living is easy with eyes closed [/color]  - - - - misunderstanding all you see - - - - [/font][/color][/center] Lily sat on a bench in Hogsmeade she didn’t have much to do today and with today being relatively warm she figured going for a walk around Hogsmeade would be a good idea. She was taking a small break on the bench just taking in the sites, Lily could see many wizarding families walking around. A small frown formed on her face…soon that would be her according to the law… married with a kid… she shook her head it seemed impossible that she would be married soon… it was all so unromantic. She was completely lost in site and didn’t notice someone sit down next to her on the bench.
”Lily” Lily glanced up at the sound of a voice, a small friendly smile formed on her face. Next to her sat Thomas Sanger he graduated Hogwarts the same year as herself. She had never really been a fan of him… he was rude and not all around a nice guy. She didn’t know why he sat down next to her he wasn’t always nice to her at school with her being muggle born and all.
”Hello Thomas”
[/b] she didn’t want to me mean to him but she really didn’t want to talk to him. It would be rude to just stand up and walk away though. “I am not going to beat around the bush Lily”[/i] he stated with a sly smirk causing Lily to frown slightly… what was he talking about. “You know this whole law thing is in effect right now”[/i] he paused for a moment “And since you are muggle born you might have trouble finding a decent man with such time constraints”[/i] Lily’s from got a little deeper as the former Slytherin talked…where the hell was he going with this… “And even though you are muggle born I’ve noticed you are a strong witch… not to mention beautiful…. So I think I can do you the honor having me as your date” Lily raised her left eyebrow…. Was he asking her out on a date? The honor of going out with him? That was no honor at all… She shook her head “No thank you… I wouldn’t want to be a bother”[/b] A frown formed on Thomas’s face ”No?...”[/i] he gave a slight laugh “Lily I don’t think you understand what good luck you have by me asking you out”[/i] His frown turned from surprised to slightly angry. “No thank you Thomas”[/b] Lily stood up “Thank you for asking but I should go” Lily started to walk away when Thomas grabbed her arm. Lily gasped slightly as he stood up and pulled her into a nearby alleyway . great Lily the one day you decide to not bring your wand[/color] she thought to herself. “Listen here mud blood… you won’t get a catch like me so get rid of your attitude that you are above me and agree to go out with me… you are a strong witch but not stronger then a pureblood after all.” tag who?! words howmany?! lyrics strawberry fields forever - the beatles credit a girl with kaleidoscope eyes @ caution 2.0 notes blahblahblah?!

Not many people would have thought that James Potter who had been a prankster in Hogwarts would have been an auror. It had surprised him if he was being honest but when he had graduated Hogwarts that had been what he had wanted to do. Sure when he had made the pranks and jokes some people had some hurt pride but he hadn’t been vicious, apart from to Snape but that was because of the friendship that he had with Lily. After all Lily, sweet kind caring Lily had been friends with such a creep as Snape had been something that had confused James to the core. Lily had always protected Snape and he had used Lily as a shield to attack James it had been a vicious cycle a lot of the time.
James had to admit that time that he spent in the office wasn’t something that he enjoyed he preferred being in the field if he was honest. Yet he had finished his report and had apparated into Hogsmeade where he had an apartment so that he could grab his broom so that he could go and meet some of the other aurors for a pickup game of Quidditch they didn’t do it often only once a month. After the time that James had with all of the witches asking if he had found a woman that he would consider marrying yet he was considering playing beater even though he had been a chaser at Hogwarts because he needed to hit something.
As he walked through the town he saw Lily Evans and he walked in the direction that she was just to say hi. He knew that he had not given her the best impression when they had been at Hogwarts but as he had matured with being head boy he would have thought that they were at least friends due to his change in attitude. As he got nearer he noted she was arguing with a guy Sanger, from what he could remember he had been a Slytherin and he hadn’t been a nice one either so he didn’t know why the guy was sniffing around Lily. As she went to leave and she was grabbed away James sprung into action his wand was out and he was three steps behind Sanger before his wand was in the side of the wizard’s throat as he heard the end of the conversation to Lily.
”You know I do worry about you Slytherins you would think that you had more cunning than this Sanger, mind due with there not even being a half blood in your family I think the in-breeding has finally gotten to your brain.” he said the normally ever present grin not gracing James’s charming features. “Now let Miss Evans go and I won’t follow this up officially an auror, after all we both know you wouldn’t want that.”

