Of course he knew that he couldn't disagree with Lily, not really. Though he had plenty of times. They always found a way to get on the same page, though, even if he was lying to agree with her so she didn't smack him across the face. Though, there was often some kind of physical violence going on. He didn't mind it, though. He enjoyed debating with her whenever something came up. She suggested that he only needed to use one arm to wrap around her legs and hold on tight. He rolled his eyes, "yeah, yeah, okay," he agreed. Adrian was a daredevil too, and he was sure they would have plenty of unsafe adventures while she was visiting him here. May as well agree to them instead of having her go off and do dangerous things on her own. She added that Bradd Pit didn't have anything on him and he laughed along with her. "Awe, that's sweet. He'd be useful though - then he can hold me up and drive so I can get a turn," he smirked. There was no way he'd let Lily anywhere near the wheel of this car. Well, at least not where other cars were around. lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 It sounded to her like Adrian was agreeing to her plan, and that made it that much harder to sit still in her seat. The prospect of being able to stand up fully in a moving car was adrenaline inducing just from thinking about it. Her mum probably would have killed her if she had ever even entertained the idea of asking to do that back home. There had been plenty of stern conversations over the years about her broomstick acrobatics in the back garden in which more than once she attempted dead drop nose dives from the highest point on their house’s roof. Lily always thought that was silly because she was allowed to play Quidditch at school, and that was hundreds of feet in the air. The roof barely scraped that height, and a car was even closer to the ground. This was like riding a bike downhill, and definitely less dangerous because Adrian would be holding on to her.
“You don’t trust me driving?” she asked, deciding not to turn it into a drawn out whine because she already knew the answer. “I’d drive slowly. Promise. We could even take it out of the city to do it,” Lily pleaded, placing one hand on his shoulder and the other on hand controlling the shifting. “Pleeeease? I’m decent at repair charms now too, so if I crash it I can definitely fix it.” Maybe. She fixed a glass she had accidentally shattered a few days earlier while dancing around the kitchen, but it took a solid ten minutes to do so because she had forgotten where she had placed her wand and then couldn’t recall which repair spell worked the best on glass. Eventually it came to her though. A car probably wasn’t much harder than putting a million tiny pieces of glass back together either.

She suggested that he didn't trust her driving and he nodded over and over, keeping his eyes straight ahead on the road. She said she'd drive slowly, out of the city, and he switched from nodding his head to shaking his head. Then she put her hand on his shoulder and on the shift and he glance at her to catch a look of those begging eyes - they were so convincing and had gotten him to do many, many things before. At the mention of 'crashing' the spell was broken and he whacked her hand off the gear shift. "Nope, nope, nope. If we're going to risk dying I'll be the one doing it," his eyes met the road up ahead again. He paused for a moment, then spoke again, "maybe out away from the freeway. Where no one else is," he finally admitted, shrugging as if this wasn't exciting information. "We can drive around, take turns, and when we get bored we'll just put the seats down and make out," he was entirely joking, but he said it in in a flat, dry tone to see how she'd react. What? It was fun to mess with her. And, well, if they did end up doing that it wasn't like it was the worst thing. Though, that'd bring up a lot of old emotions from a year ago and things that had happened between them and this trip was supposed to be about fun. Eh, what's the hurt in joking? lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 Lily was prepared to really lay the pressure down on him when he said that he was going to be the only one killing them if it came to it. She preferred taking matters into her own hands, so Adrian crashing the car wouldn’t be her first choice of death. Halfway through a pout that he was sure to not look at since he was paying attention to the road, Lily changed gears once he said it was a possibility if they got away from everyone else. If she could jump out of her seat without the seatbelt pulling her back into place, she would have, that was how excited she was. Driving on the wrong but right side of the road seemed like it was awesome! It would be the only time she could do it without her mum screaming at her for going at oncoming traffic. That hadn’t happened yet, but it definitely would at some point. It was inevitable.
“Oh Adrian,” she started in, tightening her grip on both his hand and shoulder, “Make out sessions are so sixth year.” She knew he was probably joking, but there was a little part of her that hoped he wasn’t. Just a little bit. Leaning in as close as she could before the seatbelt started to hold her in place, she blew gently at his ear, trying to get a reaction out of him. “If we’re putting the seats all the way down then there’s no reason to keep it child-friendly, is there?” Lily held herself in place for a few more seconds before laughing at her own seriousness, finally letting go of him and returning back to her seat. “But that’s only if we get bored, right? I don’t think you’ll bore me that much on this trip.”

