Who: James Potter and Lily Evans
What: Coming to pick her up
When: Today
Where: Bristol, then his flat
Warnings: Doubtful? We'll see ;) PG-13 probably

It was cold, and Lily was mostly annoyed though amused despite herself. She figured she'd better get out any kind of smiles and giggles before James showed up. Because she couldn't possibly let him know that he was amusing. He drove her around the bend, but he had some good moments. She just wasn't going to tell him that. This whole place was very odd, and she still didn't know if she got what was going on.

She waited at the train station with her hands in her pockets, wondering what it was going to be like having to put up with him 24 hours a day.

James was playing it cool. Or, that what he wanted to do. The nervous energy of meeting a Lily he recognized was overwhelming. In the back of his head, he was wondering how the mates would handle her, if she would put up with him again, how he should break the bad news of their future to her.

But before he drove himself mad with all the questions, he pushed that aside and got himself to the train station. He apparated with a loud crack, not bothering for stealth. Lily would need to find him in the middle of a crowded station anyway.

When he spotted a familiar head of red hair in the distance, his face split into a wide grin. The sight of her was enough to make him catch his breath.

The sound of an apparation got her attention, even though there were people around, trying to catch their trains or what not. She waited for a moment, knowing he'd be along soon. It was pretty easy to spot her anyways. When she saw him, she smiled despite herself and then quickly stopped. Right. No smiling!

"Potter.." she greeted, wondering why it was so odd. Oh right because they were in some other universe. In the future. "I guess they don't care about you doing magic in front of muggles?"

	She smiled. Just for a minute. It was enough to warm James thoroughly. She didn't hate him completely, try as she might. This meant there was hope for James, yet. "Evans." He smiled. Not much would be able to melt his smile. "There's no Ministry here and enough weird shit happens that no one seems to mind when we do magic." He looked her over. "How are you?"

It was hard not to smile when he was smiling, but she was determined not to. She'd just have to wait until he started driving her crazy again, then it would be much easier. "Like people showing up out of nowhere? I'll keep that in mind," she slid her hands out of her pockets and gave a shrug.

"Okay I guess? It's weird, but I'm trying to just go with it. No use in totally freaking out." she looked over at him. "How have you been? How long have you even been here? Because it seems like I just saw you.."

He knew her well. That was his problem. He could see that she was suppressing a smile. And he knew that if he tried hard enough, he could get a laugh out of her. He didn't because he didn't want to rock away the foundations of her world. She wasn't quite used to not hating him. She'd need some time. "You just missed all the singing," James said with a smirk. "And the nudity. There was an epidemic of nudity." She wasn't going to believe him. He'd have to fetch a paper to prove it to her.

He nodded and wondered how badly she'd freak out if he told her about her future. "I'm fine. Had a bit of a bad weekend, but this week's starting to look better." James was a charmer. "I've been here over a year now. I come from seventh year. It was our last day of school and I woke up in this world." He grinned, "I thought the mates were playing a bad prank."

He started walking toward the door. "Y'want to go for a walk or something? Or just head to our apartment." It took self control not to stress "our". But he managed.

Her eyes widened slightly, eyebrows lifting up. "Singing and nudity. Right." well people did say weird stuff happened, but that was pushing it a little too far. "I guess I imagined at the right time to avoid all of that. Are you sure it wasn't you lot just running around and making people naked? Because I could see that."

But then they would have gone to her and done it first. Even if she didn't really remember. Maybe they had, she didn't know. Oh god, had he seen her naked? She blushed for no reason and let out a frustrated sigh. "So you're older than me.." she wondered about his weekend, but figured it wasn't her place to ask.

She followed, glad she didn't have baggage or anything to carry. "We can go for a walk if you want, though I don't know where I'm going. Maybe it would be easier to walk someplace you know so at least then we won't get lost."

"Well," James said with a grin, "That could have been a fun prank, but we weren't responsible. You don't believe me, do you? Check one of the papers when you have a free minute, love." He seemed confident to the point of being cocky, which was a bad habit of his. He slipped into it around women, especially those he wanted to impress. There wasn't a woman he wanted to impress more than Lily Evans.

"Not by much," James said. She was a sixth year. Which meant she missed their becoming a couple, their first time having sex (which was just as well as it'd been terribly), James losing his parents, and graduation. Weird, but James was used to being older than his friends by a little bit.

"How about Hyde Park? The flat's not too far from there. If you get cold we can duck inside."

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "I'm sure you're just dying to prove me wrong, but I'm not sure I want to see that the paper talks about how people are running around naked. And I definitely don't want to see the pictures." He was such a pain in her ass. And she didn't want to say she'd just believe him, there was no way she'd say it or do it, so she didn't say anything at all.

"Yeah all right, Hyde Park's fine.." she pulled out her wand (where had she been keeping it? who knew) and waited for him to go first. She didn't think he'd ditch her, but it was just in case. Really.

"I am," James admitted, "A little." He smirked pleasantly. "Most of the pictures are blurred up. Muggles are very uptight about that sort of thing, it seems." This, coming from James who felt little wrong with walking around the flat naked whenever the mood so struck him.

"Ladies first?" He looked at her, waiting for her to disappear. He didn't want to be too rude to her her first day here.

If he walked around naked in front of her, there were going to be issues. "Fine.. naked and singing. Whatever you say, Potter." she didn't want to argue about something small. She'd wait until they had a big argument. Lily was sure that there was coming any time now.

With a small sigh, she apparated to Hyde Park without saying anything to him. And amazingly she got there in one piece. She wasn't sure the last time she'd been to Hyde Park really.

"Don't be so sour, Evans." James couldn't help but be amused. He'd missed her like this. This is how he liked her best, when she was just spoiling for a fight with him. In order to annoy her slightly, he winked at her as she disappeared from his sight.

Within a moment, he was beside her in Hyde Park. It was cold, but the sun was poking out from between clouds. It was a nice day. James put his hands in his pockets and for a minute, the smile went away. He looked up at the sky thoughtfully. He wasn't sure how to talk to Lily about the important things, but she did have a right to know.

As soon as he appeared beside her, she frowned, "I'm not sour, you just shouldn't think your god's gift.." she had a bad urge to smack him upside his head, but she didn't. She just put her wand away, and looked around. Hyde Park looked different then she remembered, but then everything did.

"Which way do you want to walk?" she asked, pulling her jacket a little closer to her.

	"You are sour," James said. "And I am God's gift." He was grinning, but it wasn't quite as bright as it had been. After a second, he said, "This way." And he began to walk slowly. "There are some things I should probably warn you about," he said quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
