Lily followed James and Sirius up the stairs. House elves scurried past them with smiles.
"My mum'll be home in a few seconds." James told Lily, knowing her mother would ask.
Lily nodded. "Thanks."
Just as that was said, there was a faint pop in the living room downstairs.
"We spoke to soon." James muttered.
Sirius sniggered.
The three some went back downstairs to greet Mrs. Potter.
"Oh, Lily, hello darling!" Mrs. Potter said when she saw Lily.
"Hey Mrs. Potter." Lily replied.
"How many times must I tell you?" she replied with a smile. "Call me Jane."
Lily gave her a small nod.
"How's your mother?"
"Great."
Jane Potter and Lily's mother, Angela, had known each other since Lily met James. Angela had liked Jane and Lily wasn't able to persuade her mother that James was a prat. Angela and Jane got together, causing the two teens to be made to attend. Since then, Lily and James had been close friends and growing closer through the course of their seventh year, when Lily and James were announced Head Boy and Girl.
James and Sirius stood behind them, rolling their eyes at the two girls talking.
"Well, tell her I said hello." Jane concluded her conversation with Lily.
"I will." Lily replied.
She walked to James and Sirius who pretended as if they hadn't been doing anything.
"What were you up to?" Lily asked them suspiciously.
"Nothing." Sirius replied.
"You were rolling your eyes, huh?"
"Do you have eyes in the back of your head?" Sirius said, going behind Lily to examine the back of her head.
Lily smiled and rolled her eyes.
"No, Sirius. But, I can give you that if you wish." Lily told him jokingly, raising her wand.
Sirius backed away, smiling.
James grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her up the stairs. Sirius fell behind, sniggering.
James dragged her to his room and closed the door behind them once Sirius entered.
"So, what's up?" James asked.
"Nothing." Lily said, falling onto James's bed with a sigh.
James's eyes went wide but, unnoticed to Lily who had her eyes shut.
"So, who do you…?" James began.
"Sirius, you should best get going now!" Jane Potter yelled up to Sirius. "Your mother will worry!"
Sirius grumbled but yelled back, "Yeah. Okay."
"Bye, Padfoot. See ya later." James said.
"If they haven't killed me." Sirius joked.
James smiled at the joke and so did Lily.
Sirius went out the bedroom door and closed it with a last, small wink at James before leaving.
James rolled his eyes and looked at Lily who was looking at him with a smile.
"Whatcha wanna do?" she asked with a small smile.
James thought.
"Quidditch!" he said and took Lily's hand, dragging her to the backyard.