She tightened her grip on him as she said his name, which kind of sent a shudder up his spine. For a second he thought she was going to threaten his life or something, but instead she said that 'make out sessions were so sixth year'. She started to lean toward him and he smirked as the seat belt caught her. But her blowing in his ear broke up and he let out a small chuckle. She suggested that if the seats go all the way down then there was no reason to keep it child friendly. He raised an eyebrow, turning toward her for a split second before she laughed too. But she reminded him that was only if they got bored, and that she didn't think he'd bore her that much. He frowned a little, shook his head, and turned back toward the road in front of him. "Yes, true. There are plenty of great things to do here that we won't have to resort to that. First things first... there it is," he nodded toward the Hollywood sign on the hills to the left of the car, just like he'd promised. lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 “Well don’t sound so disappointed!” she exclaimed as the seat belt kept her from lunging toward him again. She hated these blasted things. That was one of the reasons why brooms were so much better; efficient, faster, and no seatbelts. Plus she was allowed to ride a broom. “I can be boring you know. I just have to be like Eddy Windsor. He’s sort of boring once you get past the royalty thing. I played around with him once last year, after you left, and he had no idea what was going on,” Lily rolled her eyes. It had been fun at the time, teasing the poor Slytherin boy, but she felt bad after a while of doing it. "Good kisser though,” she said offhandedly, propping her chin on the window sill as she turned to gaze out it. California had so much…sun. She couldn’t recall the last time she seen clear blue skies like this. Maybe only when visiting Shell Cottage when she was younger.
Adrian pointed out that the sign was off to the other side of the car and she tilted her head around so she could see it. And there it was! Nestled up in the hills were the giant white letters spelling out Hollywood. After seeing it on the internet and in movies, it was sort of strange seeing it in person. “Can we get closer?” she asked, not entirely satisfied with the distance they were currently at. Sure, getting closer would mean not being able to see the whole thing at the same time, but she wanted scale! To see the letters in their giant, Hollywood glory!

She told him not to be so disappointed, trying to lunge toward him He couldn't help the grin that burst across his face as she couldn't reach him due to the belt. She said she could be boring, like 'Eddy' Windsor, and Adrian shook his head. He had always liked Edmund. The guy was good to play Quidditch with and was pretty smar- wait, what? She said that he was a good kisser, looking out the window, and Adrians knuckles turned white on the steering wheel due to how tightly he was holding on. He also started to speed up, which he didn't notice right way. Since he was already going fast, though, he didn't slow down. It wasn't like he expected Lily not to kiss other guys. Heck, he had kissed that Bianca girl at Ilvermorny... but it was still weird hearing her say it. Kind of annoying, too. He wanted to say something, but he wasn't entirely sure what. Instead he was silent, which was very uncharacteristic of him when it came to Lily. As they passed the sign, she asked if they could get closer. He nodded, "yeah," and changed lanes in order to head toward the appropriate exit. It wouldn't be too far. lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 “He was the one that did it though. I was messing around trying to tease him, because y’know how those royals can be, all stiff and uptight, and then bam! He decided the best way to get rid of me was by smacking his lips on mine,” Lily continued on, still staring out the window at the scenery as she did so. Being a flirt and a tease was Lily Potter 101, and Eddy took it up a notch in order to escape her clutches. She had to give the Slytherin props for that. It was a very original idea and caught her off guard. “I’ve had better though. There was this one guy, total hottie, but he had to leave school and I haven’t seen him since.” She let out a dramatic sigh, turning back to look at Adrian as he silently drove towards their destination.
He agreed that they could get closer to the sign but kept the answer brief. She knew the silence had to be because of what she just said about Eddy. A few lane changes and exit later, Lily could see the sign starting to get closer, though it was still quite a ways off. She couldn’t take the silence any longer, so decided to pick up from where she had left off. “I think you’d like the one that left though. Great guy. Cares about his friends and family a lot even though he gets the short end of it all the time. Reaaaally cute girlfriend too. Makes me sort of jealous.”

