Chapter 1: Trouble

Summer holidays were going great for Lily! It was now the first week of August and Lily found herself in front of a gigantic wizarding resort in America. She just arrived in Florida with Britney and her family.

"YEAH, we're finally here! It's so hot, and no rain!" exclaimed Britney as they entered the huge wizarding hotel, which seemed to be very expensive, which didn't seem to be a problem to Britney's parents at all. Lily didn't know if this hotel was hidden like Hogwarts, but it must have been. They approached the front desk.

"Welcome to Burkhart's Wizarding Hotel! Your name, sir?" inquired the man in a muggle suit with an American accent.

"Turner, Brad," said Mr. Turner.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Turner right this way." He pointed over in the direction of where five bell men stood, they each took they're belonging's and took them to their rooms. They're room was on the first floor, the bell boy's stopped outside two rooms.

"You three girls," Mr. Turner indicated Britney, Lily and Haylie. "You get this one," on the front of the door it said 'Large Suite', "your mother and I are in the one across the hall," he pointed to the door across the hall that said 'Honeymoon Suite', "knock if you need us!" He handed the three girls each a key, they opened the door. The room was HUGE!

There were four doors, in a large room with large windows that showed the beach. "Wow this is huge," whispered Lily.

"Of course it is Lillian! I get this room!" Britney answered as she opened one of the doors located at the other side of the huge room. "Oh, I've got the biggest room!"

"No fair!" exclaimed Haylie as she ran to her sister's room and tried to pull her out, but with no luck. Lily let the two sisters fight, and she opened a door. It was the bathroom, and was it ever huge. There was a bathtub that would allow someone to swim in. Lily smiled, she heard a scream, she exited the bathroom, and found Haylie carrying Britney and she dropped her on the couch.

Britney sighed, and went to one of the other rooms. "It's ok Haylie! This room is bigger and better!" Britney emerged from her new room, and smiled. "Lily, check out your room!" Lily smiled and went to the last an occupied room.

Britney was right, these rooms were huge. Lily's room was a deep rich purple color. The walls were purple the throw rug was purple the bed sheets and pillows were purple, and her bed was huge. Lily knew this was going to be a great vacation.

"Wow, I like the color," said Britney who entered Lily's room. "Now you have to see mine," she pulled Lily to her room.

It was the exact same, the large window on one side of the room, except the color wasn't purple but a deep red. "It's nice!" Lily said happily.

"Haylie's is the same except it's green," Britney said then sighed. "Let's go swimming!" Britney and Lily got dressed into their swim suits.

"Beauty Queen, we're going swimming!" yelled Britney.

"See you Princess!" Britney rolled her eyes, and the two young girls went to the beach, just outside the Hotel. Before they went into the water, Lily noticed someone following them.

"Britney?" asked Lily cautiously trying not to look over at the man that had followed them since they exited the hotel.

"Yes, Lillian?" asked Britney who was setting down her towel, on the nice warm sand.

"There's a man following us," Lily whispered urgently, and nodded her head in the direction of the man. Britney looked over and laughed. She ran over to the man and pulled him over to Lily.

"Lily this is Aaron, he's going to be watching us for the holiday! My dad wants me to be protected with this new dark lord rising, or something," she turned her head to the man. "You were scaring her," this being said, caused Aaron to laugh.

"I'm sorry for scaring you Lily," he held out his hand. "My name is Aaron!" Lily shook it nervously.

"Alright, let's go swimming!" Britney and Lily jumped into the water and they swam for hours until they were getting tired of the swimming. When they got out, Aaron pulled out his wand and made the two girls clean and dry. "Thanks," said Britney.

James' house

"What are you doing?" inquired Michael looking at his twelve year old brother. James was looking under Michael's bed.

James quickly got up. "Nothing, just looking," James said casually.

"For what?" Michael raised his eyebrows.

"Does it matter?" asked James, who was standing on the balls of his feet.

"When you're in my room trying to act casual, when you can't, yeah, it does matter!" Michael shot back. "Get out!" he yelled at his brother. He grabbed him roughly by the arm and threw him out his door.

"That wasn't very nice!" yelled James threw the door.

"Do you think I care about being nice to you?" Michael's voice said from the inside of his bedroom.

James shrugged and went down stairs to the kitchen. He was looking for something to eat when he heard a crash in the living room. So James went in to find Sirius sprawled out on the living room floor covered in soot.

"I hate floo," muttered Sirius, as he slowly got up.

"It took you long enough!" exclaimed James as he walked over to Sirius who got up.

"Yeah, I had to sneak out. My parents will flip once they find that I'm not there," Sirius smiled just at the mere thought of it. James smiled. "So is Remus or Peter here yet?" asked Sirius, looking around for any sign of their two other friends, from school.

