Pursuing Lily Evans By: me!

Chapter 3: Dinner Guests

Lily awoke the next morning glad to be home. She got up to go to the washroom looked in the mirror and groaned she forgot about the purple hair.

'Oh well' she thought to herself, 'Nothing I can really do now, I'm not aloud to use magic outside of school'

She went downstairs into the kitchen.

"Lily! What have you done to your hair?" Her mother yelled. "This better not be a trick to get you out of the dinner tonight!"

"No mother" Lily answered. "I only have 1 word 'James'"

"That James seems like a character, I would like to meet him." Richard said.

"No you wouldn't, believe me, and mom don't worry it should be gone in an hour" replied Lily.

"We will be leaving in 1 ½ hours to go shopping so hurry up and eat and then get dressed dear." Said Helen.

"Yes mom" replied Lily as she started to get her breakfast.

In the Potter house!

"Jamsie pooooo!" yelled Sirius while he hit James on the head with a pillow.

"Mhhmhmh go away Sirius" replied James.

"No you have to get up"

"I don't wanna"

"Fine … I'll get the pitcher of water then" said Sirius.

"Ok ...ok… I'm up"

"Good! Now lets go down stairs and then we can eat!"

James got up and walked down stairs with Sirius. He found a note from his parents on the table.

Good morning Boys,

Your father and I have just gone shopping; having you two in the house the fridge is almost empty. James we have a dinner party to go to tonight and Sirius can come too if he would like.

Well we should be back soon!

Don't burn down the house,

Mom and Dad

"So, you want to go to this dinner thing?" James asked Sirius.

"Yeah! Then we can play pranks on them… sooooo you want to eat the rest of this food?"

"Sure!"

Back to Lily!

Lily finished eating and went up to her room to change.' what to wear, what to wear' she thought to herself. She finally decided on tight blue jeans and a green tank top much like her black one. She didn't know why people thought she was too up tight, she had lots of good clothes she just didn't wear them at school.

When she was done she looked at her hair. Finally it was back to its normal shade of red. She brushed her hair and teeth, put on a little black mascara and eyeliner and went down stairs.

"You ready?" Helen asked.

"Yes mom." Lily replied.

"Good and your hair is back to normal too." Said Helen.

Lily's mom like shopping too much, she went to almost every store in England, or at least that's what it felt like to Lily.

Her mom finally decided on a black skirt that had a thin silver chain hanging loose at the top, and an off white shirt that had short sleeves which had small ruffles at the edge of each sleeve and the bottom of the shirt.

"Mom do I have to wear that?" asked Lily.

"Yes you do and you will"

"Fine" said Lily

Lily and her mom went to a small café to eat lunch then headed home. When Lily got home she decided to go up to her room and read her newest favorite series of books 'confessions of a shopaholic' (A.N. I know it's not out yet but whatever)

Lily finished her book at around 4:06 pm and went down stairs.

"Oh there you are Lily dear would you mind helping out with dinner?" asked Helen.

"Sure" answered Lily.

For dinner they were having lasagna, Garlic bread and ceaser salad (Lily's favorite)

"Mom where's Petunia?" asked Lily.

"She is staying over at the Dursley's for a couple of weeks"

"Dursley?" questioned Lily

"Her new boyfriend." Answered her mother

"Oh" said Lily.

When the lasagna and every thing else was finished being made Lily and her mom went upstairs to change.

Guess! You're right back to James!

James Sirius, were home!" came the voices of Christina and Charles from the front hallway.

Suddenly Sirius came out of no where and said" Hello Mrs. P let me take these for you!" and he ran off to the kitchen with the groceries.

Mr. and Mrs. Potter sighed.

"Hey mom, dad" said James.

"Hello, so is Sirius going to go to dinner with us?" asked Christina

"Yeah"

"Ok well we will be leaving in about an hour so go get changes and try to get Sirius out of the food"

"Sure thing mom" answered James and went to go get Sirius.

Sirius and James changed. James wore white kakis and a black shirt and Sirius wore navy blue jeans and a white button down shirt.

After they were dressed they went and searched the room for all the Zonko's products they could find.

"Guys were leaving we'll meet you over there!" yelled Charles. "Remember they're at house number 15."

"Ok" James yelled back.

When they got what they needed they went downstairs put on their shoes, locked the door and left.

Evans' House (Lily)

'Ding ... dong…"

"Lily, darling will you get that?' called her mother who was coming downstairs putting on her earrings.

"Sure mom." Lily replied.

She opened the door to find two middle aged people about the same age as her parents. There was a woman who had glasses and behind them hazel eyes, she was petite and had brown hair. The man had blue eyes, he was fairly tall, and had the most unruly black hair you can imagine, he sported a boyish grin.

'These people look kind of familiar' thought Lily.

"Hello, you must be Lily." Said the man. "My names Charles and this is my wife Christina."

"Hi" replied Lily. "My parents are in the living room"

"Ok, well my son should be here any minute with one of his friends, hope you don't mind the extra company." Said Christina.

"That's alright." Answered Lily.

Christina and Charles went into the living room and greeted her parents. Sure enough a couple minutes later the door bell rang again.

Lily opened it to find two boys with black hair with their backs turned to her.

"Hello" said Lily.

The two boys turn around. The one on the left smiled and said "Hello Lily!"

"POTTER! What are you doing here?" she asked

"I'm here for dinner of course, and I believe you met my friend Sirius Black." Said James.

"YOU'RE MY NEW NEIGHBOR!"

"It seems so! Now we can spend all summer together too!" James replied.

"Oh no oh no oh no oh no … MOM!"

"Yes dear?"

"The rest of the guests are here!" said Lily. "And I'm going to be upstairs for the rest of the night!"

"Oh no you're not!" yelled her Dad. "Show the guests to the living room."

"Fine" Lily sighed and turned back to James and Sirius. "Take off your shoes and follow me."

When Lily entered the room she sat down on the chair furthest away from where James and Sirius were.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Evans!" said James "Pleasure to meet you" And he extended his hand to shake each of the Evans'.

"Pleasure is all mine." Replied Lily's Mom. "And call me Helen, this is my husband Richard."

"So, it seems as you already met Lily?" asked Charles to James.

"Yup, she goes to my school"

"Well that's just wonderful Lily, you know him already" Helen said.

"Yeah, wonderful" said Lily. "You know him too mom, remember the person who dyed my hair purple last night and the person who made me almost miss the train?"

"Yes…" said Richard.

"Well, here he is" said Lily.

"Oh …that's right Lily Evans, James isn't that the one you're always talking about?" asked Charles

James Blushed and turned away.

"That's the one! "Said Sirius. "Remember when he said that he was doing all these pranks on a girl at school and you asked why and then our Jamsie said it was to get her to like…"

Sirius didn't get to finish the sentence because James covered his mouth.

"Oh I remember that" said Christina "… It was so cute"

"Well that's nice you know each other so well" said Helen. "If you all would like to come into the dinning room dinner is ready."

Everyone followed Mrs. Evans, James and Sirius were at the back with James threatening to kill him if he says any thing else.