living is easy with eyes closed [/color] - - - - misunderstanding all you see - - - - [/font][/color][/center] ”Potter” Thomas mumbled through his clenched teeth, he let go of Lily’s wrist putting his hands up ”All I wanted was to go on a date with a pretty girl” he took a step back. Thomas had never been a brave one he usually played the dirty tricks like pulling a witch who didn’t have a wand into an ally or sneaking up on people. “Just keep in mind Potter there will come a day where you might have to meet some of my friends” he usually had his little possy of people and only would start trouble when he was way outnumbering the wizard he was messing with. He looked to Lily “I’ll see you soon miss Evans” the way he said he would be seeing her sent chills up the young girls spine.
Thomas turned and walked away clearly to afraid to start anything with James Potter… Lily took hold of her wrist, which slightly hurt from being held so hard. It killed her to say it but she was happy that James was there
”Thank you James….”
[/b] she looked down then back up at him, since she had graduated from Hogwarts she hadn’t seen much of the wizard… and even though she wouldn’t admit it that disappointed her. “Guess I shouldn’t really leave my wand at home”[/b] although going for a walk here she didn’t really think she would have needed it, Hogsmead is usually a really safe place. She was a little embarrassed that she needed to be rescued she took pride that she could usually take care of herself in situations just like this one. “You should go… you probably have better things to do”[/b] She didn’t really want him to go but he was probably bust with auror things… right? I mean after all these years he wouldn’t still have feelings for the girl that had always refused him right? tag who?! words howmany?! lyrics strawberry fields forever - the beatles credit a girl with kaleidoscope eyes @ caution 2.0 notes blahblahblah?!

James’s jaw was tight and he had a curse on the tip of his tongue, he got the feeling that this wasn’t a friendly chat and Lily didn’t look like she had wanted to be there either. Of course in a lot of situations he might have looked the other way a lovers tiff or something but when one of the people was Lily Evans he wasn’t about to believe that a pureblood wizard had pulled her into an alleyway just because of a small issue and he was going to make sure that the Slytherin thought twice before he did it again.
”Generally Sanger when they say no it means that they aren’t interested and that you leave them alone not to manhandle them and drag them into an alleyway.” he said. It was obvious the other man was a coward most people wouldn’t have tried to fight Lily with the wealth of spells that she knew and where she was brains James was just sheer magical power in that his spells where stronger than a lot of other people’s. When Sanger made the comment about bringing his friends one day James just rolled his eyes ”first you would need to find friends Sanger and also you might have friends but I have ministry authorized aurors as my friends I wonder who would win that round?”
As Sanger left James’s attention turned to Lily he was sure that there hadn’t been enough time for Sanger to hurt her but his eyes were roaming the parts of her body that his heart would allow him to look at, he wasn’t going to perv at her like a teenage boy who hadn’t seen a girl before but as far as he could see there wasn’t any lasting injury to Lily. It was fair to say that the 4 years that it had been since they had left Hogwarts had been good to her she looked even more good looking to him if that was even possible. ”It was no bother Lily, I wouldn’t be doing my job right if I didn’t keep the general public safe.” he commented “Besides us Gryffindors have to stick together.
When she said that she had left her wand at home that explained why Sanger had gotten the better of her. He knew that she wouldn’t be intimidated by such a poor wizard she had stood down all of the marauders at one time when they had been tormenting Snape and she had ripped into them all evenly so one less talented and shorter wizard was never going to scare the brilliant Lily. When she said that he could go he felt that he should have gone and played Quidditch yet part of him wanted to stay with her and that was what he was going to do.
“Nope got nowhere to be I just finished work.” he said with a grin ”Want to go and get a drink in the hog’s head or something? No attempts at a date I swear just a drink.”

