Chapter 1- The Start of Something New
Lily Evans strode down the streets of Hogsmeade Village, enjoying her day off from the ministry. She had decided to apparate to Hogsmeade because she had become extremely bored in her small apartment. She passed many odd yet interesting witches and wizards. Also a few teens from Hogwarts on their Hogsmeade weekend. Lily decided to go inside Zonko's Joke Shop, even though it was a very childish store. What she saw took her breath away. A man with untidy black hair, hazel eyes, and glasses, was standing next to a little girl and helping her reach a very rude teddy bear on one of the top shelves. The girl smiled at the man and hugged his thigh, which was as far up as she could reach of him.
"Thank you, sir!" She said as she walked away.
"Don't insult your mum with that bear!" The man laughed. He turned to face Lily, and smiled. Lily quickly looked away, realizing she was staring.
"Hello, miss. Fine day, isn't it?" His eyes twinkled behind his glasses.
"Ye-yes, very nice." Lily gasped, inwardly screaming at herself for stuttering.
The man held out his hand, "James Potter."
Lily shook it, "Lily Evans." When their hands touched, a shot of electricity surged through their bodies. Lily felt somehow…connected to this man who called himself James Potter.
"Er..um..nice to meet you Mr. Potter." Lily stammered.
"Oh please, call me James, Lily."
"Okay Mr-I mean James. So do you have any particular profession?" Lily asked, trying to stir up conversation. For some reason, she didn't want to leave this man and continue her stroll.
"Yeah, actually. I'm an auror at the ministry of magic. So what-"
"So am I! I wonder why I haven't seen you around the ministry at all…" Lily's emerald eyes widened, surprised they were both aurors at the ministry.
"Well, the ministry is pretty large. And usually I'm always all over the place. No one ever knows where I've slipped off to." James grinned at Lily. James glanced at his watch. Tonight was a full moon. James wanted to be with Remus, even though he'd be perfectly fine taking his wolfsbane potion.
"Well, Lily, I guess I'll see you around. Maybe at the ministry café. I need my coffee in the morning." James smiled, nodded, and disapparated once out the door. Lily stood there, glued to the floor. She knew she had just met an extrodinary wizard. Little did she know, he was thinking the same about her.
