Lily woke with a startling screech, as the Knight Bus suddenly pulled itself to a halt. She looked around and saw James sleeping fitfully, looking as if he had no care in the world. Lily didn't know the least of his troubles, at which she was at the top of the list. She snuck a look at his well toned, muscular body and was startled to discover that looking at him no longer made her blood boil. Scared by her own thoughts, Lily turned away from him and tried to go back to sleep. Unlike James, once she woke up, it took her a long time to fall back asleep. She groaned when she realized that she would have bags under her eyes, which would completely ruin her first impression on Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron. Lily buried her head under her pillow and tried to fall asleep. She felt sunlight on her face after what seemed like ten minutes to her. A loud booming voice came over the bus,
"Twenty minutes till the Leaky Cauldron. Leaky Cauldron, twenty minutes."
Lily woke up. Making sure James was still sleeping, she quickly pulled on a button-up blouse, and some jeans. After running a brush through her hair, she woke up James. Or at least she tried.
James grumbled, he pulled up the covers, he put his fingers in his ears, he wrapped the pillow around his head, he did every possible thing to not wake up. However, Lily succeeded and triumphantly told him that they were reaching the Leaky Cauldron in less than ten minutes. She sat grinning on his bed as she watched him run around like a maniac, trying to brush his teeth and find some clothes to wear. She turned her head, though, when he was getting dressed.
"You can watch me if you like, Lily flower" James said, grinning.
She groaned and turned completely around. Lily stood up, and pushed her trunk by the door and made sure that she wasn't forgetting anything. After a while, James got his trunk and stood beside her. The Knight Bus pulled to a stop, and Lily followed James out. They walked into the Leaky Cauldron and went to the front desk where a grey-haired lady was seated. Her name tag read Mary.
"May I help you?"
Lily looked at James and she could see a smile playing at the corner of his lips. He showed no sign of answering, so Lily politely answered,
"Yes ma'am, we're the Head Boy and Girl from Hogwarts. We're here for a Head Students Training Program. I'm Lily Evans and he's James Potter."
Mary raised her eyebrows at Lily and Lily blushed, realizing she had buttoned her shirt all wrong in her hurry. James grinned and Lily looked at him, and what impression they were making on Mary, with Lily's shirt and James' messy hair. She closed her eyes and wished the ground would swallow her up. Of course, she knew no such thing would happen, so Lily took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
"Please come this way. You two have room number 40. I understand that you have nothing going on between you, and Dumbledore has asked me to tell you behave in a dignified manner while you are here." Mary's tone was coolly polite.
Lily quickly looked around and all she saw was a long hallway of rooms, with supply closets in between every tenth room. She sighed, knowing even their new landlady didn't trust them. Lily stopped when she saw James laying on his bed. The only bed. She checked her watch, and it was 9:30 pm. Lily yawned, and was getting tired. Since James had already claimed his territory and there was no way she was sleeping with him, she went to go check in the storage closet for a sleeping bag.
Lily was out looking for a sleeping bag for quite a while so James went to check on her. He saw it was not that small, but it was filled with all kinds of things. Muggle, and wizard. He decided to help her look her. The only problem was that both of them couldn't fit in the doorway of the closet. Lily tripped, and James fell forwards in the closet with her. He flinched when he heard the lock click. Oh, boy, James thought, I'm really in for it now.
Hahaha cliffie!! But you guys will be good right?? And review?? Good cause then I'll put up Chapter 7 later. My chapters will probably stay at about 3 pages in Microsoft Word cause I have a lot of schoolwork to do and not much time to do it. However, I'll try my best to update for you guys every week…probably Saturdays.
