Chapter 4

~*~*~*~

The next morning Lily woke up bright and early. She quickly got up and had a shower before anyone else awoke. It was only 6:30 and breakfast wasn't being served for another hour. Lily then grabbed a book out of her trunk and went and sat in the common room. She opened the front of cover of the book 'Shakespearean Texts'. Lily was so fascinated by the book that she hadn't noticed a person sit down opposite her.

"Jeez Lily you don't give up do you?" A voice said. Lily looked up from the book and smiled. Eve Potter was sitting in front of her. This was James' younger sister. She had black wavy hair that just passed her ears. She had the same hazel eyes that she and James took after her dad. Lily had noticed this.

"Hey Eve. How was your summer? I heard you spent it in the south of France." Lily smiled.

"I had a brilliant time." Eve smiled.

"Any cute guys?" Lily grinned.

"So many. I met this one guy who was just unbelievable." Eve said dreamily. Lily laughed.

"Don't let James hear you say that." Lily smiled. James was very protective over his sister, just the year before he punched a Slytherin because he kissed her. James didn't like Eve associating with the Slytherins.

"Never mind him. How was your summer?" Eve asked interestedly. Lily smiled.

"It was fun. I went to the Caribbean for two weeks then joined a theatre group." Lily smiled.

"Do anything else fun?" Eve asked shrugging.

"No, not really." Lily said eyeing Eve. What was she getting at?

"Oh, so dinner with my parents isn't fun?" Eve smiled. Lily's jaw dropped.

"How did you know about that?" Lily asked.

"When I came back, mum talked about a girl James had been going out with for the summer. How she was so nice and sweet and really good for dear old Jamie." Eve said seriously. "Well wasn't I shocked to learn that it was loveable Lily Evans, who would never do a thing wrong, like cheat on her boyfriend." Eve said with the same mischievous grin that James had.

"It isn't like that. You wouldn't understand Eve." Lily said looking at the ground.

"Would I not? Well I guess you're right cause I certainly don't understand why you would still be going out with Jordan when you and James are acting like the happy couple round me parents." Eve said seriously.

"Fine then. The reason why I'm still going out with Jordan is to keep up this stupid act, that I'm the wholesome girl who would never fall in love with the bad guy." Lily said.

"You love James?" Eve asked.

"I don't know." Lily said looking at Eve. "Look I'm sorry about going off on one. It's just this is all so confusing to me as well." Lily said shrugging.

"Lily who would you rather be with Jordan or James?" Eve asked.

"James, without a doubt." Lily said.

"Well then dump Jordan. And let me have him." Eve smiled.

"It's not that easy. If I dump him everybody will be wondering why and I'm not ready to bring my relationship with James out in the open yet." Lily smiled weakly. "And plus I don't even know if James wants to bring it out in the open."

"Well I know he's crazy over you." Eve smiled.

"How do you know that?" Lily asked curiously.

"Since I've been home from France, he's actually been nice to me. You've for once put him in a long-term happy mood. You must be good in bed if you make him that happy." Eve smiled raising her eyebrows. Lily went pink.

"Well, umm, actually, we umm haven't slept together yet." Lily said shyly. Eve's jaw dropped.

"You guys haven't had sex yet?" Eve asked loudly.

"Shhh! Somebody will hear." Lily said putting a finger to her lips.

"I'm sorry. I'm just a little shocked, is all. James must really like you then if he's still with you and you guys haven't done it." Eve chuckled.

"I hope so." Lily said looking at the ground. "Eve you can't tell anyone about James and I, okay?" Lily asked her.

"Sure, but I'm only doing this so I can black mail James." Eve grinned to herself.

"You can't use this for blackmail! Plus it isn't his fault it's mine." Lily said. Eve stood up and faked a pout.

"Fine." Eve said. They both looked up as one of the dorm doors opened. Two of Eve's friends came out through the door.

"I better go me and the girls have some business." Eve said with a wink then walked away. Lily shook her head in amusement. Like brother, like sister.

Lily thought about the day that she had had dinner with James and his parents. She was only supposed to go out with James for the day but Lily had got talking to James' mum and she invited Lily to stay on for dinner. Lily had a nice time.

Lily was sitting in her living room waiting for James to arrive. It was coming up to midday and Lily's mum was flittering about cleaning the house. Lily didn't know what her and James were doing he just asked her if she wanted to go for a drive. Lily was excited because she liked James' car and of course she liked James. Lily looked at the clock and it just turned twelve when the doorbell rang. Lily quickly jumped up to answer it but was beat by her mother who opened the door. James was standing on the porch in a pair of denims and a khaki colored top. Lily smiled at him.

"James dear, nice to see you again. Please come in." Lily's mum said opening up the door wider.

