Date: 23. April 2002
Characters: James Potter & Lily Evans
Setting: Lily's house in Settlement 1
Content: TBD
Status: Open :: Private

Subtlety was not James' strong-suit, and so when he'd seen Lily's posting, he headed over to Shacklebolt's and ordered two of the dinner specials, he headed toward her house and wrote her back. Now he stood in her front yard, carrying two bags of food, and pocketing his datapad before letting himself in as she'd told him to. She really should be locking her door, especially with no magic to defend herself with, but he'd tell her that over dinner. No need to look too protective, right?

"Lil?" He called in to the house, automatically moving to the kitchen and setting the food down. He pulled down two plates and started putting out the food, hoping she liked the assortment he'd gotten. He should know what she liked, right? He shook his head and called again, "Lil, dinner is served," and searched through her ice box for sparkling water.

"Well then, remind me never to shag a neighbor," he concluded, grinning goofily. Sobering a bit he said, "It always was. Everyone was always welcome with my mum and dad, did we keep that going? At Godric's Hollow or anywhere else?"

Where this intense curiosity had come from, he had no idea, but James was suddenly so happy to be hearing these stories and from Lily of all sources.

Lily shook her head, "We really couldn't in Godric's Hollow. Once Sirius became our Secret-Keeper, it was really hard. Remus came around twice to visit. Sirius couldn't come around all that often either. We knew our neighbors, but kept our distance." That was such a hard way of living. They could go out a little, but cabin fever built up quickly.
