More Trouble. Changing Homes. New But Not New Neighbors.

"Nothing!" James realized what he said, and took back what he said immediately. "Nothing, just Nothing..."

"What potion, James?" Lily started to make fun of him. "I did make a potion, but you weren't there, only Peter and Sirius."

"Did you just call me James, Evans?" James retaliated, his eyes closing.

"No, I didn't." Lily told him, "I mean don't get used to it!"

"Okay…" James's eyes were almost closed. "I won't...

His head tilted to the other side and the blanket fell from his shoulders. Lily smiled, she took the blanket from the floor and was about to throw it over his head when someone said,

"I knew it!"

Mary was standing on the stairs as she came down.

"Oh, Crap!" Lily muttered as they heard James snore. "It's not what you think, Mary!"

"So we are going home!" James was standing over the bedside, and stuffing his stuff into a trunk. "Come on, Padfoot!"

"You are so excited," Sirius thumped him on the back.

"Yes! I mean you guys are coming to stay over, turning seventeen is a big deal, plus you just moved in," James was very excited, moving around the dorm room. "I am free, you know, from all the girlfriend drama."

"Yes, our big boy is turning seventeen this summer!" Remus slapped him on the back.

"So, you are coming with me," James pointed to Sirius, "And the two of you, in two weeks, alright!" Remus and Peter nodded their heads.

He took out many things from the drawers and just dumped them into his trunk.

"So...Jamsey!" Sirius stood beside him, a snickering smile on his face. "What happened between you and Lily?"

"Nothing!"

"Really?" Remus snorted. "Then why is there a cat fight outside, Mary and Lily?"

"Why?"

"For what I heard you and Lily were outside in the common room last night!"

"Yes, we were," James sat on the side of the bed, "But she was trying to ask me something, but I was sneezing so much, so she gave me a potion."

"So that was it?" Sirius looked at him disbelievingly. "So why is Mary being crazy?"

"I don't know," James ran his hand through his hair. "She gave me a sleeping potion, and then I didn't know, I was sleeping,"

"Then I should conclude, Mary is crazy!" Sirius said in a matter of fact tone.

Remus pushed his head with a pillow.

"Let's go!"

The Marauders dragged their trunks out, and went downstairs. James came downstairs, when it was almost empty. For Alice, Marlene, Lily and Mary stood together. Apparently Mary wasn't mad at Lily anymore. But she clearly hated James now. He found that out, when Mary gave him a loathing look.

"Yikes!" Sirius said out loud.

James jabbed his elbow in Sirius's chest.

"You should ask Lily what happened?" Remus told him.

"And get more of these!" He pointed a finger at Mary's face, who still displayed an angry look.

"Right, Maybe you can ask her when she's alone!" Peter piped up.

"Wormtail's right."

"Let's go!" James stepped outside.

James and Sirius stood in front of Godric's Hollow, with their trunks. Mr and Mrs Potter stood in front of the doorway, with a lot of luggage around.

"Mom, Dad," James asked as Mrs. Potter hugged him, "What's happening?"

"We are leaving!"

"Why?"

"The Death Eaters are after us!" Mr Potter told him, "We are moving into a muggle town."

"Why didn't you tell me?" James ran his hand through his hair.

"We didn't have the time, we were arranging some places to stay." Mrs Potter explained.

"So where are we going?" James asked his mother.

"You'll see." She held out her hand.

Mr Potter held Sirius's hands, and Mrs. Potter held James's. And they disapparated.

"So we are staying here?"

All of them stood in front of a house, right next to it was a girl and a boy with a funny mustache standing. As soon as they saw The Potters, they quickly disappeared.

"Oh my God!" Mrs. Potter said, "Muggles!"

Mr Potter cast a spell from his wand,

"Freaks!"

"You know them, Lily?"

"More like her?"

"Magic!"

"Don't say that in front of Vernon! They heard a girl say. "It's abnormal."

"I wonder what kind of people live here!" Mrs Potter said, "You said they were magical people." She turned to her husband.

"I heard they had a daughter who was magic."

"What's her name, Mr Potter?" Sirius asked him.

"Lily, Lily Evans."

"So Prongsie, Evans becomes your neighbor after you finally let go." Sirius snickered. "What are the odds of that?"

"Come on, Boys, let's get this all inside!" Mrs Potter pointed to the luggage, they didn't want to use any more magic.

James and Sirius spent the next few days getting settled in, Lily was pleased to have company from Hogwarts. She was not allowed to visit because of the chaos that was falling upon the Wizarding World. She was not allowed company because Petunia had Vernon over for dinner every now and then. Petunia wanted Vernon to get to know her family before the wedding.

"Hey, Want to show us around town?" Sirius poked his nose through the garden where Lily was sitting with a book.

"Sure, better than hanging out with Tuney and that Dursley," She put her book on the swing and got up. "Is James going to come?" She asked hopefully.

"Is Evans falling for my boy, now that he is dating other girls?" Sirius asked dangerously.

"Of course not," She shrugged her shoulders and looked the other way. "I was just asking?"

"Yes, he's coming!" Sirius pointed to the shed, "He's polishing his broom."

They spent the whole day, Lily showed them around the town she knew so well. James and Sirius were stunned to see how good the muggle inventions were. Lily laughed at their confusion and admiration.

"Thank you!"

"For what?" Lily looked surprised. James had never said 'thank you' to her ever.

"For showing us around," He waved, and stepped inside his home.

Lily sighed. "Why couldn't he be like this when he asked me out?' She thought as she went back to her home.