She went on to explain that Edmund was the one who kissed HER. His mind flashed back to playing Quidditch with Edmund for fun the first week of school this year and had a very distinct fantasy of throwing the Quaffle right at his head. Woaaah, he literally shook his head to loosen up. The dude didn't deserve that just because Lily was messing with him. Hell, anyone dealing with Lily in that situation wouldn't have much of a choice but to do something drastic. It wasn't the guys fault... Adrian couldn't help but wonder how long he had been gone when that happened, though. He was so lost in his thoughts that he barely registered the first time she talked about the guy who had gone away. When she brought it up again, he paid closer attention. Who the heck was she talking about? He racked his brain for someone they knew who had left who has a girlfriend. One of the graduates? There were hundreds. "You, jealous? I find that hard to believe. I thought I had the Monopoly on jealousy," he was trying to make a joke but he did not sound amused. They were getting closer to the sign though, and he'd be able to pull over soon. "Who's the guy," he asked flatly. lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 “Yeah. I’m the pretty jealous type,” she flicked her hair around to make a show of it. “Why do you think I wanted to become a werewolf? It looked cool, I was jealous that you and Jamie looked cool as them, so I wanted to be one too,” Lily explained. There was more to her wanting to be one though, obviously, but it was a sort of jealousy at the end of the day. The problem here, though, was that Adrian didn’t catch on to what she was trying to say to him. Maybe her form wasn’t exactly perfect and she sort of blinded him with rage with the Ed comments, but it was the second part that mattered the most. “You know what? You might know him!” Lily tapped her index finger against her lips, as if she had just discovered some great clue to the puzzle she was laying out in front of him. “He’s in our year, so there’s no way you don’t know him. Gryffindor as well.”
There was no way he wouldn’t put two and two together and get it this time, right? Spelling it out when she could make a game of it would only be fun if he came to the conclusion on his own. Helping him cheat his way there didn’t sound cool at all. “Like I said, you don’t have to worry about him. He has a girlfriend already. We kissed before they were ever a thing. All the way back in…fifth year I think? I can’t remember. It’s been so long since that happened.”

She talked about how jelousy is what had made her want to be a werewolf in the first place and he smiled a little at that. He knew she had other reasons, of course he knew. His mind flash backed to all the good times they'd had as wolves. They had so much energy of would probably be hard for other wolves to even keep up. It was a bummer the full moon happened while they were in school this month and not here in America. "I guess that's true," he agreed with a nod, feeling a tad better at the mention of their history together. But then she was talking about the random dude again, saying he was a Gryffindor in their year. Wait was she... Was she messing with him!? She talked about the guy having a girlfriend so he didn't have to worry, and how they (he and her) had kissed before the mystery couple started dating. He flashed back to that kiss in his mind, and to last Christmas... His brow furrowed as he tried to figure how what kind of crack she was on. He pulled over at the nearest lookout point, not quite where she wanted to be in reference to the sign yet. He slowly and systematically put the car in park, turned the keys to stop the ignition, then turned his torso to look over at her. "Are you trying to say I have a girlfriend?"lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 Heck yeah it was true! She was the super jealous type. Like going full on werewolf on any lady trying to get close to him if they really tried to. But not really since that would be a one way ticket to Azkaban. Lily didn’t have any plans to end up there for a few years still. She had better things to do first.
Eventually Adrian pulled the car to a place that was fairly close to the Hollywood sign. Seeing it this close was insane! And she had been right to imagine that the scale up close would be way cooler than getting the view from a distance. They were equally impressive, obviously, but the closer the better. If only she was allowed to climb up it, because that would be the best. The trees in the forbidden forest didn’t even compare to the size of the letters, and that was saying something because she was pretty sure they were magical trees.
As she stared up at the letters, Adrian finally asked the question that she had been painstakingly waiting for him to ask. “Yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying this whole time, you idiot,” she said, a huge grin plastered on her face as she looked back down at him. Quickly, Lily unclipped her seatbelt and reached over to Adrian, putting her hands on both sides of his face as she leaned in to kiss him.

