Harry Potter is not mine, I loved living in it as a kid and I am letting go of my imagination on the next generation. I'll never be any where near J. writing standards and I apologize for that.

Hope you like it~!

Never a Dull moment

By Shanny

Chapter one: Mentality at its peak

The platform was flooded with parents anxiously awaiting their children's homecoming; it was funny to think they use to be the children coming from Hogwarts seeing all of their parents waiting for their arrival. She finally understood how her mother felt when they all left; it was miserable all you do is worry and miss them. Their letters are what you end up living for, just searching for the owls in the grey sky. Even when just James went it was like a part of the happiness was gone and replaced with worry. It was the second year two of her children were attending now and it just got worse, the worrying was driving her mad; Harry didn't know what to do to help half the time. Lily has been traveling with Teddy, Victorie and Dom to Paris for the past month because she was going crazy without her brothers too; she's not due back till tomorrow. The last month was the worst of all, though next year all three would be going. Ginny was trying hard to not think of next year just James and Albus returning.

The train steamed into the station and came to a holt; the doors opened and the students all rushed their goodbyes and were searching for their parents. Ginny was beginning to get impatient when James ran to her dropping his things in his hast.

"You've gotten so tall! I've missed you like crazy!" She rushed excitedly hugging him again, "Now where is your brother?"

"Probably still snogging his girlfriend—" Ginny's eyebrows shot to the roof. "I mean… saying goodbye verbally to his un-sexually attractive female friend?"

Ginny wasn't impressed, though Harry could tell James was lying there was no point telling her because in her eyes it's the principal of it all. This was going to be interesting.

"Acio Albus Severus Potter!" Ginny said, not a second later did Ablus turned up at the point of her wand.

Looking annoyed he raised his voice, "Mum! What in Merlin's beard was—?"

Ginny's menacing look was enough to shut him up; she put her hand on her hip, "Who're snogging you and why? You're twelve!"

Albus's face twisted in confusion, what was she on about? "I don't know what you mean—"

"I don't want to hear it! When you get home you're cleaning the fireplace the muggle way!" She fumed; no son of hers was going to be a womanizer; if his snogging now imagine what he'll be doing at 13.

"You're insane! No! I didn't even—" Ablus cried terrified.

Ginny grabbed him by the ear yelling to Harry and James goodbye. Albus turned to them frantically to see a sly grin planted on James' face, that bastard! Ginny Apparated home before he could say a thing.

Harry gave a slight smirk at his wife, "She sure has gotten insane, hasn't she?" He turned to see James holding back Laughter. "That was a horrible thing to do; I'll be telling your mother when we get home James."

"You have to congratulate me on my execution of it though Dad, I did well." James chuckled, "Besides you're trying hard to not laugh. Go on, let it out."

Harry felt himself laugh as he held onto James' shoulder and Apparated home to set things straight.

Albus had forgotten how crafty his mother was, she could think up the worst punishments and not waver to it being done the way she says. James has to pack all of our things into boxes manually by tomorrow when we're moving; mum unpacked everything so he could re-pack it. Everyone's rooms, the lounge, kitchen even the storage rooms but for some reason James was doing it gleefully… guess he really does love packing. The bastard confessed and he still has to clean this fireplace to make sure he doesn't snog anyone till fifth year, the women is balmy it's my first day back. That's probably the reason his so god damned cheerful.

"Ablus! Get dressed!" Harry yelled horrified that his son would clean his house while naked, "Ladies live here too! In fact your Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione are coming over to help transport the second half! Go to your room. Now!"

He didn't have time to tell his dad he was in fact wearing clothes because he apparated. He could feel his clothes on his body but when he looked down he too saw no clothes either. He moved to his feet as fast as a seeker catching the snitch and sprinted to his room. It was empty; James had packed his room first now that he thought about it and he was almost certain dad apparated to the new house where James and he were unpacking the first half. Wait, no. Not fully empty there was a note and a small bag. He reached for the note and at his tough it began to laugh in his face before reading itself. James' voice chuckled as he spoke.

'ALLY! I thought you'd like to know I packed every piece of clothing first except what's in this bag, good luck mate! You'll be the bell of the ball! Hahaha!

Albus reached inside the bag the small bag and dragged out a pink frilly dress. He was going to kill him. He unhappily pulled on the dress when the door squeaked open.

"I could've sworn I heard James laughing up here, have you seen him—" Teddy's eyes grew wide then he erupted in laughter at the sight of Albus. 'Why' was the only word he could utter after five minutes of trying.

"Sodd off! James somehow made my clothes invisible while not at school and left me a… well, you can see." Albus growled.

Teddy raised his eyebrows.

"What?"

"It's just that to do the spell you just said James would have had to actually listen in class."

Albus was seething. "So what, can you help me or not?"

"Oh, right, yeah. Sorry mate." Teddy apologize, "So where are your invisible clothes?"

