Now on with the story!


Lily was feeling very nervous during the drive back to the Potters' house. James's father was using a muggle car and he explained to her that he found it very useful when he was supposed to come to the train stations to pick up his boys. He had even got permission from the Ministry of Use of Muggle items to try and get his muggle driving licence. Lily was trying to answer as nicely as she could but she was still shocked about the news and humiliation Vernon Dursley had given to her just a couple of minutes ago. Plus, she was currently sitting at the back of a muggle car, with James Potter's parents at the front, and Sirius Black and James Potter at the back with her. It was very uncomfortable for her. Although she was reviewing her feelings over James, there was no way she could forgive that Black boy about what he did to her. He had been way too mean around her. Then she wondered what it would be like to live in James's house. She had to admit that she was quite curious about it. The first thing she'll be doing would be checking if they had a telephone, after all they seemed to be quite into muggle things so why not? If she remembered well, James was living in London so even if they had no telephone, she'll be able to find a public phone or something to look for her sister's phone number. She needed to speak with her. After all, that pig of her fiancé might have lied to her. How she missed her parents. Now she deeply regretted she couldn't go and see them at the Christmas break. On the one hand, Petunia was very unfair with her, she had no right to avoid her sister to attend their parents' funerals, but on the other hand, Lily deeply felt guilty about her parents' death. She was now once again on the verge of tears and she was fighting against it. She didn't want James's parents to pity her anymore than they were already doing. She then suddenly felt James's hand over her own one. She looked at him and he was shyly smiling at her, blushing a little bit. She smiled as well, not to make him understand she was happy, but more in a thankful way. He then held her hand tighter to let her understand he was there for her. Lily really appreciated it, the events she had been leaving within the latest days got the best of herself and she slowly began to give in the sleep she needed so much helped by the movement of the car. She had fall asleep trying to stay as straight as she could but as the car took a sharp left, her head landed on James shoulder. This one did nothing to avoid it and cherished the minutes he had his Lily closer to him than he ever had. Sirius had been looking at them from the corner of his eyes. The silent dialogue that was taking place between them, and the silent acceptation of Lily as she allowed James to hold her hand. He was feeling ashamed of his behaviour towards Lily during the year and desperately was looking for some way to amend. He knew it would be tough. Lily was not going to be an easy forgiver. And he could understand it. He wouldn't forgive easily either if he was in her place. He knew he had to find a way very quickly otherwise the summer at the Potters would be very tense. As he had been kicked out of his house by his parents for his lack of sense as they told him, he was now living full time with the Potters. They had welcomed him as a second son and he was considering them as the parents he had always wanted to have. As James's father parked the car in a huge driveway, James started to blush as he saw his mother looking at him with Lily still asleep on his shoulder. She smiled at him as if telling him it was all right and she slowly opened the door on Lily's side trying not to wake her up. But as the car was not moving anymore, Lily was starting to stir and she noticed where she had fall asleep. To James's surprised she looked up at him smiling. She muttered a barely audible 'thank you' and she got out of the car to pick up her things.

The good thing about being a wizard and having a muggle car was that you could bewitch it whenever you needed it so that all of the luggage could fit in it. Lily was trying to carry her heavy trunk but Mrs Potter stopped her smiling. She then put a locomotor spell on it and Lily thanked her. Then she looked up at the house to have a better look at the place where she was going to spend her summer. She was speechless. It was huge. She knew the Potters were wealthy but she had no idea how much they were. James had been taken care of his trunk and Lily's so she was now left with Sirius. Looking at her in pure awe of the house in front of her, Sirius could not help but tease her.

"Come on Cinderella, Prince Charming's waiting for you inside," he teased.

"You'll never take a break in teasing, do you?" asked Lily heading towards the monumental stairs leading to the entrance of the house.

Sirius ran after her. "Lily? Wait a second, please." He asked her.

She turned around surprised at his use of such a polite word. She stared at him waiting for him to continue.

"I'm really sorry for all that I did to you this year." He said looking very sincere.

Lily considered his apologies and she answered him "I can accept your apologies Sirius, but it won't be that easy to forget all that you did to me."

"I know, I've been horrible to you Lily, but trust me, I'll make it up, I promise!" he told her.

"It's beyond me how you and James could change so much in a matter of a few days. I really hope this isn't pity." She said.

"It's not; I can assure you that pity isn't involved in that change. Of course we feel bad for you, but it's not pity." he said. Then he extended his hand to her. "Peace?" he asked.

