Chapter 2: People coming and going and coming

Revenge or Something Like It

Lily rolled over. She felt a light breeze on her face as she opened her eyes. She sat up and yawned and her some laughing next to her. She turned to see James and Remus laughing.

"Huh? What did I miss? Why are you two laughing and where is Sirius?" Lily asked.

The two of them didn't stop laughing only one word escaped James mouth in between laughs. It was pool. She looked at them both slightly confused but she got up and started walking towards the pool. There in the center of it onto of a bright pink raft (AN you know the kind you can lay out on and you won't get wet unless you roll off or someone pushes you off, hinthint. Also I looked back at the first chapter where I mentioned the pool but I never said what kind, sorry about that, I'm making it an inground pool.) was Sirius still sound asleep. Lily doubled over laughing as Remus and James appeared behind her.

"It gets better, trust me." James whispered to her. She stopped laughing and stood up again. Remus went to the edge of the pool.

"Bloody! Quick Sirius the house is on fire!" Remus yelled in the loudest most panicking voice he could. Sirius shot upright throwing off the balance of the raft and it flipped over making Sirius fall in the water with a splash . Lily, Remus, and James when cracking up and rolling on the ground laughing. Sirius swam to the surface and spit out a mouth full of water.

"Ok now that was definitely not funny." He said as he climbed out of the pool soaking wet. The others were laughing to hard to laugh. He glared at them.

"Don't worry I'll get you guys back for that one." He said now smirking.

" Let's go get some breakfast ok?" Lily said. Everyone agreed and went with her into the house. Lily grabbed a few different types of cereal 4 bowls and spoons and some milk. They all sat down at the kitchen table and were eating when the doorbell rang. Lily ran up to get it. She opened the door. There stood Petunia.

" Oh, Petunia, what are you doing back?" Lily asked.

Petunia rolled her eyes "Whatever I'm just here to pick up some more clothing quickly." Petunia said brushing by Lily. Petunia, while going up the stairs noticed the boys in the kitchen.

"Who are they? Do mom and dad know?" she yelled at Lily.

"They are friends from school and yes mom and dad invited them." Lily said obviously getting upset.

"Oh great mom and dad let even more freaks in the house" she said as she went upstairs and came back down with a bag of clothing.

"I'm glad I came back home I left my bedroom door unlocked and who knows who would go in there with all these freaks running around the house." She said and left the house slamming the door.

"Nice girl" Sirius said.

"Yea to bad she couldn't have stayed longer." James also said.

"Yes, I really would like to meet her again sometime" Remus stated.

Lily laughed "Sorry she was so rude to everyone, she's like that a lot because she's a muggle. She calls everyone from Hogwarts freaks she's just jealous or something." Lily explained. Lily sat down again and as she did a medium sized gray owl she recognized as Suffie's owl Twink came flying in the open kitchen window. The owl smacked into Remus and dropped the letter it had in Lily's cereal and started eating the Cornflakes from James's bowl. Lily wiped the parchment off, opened it, and started to read it.

Dear Lil,
I hope you get this soon Twink has been very out of it lately. I wanted to know if I could stay at your house for a few days until my Aunt returns and then I can go stay with her. I just need to get out of this crazy house and my Aunt doesn't come back from vacation for 3 days or so. Please let me come.
Your Friend,
Suffie

"Who's it from?" James said with his mouth full of cereal. Lily looked at him oddly.

"Do you mind not talking with your full? Its from Suffie she's going to come over and stay for a little." Lily ran into her bedroom grabbing a piece of parchment, quill, and ink and then went back in the kitchen sitting down to write her letter telling Suffie she could come. Suffie had light brown hair with blonde highlights in it. The tips curled out into many tiny little layers at the bottom and was a little bit shorter than shoulder length. She had green eyes and was about 5 foot 1 inches tall. She was pretty but only had a few friends, Lily being her best friend of course. Suffie had two older brothers and a Father, her Mother had died in an accident and she had a rough time living with three guys and no females around so she stayed at her Aunts a lot during the summer. Lily finally finished writing a letter telling her to come over and tied it to the owls leg. The owl ate another Cornflake and flew out the open kitchen window. Lily looked over and saw that Sirius was still dripping wet.

"Since Blacks still soaking wet do you all want to go swimming?" Lily asked. They all decided to go swimming and went to get changed. The boys finished first didn't even wait up for her they were already splashing about the pool. Lily was up stairs in her bedroom, she put on her bathing suit. She was kind of embarrassed because it was a two piece. 'I don't care what I look in front of people in school so why should I care know' she thought. It wasn't very revealing or anything , the top stopped right above her belly button and the bottoms were the type that are almost like shorts. Both pieces were light blue and purpled striped and they were sort of sparkly, but the suit looked very good with her orange hair. She grabbed a few towels for when they got out and went outside. She set them down on one of the chairs that surrounded the pool. She looked up and saw James looking at her, Sirius and Remus paid no attention but instead were splashing and dunking each other under the water. 'woah...I think I'm imagining this. That can't be Lily she looks so different than at school, she looks nice! Arg, I have to stop thinking like this, I can't like her like that. I can be friends with her though I guess, that would be okay.' James thought still staring at her. Lily on the other hand was getting disgusted. She glared at him and then jumped in the pool splashing everyone.

