Chapter Three

We all were supposed to meet up at David's parent's house at two. When I first saw the house I couldn't help myself not to gape at the beautiful mansion that was standing in front of me. I knew David's family had money, but I didn't know he had this much money. I walked up to the door and rung the doorbell.

"Welcome to the Arterburn mansion, David is waiting for you in that room over there," she pointed to a room just down the hall.

"Thank you, should I take my stuff with me or should I leave it here?" I asked.

"Just leave it here, I will get a butler to take it up to the plane," she replied.

"Thank you very much." I walked into the room that she pointed to me a minute ago, "Hello again."

David jumped at the sudden sound of my voice, "You scared me Lily Evans. So far you and I are the only two here out of the four that are supposed to be here," he looked at his watch, "And you are exactly on time." He rolled his eyes.

"Well in their defense you only gave us two and a half hours to pack!! I mean we are going to Paris!!" I joked.

"Well then, how did you get here so fast?"

I froze, of course I used magic to help with the packing, but he couldn't know that. "I am a very fast packer," I winked. "Did it take you long to pack?"

"About forty-five minutes more or less." He noticed how wide my eyes had gotten, "But remember I'm a guy and it doesn't take me that long to pack."

"Well… I might want to go check just to make sure I do have everything. I'm feeling like I have forgotten to pack something." He ran a hand through his hair. A trait that no matter who did it would always make me think of him. "Do you want to come up to my room with me? I don't want you to be all alone."

"Sure," I bounced up of the couch I had been sitting on. I loved seeing other people's rooms; I felt like their room reflected on whom they were as a person.

"Okay then," he grabbed my hand and led me out of the room we were currently in and to these massive marble stairs. I knew I shouldn't be surprised at how massive these stairs were just by looking at the rest of the house, but I couldn't stop myself from gaping. We turned to the left once we got up to the stairs and went into the first door, "here it is." He swept his hand across his room as if to present it.

I stared in amazement; this was not the room I was thinking that I was going to find. It was of course gigantic, I guessed that one right, but I thought it wasn't going to be as bright as it was. I pictured the walls being a navy blue but boy was I wrong. Three out of the four walls were painted a very pale yellow, but the other wall there was a painted mural of the beach fully equip with an ocean and everything. In the middle of the room there was a yellow and blue striped rug on the dark hardwood floor that held… what exactly was that? It looked like a white tree house that went up to the ceiling and was held up by rafters.

David saw me looking at the thing and laughed, "That is my bed, go take a look."
I walked over to his 'bed' and started climbing the latter. To my surprise it was exactly what he had said; a bed. But it seemed to be like another small room. Besides his king size bed there was also two night stands, a huge bookcase filled with books, and a dresser. Surprisingly enough there was still plenty of room to walk between each piece of furniture comfortably. I walked over to the book case and started looking through his books. He had a rather good selection, mostly old American literature. One of the books especially caught my eye; it was an extremely old, very thick book entitled Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I took it off the shelf and walked towards the door, "Hey David, can I borrow this?"

"What is it?"

"Gone with the Wind," I replied.

"Oh wow sure, but it's a very long read. You aren't reading the whole time while we are in Paris."

"Oh fine," I pouted.

There was still two hours left in this freakishly long air plane ride. 'I hate Muggle transportation,' I thought to myself. I turned back to my book I had already past page one hundred in Gone with the Wind (out of 1,037) and I loved it so far. Scarlett O'Hara reminded me of Sirius Black; very flirtatious, a bit egotistical, and they both go whom ever they wanted. I suppressed a giggle at the thought of Sirius prancing around in an old Southern style dress, corset and all. Tori stirred, the three of them had fallen asleep the first hour that we had been on the plane. I decided that I would let them sleep for a little while longer so I could devise a plan to wake them.

"AAAHHHH IT'S A SPIDER!!" I screamed and tucked my feet in.

Tori, Hannah, and David woke up in a flash, "HOW DID A SPIDER GET ONTO THE PLANE?!?!?!" Tori started jumping up and down in her chair.
"I HATE SPIDERS!!! IT'S GOING TO KILL ME!!" Hannah followed Tori and started jumping in her seat.

"Don't worry," David said standing up on his chair, "I will kill it!" He struck a pose like he was Super Man or somebody of that importance.

"Please don't kill it; it never did anything to hurt you!!" I said to make his life just a little bit harder.

"Well then Lily, what do you think I should do?" David rolled his eyes.

"Lily, just let him kill it," Hannah nagged.

"Yea please, spiders know they are going to die when they come into places where humans live." Tori explained.

I laughed, if only they knew it was just a pen that they were trying to kill. "Oh fine, do what ever you want with the bloody spider, just don't expect me to be happy about it," I pouted.

David grabbed two tissues and pounced on the spider, but the spider was too quick for him and it scurried under one of the vacant seats. I said something under my breath and even though I couldn't see it, I knew the spider had turned back into a pen.

"Oh my gosh David, I can't believe you didn't kill that spider!!" Tori slapped David on the arm rather hard.

"So, how much longer do we have left in this journey?" Hannah asked changing the subject.

"I think we should have about… thirty minutes left." I said, "But you guys have been sleeping the whole time so it probably feels like we've been on the plane for only an hour."

"Well what have you been doing miss 'I'm too cool to sleep on planes'?" Tori joked.

"Thinking about what we are going to do in Paris, thinking about next weekend and reading Gone with the Wind," I replied.

"What is going on next weekend?" David asked.

"Oh yea I forgot to tell you, three of my best mates from school are coming next weekend!!"

"WHO?!?" Tori and Hannah exclaimed at the same time.

"Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter."

"Oh three guys; Lily my friend, you have done well." Tori winked.

"Wait, James why does that name sound familiar…" Hannah pondered.

"I know who this James Potter fellow is. Isn't he the guy who obsessed over you for six out of the seven years you went to school and then you finally went out with him seventh year and then he did…"

"Yes David, that is exactly who James Potter is." I interrupted.

"Oh yea, now I remember who he is. Why did you say he could come?" Tori asked.

"Well he sent me this really sweet Ow…" I had almost said the word Owl, "sorry I hit my elbow. Anyway, he sent me this really sweet letter and I just got it when I got home from going out to eat with you guys and so I thought I'd let him come only if Remus and Sirius came with him. I already called him, so the three of them will be coming some time Friday morning."

"I can't believe you are giving him a second chance Lily Evans. This James guy sounds extremely egotistical and I don't trust him at all." David argued.

"David I thought I couldn't trust him, but from how he wrote the letter he sent me, it seems like he is really sorry. Everybody deserves a second chance don't they?" David was at a loss for words; he blushed then stared at his shoes.

"Do you have the letter Lily?" Hannah asked.

"Yes I do actually," I took the letter out of Gone with the Wind and gave it to Hannah.

"Oh wow he sounds like he really is sorry," Tori said reading over Hannah's back, "Just tell me if you don't want him okay?"

I laughed, "Well maybe… but I'm not promising anything yet." I looked over at David and saw that he was still staring at his shoes, "Listen David, I'm not about let James back into my life with open arms. I'm not going to do anything stupid that I will regret in the future, okay?"

"Fine whatever, I just don't want to see you getting hurt."

"If you will look to your right you will see the Eiffel Tower," the pilot's voice came over the loud speaker. "Welcome to Paris."
