A/N Okay, for all the people that have been reviewing, thanks so much.As for the mystery of Tristan, you all have to wait a few more chapters. I know that I'm probably not going to finish this story for at least another five of six chapters.

LUVSRW- Sorry, I didn't realize that i made an reference to Bellatrix and Tristan being cousins, just to clear things up, they're not. But yeah, Sirius and Bella are cousins.

Meliodicmoonstar89- yeah I know everything has been really random in my chapters. I don't think that this chapter is that random, at least I hope not. Sorry if my randomness is annoying.

WhiteCamellia- thanks so much for the sympathies and nice review


 Lily could feel the train pulling into the station. She bit her lip. She was nervous. She didn't know what she had been thinking when she agreed to stay with Potter. She actually felt remotely sick. She gripped the edge of the armrest. Alia noticed her white knuckled grip.

"Are you all right, Lils?" Lily nodded. James caught her look of panic. He instantly started to panic.

Oh Merlin. She hates me. She wishes she never agreed. Oh no she must think that my family will hate her because we're pure bloods. Oh no. She looks as if she's going to be sick.

"James? James! JAMES!" He seemed to snap out of his panicked reverie.

"Right, sorry, what was it you wanted Lily?" Sirius and Remus burst out laughing.

"Well we're here. Shouldn't we get off the train?" He nodded.

"Oh right, I knew that. My parents should be here and waiting. Don't look like that Lily, I'm sure they'll love you." She laughed.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I feel absolutely fine. In fact I feel fabulous." James shrugged.

What was I thinking? I don't feel fabulous. I feel terrified. I feel stupid.

You also forgot tiny, pathetic, insane, frightened, and ready to be sick.

Go away!

Not so easy, love. I can't just 'go away' I have to be summoned somewhere else.

I'm not even going to ask what you're talking about.

What a wise idea. Now let's work on this together. You're standing. Now you're right foot and then left foot. Right foot and then left foot.

Oh bugger off!

Did you actually use remotely bad language? I'm shocked.

If I was Sirius I would have said a lot of other things by now.

If you were Sirius, we'd have a large problem, love.

Creepy, don't call me love! EVER!

Oh come on love, you know you absolutely love it.

If you weren't a voice in my head, I'd… I'd. I'd hex you into oblivion.

But since I am just a voice in your head, you'll have to manage. I do suggest that you smile a bit though. You're going to meet his parents in about. Oh right now.

What!

"What?" She looked at James and tilted her head slightly. James tried not to smile at how adorable she was.

"I was just saying that those are my parents. The ones that-"

"MRS.POTTER! MR.POTTER!" They started to laugh as the people that were unmistakably Potters, were knocked over by Sirius.

They were an attractive couple. Mrs. Potter was small with long dark hair and pretty brown eyes. Mr. Potter was about James height and had the same messy black hair and the same hazel eyes. The couple was currently laughing at Sirius as he was acting out an event.

"Hi mum, hi dad." His mother smiled at him and hugged him while he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He shrugged his shoulders at his father and the pair started to laugh. Lily smiled. James motioned to her.

"This is the Head Girl, Lily Evans, she's staying with us for the holiday." Mr. Potter smiled warmly at her and Mrs. Potter grinned and to Lily's surprise, hugged her quickly.

"Finally another girl to help me deal with this lot. Call me Clair." Lily smiled and nodded.

"I've heard a lot about you, Lily. We're thrilled to have you. Call me Marc." Lily nodded and smiled. She started laughing and James' mother didn't waste any time before launching into conversation with Lily about the boys. James rolled his eyes and Sirius and his father started to laugh.

Lily stared in shock at the monument that was the Potter mansion. It was quite huge and beautiful. There was a small pond/lake and a small courtyard. The gates were large and wrought iron. She stared.

"You never told me that you lived in a mansion." James shrugged and Sirius laughed.

"Yeah, when I came here in first year I was convinced that it was heaven." Lily nodded and smiled at James. She joked and hit him lightly.

"Ow, what was that for?"

"Stop fidgeting with your hair," Clair Potter started to laugh.

"I tell him that every five seconds but his father hasn't stopped in the nineteen years that I've known him. She shrugged and Marc Potter smiled at kissed the top of her head.

"Good genes love, good genes." She smiled at him.

"Come on Lily, I'll show you around." James grabbed her arm and pulled her around the mansion.

"And last, but not least, your room." Lily stared in awe. The room was painted a jeweled green color and there was a wrought iron bed as well as various paintings and a small bookshelf in the corner. She ran her fingers along the old dresser and touched the leather couch. She smiled and stared at the old stone fireplace. The room was huge and absolutely gorgeous.

"It's lovely. I couldn't stay in here. It's too nice." James shook his head.

"Trust me, this is no problem, we've got at least two more extra bedrooms." She widened her eyes and smiled. She loved the mansion. She had been especially thrilled when he showed her the library. There were books from the floor to the ceiling.

"So… um… I'll just leave you to get all settled." She nodded and grinned at him. The moment he left she started unpacking. She flopped down on the bed. It had a gold-colored bedspread. She smiled and closed her eyes. All that panicking had sure taken a lot out of her. She smiled and her last thoughts before falling asleep was that this was a place she wouldn't mind living.

