After a tiring day, I had just come out of the ministry. I don't even remember why did I take up this job? I was fine being a quidditch player and acting like a poster boy...
Just then, it started raining, oh beautiful rain. But I had to act like a sophisticated ministry official, again one of the disadvantages. Ughh.
As I started walking, I thought about sitting in the park near the ministry exit. Yeah , I definitely need it after arguing about the rights of werewolves.
As I started my ascend toward the park, I noticed a bright red shade glowing in the background green and grey.
It couldn't be... It's been 10 years... It just couldn't..be.
But it was hard to miss those hairs.
She was standing there feeling the rain and her notebook? Yeah her notebook lie discarded there.
Hands in my robe's pockets, I could do nothing but stare.
She definitely was the girl I had been hopelessly in love with during school. But she disappeared from the Wizarding world, what makes here come here?
Oh wait, Remus?
"Oye, Remus!"
The said person turned to me but not the gentle Remus face but comicallly wide eyed Remus as if he was just caught keeping dungbombs in Slytherin dorm by Filch for the first time.
As I walked(jogged) towards him the redhead turned her head to look for the source of the sound.
She froze like a stone, and I stopped dead in my path.
"Evans.."
"Potter." Short and crisp Lily Evans
She looked tired unlike Lily Evans the head girl.
I ran towards them my umbrella discarded but halted just in front of them unsure of what to do what to say.
" Evans.. you.."
"James, I can explain." It was Remus who spoke.
" You better do."
" Don't threaten Remus,or I will hex you so bad that you will travel back in time."
She earned a stiffled laugh from Remus but just a open mouthed expression from me.
"Alright Evans. I had rather ask you out and get hexed than for threatening my supposed friend."
Alright, calm down James!!! They both are here, you will know.
" How long Remus?'
"We are not seeing each other stupid." Replied Remus in the same Remus calm tone as if explaining me how to leave Lily alone.
" I figured that, I meant how long has it been that she has reappeared."
" Just for the information boys, I mean men, I am standing right here."
I stared at Remus ignoring Lily.
" For a year"
"Remus-"
"No, Lily, no. We can't keep hiding this from him. He already knows you are here do you think he will let us live with our excuse of us accidently meeting each time for a year?"
Lily ofcourse didn't have an answer for it.
I shifted my attention to her and asked in a gentle tone-" hey, can we get coffee at my place?"
Sensing her hesitation, I assured her that Sirius isn't there and that he is in Paris to meet his girlfriend of 4 years.
"He got himself a stable girlfriend?" Asked Lily amused.
"He has gone there tobbreakup with her.."
"What?!" added Remus.
" Details later, let's apparate"
" I don't have my wand with me James"
I don't know what suprised me more, her first name terms or her going around without a wand. But we had to get her home soon.
" Side apparattion' I said reaching out for her hand.
The three of us quickly apparated back to my flat.
