Chapter 13: Should we tell them?

The next day, Lily and James left in the car his father sent over. It was a stretch. The car parked on the corner and the chauffeur packed all 4 trunks. Lily and James sat in the back. James pushed the button and the partition rose. Lily and James sat in the rear of the automobile on separate benches.

James reached for his wand and waved it. James flicked it at the doors with an impervious charm (water-proof). Another wave with "Accio Lily." Lily found herself flying from one side of the car to his into his arms. Yet another wave and she looked down at herself. She was in a bra and short shorts and James, in his boxers. Then "Accio water." The limo had been transformed into a small pool. It was a kind of hot tub. James served two champagne glasses filled with nectar soda. They sat snuggling and sipping.

So it was for nearly 4 hours during the drive to the Potters. They talked, they laughed, and Lily opened up and cried a few times into James' broad muscular shoulder. He was a great comfort to her. She gazed at him for a few moments before giving him a quick peck on the cheek.

Over the speaker, the driver announced their arrival in ten minutes. James muttered a quick "Evanesco" spell and made the water disappear. He swished his wand and they were back in suitable clothes. They sat and talked. They nearly fell asleep in each other's arms. Lily felt warmth and as if she couldn't be more comfortable sitting in a cloud. James rubbed her soft arms and mane of red hair. Heaven!

When they arrived, in addition to their 4 trunks, they saw another 6. The 4 came in as the 6 went out. Both James and Lily were lost. James went to his parents as they ran towards the door. "What's up guys? You leaving?"

"Yes, we're sorry. We have to go to Spain for three weeks."

James and Lily's eyes lit up. They were going to be alone again. Just the two of them. They couldn't be happier. Once his parents were gone, James and Lily carted their bags upstairs. They went into his bedroom and lie down on a plastic sheet. James pressed a red button in front of them as they lie on their fronts. The plastic sheet became longer and twisted until it made a long slide. They went in and out of doors. It led from the living room to the master bedroom. Lily looked up to see the slide stop at the open window on the second floor. However, there were no means of slowing down.

"JAMES!!! STOP THIS NOW BEFORE WE FALL OUT THE WI-AHHHH!!!" Her scream echoed all the way down. They hurtled out the window and fell two stories into his in-ground pool. They laughed.

"Do you have any idea how much you just scared me, James?"

"I was hoping that. Now should I try to comfort you?" "Oh, hell yeah, that could be a major good thing."

So the days went on as such. Kissing, swimming, sleeping- Terrific life!

"So, where are you taking me, James? Hun? Where?"

"Well, my dear. Care to go to Diagon Alley?"

"What do you want to go there for? Any reason in particular?"

"Well, Sirius and Remus want me to meet them there to meet their girlfriends."

"Do they know I'm coming, or to them do we still hate each other?"

"Lily, how could they know? We got back and I haven't left you side since!"

"So, Mr. Potter, how and when did you plan on breaking it to them?"

"Well, I thought walking down the street something like this," he put his hand in her back pocket and kissed her neck, "might do it."

"Yeah, that has a definite chance of doing to the trick."

So, they stepped out of the fireplace and came back out to meet them all.

"Lily!" she looked up at her name and saw Carey and Mariah next to Sirius and Remus.

"So, that's what you 2 have been away to! Leaving me with this!"

She pointed to James who, on cue, slid his hand into her rear pocket.

"Lily?" Mariah chocked. " Do you feel what James is doing to you?"

"Oh yes, I sure as hell do!" She did likewise.

"Lily?" It was Carey's turn. "Do-do-do you mean?"

"We are now inseparable!" Jams bent down and kissed her ear them lips. Remus, Sirius Carey, and Mariah stared, then hooted for them with joy.
