Chapter 2: Shouting and Thanks
Lily's stomach did sickly churns and twists in the fire, and then she soon landed on her feet in the den of either a very large house or a very small mansion. The den was very classical with black leather couches and chairs around the room sitting on off white carpet. Behind them was a stained black fireplace that they had flooed through. It was a very rich looking home, for Lily spotted several trinkets that looked as if they each cost a sack of galleons. Lily also noticed a surprising number of photos around the room. A particular one caught her eye. It was a photo of a family of three. There was a very stunning woman with long black hair and hazel, and almond shaped eyes. There was a tall man beside her with his arm wrapped around her waist with unruly brown hair and blue eyes. In front of the couple was a boy of about 11 with what looked like a Hogwarts letter in his hand. The boy had messy jet black hair and hazel eyes. James Potter.
After looking around the room, Lily turned back to Riley with her mouth open and a furious look on her face. Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the same boy from the picture grabbing Riley around the waist from behind and hugging her.
"My favorite cousin is finally here!" he exclaimed to Riley's giggling.
James was wearing dark jeans, with a blue t-shirt on over it. You could see every muscle in his chest and arms move through that shirt. He looked all together very comfortable and Lily had to say, he was looking quite nice.
Lily cleared her throat to announce her presence. James looked up and his mouth dropped.
"Evans?" he gawked. "You're staying here?" Turning to Riley, his eyes wide he repeated, "She's staying here?"
Lily glared over at an un-abashed Riley. "Obviously she didn't tell you either. Riles...can I see you in the next room for a moment?" she asked sweetly, "Alone" she added, glancing at James.
Riley grinned brightly. "Sure, you bestest friend of mine!" she gushed hoping to lighten her mood.
Following Lily into the kitchen she awaited the shouts and accusations that were sure to come. Sure enough, Lily began angrily shouting.
"THIS IS POTTER'S HOUSE! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! I HAVE KNOWN YOU SINCE THE FIRST DAY OF HOGWARTS AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE COUSINS! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU RILEY ADDISON CARLSON! I WOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW IF I WOULDN'T GO TO AZKABAN! DON'T YOU "I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU" ME! 'CAUSE, YEAH YOU SHOULD OF! I AM GOING TO GET MY TRUNK AND LEAVE RIGHT N—NO, I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! THIS IS CALM FOR HOW I REALLY SHOULD BE ACTING RIGHT NOW! I SHOULD BE STRANGLING YOU!"
After a few more minutes of screaming, Lily returned followed by a slightly grinning Riley. If Riley was supposed to be guilty, her face sure didn't show it. She looked plainly amused, which of course infuriated Lily into another course of screams. Finally calming down again she took long deep breaths.
James raised an eyebrow. "Feel better?" he asked cockily, with that annoying smirk plastered on his face.
Lily glared at him long and hard. "DON'T talk to me, Potter." she stated angrily.
James just grinned and nodded. "Alright, but before I stop talking shall I escort you to you're rooms?" he asked in a gentlemanly like fashion.
Lily rolled her eyes. "I don't care." she said begrudgingly.
He then held out his arm for her. Lily glanced at it and then up at James, back down at the arm, and back up at him before raising an eyebrow. Crossing her arms over her chest, her eyes were bold and she locked her jaw.
James shrugged. "Have it your way then." He then picked up her and Riley's trunks.
Lily made a scoffing noise and tugged her trunk away from him. "I can carry it myself!" she snapped.
James grinned looking amused. "Evans, it's alright to have a little help once in a while." he said, easily lifting Riley's and pulling hers back.
Lily yanked it away again, although it was quite heavy. "I don't need help from you. I can take it myself." she said scathingly.
James shrugged again and started up the stairs. Riley walked with him, keeping up with his stride. Lily on the other hand, was lagging behind, panting from the weight of her trunk.
"So James, how has your summer been so far?" Riley asked as they trudged up.
James rolled his eyes. "Riles, it's only been three days since vacation started. Nothing's happened yet."
Lily shuddered and reminded herself never to call her best friend Riles EVER again.
Riley grinned. "Just lookin' for some small talk." she said as they reached her room.
