Chapter two: The Unexpected Neighbor

The next day you would fine Lily Evans running around her room grabbing anything she could find to put in her trunk; clothes, school supplies and her cat, Socks, nestled in her cage.

Downstairs Dorcas was sitting in the kitchen table talking with Rose and Daniel Evans. Rose was cooking a breakfast for her family while Daniel sat opposite Dorcas chatting away.

"How are you finding school Dorcas?" he asked.

"Oh I love school! I mean the homework can suck but since when was homework any fun?" she smiled at Mr. Evans as he laughed.

"Yes, I understand where you coming from. Homework can be quiet…sucky?" he said with a teasing smile.

Mrs. Evans smiled at the pair's conversation. "I hope you don't mind waiting for Lily, Dorcas, she would be done earlier…" now turning her head up the stair and raising her voice loud enough for Lily to hear all the way in her room, "…had she remember to pack yesterday when she should have."

"Ok, ok Mum. I got the picture, last minute packing bad. SORRY DORCAS!" Lily yelled down the stairs.

Dorcas just smiled and yelled back "IT'S COOL LILS!" before continuing the conversation with Mr. Evans.

After an hour Dorcas and the Evans were sitting in the dinning room eating breakfast and laughing at a comment Mr. Evans just made. All except Petunia who just smiled bitterly and stood up.

"Daddy, can I go see Vernon now. Please!" she whined childishly.

Dorcas stifling a laugh as Lily rolled her eyes and did an imitation of her sister.

"Sure sweetie. Be back home by 10 tonight." Daniel remarked.

Petunia shot for the door the moment she had heard 'Sure sweetie' just hearing the last of what her father had said from the front door.

"We better get going now as well actually. Thanks for breakfast Mrs. Evans, it was delicious." Dorcas said with a charming smile, also standing up, and picking up her plate.

"Your welcome dear and just leave the plate. I'll take it later." Rose said waving her arm to put the plate down.

Lily rose from her seat and went to get her things, Dorcas running after her.

"Here let me help." She said with an innocent smile and picked up Socks' cage and turned to say goodbye to the Evans's who had come to the door to see them off.

"Don't strain yourself." Lily muttered to Dorcas, who replied with another innocent smile. Lily went on tip toes to kiss her dad on the cheek before hugging her mum and walking out the door.

"Bye Mum, see you Dad." Lily yelled over her shoulder already heading for the front gate.

"Bye Mr. and Mrs. Evans." Dorcas said while running out the door to catch up with Lily.

Waving goodbye Lily and Dorcas headed down Privet Drive.

"I sure hope we aren't walking all the way to your house Dorcy." Lily stated.

Dorcas laughed. "No. You see dear Lily Petal, I have turned seventeen and am now able to do magic out of Hogwarts." She taunted, as if talking to a two year old.

Lily stuck her tongue out at Dorcas and said, "Then let's go already!"

"Ok, ok. We'll go down this alley so we won't be seen." Dorcas said while grabbing Lily's arm and dragging her down the alley and closed her eyes. A small pop was heard as they left and appeared in front of Dorcas' huge house.

Lily's eyes bulged out of her head and her mouth dropped open.

"This is your 'house'? Looks more like a mansion!" Lily commented in awe of the two story house.

Dorcas laughed. "You haven't seen anything until you go into Ja…I mean my neighbors' house. It's got about 5 stories!" she sated pointing at the house across the road.

Lily turned to face the opposite side of the street and gasped. Dorcas wasn't exaggerating, the house across the street was massive, and it looked like an old fashioned castle.

"C'mon Lils, let's get you unpacked then we can visit the guys next door." Dorcas said leaning on the door frame of her front door.

A few hours later, after a small amount of unpacking and a lot more pillow fighting, the girls went over to the guys' house next door.

While Lily seemed excited to meet the guys Dorcas had been talking about since she moved there two years ago, Dorcas seemed cautious and continued to side glance at Lily.

What is she up to? Thought Lily, but pushed that aside as they approached the front door.

Dorcas took a deep breath before knocking. The door opened and standing there was an extremely hansom figure with unruly black hair and warm hazel eyes behind round brimmed glasses. James Potter looked at Dorcas then turned to Lily, bewilderment filling his eyes, but nothing in compare to Lily's shocked emerald ones.

"Evans?" James stuttered.

"Potter!" Lily said very startled.

"Lily." Dorcas said cautiously ready to explain everything but was cut off as the door opened wider to reveal another hansom boy with flowing raven hair that feel gracefully into his grey-blue eyes.

"Sirius!" said none other then Sirius Black himself enthusiastically, thinking they were playing a name game of some sort.

Dorcas rolled her eyes at Sirius then turned her attention toward Lily.

"What are you doing here?" asked James, still in a state of shock.

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Lily stated furrowing her brow then turning to face Dorcas. "Dorcas." she said menacingly

Dorcas swallowed then walked backwards in through James's doorway so that she was now standing behind the two tall boys.

"Yes Lils?" she asked sweetly.

Lily glared furiously at her then whispered darkly, an obvious sign that she was extremely mad, "Your house. Now." Then turned and walked back into Dorcas' house.

"Uh oh. I'll see you round boys. I've got some explaining to do." Dorcas said squeezing between the guys and made to walk back to her house but was stopped as a pair of arms incased her waist. She groaned in frustration.

"Let me go Black."

"No I don't think I will, I'm quiet comfortable like this." He said cheekily pulling Dorcas closer to him.

"Black, let me go before I make you." Dorcas said dangerously.

"Now, now Meadows, we all know violence isn't the answer." He taunted.

"No? Its worked wonders for me, like now for example." She said before elbowing him in the stomach and escaping from his weakened grasp, walking with her head held high and hips swaying proudly.

Sirius gasped for breath at the sudden blow. Leaning on James for support as he looked up at Dorcas' turned back his eyes fixed on her hips.

"She wants me, Prongs, I know she does." He said confidently a smirk on his lips.

James just laughed and shoved Sirius back inside, as he turned to close the door he looked over at Dorcas' house thinking of the girl with dancing red hair, a longing look in his eyes before he shut the door.
