Cruel Summer
That night
James had slept really well on the muggle bed in the
guest room. However, for Lily it was completely the opposite. Whatever she
tried to make herself fall asleep didn’t work and she had tossed and turned all
night. She hated having James here, in her house. They were enemies it felt
strange and wrong.
That morning she
was sitting at the kitchen table still in her shorts & vest top pyjamas,
reading the paper when James came downstairs.
‘Cereal,
coffee or whatever is over there,’ she said flatly, pointing over to the side
and not bothering to look up at him.
‘See-real
what?’
Lily looked at
James incredulously and got up, walking over to the work surface. But James was
taking absolutely no notice of what she was doing. He was too preoccupied with
the fact that she had no bra on underneath the skimpy top she was wearing and
the way her ti…
‘James!’
He snapped his
attention to her face and blinked, ‘Yeah?’
‘What are you
having for breakfast?’
A million
sordid thoughts shot through his mind after her question and he tried to focus.
‘Erm…’ he choked, ‘Pumpkin Juice?’
‘You can have
the next best thing.’
Lily walked
over to the fridge, opened the door and pulled out a carton of juice. Grabbing
a glass, she handed both of them to him and walked back to the table. James
gulped and sat opposite her, trying to keep his eyes and thoughts centred on
one thing, but both just kept going back to Lily’s chest.
‘I’m taking
you shopping today,’ Lily said, out of the blue.
‘You’re taking
me where?’
‘Shopping,’
she said, looking at him, ‘you know, where you get things in exchange for
money?’
James narrowed
his eyes at her. His thoughts of her were changing until she opened her mouth
and said something.
‘Fine,’ he
mumbled, sipping the juice.
After a
silence of about 10 minutes, James stood up, ‘I’m going to take a shower.’
‘Uh huh,’ she
muttered and continued reading.
‘Well, can you
show me how to work it?’
Lily looked at
him, an insult on the tip of her tongue but she chose to keep silent.
After his
shower, she had used it as well. She had been amazed at the sweet smell of his
shower gel.
‘At least I
hope it was shower gel,’ she had thought.
Wrapping a
towel around herself, she got out, dried herself off and got dressed into a
pair of cords, a scooped white top and her favourite pair of black boots. After
quickly drying her hair and applying her make-up with magic, she stepped out into
the hall and down the stairs into the lounge.
‘Petunia,’ she
said to her sister, ‘have you seen my handbag?’
‘No,’ she
answered flatly, refusing to look up from the television.
Lily looked at
her, ‘I thought Mum and Dad told you to find a job while they’re at work?’
‘Shut up
Lily.’
Lily sighed,
walking into the kitchen and picking up her bag that sat on the shelf, next to
the post.
At that point,
James came down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, fully clad in wizarding robes. She looked at his clothes and reached for
her wand.
‘What are you
doing?’ he asked her suspiciously.
‘Making alterations.’
He didn’t get
time to say anything before she transfigured his black robes into a pair of
jeans and a turtleneck sweater.
‘There,’ she
looked at him, ‘now you look presentable.’
A snort came
from the other side of the room, making them both turn to the noise. Petunia
stood in the doorway, looking at James as if he was an insect that was in
desperate need of a squishing.
‘Real clothes
can’t hide the fact that you’re both freaks!’
Lily narrowed
her eyes at her sister and played with her wand in her fingertips, ‘Tell me,
Petunia, would you like any alterations while I’m just giving them away?’
Petunia
sneered before scuttling off into the lounge as Lily grabbed James and dragged
him out of the house.
*********************************
The walk to
the train station was a definite interesting one. The fact that muggles were everywhere made James nervous, resulting in
him looking like an escaped criminal when he kept looking around everywhere.
His constant pestering to apperate there faster was
slowly but surely driving Lily insane. By the time they had arrived at the
station and they’d fought over the timetable to catch the right train, Lily was
good and ready to charm something away like she had promised.
On the train
they sat opposite each other in silence, which she was glad about while James
looked out of the window at England passing by at 70mph.
He turned to
look at Lily as she glanced at her muggle watch, ‘I
don’t like your sister much.’
‘She’ll be so
upset,’ she answered sarcastically, ‘I think she’s
really into you.’
James chose to
ignore the sarcasm, it had been less than a day that he’d spent with her but it
felt like a year already.
‘Merlin, does
this girl piss me off,’ he thought, ‘she’s worse than Wormtail.’
As if reading
his mind, Lily looked at him and asked, ‘Why do you hang around with Sirius and
that lot?’
James shifted
his gaze to her question, ‘Why not?’
‘Don’t do
that.’
‘What?’
‘Answer my
question with a question.’
‘Sorry your Highness.’
Lily rolled
her eyes and sighed, ‘Well?’
‘Coz they’re
my mates; the Marauders. You know the deal.’
‘Hmm,’ she
mused, folding her arms, ‘all I see are immature little boys that name
themselves considerably more than you actually are. Which is
also profoundly sad by the way.’
James
acknowledged her coolly as she sat back in her seat with a small smirk on her
lips.
‘You’re lucky
I don’t hit girls,’ he said calmly.
‘Why? Because
you would kick my ass otherwise?’ she scoffed, laughing, ‘Yeah I can just see
that happening.’
James’ jaw
hardened and his features froze as she continued with the stream of insults.
‘And what’s
with all the nicknames? Does every member get a cute little pet name to go with
their imaginary power?’
Lily’s eyes
lit up and she smirked, ‘Ooh, do you talk in code?’
James lunged
across the space between them, grabbing her throat and pinning her to the seat,
his cerulean eyes piercing her deep emerald ones like shards of splintered
glass. Lily had sucked in her breath as James had leapt on her, pressing her
into the soft material. She was glad the carriage was quite empty suddenly as
she made her alarm quite evident in her face and body language.
‘Fucking shut up, Evans. You don’t know what you’re talking about,’ he
growled in her face.
‘Get. Off. Me.’ she warned.
‘Listen to me
Lily!’ he seethed, fingers pressing deeper into her soft neck, his breath hot
on her face, ‘Don’t even dare to say anything about them in front of me. Do you
understand?’
Whether Lily
was disorientated by his actions or the fact that he’d used her first name, she
didn’t know, but she looked hard into his raging hot eyes and leaned forward
the inch between their faces to meet his lips. Utterly stunned for a second
James pulled away fast from her and she pushed him hard, backwards into his
seat.
Lily grabbed
her bag as the train pulled into the station and stopped, and she got up fast
from the cubicle and strode towards the open doors. James, still thoroughly
shocked, watched her leave without actually acknowledging that she was and he
paused for a second. When he realised that he was on his own he jumped from his
seat and scrambled out of the train.
Stepping onto
the hard platform, he looked around but all he saw was muggles.
They were everywhere waiting for trains. James scanned the crowd, honing his
Seeker skills on finding her. He only had to do it once before he caught sight
of her retreating form, heading for the station exit, her wavy red hair swaying
behind her.
James sprinted
towards her, using his Quidditch skills again to
weave and dodge the oblivious muggles, managing to
catch her up quickly.
‘Lily!’
She ignored
him.
‘Lily!’
Again, she
chose to ignore him. James grabbed her arm hard and spun her around to face
him.
‘What the hell
was that for?’ he exclaimed, still latched to her arm in case she bolted.
‘It got you
off me, didn’t it?’ she answered flatly.
Lily tugged her arm from his grasp and walked through the exit onto the
street, leaving James standing on the platform thoroughly confused and a
strange sensation bubbling in the pit of his stomach.
