Lisa: Oh I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I know I said this would be up so long ago. But I ran into the writers block monster. Those of you who write you know what I'm talking about.

Heather: Evvvvvvvil

Lisa: (slaps heather upside the head)

Heather: x.o

Lisa: Now thank you to everyone who read the last story and now may I present to you the beginning to Every End has a Beginning.

The Beginning

James opened his eyes and groaned it was morning once again. He was in his new flat that he and Lily had just moved into two days ago, right down the hall were Sirius, Andy, Remus, Heather, Laura and Peter. James sighed and looked over to Lily sleeping peacefully… in a separate bed. She said she didn't want to rush things she had said, which needless to say upset James.

Shrugging he got up and stretched; he slowly walked over to his dresser rubbing his eyes and stared at his face in the mirror. He ran his hand over his hair a couple dozen times in all directions, picking up his wand he then slowly and tiredly walked to the kitchen. When he was there he took his wand and tapped the pot making it whistle. It was coffee time. James yawned and took the coffee grinds out of the cabinet and put some in the steaming mug. As he began stirring it he heard the door bang open behind him. He whipped around wand at the ready. He sighed when he saw it was just Sirius Black with a horrible case of bed hair standing in his doorway.

"Sirius, what are you doing here?" James asked taking a sip of his still steaming hot coffee. "And, you know, you could knock." He added to the end as Sirius walked in uninvited.

"Prongs, mate, I've lived with you in a dorm room for seven years, there is nothing I haven't seen before." Sirius said walking next to James and leaning on the counter.

James thought that over for a second. "That's actually quite disturbing… But seriously, what are you doing in my home. You do have your own do you not?"

"I heard coffee."

"You hear coffee?"

"Yes."

"You know most people smell coffee."

"Yes, well, I hear it."

Sirius took the coffee right out of James's hands and began drinking it only to make a face and almost spit it out. "Oh ew, James! No cream? What is wrong with you?"

"I take my coffee black." James said making himself a new cup since Sirius was already putting cream in his. "So, how are things in your 'bachelor pad'? James said using the best air quotes he could with a coffee mug in his hand.

"Wonderful!" Sirius yelled being very chipper for this early in the morning. "Couldn't be better!"

"Any word on everyone else?" James asked.

"Well, no… I heard Heather scream. I think from Laura's taste, Andy stopped by and stole a bottle of rum in the middle of the night. Merlin knows what her and Remus were doing in there." Sirius said scratching his head making his long, black hair stand up even more.

James cut him off. "How do you know it was Andy?"

"Who else would steal alcohol at two in the morning, let alone rum? She's lucky I even had any."

"Good point,"

"And, hey, I heard Pete come in late last night but then I think he left again, you know we share a wall and I heard him stumbling in cause I forgot to put up the silencing charm. It was like three o'clock. That new job of his has him working all hours." Sirius said in disbelief.

"At least he has a job now." James said and Lily's exhausted voice came floating into the room.

"James?" She called.

"In here, Flower." He replied right before taking another sip of his coffee.

"Do I smell coffee?" She asked still in the other room.

"See? She smells it not hears it." James said and that's when Lily came walking in the room.

Lily was wearing a pink, short, silk night gown with a silk robe wide open, the night gown was fairly revealing. As she stepped further in the room they saw her eyes were shut and she was rubbing them and stretching. When they finally opened she immediately saw Sirius with a grin on his face and she screamed. She desperately grabbed at his robe and cover up. "Bloody hell Sirius! What are you doing here!?"

"I popped in." He smirked and drank more of his coffee.

"Why? You have your own home!" She cried still holding her robe tight around her.

"Yeah… But it's boring there." He said with a stupid grin on he's mastered since his first year at Hogwarts.

"Shut up, Black." She mumbled and walked over to the refrigerator to grab the orange juice, unlike the two men she was not addicted to the thing known as caffeine.

"Aw, back to last name basis? That's such a same Lily baby." He said with a pouting look on.

"Don't call me that." She said and began making herself and James some breakfast.

"What about me?" Sirius asked quickly noticing that she was only making breakfast for two. "I go hungry too you know."

"I'm not making you breakfast, if you're really that desperate go find food somewhere else." Lily said not looking up from the stove as she make eggs.

"Fine then, I will." Sirius said and chugged the remainder of his coffee and then walked out the door. Sirius stood in the hall for a moment wondering where he could get more food. Then he looked to the door across the hall. Andy and Remus. He smirked to himself and opened the door without even knocking. "Gooooood morning!" he yelled as he walked in.

"Screw you." Andy said walking past him not even caring he just barged in.

"Well you're lively this morning." He said and watched her as she flopped down in the couch drinking Lord knows what was in that cup. She was wearing black pajama pants with a bright red tank top that showed several inches of her stomach. Apparently she was not worried about Sirius seeing her in her pj's. "Are, uh, you okay? You seem kinda… funny."

"Fine." She said shrugging and she continued to stare at the TV in the front of the room. No doubt Andy snagged it from her mom.

Before he couple respond Remus walked by with the same look on his face as Andy. He wore a pair of boxers along with a t-shirt. "Hey, Sirius." He said. "When you'd get here, mate?"

