New Years 1987

James Potter, his wife Lily and their friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were enjoying a very exciting new year and it was only 11:00 at night! James and Sirius had found a box of firework and with great effort climbed up onto the icy roof. It had snowed the day before too! "James, I'm not sure that's a great idea!" Lily shouted up, wincing as her husband slid and smacked his head on the chimney. "I'm all right. I meant to do that! HEY! I didn't fall! WOOT!"

"Ready?" James asked Sirius, who was holding the box of bottle rockets. "Yeah, hold on…One, two, three…GO!" Sirius held out a set of bottle rockets, home made and very fun to play with because it involves fire. They set off about eight at once (magic comes in handy there). James stepped back and hit ice "Whoa! Yikes! Uh-oh! Eaahh!" he slid off the back of the roof. Thump.

"Ouch! I'm alright! I'm alright! I meant to do that too!" Sirius turned around "James? James? Where are you mate? Ahhh!" he followed James off the side of the roof as the wives and Remus ran around to the back. Remus was to chicken to climb up on a steep and extremely icy roof on the last night in December.

"We told you not to climb up there!" Lily said as she healed James's injuries. "But it was worth it! I got to see fireworks and a pretty girl is helping me!". Lily glared, but then smiled.

"It's almost midnight! We could all apparate to New York to see the ball drop rather than watch it on the television!" Sirius said, sitting up.

"And appear in a crowd of people." Elektra said

"They're probably too drunk to notice." Remus said, "We could pull it off."

"You're as bad as them!" The women said exasperatedly. But they helped up their husbands and apparated to Times Square in New York City.

"Holy Moley! Where did you come from?" A man said turning around.

"Us? We've been here the entire time!" Sirius smirked.

"No you aint! You….mebbe you were there…." He looked at his can of beer. "I should quit drinking…."

"Look!" Lily pointed. The big glass ball was falling. The crowd was excited.

"Thirty-eight, nine four eleven"

"Shut up!" Lily elbowed her husband in the ribs.
