Chapter fourteen.
Lily glanced nervously at the Potter's as she got off the train, she saw James walk over to her own family, and hug her parents. She thought that she must do the same, so she walked over to them and smiled anxiously.
"Jamesie!" Helen Potter cried, pulling her into a hug,
"Hi mum." Lily said awkwardly, and then she turned to James' dad, who held out a hand and smiled, Lily shook it,
"Hey Dad."
"Hey Son, been getting up to a lot of mischief I hope?"
"You bet." Lily said,
"Harold!" Helen scolded, "Don't encourage him, he gets enough detentions as it is without your help!"
Helen put her arm around Lily and walked off, "The car is this way, you know your father, he likes to drive."
"It's so exhilarating!"
"Yes Harold." Helen sighed,
"So James, you up for a game of quidditch later?"
'No.' Lily thought, "Sure Dad." She said,
"Excellent! Prepare to have your butt whipped!"
"Not likely Dad." Lily said,
"Yeah, I know, you're more likely to beat me, but I'll still try!"
"Good on ya Dad."
Harold Potter looked towards her, and gave her a weird look.
"Er, I'll put my trunk in the boot of this thing." Lily said, pulling James' trunk towards the back of the brown station wagon, she opened the boot with ease, forgetting that James wouldn't know how to open it. she noticed the looks his parents were sending her way,
"Oh, I learnt about these in muggle studies."
"My god, that subject is the most boring one I have ever studied. I gave it up as soon as I was allowed to." Harold said,
"I always thought it was interesting, learning about all of the muggle 'appliances,'" Helen said, emphasizing the word 'appliances' as if it was something exciting,
"The only muggle things I like are cars." Harold stated,
"All right, let's go home now." Lily said,
"Sorry, we must be boring you James." Harold laughed.
"So Lily, how has school been so far?" Rose Evans asked, turning to face her daughter in the back of their car,
"It's been good. I got an E for my essay on the ogres of Canterbury." James said, reciting the speech Lily had taught him after she told him that her mother wouldask that question, as she always had every time Lily came home for the holidays,
"An E? Ogres of Canterbury?"
"E's are the equivalent of an A plus. Anyway, the ogres of Canterbury are a bunch of big ogres that tried to kill off the entire royal family. They were unsuccessful and the entire royal family's memories were magically erased, now all they remember was the lives they had before the disaster." James said, in true Lily fashion.
"Geez, it's quiet without James and Lily here." Kat said,
"Yep." Ellie added; they were sitting in the Head's common room with Remus and Peter. Kat was next to Peter and Ellie sitting rather close to Remus with her hand on his knee,
"Where's Emma and Sirius?" Kat asked,
"Oh, probably off snogging in some broom closet." Ellie said unintentionally, she didn't realize what she had said, instantly she threw her hand over her mouth,
"What did you say?" Kat asked, shocked,
"Um, I'm joking." Ellie said,
"Oh, okay." Kat sighed in relief; Emma and Sirius together would be a very chaotic relationship.
"Petunia dear, would you carry Lily's trunk to her room? She's had a long trip, no doubt she's tired." Timothy Evans asked,
"No Dad, it's alright, I'll take it up there." James said, pulling Lily's trunk into the house, it was a very neat and tidy place; James decided that Lily's bedroom must be up the stairs. So he dragged the trunk up and then found the room which he decided must be Lily's. It wasn't very Lily-ish. It was bright pink and very prissy and girly.
"Excuse me freak, what the hell are you doing in my room." Said Petunia, who was standing at the doorway with her arms folded,
"Oh, sorry. I'm so tired, did you get new curtains?" James asked, getting out of the room quickly, pulling the trunk behind him, and into the next room, which must have been Lily's.
It was a nice room, deep blue walls, covered with posters of muggle bands and singers, suddenly the thought went through James' bed, 'oh my god, I am going to be sleeping in Lily Evans bed. Oh my god!'
James freaked out; he threw himself on the comfy bed that was covered with a frangipani-covered duvet. There was a desk in the corner that had pictures and books all over it, James looked at a family portrait, where Lily was a baby and Petunia was about three years old. There was another one of Lily at about five years old, cuddling a black Labrador.
"What day are James and Lily getting back?" Kat asked, as they said the password to the fat lady,
"Next Saturday." Ellie said, climbing through the portrait hole, "After Christmas."
"Have you bought your presents yet?" Kat said, "I got mine a few… oh my god."
She stopped mid-sentence because a strange sight disrupted her. Emma and Sirius, on the couch, making out furiously.
