A dream come true?

Saturday late afternoon.
It was quiet in the neighborhood, you could only hear music from one room.
Lily Evans was lying on her bed reading with the music turned up loud. Romantic music. Before her she had a novel, a romance novel. Her heart beat faster. She kept thinking of him. His shiny brown eyes, his black hair that did what they wanted, his nose, his ears; everything about him was wonderful. Everything but one exception, and that exception weighed extremely heavily. His behavior: childish, selfish, boastful, macho-like, just maddening.
Why did he always have to act like that? He could have anyone he wanted, any, even Lily. And apparently Lily was the only one he wanted, but he showed that in a really strange way.
Since when did you address the person you loved by last name? Didn't he know that she had a first name?Lily shook her head violently. // Oh what ... // she thought to herself.
He would never really love her, he only loved himself. But he wanted Lily, he apparently really wanted her. But why? To show off? Yes, probably, he would have managed to seduce Lily Evans, what no one else had done before. She was a closed book, not just letting anyone know all of her feelings. She hadn't even confessed her feelings towards him to her best friend Christine. She would think Lily was crazy, of course. She has been rejecting him for more than six years, but he has not given up for more than six years either.
What if he really loved her?
Suddenly the door was thrown open. "Tell me, can't you turn it down, you little freak?" Her sister Petunia snapped at her. Lily looked up. "Yeah ...", she mumbled annoyed and turned the music down. She was used to addressing her like that, but she didn't feel like arguing with her sister, especially because she already hated her.Lily put her book aside and rolled over on her back. Again her thoughts turned to him, James Potter. And again she was abruptly torn from their crushes.
"Lily, please come, you have a visitor!", Her mother called from below.
"Huh?" Lily got up and checked her watch. No, she wasn't expecting anyone anymore, so who could it be? Shrugging her shoulders, she made her way downstairs, but would have loved to turn around as soon as she saw who was waiting for her. What on earth was THAT doing here? But actually it was exactly what she wanted, James Potter was standing in her house, in the living room next to her mother and beaming at her. No, she wasn't going to admit that, definitely not, she had to make him believe that she hated him. // He just wants to seduce me and then add me to his trophy collection ... //
Lily gave a pained smile, not wanting to make a scene in front of her parents. "Po ... Uh, James, what are you doing here?"
James beamed at her. "I just wanted to come and see you, I missed you!"Her mother gave her some telling looks and she couldn't help but grimace. "Oh nice....."
She grabbed her cardigan, pulled it on, and dragged James out of the house. Immediately after closing the door, she gave him a cold look.
"What in the world are you thinking of just showing up at my house?" She hissed at him softly, because her parents shouldn't have noticed.
James looked offended. "I thought you'd be happy, I drove Muggle vehicles all the way from home, paid with Muggle money, put up with all these hardships and then comes such a reaction from you ..."
He looked really hit, Lily had to admit. // He's playing theater, of course .... //
Now she couldn't go soft, no way. James continued: "Actually, I wanted to come over earlier and have a nice day with you, but I got lost several times and somehow couldn't find the right way anyway.Well, since you are apparently not happy anyway, I can go home again. If I go now, I might arrive early in the morning ... "
He looked down sadly. Lily swallowed, she couldn't see him like that, that hurt her. He shouldn't be sad, and certainly not should he go home alone at night. Sure he was old enough to fight back, but what if he did something? (Note: what is the poor xD thinking) She had a lump in her throat when she started to speak, it sounded choked, choked, tormented, but in no way as if she didn't mean it seriously or had to force herself to do it .. "James ... I could ask my parents if you can spend the night with us ..." she suggested. James looked at her, his eyes glittering.
// He's so cute ..... // She shook her head slightly, had to control herself. “But you sleep in the guest room!” James smiled his lovely, stunning smile."Anything you want!" He breathed.
Lily eyed him suspiciously, but then led him back into the house. Her parents were sitting on the sofa. "Mum, Dad, I want to introduce you to James Potter, he's a school friend ..."
Her parents gave each other a few telling looks, then her father stood up and shook hands with James. “Nice to meet you!” Her mum had also got up and was now shaking hands with him. "It's a pleasure for me too!", She nodded with a smile.
James beamed. "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Evans!"
Lily spoke up again. "Can James stay with us today, he has a long way home ..."
Her mum nodded. "Of course. It's good that your bed can be folded out!", She grinned.
Lily shook her head violently when she noticed the renewed twinkle in James' eyes. "No, I sleep alone in my bed, James can sleep in the guest room!" She decided.
Glances went back and forth between her parents again."We're sorry Lily, but while you were gone, a lot of things have accumulated that are now in the guest room. Nobody can sleep there ...", her dad announced. “So your boyfriend will have to sleep with you!” Lily's mouth stayed open, but her heart was beating faster. // A night with him in a room // But she couldn't admit that. "Then he sleeps on the floor!" She decided. Now James interfered: "For you, I would even sleep on a board of nails!"
Lily sighed: "Well, come with me then ..."
She led him into her room. Only when she opened the door did she realize that her romance novel was still on the bed and that her sappy music was still playing. “Wait here!” She wanted to disappear into her room, but James had already noticed the two things. "I didn't even know that you were into something like that ..." he said slowly. Lily swallowed. // An excuse, very quickly .... //
"It's not mine, my sister was here ..." she lied, but not particularly well.A slight grin appeared on James' face. // I don't even want to know what he thinks ... //
"But you have a nice room, I would not have expected it any other way from you!"
A comfortable bed was under the window, which was wide open, across from a large desk that was full of books and rolls of parchment. Next to it was the wardrobe and on the other two walls there were shelves filled with cute kitsch, even a small sofa. "Tell me, do I have to sleep on the floor or can I sleep there too?" He pointed to the sofa. Lily had turned off the music in the meantime and hid the novel under the bed, where all the romance novels that she read when she thought of James were. And now he was standing here in her room and would even spend the night here.
"Do what you want!"
Lily sat down on her bed and looked at him in silence.
