest surprise…
"Lily?"
I looked to see who I was next to
"POTTER!" I shouted in disbelieve
"Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking. I would like to announce that that plane will be taking off in a few moments and would everyone be seated while we run through the safety procedures before take off…"
"Don't talk to me." I said to James. He had opened his mouth to say something before I cut him off.
"It's a 14 hour flight Lily"
"Of which I plan to catch up on some sleep and with that I rolled over and fell asleep.
JAMES P.O.V
I couldn't believe it. Here I was sitting on the plane with my folks when my favourite redhead has the seat next to me.
A lot of people think that my liking Lily is a joke. The truth is I have liked her from the moment I laid eyes on her. Now 16 or 17 jeez I don't know when her birthday is. She was beautiful. She had the most gorgeous thick red wavy hair James had ever laid eyes on. She had the perfect body she was nice and slim with curves in all the right places, and the eyes don't get me started on the eyes they were unusual all the same yet stunning they were a clear emerald green in an almond shape they were perfect. She was perfect.
I was talking to my father about careers.
"Whatever you do don't become a healer no matter what. Some of the stuff that gets bought in is disgusting. Apply for Auror School like your old man!"
"Whatever dad" I sighed all along I was planning on Auror School.
Sighing he rumpled his jet black hair making it even messier. James Potter was the most sought after boy at Hogwarts. He was captain of the quidditch team and competed for the top of his classes. He was actually rather handsome as well. He had a slightly tanned, muscular body. He wore black, round glasses over his hazel eyes.
I glanced at Lily. She really was asleep.
James turned to his father who was watching him intently. From the girls reaction he figured that James somehow knew her.
"Who is she?" he asked
"Lily Evans." I replied
"The Lily Evans?"
"Yes. I don't get her dad I really don't."
"What do you mean?"
"Well look at her she's beautiful. I don't know it's just when I am around her I fell well, strange. It's really odd"
"You really like her don't you?"
"Well yeah I suppose."
"You don't just like her because she is pretty do you?" asked his mum
"No" I replied instantly. "She is smart. She I loyal, brave, a great friend- well to her friends I'm not exactly one of them, outgoing, adventurous, smart, funny, smart, perfect oh and did I mention she was smart?"
"Yes dear."
Lily's head rolled to the side. She was asleep on James's shoulder.
