First Kiss Chapter one. Trying to work up the nerve!

Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Lily and James only had the two days for their honeymoon since they had to be back for more Auror training.

The happy couple had met up with Sirius and Lupin at the Ministry of Magic.

Sirius and Remus walked over to give the happy couple big hugs hello.

“I see you left him in one piece Evans, good for you to restrain yourself like that.” Sirius teased her.

“Just for that I’ll be sure to leave him a babbling fool next time.” Lily laughed.

“You would too; you are such a little spit fire.” Sirius told her with a wink to James.

“Yeah she is, I’m surprised I can walk now.” James told them as he held onto Lily’s shoulder, staggering a bit.

The boys screamed with laughter Lily shook her head smiling pleased with them.

“My, what is all the laughter here?” A cold voice came from behind them. All four turned to look to see Lucius Malfoy standing there.

“My look whose here, so any word from your little buddy?” Sirius asked snidely.

“Have fun kissing and licking his feet lately?” Remus asked with disgust. “Or are you not important enough for that?”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. I am merely here to speak with the Minister of Magic.” Malfoy said smoothly.

“Yeah right, we all know you’ve joined his ranks.” James looked at him with loathing. He added “Something you’ll regret one day.”

Malfoy just turned on his heels his blonde hair flying out from behind him with the force of his turn.

“I can’t believe they let him in here.” Sirius said as the four walked on to the Auror training center.

They were glad to not see him the rest of the day.

Once again the training was arduous. Lily had noticed an enormous amount of people had dropped out; it had gone from about two hundred to about fifty and only a third of them they were told would actually make it all the way. Lily was scared she would not be one of them. They were made to run a obstacle course while shooting out hexes, curses and any other defensive spells they could think of on the spur of the moment.

James and Sirius of course loved it and wee happily talking about shouting the dark robe man who turned out to be two little kids.

“I say they learn the hard way not to impersonate a Death Eater.” James had told Moody when asked why they hexed him with a stinging hex instead of making sure it was a real Death Eater.

After the training they all left for home. Lily was glad to get home. She looked at James who was speaking excitably with his friends in the living room.

“James, why don’t you; go out and have fun? I’m gonna nap for a while. When you get home we can go look for an apartment of our own.” Lily told him.

James smiled at her. It was one thing he loved about her. She didn’t mind giving him space and freedom with his friends.

“Ok Evans, ummm Potter, I’ll see ya later.” James kissed her gently. “I guess I need to get use to you no longer being Evans huh.” James laughed.

“That’s ok Prongs I have to get used to it too.” Lily waved them out of the door as they all disapperated. Lily figured they were going to the Three Broomsticks or Hogshead.

Lily walked over to the couch and flopped down while putting one of her old records on to play.

She fell asleep after a while. Lily had not known she had a visitor who was watching her sleeping as the song played on; it was now stuck on ‘My love’, which it repeated over and over.
