Summer Mayhem

James and Sirius are being forced to spend the summer at Lily's house. Everything ought to work out fine, right? Or maybe a series of mayhem might take place: Cureless mugglephobias, illegal quidditch, and dungbombs are nothing out of the ordinary.

Chapter 1: Telling Lily

Dear James,

I want you to know that your father and I love you immensely and that we'll miss greatly. Also, I hope living with the Evans will be an interesting and fun experience for both you and Sirius; it's not every day you boys get to be part of muggle traditions. I heard Mrs. Evans is a great cook, in which case you better advise her about your appetites beforehand. Please thank them for us and have a pleasant time.

With love,

Mom

PS. Did you remember to tell Lily about this, dear? Her parents didn't have time to do so.

Did he remember? Actually, he'd been dying to do so the entire week, but Sirius forbid him, something about being entertaining or whatever. He really hadn't paid that much attention at the moment; after all, he'd be spending the whole summer at her house! He'd never been that happy before.

He sighed as he put down the letter and stretched his arms up in the air with a silly smile playing on his lips.

"Thinking about Evans, mate?" Sirius Black asked him, knowing him too well.

"Yes," James answered absent-minded, "can you believe will be spending the entire summer with her? In her house?"

"I know, I know," he said, rolling his eyes at his best friend. James turned to look at him skeptically.

"Can't you be more excited, Padfoot?"

"I'll be as long as you haven't told her," Sirius said, smiling wickedly.

"Don't worry, she hasn't got a clue."

"Who doesn't have a clue?" Remus Lupin asked them as he walked into their dormitory to finish his half-packed trunk.

"We're staying at Evans house for the summer, but she doesn't know yet." Sirius told him, laughing. Remus raised his eyebrows at them.

"But don't you think that'll only make her hate you guys more?"

"Oh, come on, Moony, don't be such a party-pooper, it'll be fun." Sirius assured him.

"I don't know, maybe Remus is right, Padfoot. She might hate us enough not to want to see us at all during the summer, ruining our vacations as well as hers."

"Prongs, but the look on her face, it'll be priceless!"

Remus sighed and shook his head at them.

"Well, figure it out yourselves, I'll just make sure I'm gone before Lily finds out," he told them as he picked up his trunk and left the room.

"You know, we ought to think about packing, Padfoot, or we might never leave."

"Padfoot, when exactly are you planning on letting me tell her?" James asked him impatiently.

"Not yet, Prongs, my dear old friend."

"But I can already see King's Cross Station!"

"Not to worry, mate, I have everything under control," Sirius told him as the train came to halt.

"The day you have everything under control is the day Marlene McKinnon will willingly jump into your arms," James murmured darkly.

"I heard that, and just so you know, she has warmed up to me a lot more than Evans has to you, mate."

James scowled at him as they got out of the train and started looking for Lily.

"Now, I'm sure I can change that during the summer, so don't ruin it!" He warned his best friend as he laughed, put his hands together and rubbed them happily.

"Oh, I'm more than willing to do that, mate," he said as he approached the redheaded girl he had just spotted.

"Hey, Evans! How's it going?"

"Great, actually," she answered him sweetly, "to think it'll be two whole months before I see you two again, it is glorious!"

Sirius just smile at her as James glared at him.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to look for my parents," she told the as she turned away from them.

"Maybe we can help you, after all we'll be – ouch, Padfoot!" James started saying but Sirius elbowed him hard on the ribs to stop him from telling her the summer arrangements.

"Yeah, we'll help you, then we'll leave," Sirius said and Lily rolled her eyes at them and started walking with them behind her, knowing she wouldn't get rid of them until she left the station.

Soon Mr. and Mrs. Evans came into view, accompanied by a disrupted Petunia. Lily hugged her parents and greeted her sister, who completely ignored her.

Sirius cleared his voice and Lily turned to introduce the two boys. "These are James Potter and Sirius Black," she said in a bored tone.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, boys," Mrs. Evans said, hugging them both.

"Sir, how are you?" James greeted Mr. Evans and he shook his hand.

"Fine, fine, it's great to finally meet you two."

"Yes, so are you three ready to go?" Mrs. Evans asked them.

"Go? The three of us? What are you talking about, mom?" Lily asked her frenetically with her eyes wide open.

"Oh dear, yes, I forgot to tell you, but we're having these two boys over for the summer, Lily."

"And we better get going now," her father told them as he took his paralyzed daughter's trunk and they started walking to the exit.

"But-"

"Let's go, Lily, this place is packed."

She shook her head a bit and started following them. She couldn't keep her eyes away from the two boys, how on Earth had this happened to her? She wasn't supposed to see them or hear of them for two whole months! Was she being punished?

"Yes, I definitely am," Lily murmured darkly to herself.


That's all for today's chapter!

I hope to get many reviews... please!
