Summary- Lily Evans is supposed to be enjoying her early 20s. She just got promoted to one of the top Aurors in the Ministry. After one night of partying, she ends up in the bed of none other than James Potter. And now she's married to him! Could life get any more hectic?
Chp.1 "Oh My God!"
Lily opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling. She was as sore as...well, hell. And since when did she have a blue ceiling? It was as if a cold wind blew right up into her face and she was feelings its effects. And since when did the cold wind move? Lily almost jumped out of the bed when she saw a body lying next to her. Oh god. What had she done! She tried to get up off the bed without waking up her "significant" other and gather all of her clothes. She stealthly moved around the room and began to put on her clothes. She had slept with a man who...well, she didn't even know who he was! She had finally gotten on her t-shirt and jeans and reached for the doorknob. Perhaps she could get away and the guy wouldn't remember anything that had happened last night. Yes, everything would be fine.
"Well, well, well, Lily Evans. Fancy seeing you in my room." Lily froze. She knew that voice. And she almost threw up on the spot when her brain registered that it had been him who had slept with her. "Well, come on Lilykins, aren't you going to talk to me?"
Lily spun around and stared at the brown-eyed, black hair boy. "James Potter," she said curtly, with a nod.
"Oh, enough with the formalities, hell, I've already seen you naked, I'm sure."
Lily shuddered. "Yeah, unfortunately. Do you think we can just forget that this happened?"
James shook his head. "I doubt that. I can still hear your...what should I could it...cries of passion from last night ringing in my ears."
"Well Potter," she said turning around for the door again, "I don't remember any of that."
"Don't you?" He said whispering in her ear. How had he gotten so close to her? One minute he was on his bed half naked and the next, he had somehow ended up enveloping her.
"No..." Lily said, but it was a lie. How could she not remember? She could smell his cologne and felt him all around her. It was too much. She had to get out of there. Once again, she reached for the door.
"Don't touch that doorknob."
"W-Why the h-hell not?" Lily said shakily.
"Have you looked at your fingers lately?"
Lily laughed. That was the strangest ques-"OH MY GOD." She had a ring.
"Yes, those would be my words exactly, if I were a girl, of course."
Lily wacked his shoulder. "Shut up. Don't you care that we're...mar-mar-"
"Married?"
"Yes!"
James shook his head. "Nah, I don't really mind it. I'd rather get married to you than some bimbo blonde."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Thanks, Potter. I'm glad I'll be more important to you than a bimbo blonde for the next couple of weeks."
James, for perhaps for the first time in his life, looked perplexed. "What do you mean for the next couple of weeks?"
"Well, we're obviously going to get a divorce aren't we?"
"Well, Lilykins, what if I don't want to get a divorce from you? What if I like you as my dah-ling wife?"
"Well...Jamesie, then I will make sure your life is hell from now on, starting with your inability to have children."
"Hey! Those are delicate goods, woman!" James said with mock hurt.
Lily laughed. "Please, there aren't any delicate goods located in you."
"Oh, well perhaps some people may think that about me, but you...Lilykins, I know you love my delicate goods."
"You're starking mad."
"Mad, huh?" James asked with a goofy grin on his face.
"Now what?"
"Nothing, I was just thinking."
Lily faked a gasp. "You, Potter, you think! Why that's insane!"
"Oh ha-ha-ha Lily Evans. For your information I do think. Now stop getting me off topic. What I trying to say earlier was that some people may not think I have delicate goods, but I know you do. I mean, you kept screaming for me to give you more, more, more! If I may quote you, from last night."
"I think God is trying to give me a sign. I think he hates me."
"Oh, Lilykins I don't think he hates you. I'm sure he loves you. He did give you the best didn't he?"
Lily rolled her eyes. "I'm leaving Potter."
James followed in suit, rolling his eyes. "Well, I'm leaving too, Evans."
Lily was hit with a ton of bricks. It was Monday morning. She had gone out to party last night because she had been promoted at the Ministry. It was supposed to be a good, fun Girls' Night Out with Sophie, but instead of going out to their usual bar, Sophie had insisted on going to Fever. And what good came out of that? Lily ended up having sex with James Potter and married to him. What a lovely night. To top it all off, she was probably running late for work and her new partner would probably be furious at her.