"I'm still wearing them, thought it might ware off…"

Teddy pulled out his wand and mumbled visibilis with that Ablus' clothes appeared and he pulled off the disgusting dress. Only then did he notice Lily laughing hysterically behind Teddy with Dom. He would never hear the end of it, great.

"What're you three doing here, I thought use were coming tomorrow?" Albus inquired.

"We're surprising everyone for tea tonight. We were going to talk to James to sneek us in now but I guess were got to the leaky caldron instead." Lily rambled excitedly, "This will be my first time going without Dad or Mum. Albus do you think I can borrow your dress? I think pink goes great with my hair and mine stuff has been packed."

Teady was holding back his laughter while Dom was wailing.

"Oh, that was beautiful!" Dom beamed. "Almost as beautiful as—"

"Oh shut it! Merlin's beard!" yelled Albus. This was worse than the actually prank.

"Okay, that's enough girls let's go get Victorie and head off." Teddy apologetically at Albus, "We'll see you tonight Al, don't tell anyone we're here." A crack sounded as he apparated them away.

Lily was having the time of her life in Paris but she was still glad to be back. She found herself studying the people in the Leaky Cauldron; many were old and haggard many were also just average wizards you'd see just about anywhere but there were those rare few ones that looked out of place in the dank walls of the Cauldron. They were people from the ministry mainly; she recognized them because they looked much like her father did when he goes into work. They wore suits and form-fitting dresses with jackets; her and her father call them Straight-jackets 'cause they all look like they're going to go mental.

"Earth to Lily!" Dom clicked her fingers in her face, "Are you scouting for Father Christmas? 'Cause even the muggles know his a myth Lils."

Dominique was her best-friend and cousin. She was beautiful just like her mother; she had lightly tanned skin, blonde curls and her almond-shaped brown eyes were so big, most guys do double takes when they see her. They were real opposites in looks; Lily with her bright auburn hair, creamy white complexion and large green eyes.

"Sorry, I was just thinking. When're we heading off to the new house? I haven't seen it yet." Lily sighed, "I'm going to miss 12 Grimauld Place."

"Same here actually, it's an old place but a nice one." Teddy said distantly then came back with a smile, "We should be heading off about now actually. You guys ready?"

"Yes!" Lily and Dom Chimed.

"Yeah, let's go." Victorie took teddy and Dom's hands while Teddy grabbed Lily's.

The crack sounded and they appeared in the front yard of the new house. It was tall like the Burrow and quite uneven with dark wood. Windows were everywhere and lights were switched on all round, we could see to the kitchen from outside; it was a beautifully abstract house.

Lily strode toward the door as fast as her legs would take her. She reached for the door knob twisted it and pushed her way into the house. Not a second after the other three were pushing in, the whole table erupted.

"Teddy! Lily! You're back earlier!" Ginny screeched happily getting up from the table she glided across the room grabbing extra chairs for the table.

"We thought we'd surprise you and I'd never miss out on seeing my new home!" Lily ran and gave her parents a hug then took her seat beside Lewis' friend with it being the last one left.

The happy chatter began Lily and Dom talked about Paris mostly while James and Ablus talked of school and how Professor Sprout was hooking up with Mr. Filtch, Ginny wasn't please about some of the conversations but glad they were all back.

Right after dinner ended all the kids broke into groups. Rose, Albus and Molly in one; James and fred went with Teddy and Victorie even though they weren't kids then there was Dominique, Lewis his friend and Lily. Lucy and Roxy were off in the corner being girls though Lily and Dom were there age they didn't get on too great.

"I'm Jem by the way," smiled the boy that was next to her, "You're going to Hogwarts next year right?"

"Yeah, I am." Lily beamed, "Is it as amazing as I think it is, or do people just make it sound amazing?"

"It's pretty amazing, I love it. This year was my first year, just look out for Flitwick when you talk about height and you'll be fine. Though you're short too you might make him feel at home." He joked, chuckling making his brown eyes smile as well.

Lily pretended to be offended and lightly slapped him on the shoulder, "You're talking to the chosen one's daughter you know."

"Oh, I'm so sorry… I didn't know! I swear!" with faked shock, he pleaded for forgiveness.

James interrupted from behind them, "Someone has a crush on my little sister, hmmmm?"

Jem blushed a deep crimson. "Not hardly."

"Right, I'm sorry must of misread your naturally red face to be blushing." He teased playfully, "I'm sorry, forgive me?"

"Sure, forgiven." Jem smirked, while Lilly told her brother off.

"You know, you guys would make a cute couple," Dom flashed a smile before she ran and Jem chased her.

Not a second after Lewis added, "You know, I agree, what with your dark looks and her lighter you'd really complement each other quite—"

Lily tackled him before he could finish.

"Don't say another word or I'll tickle you to death," She glared through him.

He gasped, "Oh no! Lily is going to tickle me whatever will I do since I have had one year of defense against the dark arts! Oh no, Oh—"

She attacked his rib-cage and he roared with laughter.
