James glanced around his room quickly before shutting his eyes from the pain the light caused. He groaned as he noticed his jeans were not there. He never slept in just his boxers whilst he was away from home.

He sighed as he rolled out of bed onto the floor and crawling to his trunk to get a new pair of jeans. He smiled in success as he found a pair almost identical to those of the previous day.

He reached for his red t-shirt he had worn yesterday before holding it to his face and smelling the strong scent of firewhiskey. He frowned as he realized he was hung over. He seriously hoped he hadn't done anything wrong during his memory lapse. He pulled on a black shirt instead as he ruffled his hair and jogged down three stair cases and long hallways before stepping outside onto the courtyard to get some fresh air.

He clutched his head as the light invaded his vision as he stumbled around the pool and lay down on a lounger by the pool.

"Why hello, hangover I see," A quiet humored voice stated.

James got a fright from this and fell backwards off his lounger. Sitting up he looked around for the voice, a look of un-amusement across his face as he heard the voice laugh.

"Over here," James followed the voice to the pools edge where he saw a figure pulling herself out of the pool and covering her petite body up with a white towel.

James smirked, "Like your swimwear."

"Thanks it's new." She stated obviously ignoring his flirting.

He grinned by the tone of her voice. Squinting he tried to see her.

"Lily Evans." The girl introduced herself yet again.

"Can you come into the shade where I can see you?" James asked.

"Sure, that bad aye?" She asked referring to the hangover

"I guess." He replied as she wandered over by him in the shade.

He looked up shock across his face. She was nothing like Petunia, a bit on the skinny side but she was still developing, she looked no older than 19 years of age so she still had a little bit of time to grow. Her eyes however were the most brilliant shade of Emerald green. After a few seconds he got his voice back.

"Your Petunia's sister!" James asked in shock.

"Yes… we met last night," She replied.

James was deep in thought as he tried to remember… "Ah the one with the pretty voice! Thanks for helping me out last night. You are as beautiful in person as you are in voice. I must say you are not what I was expecting."

"How so?" She asked amused. She knew what he was referring to but she may as well have fun teasing him along the way.

"Uh well," James started.

"Well what?" Lily held back her laughter at his worried face.

"Take this as a compliment but… you and your sister are very different in both physical aspects and in the way you socialize with others." He treaded carefully.

"Ah well you seem to be very different to what I have heard about your from Petunia Mr. Potter."

"How so?" He asked cheekily.

"A few ways" She retorted circling around James her eyes roaming him. "Anyway I have to et back to the library for tutoring."

"Bye." He answered as she walked off.

'She is something.' Thought James.

James was aimlessly wandering the grounds of the Evans property.

He sat down by a tree discarding the black robe he was wearing and using it as a pillow.

He remembered his father talking about an arranged marriage to Petunia or Lily.

"When is he going to give up?" He murmured out loud.

"Give up what?" A soft voice asked.

"Whoa!" James shouted in shock. "You have got too stop that!"

"Stop what?" She asked smirking.

"Sneaking up on me!" He exclaimed.

"Now do I give you a fright?" She teased as she lay down beside him. His eyes averted down to her showing cleavage.

"Never." He replied before forcing his eyes to look at her face.

He then once again took the time to observe her. But this time without realizing it he started to compare her to Bellatrix.

She wasn't as seducing and Bella but she was two times as cute and loveable. Her lips were a natural deep shade of red and her eyes a vivid green, her small delicate face framed by long wavy auburn hair. The wind was blowing around in the small breeze making her look even more natural.

He watched her smile as she looked up at the clouds.

She was caring and compassionate. She had a sense of mischief to add to her free personality, but also one of innocence.

She looked up at him and noticed him staring before she frowned and her small nose scrunched up.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" She asked.

"No reason at all Lils." Annoying her with his short answer.

"Sure, sure!" She retorted as she rubbed at her face and fixed her hair.

James laughed.

"Hmph!" Lily murmured at his laughter.

She laughed as well as they talked.

"So what apprenticeship are you studying?" James asked.

"Oh no, I go to Hogwarts still. I transferred there last year, no-one seems to recognize who I am there." Lily explained.

"Oh? So you must be 17? Whoa that is a lot younger than I presumed." James looked at her strangely.

"How old are you?" Lily asked bluntly.

"Twenty-one" James replied.

"Woah." She stated. "I thought you just looked old for you age."

"Did you ah well, what's age when you having fun?" He replied smirking.

She smiled back a nervous smile "Right."

"Have you got a problem with the age?" He asked frowning.

"Not really, but I would have thought you would have enjoyed speaking to someone your own age like Petunia." Lily stated.

"Me and her don't get along." James said truthfully.

"Ah yes I've heard, what exactly happened between you two?" Lily asked him.

"Now that is a very long story, I shall tell you another time. Besides haven't you got tutoring?" James asked laughing.

Lily shot a look at her watch on her slim wrist.

"Argh!" She screeched, "Dad will kill me! Why didn't you say something earlier?"

"I was enjoying you company." He smiled as he watched her run back towards the mansion.
