Little Moments

Summary: Lily Evans was never paid heed to be the Marauders. Why should this year be any different? But there is one difference in this year; the six years are assigned to be a job shadow for two months. Lily Evans is assigned to be a Medi-witch. James falls off his broom and has to spend a few weeks in the hospital wing. Rated R for language and sex. R/R!

A/n: My first Lily/James story. I hope it turns out the way I want it to. I have so many ideas for it that I didn't know which one to do. Finally I decided to explain out how Lily and James got together, of course, and why Peter Pettigrew suddenly held a grudge against the two. Just what did drive him to do what he did? I hope to explain that in this story! So sit back and enjoy!

Chapter Seventeen: Do you want to know a secret?

The next morning I woke up cold. I could feel the muscle in my shoulder aching because of the position I was in. I groaned. Since when was Hogwarts this cold? I pulled my blanket up to my chin and snuggled into it. It smelt...different. Like...James. My eyes fluttered open, and my memory also fluttered back to me.

I was in James's cold basement with a blanket wrapped around me. James was at the other in of the couch with out a blanket. He was still sound a sleep. I sighed and stretched my arms over my head.

I groaned as my shoulder throbbed. That blue couch was the worst couch I had ever spent the night on. I rolled my shoulder praying that it would stop soon. To me, nothing is worse than a tensed up muscle. Except maybe a hang-over.

I jumped as I felt two hands start rubbing my shoulders. I looked behind me to see James yawning loudly.

"Morning. We must have fallen asleep." I nodded as he continued rubbing my shoulders.

I leaned my head forward, "Oooww. It hurts."

He chuckled, "You're such a baby."

A loud clanking noise sounded from upstairs making me jump. James chuckled some more, "Looks like the parents are up."

I watched him stand up and stretch his whole body. I smiled slightly as he fell right back on the couch next to me.

"I wanna sleep more." He mumbled into the cushions, "You go meet my parents alone. If they don't like you...stick out your wand for the knight bus."

My eyes widened. Was he serious? I turned to face him. His eyes were closed and he appeared to be very much asleep. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"I was only joking." He opened his eyes, "Jeez, not much of a morning person, are you?" I only half smiled. I had no clue what time it was, but it was way too early to be up on a day I didn't have to be in classes.

"James?" I said quietly as he stood back up, "What if they don't like me?"

He shrugged, "I guess you'll have to go back to Hogwarts, or you could stay here and live with their gripping for a few weeks."

"Oh." I mumbled. How bad could it be, right? I mean, I'm a nice girl. I can do this without them getting mad at me. Beside, I'm sure they didn't like Sirius because he made some cruel remark that was supposed to be funny.

"You'll be fine. Just be sure to not mention anything about muggles around my father, even if he asks you about them. He's just testing you. And don't help my mother with clean or cooking. She thinks she's the mom she should do it herself. She considers anyone that offers to help rude. Oh, and try not to make eye contact at the table. They hate that."

I frowned, "Ok."

"Let's go." He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. He led the way up the old wooden stairs.

"Just remember what I told." He mumbled as we walked down the yellow hallways. I could smell breakfast cooking. Once again, it smelt wonderful. James dropped my hand as we reached the kitchen.

"Mom. Dad." James said as we entered the kitchen. I hid semi-behind James feeling a little nervous.

"James! My baby!" His mom yelled dropping whatever she was doing to run to his side. She immediately pulled him into a hug. I smiled as James returned her hug with just as much enthusiasm.

They must have a great relationship. Kind of like me and my Mom. We've always felt I could tell her just about anything that came to my mind. She was always the first to know everything. We were really close until we found out I was a witch. Then she started to spend more time with Petunia and less with me, but I still loved her dearly.

"Frank! Frank!" Mrs. Potter yelled loudly, "Frank, come in here and see your son."

A middle aged man entered the room. He looked very much like an older version of James. It was rather amusing.

"James, It's good to have you home." He held out his hand, and his son shook it.

"It's good to be home." James grinned. Finally Mr. Potter pulled James, using his hand, into a huge hug, "I missed you, son."

"I missed you too, Dad." James said as the hug ended.

"And who is this?" All eyes turned to me. James must have forgotten I was here. Hell, I even forgot I was there. It was seemed so much like I was watching a movie.

James grinned and stood next to me, "This is Lily Evans. One of my friends." I waited for a reaction. I had never had the skill of reading people. They both just started at me expectantly.

"I...uh...Hi." I curtsied quickly. James snorted from next to me. A blush took over my cheeks as I realized what I did.

Mr. Potter was the first to speak, "Hello, Lily." He smiled, "It's nice to meet you."

