Lilly POV

Lily decided to wake up extra early the next morning for no in particular reason she told herself not bothering to go into Hugo's room to see if he wanted to come it always ended up with him throwing a pillow at he and him shouting to get out of his room although she rely listened bit she was feeling kind today so she wrote a note telling Hugo that she would be at the beach and left it taped to his door.

So now Lily sat on the beach playing with the settings on her muggle camera her parent's got her for Christmas two years ago.

She knew the reason she came to the beach this early in the morning at a time she knew Hugo would opt to stay in bed because he hated early mornings more than anyone else in the family and she really wanted to see Seth again the only problem she didn't know where he would be so she figured her best bet would be to go to the beach, she promised herself if she didn't see him by maybe ten she would but somehow she didn't think she would be leaving till she got a glimpse of that boy with the sweetest smile she had ever seen.

From eight thirty to two was how long Lily spent at la push beach five and a half hours she didn't know why she was this set no seeing a guy she didn't even know. It confused her she never acted like this, and had never been too interested in boys back at Hogwarts.

She did not spend the whole day alone Hugo finally decided to show up at twelve, Lily was grateful when she saw he brought lunch she was starving.

"You ready to leave yet" Hugo asked

"No"

"OK, do you get the feeling that there is something off about this town?"

"No why" she was confused and didn't know what Seth was worrying about and in truth she had too many thoughts swirling through her mind to try and figure out

"Um… no reason, I'm probably just over thinking things"

"yea you do that a lot" Lily sighed looking down at her feet "I think I'm ready to leave now" standing Lily wiped the sand off her shorts, when they heard rustling in the bushes behind them, Hugo pushed Lilly behind him taking a defensive stance and was reaching for his wand hidden on the inside pocket of his jacket that he charmed with an undetectable extension charm but stopped when a tall tanned figure came out that Lily recognized immediately as Seth.

"Hey Lily fancy meeting you here" Seth said with a bright smile on his face

"Well I think I might go check out the library that Aunt Andromeda told us about this morning apparently it's just down the road from here. I will see you at home Lily," Hugo said

"OK buy Hues," Lily said it seemed that sometimes Hugo knew what she wanted when she didn't even know herself

"Umm, do you want to go for a walk, with me I mean" Seth said scratching the back of his head

"Sure," Lily replied grabbing her jacket and following Seth down the beach

"Are you liking it here so far?"

"Yea it really great I'm loving the beach and this weather actually reminds me a lot of home, it isn't very sunny there either,"

"You said you're staying with your Aunt, did your parents not come,"

"they had a lot of work to do, so our parents thought it would be good for us to get away from everything that's happening at home so we could enjoy our holiday a little before school starts up again" she tried to be as honest as she could she had never been fan of lying to people no matter how necessary it was, she didn't know why but Seth didn't seem to like the answer but she didn't want to pry she only just met the boy and didn't want to scare him off.

"What year are you, I'm starting my senior year,"

"My schooling is a bit different to how it is over here, I attend a boarding school in Scotland you see, and it goes for seven years from age eleven which is first year to seventh year which I will be starting this fall"

"Wow you must be really smart, the school sounds really intense if you get to graduate a year younger than most"

"Actually how smart you are has nothing to do with it otherwise my older brother would never have gotten in, my entire family have gone there for generations you see and me, my siblings and cousins our names were put down for that school from birth," Lily didn't like how uptight her school sounded when you left out all the details about the wizarding world and decided to change the subject.

"Do you have any siblings Seth?"

"Yea a sister her names Leah, she's at Seattle university studying Psychology but she comes home some weekends if her workload is light and I have step sister Bella her dad married my mum a couple of years ago and my friends well I think of them more as brothers than anything else,"

"What about your father," Lily had heard of the word divorce before in muggle studies, but she still didn't know too much about it wizard couples rarely separated, their marriages were for life which didn't seem to be the case for muggle couples

"He passed away a while ago," Seth said looking away from her towards the ocean

"Oh Merlin Seth I'm so sorry," she felt horrible for bringing it up and he seemed to realize how bad she felt because he immediately tried to make her feel better when she was sure it was meant to be the other way around

"It's OK you didn't know and it was a long time ago" he insisted "what about you tell me about your family,"

"I have three older brother Teddy, James and Albus, but Teddy isn't related by blood his parents died and my daddy helped raise him, so he is just as much a brother to me as James and Al and after he finished school he married my cousin Victoria and they made me godmother of their kids Dora and John,"

"You grew up with three older brothers that must have been hectic," Lily smiled at Seth's comment

"My brothers are only a third of the kids in the family I have nine other cousins and we are all within ten years of each other,"

"Really," he said surprised at the family size.

"Yip from Teddy who is the oldest at twenty-seven down to me, I'll be seventeen next month, "she said.

Seth was just about to comment when she hear a loud noise come from the forest she jumped slightly it sounded like a wolf and a big one at that and when she looked back at Seth he was staring off into the trees with a scowl on his face he didn't look pleased.

"Do you think I could have your number it would make it easier to find you if we could plan meeting up in advance,"

"Umm actually I don't have a phone," Lily said hesitantly

"Really," she could see Seth was surprised "What person doesn't have a cell phone in this day of age,"

"Well me for one, and my entire family, my parents aren't a fan of technology" Lily felt bad for lying to him her father actually quite liked muggle technology and we did have a few bits and pieces around the house but magic tended to destroy most of the muggle technology and she couldn't tell Seth that.

"Oh, OK them," Seth said unsure how to respond.

"but my Aunt has a landline you could call that," she suggested her and Hugo learned that their Aunt didn't often uses magic and seemed to have settled well into the Muggle way of life so things like the TV and phone actually worked in her house.

"Cool. I will give you my number so you can call whenever you want,"

"Do you want to meet up here tomorrow?"

"Yes sounds great but can we meet later, I have a family lunch thing I got to go to,"

'Off course so I will see you at two,"

"Cool I'll see you tomorrow, I really have to go now," Seth said in his haste he gave Lily a kiss on the cheek without thinking and ran off into the forest while Lily was left standing on the beach in surprise.
