Lilly Evans was going to have the best summer ever!
...or so she thought...
She woke up as usual, got dressed brushed her teeth, had breakfast blah blah blah
"Lilly dear when are your friends arriving?" asked Peter Evans
Lilly looked up from her book to look at the clock on the wall which had been a present from her parents wedding
"In about 10 minutes dad" He nodded slightly, a small smile appearing as he watched his daughter adjust her position from being curled up on the purple sofa to a more comfortable position as she carried on reading.
Just as her book was getting to a good part an owl flew through the window landing on Lilly's shoulder, she hurriedly opened it
Lilly!
CRISIS!!! Potter Black and Lupin! My parents are going on holiday for the entire summer...with the potter's! Black lives there in the summer and Lupin is there as well! This means they are all staying around my house! Brie's here and my parents say you're allowed to come for the whole summer! They've already started to destroy valuable things Lil!! WE NEED YOU!
Cassy.
The bottom of the letter was a bit burnt...well that can't be good thought Lilly
"DAD! Cassy and Brie can't come! But I can stay round her house all the summer! Can I dad please! She says it's an emergency! They need me!!!"
She got on her knees and begged her dad, he just laughed and said of course you can dear. She hugged him tightly and gave him a kiss on the cheek before running up stairs to get her things, she yelled a quick goodbye to Petunia, gave her mum a kiss on the cheek and stepped into their new magic fireplace.
"Cassy's house!" Lilly yelled before being span rapidly in the fire
She was quite literally thrown out of the fire place, she stood up coughing from the dust and looked around, only one word came out of her mouth
"Wow"
Cassy's house was not a house, it was a mansion.
She stood, covered in soot and dust from head to toe in a living room bigger than her house.
Lilly frowned, things were quiet, too quiet.
Glancing around she saw trip wires surrounding her, nodding to herself she muttered
"yep, the marauders are here"
A loud reply made her jump
"YES WE ARE!"
The trip wires moved, hitting her feet, she fell quickly, the wind knocked right out of her.
She flipped over onto her back and saw three grinning faces above her
She coughed and tried to get up but she was so winded she couldn't move
Their faces soon dropped as 2 girls pushed past the three to kneel next to her
"What did they do to you Lilly!?" She heard Cassy say
Lilly tried to talk but only coughed more, trying and failing to draw breath into her lungs.
"Is she ok?" She heard James's voice over her, it was deeper than it was last time they met.
"She's got Asthma you idiots!" Cassy yelled
"Really?! Oh my god!" Brie started going through Lilly's bag, trying desperately to find her inhaler
"What's Asthma?" Sirius asked in a concerned voice
"It means it affects her breathing, her inhaler is something she has to breath from, there are miniscule pills in the inhaler which will help her breath, they can have what's called attacks when they can't breath, the dust and soot didn't help and then we shocked her, making her breath it in quicker" Remus explained as fast as he could
"So this is our fault?" James yelled
"YES IT IS BLOODY WELL YOU'RE FAULT!" Cassy screamed as she tried to help Brie find Lilly's inhaler
"Got it!" Brie said, they pulled Lilly into a sitting position and the boys watched as they gave her the inhaler and she breathed in as best she could through it.
After a few minutes Lilly was feeling better, they helped her up and put her on the sofa, Cassy got her a drink and her breath went back to normal.
We're sorry Evans, didn't kno-" James started to say
His apology was cut off by Lilly standing and screaming in his face
"I COULD HAVE DIED! ASTHMA ATTACKS CAN KILL YOU! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR, I HADN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU!"
James fell back into his seat and the boys looked down, ashamed.
"Why, boys tell me why…?" Lilly said, a lot calmer than before.
"It's what we do, we're…well we're 'us'. We didn't know tripping you up while you were covered in dust could have killed you." Sirius piped up. Lilly's look softened
"I'm sorry for yelling, that's actually the first time my asthma has been a problem, sometimes I get a little bit out of breath, that was my first attack. I haven't been using my inhaler lately- I keep forgetting, that's mainly what caused the attack."
"Ok then now we've established that it wasn't our fault we can go back to attacking you girls for the whole summer?" James said with a grin, Lilly threw him a glare
"We will not take this summer lying down boys, you've just announced a war, and we accept" Brie stood and said forcefully.
"So would you rather we did 'things' standing up then Brie?" Sirius said, wiggling his eyebrows at the word things.
Brie blushed and glared at him, the three boys just sat and grinned at the girls
"This is war boys, and this is not a war you will win" Cassy stood and said, her half rimmed glasses falling down her nose slightly.
Lilly then stood as well so that the three girls looked more serious, they looked at each other and smirked, each turned exactly as the other two did (making them look even scarier, as it gave the impression they could read eachother's minds) and they walked out, heads held high and smiling to themselves slightly.
The boys stared after them, mouths slightly open in shock
"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for you to convince your parent's to leave us here James, they're scaring me. And you promised we'd be able to get together with them. You know how much I like Cassy!" Remus said with a sigh
"And that I like Brie! I cannot believe we thought this would work!" Sirius punched the pillow next to him.
"Guy's all we have to do is make this interesting. We'll make this a proper war, with stakes, we'll get the girl's, trust me" James explained
"Huh?" Sirius said
James sighed "We say if we win we get you three or something like that, they can't beat us at a war! So we win and they are ours"
The three boys laughed loudly, very proud of themselves for thinking of this.
Cassy, Brie and Lilly stood outside the door. Eavesdropping.
With a look towards each other all three whispered 'group meeting now!' and sprinted into Cassy's bedroom.
