Chapter eight.
"You mean I missed her first step?" James asked angrily,
"Yeah." Lily said,
"This is so unfair, how come you got to see it?" he grumbled,
"Because I was with her when it happened, and besides, I didn't hear her first word!"
"Oh please, Seewoos is not a word!"
"It is too!" Sirius said, appearing in the doorway, their front door seemed to be permanently open,
"Sirius not now, go away." James said,
"Whatever." He said, walking away muttering to himself,
"Chiuro." Lily said, pointing her wand at the door, making it slam shut, "I love having my wand back."
She noticed that James was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands, looking very annoyed.
"James, it's not that big a deal."
"It is to me, Lily."
"Well, I'm sorry. How can I make it up to you?"
"Go out with me."
"James." She warned, "Think of something else."
"Fine." He grumbled, "Kiss me."
"I kissed you this morning!"
"Yes and then you messed around with my head and made me go nuts, now kiss me and then tell me what is going on," He said, leaning in and kissing her deeply on the lips, Lily loved kissing James, but she
really didn't want to go out with him, but she really wasn't sure what she wanted at the moment.
"So?" James asked, when they had broken apart,
"I don't need a relationship at the moment James." She told him, before getting up and leaving the cottage.
"Oh my god!" he shouted angrily, slamming his fist against the wall. He picked up Elle and walked out the door.
Ten minutes later, James sat in the grounds, helping Elle to walk.
"Come on Elle, you can do it!" he coached as Elle attempted to waddle towards him, "Walk over to Daddy Elle!"
"Oh, she is so cute." A voice said, James looked up to see a girl standing in front of him. She kneeled down beside him,
"I'm Sarah." She said, she had dark brown hair and blue eyes; she was a Ravenclaw sixth year, so she wouldn't have been involved in the Playing House project,
"I'm James, and this is Elle, my daughter." James said,
"Oh yeah, you have to do that project thing in seventh year." Sarah said,
"You're lucky you have such a cute baby, I saw one, it had a fat face with a very big nose." She laughed, James immediately knew that this weird baby was the child of Peter and Snape,
"Oh my god, what's that smell?" Sarah asked,
"That would be my daughter's nappy." He said, "I have to go and change this, you wanna walk with me?"
"Um, yeah ok." She said,
They walked back to the cottage, talking about everything; including the problem with Lily. Sarah suggested he shouldn't act so desperate to be with her, she said he ought to stop trying to impress her, or maybe he should just listen to her.
When they reached the cottage, James quickly changed Elle's nappy and then set her down in her crib to go to sleep. He opened two bottles of butterbeer, one for him and one for Sarah,
"Thanks." She said, as he handed it to her,
"So you reckon, that if I don't try to impress her, be myself, not be desperate and listen, she'll want to be with me?"
"James it's not that easy."
"Why not?"
"Because it just isn't. She's not going to fall for you in five seconds, it takes time.You have to let her know that you actually care and you actually like her, because at the moment, it doesn't seem that way."
"Oh, I can do that, thanks so much Sarah."
"It's okay, but I have to go, I'm going to Hogsmeade with my boyfriend, I'll talk to you later James." Sarah said, "Thanks for the butterbeer."
Sarah got up from her seat and walked over to the door, just as she was about to open it, it was opened by Lily, who stumbled in laughing,
"Oh, hello. Who are you?" Lily said,
"Hey Lily, I'm Sarah Littlewood, sixth year, Ravenclaw." Sarah said brightly,
"How do you know who I am?"
"You're Head Girl."
"I am?" Lily asked, "Cool!"
"Uh, yeah. I gotta go, bye Lily, seeya James." Sarah said, closing the door behind her as she left.
"Lily, are you drunk?" James asked, walking over to her, to help her stay upright,
"No! Okay, just a little." She said, "You see, I was kind of upset. So I went to Hogsmeade for a drink."
"Or five. You went by yourself?"
"Yah!" Lily said, clawing at his shirt and pulling him closer, "I might wanna spew on you later."
"Lils, you're breath stinks."
"What about your breath?"
"No Lils, that's still yours."
"Oh." Lily said, "I'm sleepy! Where is the bubby?"
"She's sleeping."
"Cool! Let's wake her!" Lily said, running away from James and towards the bedroom, unfortunately she
didn't make it as she had tripped over her own feet in her drunken state, James helped her up and placed her on her bed.
"Lils? You awake?" he asked, he was answered by a long and loud snore.
