Rain trickled down James's window; it had been raining for a week now. Nothing could make bring his spirits up. The window had gotten foggy so he started to draw pictures onto it. As his finger rubbed over the cold glass water gathered around his finger and rolled down the glass. "Lily," he whispered as he wrote her name onto the glass. "LILY," he yelled as he saw her walking up his driveway, he ran out the door forgetting it was raining. She had been wearing a white shirt that clung to her body and a black skirt that showed every curve on her body. He ran up to her and wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm and protected by the rain. She didn't seem like she was in a hurry to get inside, her hair was in strands of wet curls. "What are you doing here," he asked gently?
He wasn't sure if she was crying or not because her face was wet from the rain. "Do you want to go inside Lily," he asked in a whisper? She just started walking to the door so James followed; he kept a hold of her as they walked to the door. When they got to the door James let go of her and opened the door, when she stepped in water dripped down onto the floor. "Wait here, ill get you some dry clothes to wear," he offered. He went to his room and grabbed some jeans and a sweater, and walked back out to the hallway where Lily was. "Here, let me dry you off," he said softly as he handed her the clothes and took out his Wand. With a flick she was dry except her clothes. She stood there staring at every movement James was making; she slowly lifted her arms for him to take off her shirt. He hesitated and slowly pulled the bottom of her shirt up revealing her pale skin. Then he pulled the wet shirt over her head he looked over her body, she was wearing a pink lacy bra. James took the sweater from the floor were Lily had placed them and put it over her. It was huge, compared to her small frame James was much bigger then she was. She reached down and slid off her skirt and James bent over to put the jeans on her. She put one foot in and then the other as he stood up he pulled the jeans over to around her waist were he found pink knickers. James then looked at Lily and smirked at how his jeans looked like they were going to fall off if she started to walk. James reached for her hand and led her into the living room and they sat on the couch. Lily curled up around James and placed her head on him. James put his arms around her and looked at her beautiful hair. Lily looked up at him and tears begun to run down her face.
"I can't stand it anymore," she whispered as James just sat there and listened, "My family is driving me crazy, me being the only witch in the family, it's just horrible," she continued. James lifted his hand and rubbed his hand over her cheek whipping her tears away. She stared into James eyes and begun to speak again, "I just miss everyone at Hogwarts," her voice lowered, "but I've missed you most of all."
"I've missed you too Lily," James spoke up. He leaned down and kissed her cheek softly.
"Oh James," she said softly as her gaze dropped. She leaned her head against him again. He loved the feeling of having her around him; he had always liked her for as long as he could remember but he hadn't been able to tell her. He closed his eyes and he faded off to sleep.

Lily woke up before James in the morning and decided to try and get up without waking him up. She carefully lifted his hand off of her and got up. James's eyes opened slowly as he felt that she had gotten up. "Lily," he asked sleepily. Lily turned around to find James looking at her.
"I'm sorry I didn't intend on waking you up," she sighed.
"Oh its okay, I'm awake now," James said optimistically, "Would you like something to eat?"
"Sure," Lily said as James got up. He headed into the kitchen and motioned for Lily to follow and she did. James got out a pan and some eggs and Lily sat down on a chair. "So how'd you sleep," James asked while flipping an egg over.
"I slept ok," she said, "How about you?"
"Sleeping with you in my arms… hum… I couldn't have slept better," he smiled.
Lily smiled at the thought of this. "Good morning sweetheart," James's mom said, "Who's your friend?"
"This is Lily mom she came her last night," James said shortly.
"Oh, how long will you be staying with us," she asked sweetly.
"I'm not sure," Lily said quietly she didn't want to seem rude.
"You can stay as long as you like dear," James's mom replied as she got some plates out. "James let me handle breakfast you and your friend can go get ready," she offered. James and Lily went to his room and he handed her, her clothes from last night they had dried over night. "The bathrooms down the hall if you want to change there," James said. Lily took her clothes and found the bathroom she changed quickly and brushed her hair with a brush she found on the counter. When she came out she headed back to James's room and found him wearing a t-shirt and some jeans. He smiled at her when she walked in.
"So what do you want to do today," James asked?
"Whatever you want," she replied.
"Well Sirius was planning on coming over but I can tell him not to bother," James said.
"No, no I don't want to interrupt your plans," she said quickly. They sat there quietly staring at everywhere but each other until James's mom broke the silence, "James, Lily Breakfast." Lily smiled in relief and got up with James and they walked into the kitchen again. James's mom handed out a plate to James and Lily and sat one at one end of the table and she grabbed one for herself. "Dad's home," James asked.
"Yes he got home late last night," she said, "he'll be down for breakfast in a few minuets."
James looked over at Lily and she was staring at him to she smiled and blushed, this made him smile.
"Go ahead you two, eat up," his mom said. James grabbed a fork and started to eat, but Lily just sat there.
