6 April 1977, London
Lily is quite relieved when she looks out the train window and sees the outskirts of London.
Of course, now that she's reached London, she has to deal with her interview, but at least that's something to do. The problem with this trip is that there has been entirely too much thinking and entirely no doing of anything.
Now there will be plenty of doing things, starting with finding James, who is meeting her at Euston Station. She had mentioned, one afternoon at Hogwarts, that she wasn't actually sure how to get to Diagon Alley from the Muggle train station and did he know the closest Tube stop? And James had assured her that he would meet her at Euston Station and make sure she got to Diagon Alley safely and on time and not to worry about it at all.
The train rolls to a stop, and Lily picks up her handbag and makes her way with the jostling morning crowd out onto the platform.
All she has to do now is find James.
Or, more likely, wait for James to find her.
(He's showing an amazing talent for it, recently.)

"And then you could get knee-breeches and a really silly cravat.
"But I have to say, James, before you get too invested in all that ... I really think I might prefer the Potter charm to the LaFolle variety."

That just gets a wide grin from James very-much-a Potter.
"I am a little more comfortable with the Potter charm," James says. "Particularly as I don't think I'd be quite as convincing in a cravat and knee-breeches as I would be wearing ... well, this."
He gestures to his jeans, sneakers, and polo t-shirt.

"Guess we'll just have to stick with what we've already got."

— before his face breaks out into another grin.
