James & Lily: Diagon Alley, August 15
[Who]: Lily Evans & James Potter [When]: August 15, 1977 [Where]: Diagon Alley, Potter Mansion [What]: James and Lily meet up for a chat and a smoke, and end up running into trouble.
The summer sun burned onto the back of Lily's neck and bare shoulders as she made her way through Diagon Alley, pushing past the crowds in the street. She wasn't quite sure what she was doing here. Meeting James Potter of all people.
"Want to go for a smoke?" Lil, what in hell were you thinking?
Lily hadn't seen James all summer, and for some reason (she refused to dwell on why), her heart was pounding at the thought of seeing him again.
He's a good mate, I'm just excited because he's my mate.
Right, Lily.
She turned onto the street that James had asked her to meet him on, gathering her red hair up into a messy bun as she did. It was too blasted hot.
