Chapter Three: Love At First Sight, Or Should We Say, Fight?

When James awoke on the morning of August 31, he immediately got out of bed. 'Today is the day that we go to Diagon Alley to meet this Lily Evans' he thought to himself, 'I wonder what she will be like.' Now James was very handsome for a boy of only eleven years. He had raven black hair that was so messy, it would never lie flat. Just like his father's hair. It was one of those things that made him so much more attractive. He had gorgeous hazelish-blue cat's eyes that really stood out on his face, and he had a fair complexion with a nice tan. He had a nice build, and a nice toned and muscular body from flying a broom and playing quidditch since he was four.

Lily Evans was running around her house, trying to get ready to meet the Potters, and go to Diagon Alley. Now even though Lily was only eleven, everyone new that she would be drop-dead gorgeous when she got older. She was already a beauty. She still had those dazzling emerald eyes, now accompanied by beautiful, smooth, shiny, flowing red hair that came down to her waist. It wasn't a bright red, but it wasn't really dark, either. It was a few shades lighter than auburn. Her skin was a very pale, creamy white, and it was powder soft. She had a stunning figure, and although she didn't have a lot of curves yet, she knew that she would have more in a few years.

It was time for the Potters to leave. They would be going to the Leaky Cauldron to rent three rooms, as Lily's parents were going home, because they didn't trust Petunia to be home alone at night.

"James," William Potter called up the stairs, "Are you ready? We are leaving in five minutes!"

"Just about, dad! I'll be down in a second," James replied. Just then, Christine came into the parlor, where William was sitting.

"We only have enough floo powder for James. You and I will have to apparate. We can get some more today," she said, clearly upset.

William nodded as James came running down the stairs. Christine explained the situation to him. James nodded.

"We are going to the Leaky Cauldron, darling. Your father and I are apparating now. Go on, dear," she said, and with that, there was a soft pop, and William and Christine were gone. James walked over to the fireplace, dumped the remaining floo powder into his hand, ad threw it into the fireplace. Emerald green flames shot up in the fireplace, and James stepped into it, shouted, "The Leaky Cauldron!" and he disappeared, spinning, until he fell out of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron, covered in soot. He brushed himself off, and stood up to see his parent's faces above him, smiling.

"Hello, darling," Christine said happily.

"Hello mum and dad," James replied, "Did you rent the rooms here, yet? I want to get to King's Cross Station to meet this Lily Evans."

"Yes James, we did. We rented one room for your father and I, one for you, and one for Lily. Now calm down, darling."

"What about her parents?"

"They're going home tonight. They don't trust Lily's sister to be home alone at night."

"I see," James replied, nodding, "Now lets go."

Lily was standing outside King's Cross Station with her parents, impatiently running her hands through her hair. She sighed, "I really hope that the Potters arrive soon. I really can't stand waiting!"

"James Potter, at your service!" Lily heard behind her. She turned around to face a boy slightly taller than her, with messy, raven black hair, grinning goofily at her.

Lily rolled her eyes and stuck out her hand, "Hi! I'm Lily Evans, and this is my mum, Laura, and my dad, Gary."

James reached out his hand, and grasped hers, shaking it firmly, "Hi! I'm James, but you already knew that, and these are my parents, Christine and William Potter."

Lily nodded. James noticed that their parents had drifted away, talking with each other about the differences between the Wizarding World and the Muggle World, and about Hogwarts compared to Muggle Primary and Secondary Schools. James took the opportunity to get a closer look at Lily. She was gorgeous! Even thought he was only eleven, he was a boy, and boys have hormones, and James' mind and hormones found Lily absolutely delectable, and James found himself wanting to eat Lily up. James was so immersed with Lily's beauty that he didn't even notice that his and Lily's parents had returned.

"Is there a reason that you are staring at me, James?" Lily asked curiously.

"Yes," James replied dreamily, "Your beauty is captivating."

"Wha-at!" Lily choked.

"Yes. Will you go out with me, Lily?" Wow. Did I just say that out loud?

"James!" Christine said sharply, "You will not be asking anyone out until you are older. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, mum," James replied, still looking at Lily.

"And you will stop staring at Lily!"

"Yes, mum," he complied as he diverted his gaze to the ground.

"Good."

"Now lets go to Diagon Alley!" William said brightly, trying to get rid of the tension that surrounded them.

"Yes, lets. I'm looking forward to meeting the goblins that run the bank," Gary said, looking excited.

"Oh, they are absolutely hideous," Christine said with a shudder.

"Don't be a spoilsport, darling!" William said jovially, "The goblins are amazing!"

"Stop, dad. You're embarrassing me. You sound like a kid!" James said, blushing, sneaking a glance at Lily, who was laughing, her emerald green eyes sparkling.

James glared at her, "Why are you laughing?" he demanded.

"You're – dad – is – so – funny!" she managed to get out before lapsing into giggles, with Laura and Christine joining her.

"Well, lets get going," William said in a booming voice, and they all started to walk towards the bank.