"Um, just now actually… Are you guys okay?" he asked again.

"Absolutely." Remus aid and then looked up to see Sirius's confused expression. "We've come to accept the fact that you will walk into our home uninvited. We're used it and we know that you will never stop." Remus said turning his head back to the TV.

"But this is the first time I've done it."

"Which made the gettin'-used-to-it so hard to do." Andy said taking another sip from her cup.

"You know, this was funnier with Lily and James." Sirius complained.

"Lily and James are unprepared." Remus said taking Andy's cup and taking a long drink from it.

Sirius glared at them for several more seconds before grunting and storming out of the room, upset that he couldn't bother them. The two continued to sit on the couch and not even looking up Remus said, "Don't forget to shut the door, Padfoot." They heard him come back with another grunt and the door shut. "Thank you." Remus said.

Sirius walked down the hall a few feet before he reached another door, this flat occupied Heather and Laura. He grinned and opened the door wide; he looked around and spotted Laura dusting the shelves. She had her back to him so she didn't notice him entering; she unlike everyone else he encountered that morning was fully dressed. "Are you dusting?" he asked her with shock in his voice. "You've lived here two days."

Laura turned around quickly not expecting visitors at this hour and especially ones that did not say they would be coming over. "Sirius! What in Merlin's name are you doing here?" She asked.

"I decided to pop in check on my favorite girls." He smiled and Laura rolled her eyes. "But really, why are you dusting?"

"This place is filthy." She responded and went back to her obsessive compulsive cleaning of the room.

"You're the first people to live here, how can it be that bad?"

"You'd be surprised, and Heather! Oh my gosh, she's lived here for two days and already this place looks like a sty." Laura complained as she put down the duster and picked up a washcloth to clean the counter.

"You know, you are a witch, Laura, you can use magic." Sirius said.

"Please, that's the coward's way out of cleaning."

"No, that's the normal way." Heather said making her appearance in the doorway wearing her flannel pj bottoms and a shirt that was far too big for her. "Laura I told you to stay out of my room." She said in a tired voice, they hadn't even been living together for a week and they were already on each others nerves.

"I would if you kept it in proper order."

"Hell no." Heather said and walked in the room and dug her head in her refrigerator. "So, Sirius, why are you standing in my home?" She asked with her head still in there.

"He 'popped in'." Laura said rolling her eyes. "Unless you're going to take something out take your head out of that refrigerator, you're wasting energy."

Heather moaned and walked over to the couch. "So, how're things in your flat… things here bloody suck!" She yelled to Laura who was unfazed and once again rolled her eyes.

"They wouldn't suck if you were more of a lady." Laura said and then took a good look at her handy work around the kitchen. "Now I'm going to clan your room."

Heather said nothing and continued to stare at the wall as if she could make a hole in it with her mind.

"Um, I thought you didn't want her in your room." Sirius said but was quickly hushed by Heather who was supporting a mischievous smirk.

"Ahh!" They heard Laura scream.

"What did you do?" He asked with a wide smile on.

"Put a small charm on the door –" Before she could finish Laura came walking in covered in purple slime.

"HEATHER!" She screamed.

"Told you not to go in my room."

"SHUT IT!" Laura bellowed and threw some slime at her.

The two girls quickly engaged in a purple slim fight and Sirius bailed out of the room just in time before he was hut with some. He sighed and stayed with his back to the door for a moment before walking over to Peter's flat. This couldn't be too bad, what could Peter be doing? He opened the door and walked in, the flat was dead quiet. It looked no one was even living there, sure it was furnished fairly well, of course because Peter had money but it was so cold looking. Sirius stepped in and shut the door and the sound seemed to echo across the room.

"Pete?" Sirius said and he got no response. "Wormtail?" He asked again a little louder.

He walked in a little deeper and looked around for his fellow marauder. He shoes echoed on the hardwood floor. "Hey, Peter, you home?" he called out just as the door behind him opened. Sirius whipped around in surprise seeing who was walking in. It was Peter. "Hey, mate," Sirius said and then took in the fact Peter was fully dressed. "You just get home? Please tell me it was a girl and not your job."

"Work," he responded tiredly rubbing his eyes.

"Sodding hell, mate, he works you too hard." Sirius said with a slightly sympathetic look on his face. "We should go pull a good old fashioned marauder prank on his ass." He smirked.

"No." Peter said a little too quickly. "I mean, he's a real git. He could sack me."

Sirius nodded and then looked at Peters face. "You look tired; I'll leave you alone and maybe bug someone else." He said, he really meant it too. He was a really annoying joker, but he knew when he should stop.

"Thanks." Peter mumbled and headed off to his room.

Sirius looked after him; he didn't fail to notice that Peter had dark circles under his eyes. The fact that his hair looked like James's or that he hadn't even been out of school for a month and he was already being so over worked that not even an adult could handle it all. Sure they were qualified wizards but they were still only seventeen or eighteen depending on who you talked to. Until that 'teen' left your age you weren't really an adult yet.

Sirius slowly walked out of the flat and shut the door behind him quietly. He would defiantly have to talk to James and Remus about this later when the girls were out but for now he was going to head back to his own home.
