Chapter 1

(A/N: [Disclaimer: I only own the plot and a few of the characters you dont recognize] the story starts in the gangs 5th year)

LILY'S POV

Its only been a month since the end of last term n I'm already wishing I was back. I'm not a normal teenage girl, I'm a fifth year at Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry. The only contact I've had with my friends is owling (our form of getting the mail). My sister is annoying the crap out of me, thankfully this summer isn't as bad as last years. This year Petunia has a boyfriend to hang out with or snog.

JAMES' POV

I'm bored out of my mind, so is Sirius. And when we are bored bad things start to happen. We start going on prankfests. That would be totally fun, except for the fact we would only be able to prank each other. Sirius is staying the summer with me, like always, he doesn't share the same views as his parents on dark arts or blood purity. Now my parents are out on some secret mission, that they can't talk to me about. They are never allowed to talk to me about their work, so we never have anything to talk about when they are home, which isn't much so it doesn't really matter. Perhaps I can invite some of my other friends over and we can have a party! That would be so awesome but they probably won't let me because there wouldn't be any adult supervision.

"Mom, Dad pick up the Mirror. Can I have some friends over until the start of term?" I said into the two way mirror which is kind of like a telephone.

"Yes, honey that fine. Just make sure their parents know that we are not going to be their most of the time, but the house-elves will look after you guys to make sure you won't get into too much trouble," Mom said.

So now Sirius and I are writing owls to invite our closest friends, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans, and Arabella (Bella) Figg. They all said the same things i

Dear __________, We were wondering if you would like to come to the Potter Manor on July 17th and stay until the start of term. We will be able to go to Diagon Alley when we get our school letters. Also, be sure to tell your parents that my parents will probably not be there most of the time because they are aurors, but the house-elves will be there looking after us.

James and Sirius/i

"I hope everyone can come," I said to Sirius.

"Yeah, me to. Moony might have a problem though. There's a full moon in August so his mom will probably want him home. " Sirius said actually being serious.

"We could always put him in the basement, Dad proofed it for him last year so the girls will be safe when we are down there with him"

LILY'S POV

"MOM!!!! Can I go over to James next week. Everyone's going to be there"

"Yes that's fine. How are you getting over there? When are you coming home? Are his parents going to be there?"

"Floo, I'm not staying til the start of term, No, the house-elves are going to watch us"

"Alright sweetie, go pack, don't forget your stuff for school. I'll write you a check for you to put in your vault."

"Thank you soooo much."

REMUS' POV

"Mom, I got a letter from James and Sirius they want me to go over til the start of term. Can I go? Please?"

"That's fine but what about your transformations?"

"James father proofed it for me last year so I couldn't harm any of them. Plus they all know so I won't have to tell them."

"OK, go owl James and say you can go. Then pack, don't forget to take your Gringotts key."

PETER'S POV

"Dad, can I go over to James on the 17th?"

"No, the dark lord will need you before then. You don't want them to suspect anything do you? Make up some lie about going on Holiday or something, I don't care as long as you say you can't go."

"Yes, sir"

Man I wish I could go. It would be so much fun. Now I'm left alone again. But as long as they don't suspect anything. My job is to spy on them.

BELLA'S POV

"Aunt Bella, can I go over to my friends James house until the start of term?"

"Sure. When do you leave?"

"The 17th. Well you better go pack, don't forget everything you need for Hogwarts."
