Chapter 4- chilling out

Recap

Lily was such a fun person to be with. She made a joke out of everything but she seemed a bit lost. Emily thought it was just her first day at this job so she might be a bit nervous but that didn't seem right. One thing she knew for sure was that they were going to be great friends if things continue the way it is going.

Within two and a half weeks Emily and James soon became really close friends. To Lily, Emily was like a sister. They got along really well and were always seated together at lunch along with James. James was a really good friend. Lily had to admit he was really hot! But since her father has died she has been under so much emotional stress that she doesn't think she is ready for a relationship.

One day at lunch James and Emily was discussing about their friend. As nice and cheerful Lily pretended she was, James and Emily knew something was wrong with her. Sometimes they catch Lily crying silently to herself or she would just have a really red nose and watery eyes which suggested she had been crying earlier in the day.

"-she's acting funny and she is nearly always looking like she is about to cry." James whispered.

"Yeah. When you ask her why she is crying she would just deny it all." Emily whispered back.

There conversation was interrupted when Lily came up to them and whispered innocently "who are you backstabbing now?"

"Uh…hi lily. We were err… just talking about…err…"James started

"We were just talking about how cute Alice Prewett and Frank Longbottom are as a couple weren't we James?" Emily said helping the stuttering James.

"Err… yeah…aren't they just the cutest?"

"Fine if you don't want to tell me at least make up a better excuse. Seriously you guys are the worse liars I have ever seen."

"So lily are you doing anything next Tuesday? Because if your not want to come and join Emily and I to play some quidditch."

"Next Tuesday is the 28th…." Lily was drawn to think about those little notes that her father has written for her. She can finally open the next one. She snapped out of her trance and replied "sure but I'll have to leave early coz I have something to do later."

"Sure just glad you would be joining us."

Through all the paperwork and extra training to become a very successful auror, Tuesday seemed to come faster than Lily would expect it too.

When Lily finally got to the local quidditch pitch, Emily and James were already there with some other people she didn't know.

"Hey Lily" James said "oh is Lily here already? Emily said.

"Oh by the way Lily I hope you don't mind that Emily and I invited a couple of more friends of ours." Lily nodded in agreement "this one is Sirius black" he pointed in the direction of a dark hair man with a bit of a tan. James then pointed in the opposite direction where there stood a shabby looking guy with brown-blonde hair. "This one is Remus Lupin. We went to school together with Emily."

They spent the whole day playing quidditch. They were joking around and getting to know one another a whole lot better. At the end of the day Lily found out that Emily and Remus used to date and Sirius and James were best friends.

Around 3 in the afternoon they finally retired from quidditch and went to look for a café where they can all have lunch.

They all sat around the table and were eating lunch. They all indulged in their food when a Sirius felt like talking with his mouth full of food. "So um… waumt aretjdls youdfsj dodsfeingds latsdfer?"

Everyone just looked at him with an expression that just about said it all 'what the hell?'

He swallowed the food and repeated "what are you guys doing later? So I was hoping we could go to the bar later on. James and I need to go and check everything is alright."

Remus answered first "well I'm not doing anything. So I may as well go." Emily agreed with Remus.

"What about you Lily? Are you doing anything?" James asked.

"Well I'm not doing anything but i'm feeling really tired so I think i'm going to have an early night tonight." She lied. The truth was tonight at midnight would be time for her to open her next letter from her father. She really wanted to read what ever he wrote for her.

James was disappointed but covered it up with a smile and said "well next time then."
