"Right, remember best behaviour. . . both of you."

"What are you telling me for? I'm not some love sick puppy" Sirius said acting shocked. James then whispered something in Sirius' ear which caused them to start muttering between themselves, best just to ignore them Tori, once we get there they will behave. Right? "Ouch!" I glanced over my shoulder to see James and Sirius glaring at one another. I'm not sure which one was momentarily in pain or not, I couldn't contain the sigh that had been trying to escape for the past five minutes.

"Just stop please. Look we're here so either shut up or go home!" They stood shuffling their feet slightly but said nothing else.

I walked up the Evans' driveway and could feel the boys trailing closely behind. Once we got to the door I sent the boys one last glare before reaching up to ring the door bell. After a minute of silence I could hear someone moving just behind the door. The door swung open to reveal a smiling Mrs Evans, once she realised it was me her smile grew a little.

"Hello dear. Lily didn't mention you were coming over today."

"Hello Mrs Evans. Yeah, she didn't say anything because she didn't know. I haven't seen her in a while so I decided I would come by for a surprise visit. I hope you don't mind."

"No. Not at all dear, we love it when you come around." She smiled at me and looked over my shoulder to see the boys better. I almost forgot they were here, they were being uncommonly quiet.

"Oh sorry, Mrs Evans this is Sirius Black and my brother James. They didn't have anything better to do today so they tagged along."

"It's lovely to finally meet you both" She breamed and I could have sworn I saw an extra twinkle in her eye when she looked at James. Hmmm.

"It's great to meet you too Mrs Evans" James spoke up.

"Yeah, excellent to meet you." Sirius grinned.

"Well let's not have you standing on the doorstep all day, come in, come in."

As we walked into the hall I saw Petunia walk out of the house through the kitchen door. I internally sighed. She won't even take a chance to get to know me. When I first met her the first thing she said to me was 'Are you my sisters friend from school?' I of course answered the affirmative and she just got up and left and has scarcely said two words to me since. That was five years ago.

The boys followed me into the living room. It was quite a large room with a squishy three seat sofa and two matching armchairs gathered around the fire. In the armchair in the corner was a man sat with a large newspaper covering his face from sight. I couldn't help but smile as I walked over to him.

"Hello Mr Evans"

The newspaper came down so the owner could see me. He smiled and opened his arms for a welcome hug.

"How are you pet?" Mr Evans said, carefully folding his newspaper and placing it on the table beside him.

"I'm good thank you and yourself?"

"Not bad, I've been better, but not bad thanks pet." The boys shuffled slightly behind me, obviously unsure on what to do. Mr Evans eyes focused on the two before looking back at me. "So who are these two numpties?"

I smiled as I answered. "James and Sirius, we've come to steal your daughter for the day if you don't mind." I noted Mr Evans eyes zero in on James for a moment before he answered.

"Yeah, sure but don't keep her out too late. I'm relying on you to ensure that, pet."

"Okay, no worries. Oh and before I forget is it okay for Lily to come and stay the last night of the holidays before we go back to Hogwarts? Its just that James' friends are all coming on the last day so I wanted some back up so I don't have to face them alone." I said with fake concern, but not that Mr Evans would ever know that.

"Haha, yeah sure, I'm sure Lily would love to come and stay." He said smiling.

"Good, so is Lily in her room?"

"Yes, I think so. . ." He turned to James and Sirius and was obviously trying to think of something appropriate to say. I guess he finally settled on a subject because he started to speak again, directing it to the boys. "So, er, boys do you play sport?"

"Yes!" They said at once.

"Not any muggle sports though Mr Evans." James added.

"Really? So what sports do you play?" Mr Evans asked curiously.

Sirius and James looked at each other before turning back to Mr Evans and said together "Quidditch."

"Ah yes Lily has mentioned it but never explained exactly what it was. Would you care to enlighten me?" And with that the boys started explaining all the rules to every detail. I could see that there would be no danger in leaving them alone for a little while now, so I turned on my heal and headed towards the stairs.