He shook my hand, "It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Potter."

"Oh, Please, call me Frank." I nodded politely.

"Are you James's girlfriend?" Mrs. Potter asked suddenly.

"Ma!" James groaned dropping his head.

I blushed again, "No, ma'am. He's just a friend."

"Oh well then, I assume James made up the guest room for you."

I nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Potter."

"Please, call me Harriet" I nodded happily. So far things were going great.

Breakfast started and ended terribly. I did just as James told me to. I looked at my plate the whole time unless I was being spoken too. Which wasn't very often. When it ended, Mrs. Pott-I mean-Harriet announced for the boys to go into the living room that she would clean up. I was about to offer to help, but I remembered James had told me not to; So, I followed the boys into the living room.

"So, Lily, are you a pureblood?" Frank Potter asked sitting on an arm chair in front of a lit fire place.

"I'm muggle-born, sir." I smiled taking a seat next to James on the leather couch.

"Muggle-born, very interesting. You're in your 6th year too, correct?"

"Yes, sir." He pulled out the paper from a basket full of magazines next to him, and began to read it. I shifted uncomfortably. There was a bunch of tension in the room for some odd reason.

"Can you explain to me how a muggle car works?" He asked without looking over the paper. I opened my mouth to answer but James coughed loudly next to me. I immediately re-thought my answer.

"Umm, No, Sir. I can't." He looked over the top of the paper giving me an odd look. I stood up, "If you'll excuse me. I'm going to go take a shower." He nodded slightly still wearing that confused look.

I was so relieved to get away from that tension filled room, and James was no help what so ever! I ran into the guest room. I blushed as I remembered how awful everything had been. I needed to do something to fix this mess I've made.

i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!

"Come on! Let's just draw names now." I heard Sirius's voice as I walked slowly down the stairs.

"No," Peter said, "We have to wait until Lily gets down here."

I walked down a few more steps to listen to what they were saying. No, I wasn't eavesdropping. I was simply listening for my name.

"That Lily is something else." I heard Harriet say.

"What do you mean?" Frank asked.

"Well, She didn't say one word at breakfast, and I thought it was a bit rude that she didn't offer to help clean up the dishes afterwards. I guess, Muggles are a lot different than we thought."

"I think I know what you mean, honey. I asked her to explain how a muggle car works and she said she could and fled from the room." I frowned in confusion. Was that what I was supposed to do?

Sirius's voice reached my ears next, "Lily did that? That doesn't sound lik- OW!" He yelled cutting off the rest of his sentence. I rolled my eyes putting two and two together. It seemed James had tricked me yet again. Damn him.

"James!" I called out sweetly, "Could you come up here, please?" Just as expected he excused himself from the room and headed for the stairs. I backed into a convenient little dark corner. As soon as he was on about the sixth step I grabbed his collar and shoved him lightly against the wall.

"Whoa," He said surprisingly calm, "Lily, I've heard of desperate virgins, but..."

"Shut up, Potter." I said harshly. I was sick of his stupid pranks. They were quite frankly annoying. "How could you do that?"

"Do what?" He asked innocently.

"Tell me to do things to make your parents not like me! Is this your idea of a joke!" I whispered harshly.

He clicked his tongue, "Tsk, Evans, Tsk. Were you eavesdropping?"

I blushed, "I-uh...I was...um" No! He wasn't going to turn this around. He wasn't going to make me out to be the bad person. "So what if I was? What you did was far worse!"

He grinned, "It was just a joke." I glared at him hoping he would get the idea that I wasn't joking.

"Relax," He continued smoothly, "My parents will love you. I was just having a little fun with you. That's all." He walked down a few steps, "Come on. We're drawing names for Secret Santa."

"I was just having a little fun with you. That's all." I mocked as soon as he was out of ear shot. What a prat.

i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!

"Oooo, I got-"

"Sirius!" Harriet scolded smacking the back of his head lightly, "You know the rules. We do this every year."

I grinned and took a piece of paper from the small ash tray in Frank's hand. I was beginning to like Harriet more and more. I loved the way she handled Sirius. I had yet to hear him mock something she told him. She is probably the only woman in the world who he would listen to. I unfolded the sheet of paper. Scribbled in sloppy handwriting was the name: Remus. I smiled. That was going to be a good challenge. I would have to do some snooping to find out what he was into.

"Who'd you get, Lily?" Sirius grinned trying to trick me.

I rolled my eyes and replied sarcastically, "Elvis."

He frowned, "Who?"

I sighed and shook my head, "Never mind." I knew this Christmas was going to be very interesting, but I sure did miss my family.