As James opened the door for her and put Riley's trunk down, Lily gaped at the room. It had purple carpet and the walls were pink. She had a queen sized bed and her own bathroom. There were posters all over her walls and it seemed that she was over at her cousins house quite a lot. She also had a television, a stereo, and other electronics all over the place. Lily faintly wondered why he had all these muggle devices. Though Lily was still gawking, Riley walked in like it wasn't anything special.
"Thanks James, er—I'll be out in a bit, Lils, I'm gunna go pack."
As the door closed, Lily rolled her eyes. Riley wasn't really going to unpack, she just wanted Lily and James to be alone.
Glaring down at her heavy trunk, she dropped it. She couldn't carry that thing any longer. Her arms felt like they were about to fall off and her hip felt like it had a bruise on it already from steadying the trunk on it. James looked surprised for a minute, before Lily huffed.
"Fine. I do need help." she admitted, though it took everything she had to say that to him.
James nodded and picked it up, carrying it easily. Lily was surprised that he had restrained himself from saying anything arrogant so far.
"Let's go them m'lady." Lily gave him an annoyed look as he said that and he just grinned cheekily at her.
As they walked along, Lily couldn't help but get a squirmy feeling in her stomach when she saw his muscles ripple through his shirt as he shifted the weight off her trunk. Letting out a long breath, trying to clear her head of those thoughts, she wondered why she hadn't met his parents yet. Were they even here? As curiosity overcome her she asked him.
James grinned. "I thought I wasn't supposed to talk to you?" he said. Seeing Lily's murderous glare he cleared his throat and answered her. "They're taking a vacation to France this summer." he said.
Lily raised an eyebrow. "So they left you here?...Alone? They think you're responsible enough?"
James shrugged. "They trust me...and I won't be alone. You and Riley are here, and Sirius, Remus, and Payton are coming over later tomorrow." he said.
Lily nodded and couldn't help but grin as they reached her room. It was exactly like Riley's except it was her two favorite colors—blue and purple. She sat comfortably on her large bed as James set her trunk down beside her. As he turned to leave, Lily bit her lip.
"Uh, Potter?"
James turned around and looked questioningly at her. Lily took a deep breath as if saying this one word was the hardest thing in the world to do.
"I just wanted to say, er—thanks.You know, for carrying my trunk." she said.
James looked slightly taken aback but nodded. "No problem.." he said. Giving her a slight smile he left her in peace to unpack, closing the door behind him.
As Lily lay back on her bed, she couldn't help but wonder when James had become so attractive and nice. Shaking the thoughts from her head, she began unpacking.
Just as all of her clothes and shoes were in the closets and drawers, Riley walked in, grinning wickedly.
"Soooo...Lils. How ya doin so far? James didn't make a move on ya did he?"
Lily glared at Riley. "I'm doing fine and NO he didn't. It's not as if he could anyways." she said stubbornly.
Riley just grinned. "Okay, if you say so."
"I do say so."
Riley sighed. How long would it take Lily to get that her and James were perfect for each other? Oh, well she'd just have to wait it out. Well, maybe she could speed things up just a little bit.
Sighing, Riley rested her chin on her hand. "Lils?"
Lily, who was daydreaming made a 'hmm?' sound.
"Don't you think James is cute?" she asked dreamily.
Lily smiled slightly, still staring out into space. "Yeah..." she muttered before snapping out of it. "Wait! Ewww! He's your cousin!"
But Riley was already jumping up and down laughing. "Haha, I got you! You think he's cute! You think he's cute!" she teased.
Lily shrieked and put a hand over Riley's mouth. "Shutup! I did not say that!"
When Riley slobbered all over her hand, she was forced to let go. "Eeeww!" she screamed, holding up her drenched hand.
Riley laughed and stuck her tongue out.
Lily glared at her. "Not a word about what was just said in here or I WILL kill you!" she threatened, reusing her words from earlier.
"Ah hah! You've admitted it!"
Lily glared at her again.
Riley just shrugged, and grinning walked towards the door. Right after she walked out, the door opened again and she stuck her head back in.
"You think he's cuuuuttteeee!" she sang, before slamming the door shut again as a pillow was thrown at her.