"Mum we have to go, we're gonna be late." Lily lied. She grabbed her handbag, then kissed her mum on the cheek and grabbed James' hand and walked towards his car.

"See you later Mrs. Evans." James smiled as they walked away. James opened up the passenger side for Lily then walked round to the drivers' side, got in and started up the car. The roof of the convertible was down and Lily waved to her mother who was still standing on the doorstep watching them. When they were out of sight from her house, Lily through her arms round James and started kissing him.

"Lily, I'm trying to drive." James laughed. Lily smiled at him the snuggled up close to him as they drove.

"So where are you taking me?" Lily asked.

"It's a surprise." James smiled at her. Ten minutes later James pulled to a stop. Lily looked round her. They were in the middle of a wood.

"If this is some plan to kidnap me, it isn't a good thing to let your hostage see were you are taking them." Lily said her eyebrows furrowed. James laughed.

"This is going to sound weird but let me put this blindfold on." James smiled pulling out a black piece of cloth. Lily looked at him.

"Okay. But I'm only doing this because I trust you." Lily said letting James put it round her eyes. James got out of the car and got something out of the trunk then went and opened Lily's door. Lily got out nervously not knowing what she was doing. James closed the door then locked the door and put his arm round Lily's waist so he could lead her towards their destination. After five minutes of walking and Lily whining they finally stopped.

"Can I take this off yet?" Lily whined.

"No. Now stop whining." James said happily. Lily pretended to pout. "Don't take that look with me." James said. He put his arms round her waist and kissed her sweetly on the lips. Lily smiled at him when they pulled away.

James then walked behind her and took the blindfold off. Lily gasped as she saw the sight before her. They were by a small lake and there was a picnic set up. Beside the picnic was a large oak tree, the branches hung over their heads that shaded them both from the warm sun. Lily could see the reflection of the trees on the lake and also the blue sky. There were also patches of wild flowers everywhere. It was the most beautiful place Lily had ever seen. Lily spun round and hugged James then kissed him passionately.

"This is so sweet." Lily said. "James you shouldn't have." Lily said looking back at the picnic.

"I must say I'm glad I did." James said touching his lips. Lily hit him in the stomach playfully.

They both sat down on the blanket and opened up the picnic basket. There was a whole range of food from fruit to Lily's favorite types of buns and cakes. James sat up against the tree and let Lily sit between his legs and lean against his chest. They sat there for hours talking and having fun.

If anybody had walked past they would have thought Lily and James had been going out forever, they were just so sweet together. Lily had a camera in her bag and was taking pictures of her and James. After a while Lily looked at her watch it was coming up to four o'clock. Lily never wanted to leave but she was getting cold.

She was only wearing a long summer dress and had forgotten her jacket. James could feel that she was shivering and wrapped his arms tighter around her. Lily smiled at him and cuddled him in his arms.

Ten minutes later they decided to leave. James packed up the stuff and carried it towards the car whilst hand in hand with Lily. Inside the car James handed his denim jacket, which was in the backseat, to Lily. Lily smiled at him.

"Thanks but wouldn't it be better if you put the top up?" She asked putting the jacket on. It was big on her but Lily liked it.

"I would, only Peter broke it the other night." James shrugged.

"How did he do that?" Lily asked as James started the car.

"He was messing with it and it just kind of broke. My Dad went mad. It was only bought new a couple of weeks ago." James said driving away from the wood. Lily snuggled up close to James again.

"Where are we going now?" Lily asked a few minutes later.

"Wanna go chill at my house? My mum and Dad are out, Eve is in France for the summer and Sirius has gone over to Remus' to check out his new broom." James said.

"Sure." Lily said kissing him on the cheek. "I forgot Sirius lived with you. You guys are pretty close, huh?" Lily said. James shrugged.

"Yeah suppose we are. Only person who can keep me grounded." James chuckled. Lily laughed and rolled her eyes.

A while later James turned into a driveway of a huge house. Lily's jaw dropped. The house was nearly four times bigger than her home. There was a huge garden with lots of flowerbeds and a huge fountain at the top of the drive. James pulled into the garage and turned the car off. Lily was in shock even the garage was big. There were five other cars and they were all very expensive looking. James opened Lily's door and helped her out. He took a hold of Lily's hand then led her inside. As they walked through the house Lily couldn't help but feel in awe at how beautiful this house was. James opened a door and Lily was about to walk in when James quickly walked back out again.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked him.

"Umm-" James began.

"James?" A voice called from inside.

"My parents are home." James said. Lily started to get nervous.

"Your parents? I wasn't exactly counting on meeting your parents today. Do I look okay?" Lily said straightening her dress. James smiled.

"You look beautiful, but we don't have to do this." James said.