He didn't even have time to ask who this girlfriend was before she was grinning and going toward him. He had somehow been able to anticipate that and unclipped his own seatbelt in time to wrap his arms around her as best he could with all the annoying car parts in the way. It was broad daylight, so sadly they couldn't start snogging all afternoon or anything. Still, he didn't really need that right now anyway. Just knowing she hadn't given up on him as a romantic interest was enough. He smiled after a moment of their lips being pressed together, planted another small kiss on her, then pulled away enough to speak. "Am I a complete moron for not initiating this sooner? I just didn't know if you..." he stopped, shaking his head a little, "I love you," he laughed, kissing her again before starting to move away. "You're such a dork, messing with me like that," he added, eyes narrowed now. Of course his aura was entirely beaming. No matter what kind of bad year they'd had, why did he think things would have changed between them? He'd apologized about a million times in one way or another, they were best friends again, and now she was visiting him in a foreign country again for goodness sakes. Whatever his doubts were, he realized they were incredibly stupid. lily luna potter

@adrian 12.27.2024 Lily couldn’t help herself from laughing during the exchange. Even though she didn’t want him to pull away, it had to happen at some point, at least so they could breath for a second or two. Adrian asked if he was a moron for not going for it sooner, and she shook her head. “I know,” she responded to both, biting down on her lower lip, letting everything that just happened sink in a little more. If she could take a snapshot of this memory to keep forever, she would. Surely there was a way to do that. “In my defense, I wanted to get you as worked up as possible before going in for the kill. I think it worked.” She let out another laugh, letting her head dip forward so that her forehead was pressed against his. Staying like this was nice – she had longed for it since she saw Adrian back at Hogwarts but was unsure if it would be fine to go back to the way things were. The trip was the perfect excuse to get both of them out of their comfort zones and give it another go, even though she was positive that it would have worked out no matter where they were.
“I’d love to do this all day, but do you think we could maybe go get something to eat first? All this kissing made me hungry…” She grinned up at him, popping one more kiss on his cheek before leaning back into her seat and buckling her seatbelt again. “Who knew being out of practice would make you starved? Merlin…” Lily added as she patted her growling stomach. The long flight and anxious drive to the Hollywood sign had gotten to her at last. It had been a long time coming, but everything finally felt right again.

Her laughter just made it more clear to him that he didn't need to worry about anything. She said "I know", and he felt his amused laughter die down to a little more of a serious nod. He was just glad she was there with him, telling him she understood how he felt. She said that she wanted to get him worked up before 'going in for the kill' and he narrowed his eyes at her. "That is just plain cruel, Lily. I have no idea how your family dealt with you all these years..." he pressed his forehead against hers too, chuckling a little under his breath as to not laugh right in her face. He sighed contentedly, moving one of his hands to rest on the side of her knee. He kind of hoped that they could just live in this car for... maybe forever, or something. But she had to break them out of it by saying she was hungry. She kissed his cheek and moved back to buckle her belt. He let out a low growl in mock annoyance before leaning back to buckle his own. "Yeah, yeah, you have a point. We're going to have to eat every two hours or so if you keep working me up like that," he joked in return, using the same words she had used a moment ago. He clicked his seat belt into place and looked over at her one more time, smiling, before heading back onto the road. lily luna potter (uhhhh should we do some more american adventures or be good with it here? you decide )
