Lily stood outside her parent's door, nervous. She hadn't told her mum that she was coming home. It was about two weeks early for the wedding but still, better to be prepared right? Neither had she Alice or anyone. Lily'd gone straight to Dumbledore, who had nodded her on and created a portkey without a word. For the first time in her life, she was nervous to see her family. Seeing them normally hadn't happened in seven years.

She knocked, Petunia opened the door, eyes wide.

'H-hey Lily?' It wasn't the Petunia she was used to. The shouting, horrible snarky Petunia. This Petunia was, well, different.

'Hi. Can I come in?' She felt like a little girl again. The younger sister.

'Sure.' Petunia stood back and let her in.

They sat down, opposite each other at the table. Petunia poured another cup of coffee for Lily, remembering to make it just how she liked it: Two sugars and milk. Silence filled the room, but neither of them minded, it was just nice to be sitting there, not down each others throats.

'Where's Mum and Dad?' Lily asked, sipping her coffee, it was nice.

'They've gone away for the weekend, to visit Helen and Rob.'

'Right.' Helen and Rob. Lily could barely remember them.

'So,' Petunia finished texting someone on her phone. 'What brings you back here?'

Lily wiped her face with her hands.

'So there's this boy.'

'Oh god. You're pregnant aren't you? Or getting married? Lily you're too young, we need to have the talk and-'

'-No no Tuney.' Lily almost laughed. 'It's nothing like that. I'm not pregnant, married or anything.'

'What is it then?' Petunia looked relieved.

'Well,' Lily struggled for where to begin. 'Ever since first year, there's been this boy.'

'Right.'

'And he's been asking me out.'

'Ooooh get you.'

Lily shoved her playfully.

'And I'd always thought of him as an egotistical prat with no man parts.'

'Your exact words?'

'Yeah.'

They sat in silence.

'So?' Petunia prompted.

'This year, I became friends with him.'

'Why?'

'Because he's not like how he was anymore. But then Marlene left.'

'Urgh, I hate that slut.' Petunia frowned.

'Yeah, me too.' Lily sighed. 'And then I accidently made the point that we probably weren't friends, it was because of Marlene and he was probably just pretending to be friends with me so he could ask me out.'

'Lily,' Petunia rolled her eyes and facepalmed. 'You can't say that.'

'Well I know that now,' she snapped. 'And that's not even the worst part.'

'OH god.' Petunia raises her eyebrows. 'What did you do?'

'Um, it wasn't me. But b-b-but,' she struggled to say it. 'He said he loves me.'

'And?' Petunia was smiling slightly. 'Then what?'

'I came here?' Lily looked confused.

'Urgh! Lily!' Petunia rolled her eyes. 'The worst part is that you didn't say anything back. It's an amazing thing. Love.'

Lily blinked in amazement, what was up with Petunia?

'Tuney what's going on?'

Her sister grinned mischeivously.

'Vernon proposed last night, I said yes!'

Whatever Lily had been suspecting, it wasn't that! She resisted the temptation to throw up. Although she despised Vernon, she was genuinly pleased for Petunia.

''Wow, Tuney! That's amazing, when's the wedding?'

'March.'

'Wait,' Lily looked cautious. 'I am invited, right?'

'Of course!' Petunia smiled suddenly. 'But I do have one condition.'

'What?' Lily rolled her eyes. Trust Petunia to make a deal out of something. Perhaps that was why she went to law school.

'You have to have this boy as your plus one to the wedding.'

'Tuney.'

'Lily.'

'Are you taking the &.%*?'

'Nope, but you're taking this boy.' She flushed slightly. 'Well that came out wrong but you get my point.'

'I do indeed,' said a voice behind her. 'And if you know what's good for you you'll listen to me.

'Lily what's going on?' Petunia looked confused. She should've been terrified at the fact that a death eater was in her house but she wasn't. LOL.

'There he is!' A woman in plum coloured robes appeared from out of nowhere.

'Obliviate!' The death eater yelled, a red jet of sparks shooting from his wand, just catching Petunia. She collapsed. Lily screamed.