"Oh, Lily Flower!" I sang as I ran up the stairs. The door opposite the top of the stairs flew open to reveal a green eyed she-devil in all her glory. She was wearing a pair of shorts and the tank top that she usually slept in for the summer with her red hair ruffled into weird angels from sleep. "Oh good, your awake." I swear if looks could kill. I ignored it however and happily strolled past her into her room and sat on the bed.

"I hate that name!" She hissed at me as she shut her door.

"I know but I needed to make sure you were awake. Sorry." She sighed and sat on the bed next to me.

"It's okay, I'll let you off. Just this once. So what are you doing here?"

"What? You don't want me here? I thought I was your best friend! If you don't want to see me I'll just leave." I stood dramatically and headed for the door. A pillow collided with the back of my head. Hmm this is a weird, I'm sure something similar happened with me this morning.

"Come back, you know what I meant."

"Well I just came by for a surprise visit and thought that maybe we could go and do something, like, oh I don't know, go to Diagon Alley or something."

"Oh, okay let me just get dressed." She headed into the bathroom with her clothes and came out clean and presentable ten minutes later.

"Oh, Lil, I just asked your dad when we came in if you could stay at mine on the last night of the holidays. I still don't understand why you couldn't have just asked him yourself."

"What did he say? Plus you know he's more likely to say yes if you ask because he can't guilt trip you. 'Lily it will be your last night before you leave for your last year of school. Don't you want to spend it with your family?' You know he would come out with something like that."

"Yeah I guess he would, and he said you can come to stay by the way. So no problem." I stood up and headed for the door.

"Wait! You said 'we'. What do you mean we?" She narrowed her eyes at me. Crap.

"We - nominative plural of I. I would have thought you would know that Lily." I frowned at her and turned back to the door. She'll drop it, she'll drop it, she'll drop it . . .

"No. You know what I meant. You said that you had asked my dad 'when we came in' who else is here?" Damn. She didn't drop it.

"..."

"Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you?"

"James and Sirius."

"WHAT? Why the hell are they in my house you know how I hate them!"

"Oh, Lily calm down for Merlin's sake. Okay so, one: stop shouting or your mum and dad are going to think I'm torturing you."

"Humph, well you kind of are!" She folded her arms and sat on the bed.

"Don't interrupt me please Lily flower." She scowled at me but stayed quiet. "Two: they are in your house because they had nothing better to do today. I didn't want to bring them but my dad said that I should and they promised to be on their best behaviour and so far they've stuck to it so no complaints. Three: you don't hate them. You have been friends with Sirius - well on speaking terms with Sirius - for a few years now and as for James - you defiantly don't hate him."

"Fine your right about Sirius but completely wrong about James. James Potter is a big headed egotistical-"

"Yeah, yeah I know. You've been through the speech before." I cut her off. "Plus I know what he's like I have lived with him for fourteen years! Yes he was a bit of an idiot before but he's not so much now and you know it. Face it Lil you can't let go of what he was like because your scarred you actually might like him."

"Wha- . . . I most certainly do not . . . What would make you say such a thing!" I sighed for the millionth time today and went to sat next to her.

"Yes you do, now come on I don't want to argue about this now." She looked a little hesitant so I added "You know I wouldn't say anything to him right?" Lily turned to look at me with a small smile on her face.

"Yeah, I know. Come on then let's go before they end up doing something that they will come to regret." She glared at the floor in the direction of the living room. I swear if I were in that room right now I'm pretty sure I would feel that look burning into the back of my head. "What are they doing anyway?" Lily asked turning back to me.

"They're explaining Quidditch to your dad."

"Right, let's go." Just as she reached the door she looked at me with a knowing look in her eyes. "Tori, if I have to own up and realise my feelings for your brother, I think it's about time you did the same for Sirius." With that she headed down stairs.

Same for Sirius? She thinks that I have feelings for Sirius. What? That's not right. Sirius is Sirius, he's one of my best friends, nothing more, nothing less.

Right?