"No, Peter said he couldn't make it, he said his parents are taking him on vacation last minute," James sighed. "Remus said he'd be here later!"

"Great! All right get your owl, parchment, and a quill!" Sirius said rubbing his hands together.

"Why?" inquired James.

"So we can write to Britney, of course!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Why would we do that?" asked James.

"The kitchens, and any other secrets she knows about Hogwarts!" Sirius said running up the stairs to James' room.

"Oh great, let's make her hate us even more!" exclaimed James sarcastically.

"Why not?" asked Sirius smiling madly, as he got out a piece of parchment and quill. "This information will help us with the map even more! But we won't tell her about that," Sirius said writing quickly on the parchment.

"Hey Sirius?" James asked quietly.

"Hello, I'm right here," Sirius said as he scratched out a line on the parchment.

"Yeah," James said confused by this remark. "Don't you find Remus a little . . . er odd?" asked James carefully.

Sirius stopped. "What do you mean by?" he asked slowly.

"I mean he goes home quite a bit during the school year," James said uncertain. "I mean how long can his mother be that sick for? I mean if it's just a little cold, but I mean . . . don't you find that a little strange?"

Sirius thought for a moment. "Yeah it is a little strange," Sirius started.

"What's strange?" said a voice from James' door. Sirius jumped and he and James turned around quickly to see who the voice belonged to. It was Remus.

"Er, well, James and I, were, er discussing the, er . . . how's your mother?" Sirius said quickly. James glared at Sirius.

Remus paled more than he already was. "She's f-fine, just a little queasy," Remus said nervously.

"Yeah, sorry," said James quietly. Remus shook his head.

"So what are you doing?" asked Remus trying to break the tension.

"Writing a letter to Britney!" said Sirius glad to end the tension.

"Oh please tell me you aren't," Remus whined.

Sirius nodded frantically, he looked back at the letter he wrote. "Should be good," Sirius ran over to the owl in the cage in James' room. He tied the letter the owl and let it out the window.

"What did you write?" asked James with his eyebrows raised.

"Nothing really," said Sirius casually, but there was a wicked grin on his face. James and Remus groaned. "Hey! It's not that bad!" Sirius said defensively.

"Yeah right," groaned James, just then his stomach growled. "Anyone want food?" asked James smiling. Sirius jumped up.

"Race you downstairs!" He said excitedly. James shook his head but then bolted out the door. "NO FAIR!" yelled Sirius.

Remus rolled his eyes and slowly went down the stairs when he heard a . . . CRASH!

A small noise could be heard and laughing. "Ow," came Sirius' voice, and James was laughing.

Remus turned the corner of the hallway to find Sirius on the ground sprawled out (for the second time that day) rubbing his head, and shattered glass all around him while James was on the floor laughing.

Mrs. Potter came rushing in. "Oh, Sirius, dear!" Mrs. Potter rushed over to help Sirius up, and then she pulled out her wand and with a flick, the glass turned back into a beautiful vase. "You boys should slow down!" she scolded.

"They can't mom!" yelled Michael from down the hall. "They're already slow!" Michael snickered.

"Get going!" Mrs. Potter snapped at her sixteen year old son. Sirius was rubbing his head. "James get off the floor, and stop laughing, Sirius could have gotten hurt! Come on Sirius dear, I'll make you a sundae!" Sirius smiled and followed Mrs. Potter to the kitchen.

"Hey, mom! I want a sundae to!" James ran after Mrs. Potter and Remus followed.

1 Weeks Later

Britney and Lily

"I can't believe it!" exclaimed Britney. It was the first week of Lily and Britney being in America, and they were having a lot of fun. Lily woke up at this sudden outburst in the dead silence of the hotel room. She looked over at the clock beside her bed, 7:30 am. Lily sighed and rolled out of bed and went out of her bedroom.

There she saw Britney gaping at a letter in her hands. "They're so stupid!" Lily yawned.

"Who?" Lily asked tiredly.

"James and Sirius, that's it! I'm never speaking to them forever!" Britney yelled. Lily just yawned again.

Britney got out a parchment and quill, and started writing. Then she stopped and read it to Lily.

Sirius and James,

You have to stop! You two are driving me crazy! I'm trying to have a nice vacation, but when I get a letter asking me about Hogwarts secrets! I'm serious! Leave me alone! Don't write to me at all for the rest of the summer!

Your ex-friend

Britney

"Don't you think that's a little harsh?" asked Lily.

"It's James and Sirius, of course it's not!" Britney exclaimed. She went into her room and got out her owl, tied the letter, and sent it off. "James and Sirius will never bother me again!"

"I somehow doubt that," murmured Lily.