"So James, tell me some more about you and Lily." James was trying his best to dodge his parent's questions. They had heard about his obsession and pursuit of Lily and he'd filled them in on her living situation but he was trying to have to tell them more.

"There's nothing between us. We're the heads, together. She's very organized." He actually thought that he could get away with just saying that.

"Of course there is the bit that James is absolutely in love with her and she still doesn't exactly adore him. The two of them are comical." Sirius laughed. James glared at him.

"We get on fine… Now." His mother laughed.

"She seems like a great girl, you picked well." He gazed at the floor, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Oh look, it's time for dinner, I better go get Lily." Sirius stood up and as soon as they were out of the earshot of the parents James hit him.

"Stupid prat." Sirius shrugged.

"Go get her, lover boy." James glared and climbed up the stairs. He knocked on the door. There was no answer. He slowly opened the door and peered in. He saw a lump on the bed. He walked towards it. She was sound asleep. Her dark red hair was spread out like a halo and her eyelashes fluttered against her cheek. She looked so beautiful when she was asleep. He fought the urge to wrap his arms around her.

Oh Merlin, she's going to be with my family for about two weeks. I'm going to have to live with the fact that she will do things that make her absolutely beautiful. She's like a little angel.

He smiled as she gave a little sigh. She murmured something softly. He felt bad waking her up. He stood and watched her for another minute and leaned towards her. He knelt beside the bed and brushed his fingers against her cheek very gently.

"Lily, love, you have to wake up. It's time for supper." He smiled as she grumbled something along the lines of, 'I don't want more eggs." He laughed.

"I don't know about eggs, Lily, but you will miss dinner." She groaned and stirred. She opened her large green eyes and stared into his. He pulled away a bit, tensed just in case she went to hit him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can't believe I fell asleep." He shrugged. She smothered a yawn.

"It doesn't matter, I probably would've taken a nap if Sirius wasn't here to keep me busy." She smiled at him. She sat up and stretched.

"I'll be right down, I think I need to brush my hair. It wouldn't hurt if you did the same." Lily teased. James ran his hands through his hair. He shrugged and spoke without thinking.

"Shouldn't change it. You look like an angel. I mean your hair looks fine. No one would care." She smiled at him.

"Well not all of us are thrilled at the prospect of having messed up hair. He shrugged his shoulders and turned to stand by the door. She glanced in the mirror and smoothed her hair a little, ultimately leaving it the way it was. He smiled as she walked towards him.

Dinner was remarkably painless. Lily had expected to be asked a lot more questions. She had also expected James and Sirius to act like prats. James was perfectly sweet and even embarrassed. She started to laugh when Clair Potter told about James first time on a broom.

"Yes, our boy can fly. He's been a natural since he was a boy, well actually not always. There was one time when he first got on the broom that he crashed into a tree and he got caught on a branch and his pants ripped." Lily and Sirius and Marc Potter started to laugh hysterically, while James stared at the floor, his face turned a little red.

"So, Sirius what happened when Lily and I got to the compartment after patrolling. We bumped into Hollis on the way." Sirius glared. Clair was intrigued.

"Who's this Hollis? Is this the girl Sirius has been fighting with since first year?" James nodded and she started to laugh. Marc Potter shrugged.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you fancied the girl, but I do know you, Sirius." Lily shrugged.

"Well Tristan is stubborn and she's a fighter, she's hardly going to deal with Sirius." They all laughed. Clair Potter's face changed slightly.

"Is this Tristan Hollis? As in Hollis-" Mr. Potter cut her off.

"Of course dear, but it doesn't seem like Sirius wants to talk about her." They nodded and quickly switched the subject. The rest of the dinner was relaxed. After dinner James and Sirius were busy in conversation. Lily laughed.

"I think I might go to the library if that's all right, Mrs. Po- I mean Clair?" Clair smiled.

"Of course. I can't blame you. I wouldn't want to be stuck listening to these two talk. As I've said before, it really is lovely to have you here." She smiled and Lily left, slowly looking for the library. She smiled when she got there and ran her fingers through the volumes of books. She selected one. She glanced at the spine. Pride and Prejudice, she smiled. She hadn't read the novel in ages. She curled up in a leather armchair and started to read.

It was a few hours after supper that James walked into the library, searching for Lily. He stopped. This had been the second time today that he'd found her asleep. She was curled in a chair and a book was open in her lap. He walked towards her and touched her arm. She didn't' move. She seemed to be in a deep sleep. He sighed. He grabbed a bookmark and marked her place. He gently scooped her into his arms and carried her to her room.

Clair Potter saw her son carrying the sleeping form of Lily Evans. He held her tenderly and was making sure he had supported her head. She almost could feel her eyes tearing.

James gently placed Lily under the covers and put her book on her nightstand. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

"Night, love."

A/N okay, this chapter was still a bit of a bridge chapter, but it's more Lily and James fluff. I know that this chapter wasn't too great, but please stick with my story and REVIEW! I'm so pathetic that I am going to say, pretty please, review and give suggestions!