"No, it's now or never right?" Lily smiled weakly. James kissed her on the cheek as the door opened. James' dad was standing in the doorway smiling at them. Lily's jaw dropped. It was the Minster of Magic! She quickly regained herself as James led her into the huge living room. James's dad closed the door behind them and walked over to his wife and sat down beside her.

"Mum, Dad this is Lily, Lily this is my Mum and Dad." James then turned to leave pulling Lily with him.

"James hold on a minute. Come in and sit down." Mr. Potter smiled. James sighed and led Lily towards one of the huge couches. Lily smiled as she sat down.

"So Lily tell us about you. What is your second name?" Mr. Potter asked.

"Umm Evans." Lily said.

"That's a nice name. You wouldn't by chance be related to Sean Evans?" Mr. Potter asked. Lily smiled.

"Yes. He is my father." Lily said.

"He is? I met him at the Muggle University in London. I was taking a few courses there after I left Hogwarts. Of Course he didn't know I was a wizard." Mr. Potter smiled.

"That's weird." Lily smiled.

"So Lily, what are your plans after you leave Hogwarts?" Mrs. Potter asked.

"Oh I want to be fashion designer. My parents already have an internship for me with Gucci but I would much rather do something in the wizarding world." Lily smiled.

"Fashion designer? How very nice indeed. You have everything very well planned so far. Too bad James didn't think like you." Mrs. Potter smiled. James rolled his eyes and stood up.

"Lily and I will be in the Game's room." James said. Lily also stood up, as did James' parents. They both shook Lily's hand and smiled.

"It was very nice meeting you, Lily." Mrs. Potter smiled.

"And you." Lily smiled. James then led her from the room and took her through a maze of corridors. When they reached the Game's room, James took her inside and closed the door. Lily stood there and stared at him.

"Why didn't you tell me who your father was?" Lily asked. James shrugged.

"I thought you knew." He said putting his arms around her waist. He pulled her close to him and kissed her. The door opened and James and Lily quickly pulled apart. Mr. Potter was at the door.

"I'm sorry to interrupt. Lily we were wondering if perhaps you wanted to stay for dinner?" Mr. Potter asked. Lily had gone slightly pink.

"Ok." Lily smiled at him. "I just need to phone my parents." Lily said.

"Good, I'll tell Minnie to set another place. James, show Lily where the phone is." Mr. Potter smiled then left. James put his hands through his hair.

"You don't have to stay; I'll make up an excuse or something." James said.

"Don't be silly. I don't mind staying." Lily smiled. James took her hand.

"Come on I'll let you phone your parents." James smiled. James led her through a secret tunnel down to the kitchen where the phone was. Lily phoned her parents.

"Hi Mum, I'll not be home till late okay?" Lily said into the receiver. James was looking out into his backyard that was very big. "Yeah, everything's fine I'm just having Dinner here at James'...I promise I won't be too late, okay...Love you too." Lily hung up the receiver.

"Everything okay?" James asked. Lily smiled.

"Yeah. I must thank your parents though because my sister's boyfriend is having dinner at mine, and now I don't have to go." Lily said happily. James smiled.

"Want me to give you the tour of the place?" James asked.

"Sure." Lily smiled. James took her hand and took her on a tour of the house. Lily was amazed at the size of the place. There were about ten guest bedrooms and fourteen bathrooms. He also showed her Sirius's bedroom, which was strangely clean and very homey looking almost as if he had lived there all his life. The last room James' took her into was his room. When Lily walked inside she was shocked at how normal it looked. She was expecting to see Quidditch posters everywhere. Instead the room was Red with pine furniture. James had a huge double four-poster bed. Lily sat down on the bed and looked around. There was a desk at one side of the room; beside it was a bookshelf. Lily stood up and walked over to it, she read some of the book titles. 'The philosophical world of magic', 'One thousand wonders of magic', 'Transfiguration in it's greatest form'. Lily was shocked to see all these books. She was shocked that James' even read books.

"Don't look to shocked." James smiled. Lily blushed.

"Sorry, it's just I never thought that you had ever opened a book." Lily said.

"It's okay." James said. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"You know I like the color scheme. Very patriotic of you to chose your house colors." Lily smiled raising her eyebrows.

"I'm the loyal type." James said before kissing her on the lips. Yet again they were interrupted but this time by the house elf. James sighed as he pulled away from Lily.

"Yes Minnie?" James smiled at the elf.

"Dinner is served Master James and Miss Lily." Minnie squeaked.

"Thank you Minnie; tell my parents we will be right down." James smiled. The elf nodded then left the room. "I don't think we will ever be alone." James said sadly.

"Oh don't fuss." Lily smiled then kissed him passionately. James smiled at her.

