(Lily's POV)

James was the one to answer the door. I started to laugh when I saw the surprised look on his face. "How'd you get here so fast?" he asked still looking dumbfounded.

"I ran," I answered him truthfully.

"Yea, whatever. Come in," he said believing me story.

I stayed put on the porch, "You don't believe me do you?"

"To tell you the truth. No, don't . Now come in. I want you to meet Sirius," he demanded I decided to brush it off, I didn't want to stay on James's porch arguing with him all night, now did I? I followed James into his house. This was my first time in his house. It was like no other house I had ever seen in my life. In the kitchen, the dishes did themselves, a broom was sweeping the floor, and snakes slithered out of nowhere when we walked by, " would you like a snack?" James asked

"Sure" I was scared that if I took the food, invisible hands would grab my wrists. But they didn't. In the living room, the couch talked, the TV turned on as you walked by, and the knitting did itself.

(James's POV)

I could tell that she was afraid of my house. "Where's Sirius?" she asked, her voice sacking a little.

"He's upstairs, I'll get him for you," I thought it would be funny for call Sirius down like muggles, "Sirius! Come down here! I want you to meet someone!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"Who!" he yelled back.

" A very nice GIRL!" I made sure I emphasized 'girl'. With that Sirius came running down the stairs to meet this 'very nice girl' I was talking about.

(Lily's POV)

A pale black haired boy came running down the stairs, and stopped right in front of me. He bowed and asked, "And who is this lovely young lady?" taking my hand.

"This is a good friend of mine. I've known her since we were little kids," James was trying to be funny. I was trying so hard not to laugh at how much Sirius was interested in me.

"You kept me from this beauty that long? Tisk, tisk Jamesey, tisk, tisk," he said waving a finger in front of James' nose. "Anyway who is she?"

I spoke up, "I'm Lily Evans. You know the one you were eavesdropping on earlier today?" I smiled an evil smile.

"Your kidding! Your Lily Evans? Wow, James, no wonder you like-" James gave him a horrible glare.

"What were you saying, Sirius?" I asked sweetly, trying to make him tell me what James didn't want me to know.

"Nevermind," he mumbled.

James plopped down on the couch, "Well are you tow going to sit down?" Sirius sat down in an armchair and I sat down, in the only other place there was to sit, on the couch.

As I lowered myself on the couch, someone said from behind me, "Hay new comer," I stood back up looking frantically around to see who said it. James and Sirius, seeing my face, started laughing

un-controllably.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I demanded.

"Your face," James said through his laughter.

After they calmed down Sirius explained who, or what spoke, "It was the couch."

"I didn't think that was very funny. James, Sirius, you two better watch yourselves at school. I'll remember this. Especially you James, you played one too many pranks on me," I pointed my index finger at them. Their faces went blank at once. I'm giving a guess that James told Sirius how I paid him back at school.

"Well," I said sitting back on the couch next to James, "what else did you want to tell me? I mean I can leave now if all you wanted me to do is meet Sirius," I was starting to get up and leave, when Sirius and James grabbed my wrists and pulled me back to the couch. I could sense that they pulled me back for different reasons.

She can't leave she has to fall for James or me before she leaves. That sounded like Sirius. Was I reading Sirius' thoughts? No, don't leave Lily! My parents need to talk to you before you go. That sounded like James. Am I going crazy?

"Lily!" a far off voice said, it sounded like James. "Lily!" he repeated, but louder, "Lily, Lily, wake up!" I realized my eyes were closed. I fluttered my eyelids open. I saw, James hovering right in front of my face, and behind him Sirius, and Mrs. And Mr. Potter. "Lily are you alright?" James asked.

"Yea I'm fine, but what happened?"

(James' POV)

Thank god, she's alright. "You kind of fainted into my arms after Sirius and I pulled you back to the couch?" I explained to Lily.

"I've got three more questions," she said looking into my eyes.
