AN: Don't own Harry Potter
Dinner
The Marauders spent the rest of the afternoon out at the pond. Neither Padfoot nor Moony could get the girl out of their minds, and Remus was nervous about the fact that they lived across the street from each other. Both he and Padfoot wouldn't mind having a third party in their relationship, so he wasn't worried about his boyfriend. Finally at five o'clock the four soon-to-be sixth-years headed back to Remus's house.
Marie Lupin was waiting for her son and his friends to get back from the pond. Finally she heard the four come into the house, "Boys, you need to go get changed because we are having the new neighbors over in twenty minutes for dinner and I want to make a good impression." Both Remus and Sirius paled at the news and went running upstairs to get dressed. James and Peter followed them chuckling softly while Marie stood watching, shaking her head at the four.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allie walked across the street with her brothers, excited to meet some one her age. Back in Atlanta she hadn't had many friends because most people considered her eccentric. She freely admitted it too. She was smart, dressed weirdly, and had a love for pranks. Her brothers had seen nothing wrong with teaching her ahead of the curriculum so she was always at the top of every class, knowing how to do most of the spells before she even entered the classroom.
When she got to the house, she knocked and her family was ushered in. She smiled politely to Mrs. Lupin and was looking around the house when she heard the thunder that she knew accompanied the arrival of more than one boy down stairs. Her mouth dropped open when three of the hottest guys she had ever seen walked into the room.
The first, Remus, was wearing light blue jeans that hugged his firm butt, a short sleeve white t-shirt with the Black Knight from Monty Python on it and the words "It's only a flesh wound," written in blood red letters, and brown leather boots. Next came Sirius who was wearing black jeans that were almost indecently tight, a black Led Zeppelin shirt that had the last verse of the song Stairway to Heaven on the back, a black leather, studded collar, and black leather boots. The third one down the stairs was James; he was wearing blue jeans and a plain maroon shirt and had a pair of tennis shoes on. Last was Peter, but Allie just noticed he was a teddy bear cute so she glanced over him. Just as they made it down Allie saw them start laughing so she figured Alex had just arrived.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The four boys heard Mrs. Lupin greeting some one at the door, so the four of them raced down stairs. When they reached the bottom of the stairs all four stopped and took in the sight of the new girl, who was looking incredibly hot. She was wearing a tight black jean mini-skirt, black leggings that showed off her toned legs, a tight purple shirt that said, "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them," a black studded bracelet, and black, heeled, calf high, boots. She had little make-up on, just some eye shadow and lip-gloss. Her hair was pulled back into a half-ponytail. A light blush spread across her cheeks as they stared at her. After the boys had stared at Allie for a few minutes they saw three boys, who must have been Allie's brothers, walk into the room, and the middle one had hair a shocking neon-green.
Mrs. Lupin spoke, "Oh dear, did you know your hair was green?"
Laughter went through the gathered group and the four boys noticed the look in Allie's eyes, and immediately knew that she had done it.
"Well," Mrs. Lupin continued, "I am Marie Lupin, over there is my husband John, the four boys you see are my son Remus and his friends Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew."
"It's nice to meet you all. I am Zach Grey and these are my siblings, Alex, David, and Allie."
"Well dinner will be ready in half-an-hour, Remus why don't you take Allie and show her around." Remus nodded and beckoned for Allie to follow him upstairs. When the five teens reached Remus's room they sat on the bed.
"So, do you just live with your brothers?" Remus asked.
"Yeah it's been just us since I was eight, so about eight years, but before that Zach practically raised me anyway." The boys were smart enough to let that subject drop after hearing the tone her voice took.
"So Dumbledore mentioned you four to me earlier, he said that you would appreciate my sense of humor after you saw Alex."
"So you're the one who did that," Sirius stated needlessly.
"Yep, I will have to watch my back for the next week or so until he gets his revenge, but it was worth it."
This strain of conversation kept the teens occupied until Mrs. Lupin called them down for dinner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downstairs the conversation took a similar turn to the first one of the teens. Marie was the one to bring the subject up, "So dears, is it just the four of you?"
"Yes."
"What about your parents? Shouldn't they be raising Allie?" John asked.
Alex answered, "Well they walked out on us eight years ago and before that Zach practically raised Dave and Allie. Our parents were too busy worrying about other things than us."
Dave put in his opinion, "Leaving may have been the best thing they ever did for any of us, especially Allie. She would have never survived the abuse our parents would have put her through."
Luckily the timer for dinner went off then and the boys were saved from answering any more awkward questions. Marie called up the stairs for the teens and everyone sat down for the meal.