"We better go. I'm starving." James smiled. He led her from the room. When they got to the dining room Lily sat opposite Mrs. Potter whilst James sat opposite his father.

"I'm so happy you could join us for dinner, Lily." Mrs. Potter smiled. Dinner was very pleasant. The conversation drifted from how James and Lily got to together to what James was like in school. Of course Lily had to lie, saying that James was very 'quiet'. Once dinner was over they went and sat in the living room again. Lily and Mrs. Potter continued their conversation on Lily's future job whilst Mr. Potter asked James about Lily.

"So have you guys…" Mr. Potter trailed off.

"Dad, don't this is embarrassing enough without you having to ask that." James said quietly. Lily and his mother were on the other side of the room and hadn't heard this.

"I'm just concerned, James. Lily seems like a really nice young lady and she has her head screwed on unlike some." Mr. Potter said. James rolled his eyes.

"Don't start this again Dad." James said.

"James I'm just saying." Mr. Potter said.

"I know you are Dad. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it." James said. Mr. Potter nodded his head.

"Now about Lily, is it serious?" Mr. Potter smiled. James looked at the ground.

"Not as serious as I would like." James said.

"Why? Does she not like you the way you like her?" Mr. Potter asked concernedly.

"She does, it's just she has a boyfriend." James said looking at Lily.

"Oh. Who is he?" Mr. Potter asked shocked.

"Jordan Kensington." James said.

"Ah James now you know we can't be seen out of favor with the Kensington's." Mr. Potter said.

"I know Dad. I know that his Dad is very important at the ministry and I know that he pulls a lot of strings there, and if I was seen going against the Kensington's life for you would be hell at work." James said with a roll of his eyes.

"I'm glad you see my point, James. Just make sure that you and Lily don't make your relationship public whilst she is going out with Jordan, okay? I'm thinking about you also James." Mr. Potter said.

"I know Dad." James smiled weakly. Meanwhile Lily was talking to Mrs. Potter about her fashion ideas.

"Lily this all sounds wonderful." Mrs. Potter smiled. "Your work sounds so good that I want to make an appointment for you at Merlin's house of Wizardry wear." Mrs. Potter smiled. Lily's face dropped.

"T-Thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you any more." Lily smiled.

"Nonsense dear. You make my son happy, that's all I need." Mrs. Potter smiled. Lily looked at James. Both of them locked eyes.

"James!" A voice came from the hallway. James quickly looked away. He knew that voice. It was Sirius'. James quickly jumped up.

"Excuse me one moment." He said before leaving the room. Outside in the hallway, Sirius was walking towards James along with Remus and Peter.

"Hey James. Where were you? You should've seen Moony's broom." Sirius smiled.

"Umm you guys can't be here right now." James said pushing them back towards where they came from.

"Why not?" Remus asked.

"Because-" James began not really knowing where he was going with it. The living room door opened and Mr. Potter walked out interrupting James.

"Ah boys nice to see you all. James can't speak with you right now; he has very important business to deal with." Mr. Potter smiled walking towards them. James gave him a look. Mr. Potter nodded his head.

"Now Sirius I think you owe me a rematch at table football. What is it now? Nine all?" Mr. Potter asked.

"Actually it's 10-9 to me." Sirius smiled.

"Well I want a rematch." Mr. Potter smiled as he led them towards the game room.

"You guys I'll be up in a while. I just have to pop out for a minute." James shouted. He walked back into the living room.

"They're going upstairs to the games' room with Dad." James said.

"I think it's time I got going." Lily smiled.

"I'll drive you." James smiled.

"It was nice meeting you Mrs. Potter." Lily smiled shaking her hand.

"Nonsense the pleasure was all mine. And please call me Jane." Jane said. Lily smiled at her.

"I'll not be long mum." James said kissing her on the cheek.

"Drive carefully James." Mrs. Potter shouted. Lily and James walked back into the garage.

"Which car should I take? The BM, the convertible or the jeep?" James asked. Lily looked at him.

"The convertible?" Lily said shrugging.

"Okay, I'll take my dads. It's cold out and you know I can't put the top up on mine." James said leading her out of the garage. Lily stopped.

"Hold on, all these are yours? But you told me the night you came to my play that the convertible was your dads." Lily said.

"It was my dads'. I hadn't had mine then." James shrugged taking his jacket out of his convertible and putting it round Lily. He smiled at her and led her into the other garage. There were loads of cars. Lily was in shock. They got into the convertible and drove off. Half an hour later they pulled up at Lily's. James being the gentleman he was walked her up to her door. As he was kissing her goodnight, Petunia opened the front door. Lily sighed. She watched as James drove off then went inside, still wearing James' jacket.