living is easy with eyes closed [/color] - - - - misunderstanding all you see - - - - [/font][/color][/center] Lily looked James over, he had gotten even better looking…not that she would have admitted that to him in her school years… but now… they both weren’t children anymore. They were mature adults, although he seemed to do more with his life then she had. She had a waitressing job in the muggle world but that was about it. She still didn’t know what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. She felt a little upset that he said that he wouldn’t be doing his job if he hadn’t helped her… was that the only reason…his job? Not that he still liked her or anything… maybe that ship has sailed and Lily had missed out… after all a guy like James wouldn’t be single all the time would he? Lily herself was somewhat seeing a muggle guy named Alfred… they weren’t dating really but they were fooling around and spent a lot of time together. He lived next to her parents and was very nice… for a muggle boy. When she first started to see him she loved it but lately she had been thinking about James a lot. She pushed her hair behind her ear as she let her green eyes connect with his brown ones. He had such delicate yet strong eyes. She could feel her cheeks begin to go slightly warm knowing that they had probably changed slight rosy color… this was not the time to start blushing… especially around James Potter, if he was anything like his old self this would defiantly go to his head.
“Thank you for doing…uh your job”
[/b] that was all he was doing right? Saw her in trouble… he would have done it for anyone… it didn’t matter that it was her. “Yes us Gryffindors do have to stick together”[/b] running her fingers through her hair Lily felt like she was in school all over again with the butterflies jumping around to her stomach… was she really crushing on James? She had a perfectly good, kind muggle guy…why was she getting so gitty over an arrogant toe rag like James Potter? Lily gave a slight nod rather quickly after he asked if she wanted to grab a drink with him, normally Lily would have refused him in a matter of seconds not agree to him before he even finished his sentence. She had kept up with James in the last few years, after all he did make the paper a couple of times being an Aurror would do that to someone. “I guess that wouldn’t be so bad”[/b] she didn’t know if he had been prepared for her to say no but she wanted to spend some time with him even if she hated to admit it. tag who?! words howmany?! lyrics strawberry fields forever - the beatles credit a girl with kaleidoscope eyes @ caution 2.0 notes blahblahblah?!

James hadn’t planned on running into Lily or having to do something that would pretty much be like his school job not that he had a problem with helping her when she had needed him to yet he had just found the situation interesting. The time that she had needed someone to help her out a situation that she didn’t have her wand for which would be probably very few times in her life since she had gotten her wand he had happened to have been in the nearby area it was a very good and worthwhile coincidence if he was being honest. Of course he had cared for Lily had been in love with her for years but the fact that he had acted like a right prat for years had probably made it that there wasn’t any chance with her. Therefore he had decided that he wasn’t going to act like a little puppy with her anymore if she wanted to be with him then she would make that choice he wouldn’t be able to force her and he didn’t want to either if he was being honest.
He had matured a lot over the last couple of years if he was being honest and he did feel sorry for how he had treated Lily but at the same time he didn’t know how he would be able to make it up to her. After all he had treated her terribly due to the fact that she had been friends with Snape and he knew that he shouldn’t have done that now it obvious but the fact remained that he had done so and it wasn’t something that he could escape and had annoyed him a lot of the time. He had a temper he knew that and he couldn’t help it and he had expertly been played into confrontations when Lily had been around which probably didn’t paint him in the best light. It also didn’t help that both men had wanted to be involved with Lily therefore no matter what they did they where always going to be at war with each other over the wonderful woman.
He could tell that she was hesitant with what he had said he didn’t know if she didn’t trust him or not but he did hope that she would trust him if he was honest. He had not been planning on hurting her but with what had happened he got that she might have been worried after all it didn’t bare thinking about what would have happened if he hadn’t have turned up when he had done to Lily so the fact that James had been able to help her was something that he had been glad of. After all he did care about Lily’s safety more than others may have done. ”Think nothing of it.” he said “What brought that on anyway he wasn’t normally the type to actually act on something too much of a coward.”
James had to stop himself jumping for joy when Lily said that she would go for a drink with him if he was being honest. Granted it wasn’t a date but there was time that she didn’t even want to be in the same room as him so this certainly was an improvement. ”Great.” he said before offering an arm to her to take.