'Avada Caadavra!' He yelled, the woman shoved Lily behind a cabinet and yelled a stream of curses she didn't recognise at Lily.

'Mum!' Another man materialized in front of Lily. Or should I say boy, he turned around. And it was James Potter.

'James?'

'Lily?'

'James I swear to Dumbledore if you're trying to chat up a girl again that's ten years older than you with your mother in the room I will-wait that's Lily?'

Lily found a woman with blonde hair staring her right in the face, although she was also shooting curses at a death eater behind her back. She shook her hand.

'Pleased to meet you dear and will you stop it for hecks sake!' Mrs Potter whipped around and kicked the death eater in the face. He collapsed on the floor. 'Magic really is just a display isn't it?' She rolled her eyes and picked up the death eater, slinging him over her shoulder.

'Till next time then?' She shook Lily's hand and walked towards the door. 'James?'

He couldn't look away from Lily, his eyes were fixed on hers and likewise.

'Um, I'll be out in a minute.'

Mrs Potter rolled her eyes, and walked out of the door.

'Okay, well, bye then I guess.' He looked defeated and walked over to the door. He was just about to shut it.

'Will you come to my sisters wedding with me in March?' She blurted out before she could stop.

He looked nervous again, and ruffled his hair.

'S-sure Evans. I can make time for it.' That annoying lopsided grin that Lily wanted to smack right off his face and kiss at the same time and-oh my god! Did she, Lily Evans, just say she wanted to kiss James Potter? What was the world coming to?

'Good,' she smiled shyly. 'And James?'

'Yes?' He looked at her, defeated, again.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek softly. Fireworks erupted inside her chest even though it wasn't a proper kiss.

'You're not wasting your time.'

'I do my best Evans,' he smirked, covering up the fact he was shell shocked inside. His eyes were very wide in surprise, something that escaped Lily's attention. 'Till next time.'

And with that he apparated out of the room.

'Shut up Tuney.' Lily turned around to face her sister, biting her lip, trying not to smile. 'Shut up.'

'I wasn't the one who said anything!' She smirked, putting her hands in the air.

'I didn't say anything!' Lily rolled her eyes.

'Of course, because you were too busy kissing James freaking Potter.'

'Shut up!'

'No!'

'Shut up!'

'Lily and James. Ahhhhh, I'm planning your wedding already.'

'Shut up.'

'OMG you can have a princess dress and I can be a bridesmaid and your bouquet can be all white roses and-'

'Shut up.'

'Fine.'

Petunia rolled her eyes, pursing up me mouth into an unwanted smile. She poured herself another cup of coffee before sitting back down at the table.

'Hey Tuney?'

'Yes?' Her sister turned to her, her unusually warm eyes comforting Lily.

'Can I stay here for a few days?' The pause seemed to go on forever, she dreaded to answer.

'Lily,' Petunia smiled sadly. 'You can stay here for as long as you want, provided you don't use any of your voodoo magic.'

'Trust me,' Lily sighed into her cup of coffee, watching the ripples of smooth liquid flow delicately over the surface. 'That won't be a problem.'

A/N Hi guys. It's been a while, sorry. I've been having a writers block and my new years resolution has been to begin my own novel, which is currently 5 chapters long on fiction press. It's about a Greek Demigod called Eri Bryers who is an "unworthy" daughter of Ares, so she lies and says she is a daughter of Athena. In the process she falls in love with this guy called Noah but he's like the leader and everyone looks to him to sort out problems and he has no time for luuuuurve. You probably won't want to, but if you have a bit of time, check it out :) - s/3233723/1/Starcrossed-Demigods

Also, I recieved an anonymous review on this story saying "it sucks and hogwarts is in scotland". If I make a mistake in the plot please just PM me the chapter and paragraph and I can sort it out. Is there really any need to comment horrible things. I do work very hard and try my best on my fanfics and if it isn't good enough for you either leave suggestions as to how it can improve or just don't say anything.

Bye for now! :)