Lily considered his hand a few seconds and smiled taking his hand in hers. "Peace." She answered.

"So are you guys coming in or what?" asked a very impatient James Potter from the house.

"Coming!" they answered him in unison.


As she entered the house, Lily was even more impressed. It was decorated with much good taste and the furniture was clearly of very good quality. It was a very subtle mix of the muggle and the wizard worlds. Lily liked it very much. Except for Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, she had never in her life entered a wizards' house before. She was looking at the wizards appliances with much interest and James and Sirius were there to explain to her everything. Then they headed to their rooms to get ready for dinner. James and Sirius had their rooms ready and Lily's room was on the other side of the hallway. As she saw another door she assumed it was James' parents' bedroom. The boys laughed and explained her that it was another guest room.

"We're having the whole level for ourselves," explained James.

"Wow," only answered Lily. Then she entered her room and got ready for dinner. She then tried to find the kitchen to help Mrs Potter to prepare dinner. As she arrived down the stairs, she realized she did not know where the kitchen was and she did not dare opening different doors to check if it was the right one. She was starting to feel like an idiot when James joined her downstairs.

"Need some help?" he asked.

"I was looking for the kitchen to help your mother," answered Lily.

"Follow me and I'll show you around," said James.

As they were heading towards the kitchen, Lily saw a telephone and she stopped in front of it.

"James, is it a muggle one?" she asked.

"Yep, and it's hooked to the muggle's network."

"Do you think your parents would mind if I use it?" she asked again.

"Of course not! Go ahead and use it." said James.

Lily tried to do her parents phone number, hoping the house had not been sold as Vernon had told her. Unfortunately, she only reached a recorded message stating that the phone number was no longer in function. As she hung up the phone, Lily closed her eyes, fighting the tears that once again were threatening to cascade down her face. James put a hand on her shoulder and made her turn around to face him. Then he pulled her to him and held her tight.

They did not notice that Sirius was looking at them with a grin on his face. He tiptoed back to his room finally getting an idea to gain Lily's total forgiveness.

"Thank you James" said Lily reluctantly getting out of his arms. "I really needed it."

"Any time Lily, anytime. Just ask and I'll be there." He said staring straight at her.

"Can I try again?" she asked gesturing the telephone.

"Of course, go ahead." He said.

"I'm going to try to find my sister's new phone number. I need to know where my parents are buried. She can't possibly let me without this information." said Lily.
Then she dialled the phone number the English muggle were using to reach a service that was giving phone numbers. She was happy when they gave her the phone number of a Vernon Dursley. She thanked them and hung up. She then deeply breathed and dialled the number.

"Dursley speaking." answered the much loathed voice.

"Listen Vernon, this is Lily, I won't ask you much, I've perfectly understood Petunia's message. I just wanna know where my parents' grave is." Quickly said Lily afraid he might hang up on her.

"I told you not to contact us ever again freak!" she heard him. Then she heard the voice of her sister and even if she could not understand what she was saying, it seemed to her that she was trying to take the phone to speak to her and that Vernon was trying to reason her not to. Finally he hung up on her and Lily looked up at James at a lack of words.

"How can he be so mean to me?" she asked with a little voice.

"I don't know Lily, but we'll find a way to find you're parents' grave, I promise!" he said.

James's mother was exiting the kitchen followed by a wonderful smell. She looked at them and told them: "I've heard everything from the kitchen. I'm very sorry about the whole situation Lily."

"I don't understand Mrs Potter. To them, I'm the reason why they died. I know they're kind of right, but it's so unfair that they don't want to give me this information." She told Mrs. Potter. To her surprise, Mrs. Potter hugged her as her son had just done a couple of minutes before. That was all it was needed to let go of all of her resolutions about not to cry again. James was just looking at the two of them hugging. He was touched by the side of the two women. It was as if this was sealing Lily's future with the Potter family and he was very happy about it.


Later at dinner, James's father was asking what the boys and Lily were planning to do during their summer. Sirius mysteriously talked about some personal project he had and James said he was planning to apply for an Auror job at the Ministry. Lily answered she would be looking for a job in the muggle or wizard community since she had not to support her expense all by herself. James and Sirius felt like idiots at her answer. They were feeling as teenagers as Lily seemed more grown-up than ever. Mr. Potter then offered to help Lily to find a job and she grateful accepted. After dinner the boys and Lily went to the living room and were able to watch a movie as the Potter were equipped with a television set.