"Potter, do you know what trouble you could get me into?"
"What are you talking about Lily?"
"I'm supposed to be meeting my new partner today at the Ministry at 9. And what time is it? 8:54. You know what a stickler I am for being on time. I haven't even dressed properly yet!"
"Oh stop being such a worry wart Lily."
"Who uses that language nowadays?"
"I do."
"Like I said, who uses that language nowdays?"
"Ouch, Lilykins. That hurt."
"Good, I'm glad it did."
"You know, if I weren't hung over right now, I'd think that you don't like being married to me," James said with a sniff.
"Wow, Potter, you are very clever."
"Yep, that's why I was Top Student at Hogwarts."
"Hey, for your information we were tied."
"But I was the more popular than you, so no one cared."
"What?"
"That's right. You heard me," James said tauntingly.
"I cannot be having this conversation with you right now. I need to get dressed."
"You won't make it in time. Just borrow some of my clothes."
"Are you crazy? I can't wear Muggle clothes to work. Especially oversized stuff."
"Lilykins, didn't you learn anything at Hogwarts? You do know how to transfigure clothing, correct?" James said slyly. He knew that Lily had never been good at Transfiguration. And Lily knew that James knew that she had never been good at it.
"Shut up."
"Aww…does my Lilykins need help?"
"I'm not property," she said coldly.
James nodded. "Okay, sorry about that. Still, just take some of my robes and transfigure them into female robes. It'll take about three seconds. Plus, you won't be late to your meeting with your new partner."
Lily nodded and thanked James as he showed her where he kept his dress robes. She wondered who her new partner was going to be, especially since they must have been very good at the Dark Arts and very experienced. James was very high up in the Ministry…where Lily would be working…but, no. He couldn't be. No way.
"Hey, Potter," she said transfiguring some of his robes into female robes, "Do you have any idea who my new partner is going to be?"
James coughed. "Er…no? Why do you want to know?"
Lily eyed him. "Are you sure you don't know?"
"Yes," he said in a hoarse voice.
She decided to let the topic drop. "Fine." She stopped and put on the new robes that she had just fixed. "Look, I don't care. Right now all I want to do is get to work and meet my new partner. We'll fix this marriage crap later. Are you coming?"
James realized that he had to go to work too. He was, in fact, supposed to be meeting his new partner this morning. The Ministry had a tendency to love to change partners around very often. When Lily had asked him whether or not he knew her new partner…well, he didn't want to say anything. He hastily gathered his robes and put them on in the bathroom.
"I'm coming Lilykins, hold on."
The two Apparated to the Ministry just after 9'o clock. Moody happy with histop Aurors arriving late.
"Potter, Evans, why are you two late? You know I don't tolerate that."
"Sorry Moody," Lily said apologetically.
"Our condolences, sir," James said in a goofy accent. Lily just rolled her eyes at the stupid pra- well, her stupid husband.
"Cut the crap and next time try to arrive on time," Moody said, taking out a piece of parchment. "Okay, let's get this stupid thing over with. I don't understand why Wendelin insists on us changing partners so often. But he's the goddamn Minister, isn't he?" Nobody said anything. "It was a joke, people."
"Oh…hahaha, good one Mister," said Emmeline Vance, a trainee. Moody gave her a look with his eye. She shuddered and moved away. Lily looked after her, worrying about the poor girl; James could be heard snickering. It was at this moment when Lily wacked James on the head.
"Ow!"
"Anyway, here's the list of partners. When you see your name, well, people, you get the idea." Moody took out his wand and flicked the paper onto the wall across the room. Lily had been standing with James and Moody. There was a commotion as everyone tried to find their partners and get a look at the sheet. Lily decided to wait her turn, while James tried towrestle his way through the crowd.
"Hi partner!"
Lily turned around and screamed.
"Not you!"
So, who is Lily's partner?Don't kill me if it stunk. I'll try to update as often, but I'm just trying to get this story out because I'm an avid L/J lover.
LilyLavenderSoapSmellsGood. It's always so weird when your name is practically famous in the Harry Potter world. Still, I love it. D
