I Dont Own Anything. JK Rowling does! Props to her!

I moved through the large crowd towards where my luggage would be. I hadn't packed a lot but it was rather hectic getting through the crowd.

I saw James talking with his friends. Sirius had seen me first. I continued through the crowd as if nothing was seen.

"Lily Evans!" Sirius said. "What a pleasure it is to have you here."

"Um. Sirius, this is Platform 4 ¾ … everyone from school is here." I said, sighing. "Bollocks."

James came closer. "What's wrong?"

"I can't seem to find my luggage. I put it here when back at the station, where would it have gone?" James looked over to Sirius and Peter. One of them had done something to it.

I was getting angry. "What the hell. Where would it be?"

James became angry as well. "I think I know."

"Where?" I said, loudly.

"Why don't you ask them." pointing to his friends.

I stomped over. "Where is it? I need to go. My family is waiting."

Sirius gave me a once over. "Well, we'll give it back once you tell us what's going on with you and my buddy, Prongs." he smiled smugly.

"Padfoot, enough." James intervened. "Just give her the damn luggage, you slick git."

Sirius stopped smiling and told Peter to get it. They had placed it on the other side of the train. Swift acting boys, I thought.

James walked me to the parking lot. He was going back home with Sirius. He told me that I had nothing to worry about with Sirius, he just acted that way to be funny. I found it funny he was trying too hard.

We stopped close enough to the parking lot that no one in my family could see us. "What was up with those names? Are they like nicknames?"

"Yes. It helps keep secrets better." he shrugged. "It's kind of lame but, it's what we do."

"Well, that's awfully nice. I wish I had a friend like that." I sniffed. I couldn't stop recollecting that nasty memory of today on the train.

James put his hand on my shoulder, "There is nothing to worry about. With you in my life, we can make our own fun." I smiled. He was completely barking but, it felt so right.

I didn't know what to say to him. I knew I was needed at the car. Daddy was probably beaming that he would see his 'little girl'. Mummy the same. But, Petunia, was probably trying to hex me, although she didn't know how to.

"So, I better go find my parents." James said suddenly. I nodded. "Me too." He glanced down, taking my hands in his softly.

"I really can't express what I'm feeling right now." He said. He leaned in, moving slowly trying not to rush into anything.

"Nor can I." I leaned in too.

Our lips met instantly. It was a sweet, innocent kiss. I felt completely and irrevocably smitten. I didn't want to pull back but, I heard a familiar voice. "Jolly good show, you two." It was Sirius.

James turned red. "It's okay." I said. "I will see you at your party, right? I am still invited, without a date?"

"Of course. And I wouldn't have let you in with a date anyways." He joked. "You'll be mine, right?" I smiled and nodded.

He hugged me and I ran to meet my family. I heard him say he would send me as many owl's as possible. I smiled.

**********************************************************************

In the car, after all the family embraces, I sat next to Petunia. She sure had grown lankier from the last time I saw her. She rambled on about her newest boyfriend, Vernon Dursley. He was 4 years older than herself. She was after all almost out of school. Dad always knew she would find a man. Of course he had also said, in hushed tones to me, that he would be content with whatever lifestyle she chose.

I knew this break would be longer than expected. Dad had wanted me to sit with him and talk about my classes all the time. Mum wanted me to help out in the kitchen, get some more practice in for my future as a wife and mother.

Other than being with my family, I sat in my room, thinking of James. I hadn't known that I could fall for someone so quickly but, it felt completely right.

I laid in bed thinking, and Petunia walked in. "Lil, we need to talk."

"Yes, sister dear. Whatever could it be?" I smiled.

"You're acting different. What's his name?" She asked, bluntly.

"James." I said, fluidly. Petunia giggled but, it came out as a horses 'neigh'.

"Are you in love with him? How long have you known him?" She was nicer than she used to be. Must be Vernon was making her that way.

"I just started talking to him as a human being the day you picked me up. And he's the nicest guy I know."

"What happened to Severus?" I sighed, hoping that when I told the story, I wouldn't cry.

After I told her, I took a deep breath. I felt great about not getting emotional. I didn't need my sister to feel sorry for me. She never did usually.

She was stunned. She had never thought he would be so arrogant. But, I told her not to worry. I had better friends and I would be happy with them now. Then I insisted on telling her that I was going to James' party for New Years.

**************************************************

At the dinner table a few days later, I sat playing with the food on my plate. I couldn't stop thinking about James, still.

"Lillian, what's the matter with the food?" Mum asked. She had used my full first name, usually meaning she was irritated.

I sighed. "Nothing's the matter, Mum. Just thinking."

Dad eyed me as mum went on. "About what, dear?"

"About the boy she likes." Petunia said, immaturely. Who knew an 18 year old could be such a child sometimes? Obviously I shouldn't have trusted her with my infatuation.

Mum's eye brows raised, "Oh, what's his name?"

"James Potter." I said, blushing. Dad wouldn't say anything as we continued eating. I ate a little bit so they wouldn't get worried. That was the last thing I needed.

******************************************************************

James' party was only a day away. I couldn't wait. I had talked to mum about it, and she said it was fine. I was mature enough to make my own decisions. Dad, of course, had a little talk with me about if James touched me the wrong way, that I was to scream. I shrugged him off because, I knew James wouldn't touch me inappropriately. He was the perfect gentleman. I had nothing to worry about. Although, the only thing I knew was, I had to watch out for Sirius. I had heard he was the one guy who was trouble when he was wasted.

I couldn't wait to see James though. This break was finally going by fast from my thoughts of him. And his party would be the night I would finally have more alone time with him.

Please Review. I hope the story makes sense. I like this story, but i dont wanna jinx myself. Tell me what you think!