"Oh so its going to be like that huh Lily" Sirius said and then splashed her back. She laughed and closed her eyes when the water hit her. Without opening them she splashed back. She heard a girl scream 'what the...' she thought knowing there where no other girls except her in the pool.

" You could atleast wait until I have my bathing suit on Lil" a girl laughed. It was Suffie.

"Oh Suffie! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to!" Lily apologized while lifting herself out of the pool. "How did you get her so fast you don't live nearby at all!"

"I flew here, and I didn't exactly wait for you to owl back I knew it would be ok and I just had to get away from them. They are horrible, guys are such jerks I swear." Suffie said. Someone in the pool coughed. Suffie looked at there direction. "Oi, I'm sorry, talking about boys Lily what are you doing with all these?" She said laughing.

"Both our parents are on vacation so I'm being forced to spend two whole weeks with them." Lily replied rolling her eyes.

"So your parents left you here with three guys, geeze Lils you should have owled me sooner." Suffie joked.

"Yea right their horrors, if I were you I would leave as soon as I could and bring my best friend with me, hint hint!" Lily said.

"You do realize were still here correct?" Remus said

"Besides Lily you can't deny the fact that you love us here with you" Sirius joked.

"Oh merlin, your parents left you with Potter, Lupin, and Black!" She said just recognizing who they were "do they realize what they did?"

"I don't think they cared to much." Lily said laughing

"Well now you have another girl to stay with you, trust me my brothers and father are worse than those three." She said pointing at the trio. "Please tell me Petunia isn't home."

"Nope, she's staying at a friends house luckily."

"Good, that girl is indeed a jerk." Suffie said "May I put my stuff up in your room?" She said picking up her broom and a backpack.

"Yes, here I'll help you." Lily said taking Suffie's backpack as they walked into the house leaving the boys alone together in the pool.

That night everyone decided to sleep in the living room together. They had put their sleeping bags in a circle and were talking. They order was Lily, Suffie, Remus, Sirius, and then James and since they were in a circle that put James next to Lily. Suffie and Lily were talking about what they had done over vacation so far and James, Sirius, and Remus were discussing how they needed to think up more pranks they were going to pull of the Slytherins because they didn't nearly have enough thought up.

"We haven't even thought up a good enough one to do to them on the first day we get back!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Don't worry we'll think of something we always do." James said.

"Okay, this is getting boring" Lily said.

"You guys thinking what I am" Remus said to James and Sirius.

"What? A little game of truth or dare marauder style?" James asked

"Dare I ask what the difference between normal truth or dare and truth or dare marauder style is?" Suffie asked while rolling her eyes at them. James jumped up and went into the kitchen everyone followed. He went through the cupboards until he found a huge bowl and he set it on the counter, then he opened the fridge.

"Okay, now what genius?" Lily asked.

"Put anything in the bowl and make it the grossest mixture you possible can, you can start Lily" James said smirking. Lily step up to the fringe.

"Um ok, sure" She took out a can, opened it and dumped it in the bowl. "Tuna, does that work?"

"Sure does" James said still smirking. The others looked at each other as if saying who's next.

"Lady's first" Remus said gesturing to Suffie.

"Then shouldn't Black go?" Suffie said jokingly.

"Ha ha ha, my sides, don't make me laugh so hard Suf" Sirius said sarcastically. Suffie laughed and stepped forward.

"How about....chocolate syrup!" She said and squeezed some into the bowl on top the tuna. Remus went next.

"Coca cola!" he said grinning and put a little in the bowl. Sirius went next. He put in ketchup and then James who put in vanilla ice-cream. They continued going around putting stuff in until the bowl was almost full. It was now full of a mixture that you would never even think about eating. James stirred it up with a long spoon.

"Oh my, that is horribly gross" Suffie said with her hand over her mouth. Everyone agreed.

"What is the point of this Potter?" Lily asked

"We are going to play truth or dare. Anyone who doesn't take the truth or dare has to eat a spoonful of this!" He said smirking as he held the spoon up high and let some of the mixture drip into the bowl. The boys were smiling and the girls looked grossed out. They all went back in the living room and sat on there sleeping bags the put the nasty mixture it the middle of the circle that sat in.

"Okay, there are only three rules. One, you can give them a choice like for a dare you can be like 'you can either do this or you can do this' and the person gets to choose. Two, nothing to perverted people lets keep this PG-13, and three you don't do the dare or truth and you must eat the mixture. Any one not willing to eat that stuff but knows they might not take the dare or truth than just sit out and don't play." James said looking around "Ok who wants to start?" The game had begun with Sirius. They had been playing for at least and hour and no one had not taken a dare or truth because they didn't want to eat the mixture. It was now James turn.

"Remus, truth or dare?" James asked him. Remus thought for a moment.

"Dare." He said confidently.

"I dare you to...either kiss Suffie or Sirius!" James said as everyone broke out into laughter. Sirius batted his eyelashes at Remus.

"Oh Remy pick me!" he said in a girly voice.

"Um that scares me, stop that!" Remus said to Sirius. He turned and quickly kissed Suffie on the lips. Suffie sat there for a moment and then started blushing.(AN if you have read my other story, which you should, called Adjusting, you'd know Suffie is also in it and I'm going to make Remus and Suffie have a crush on each other, It has nothing to do with this story at all I just like the character I made up with Remus lol) Remus blushed to and the quickly asked Lily truth or dare.

"Truth" Lily said.

"How come you act and dress so differently at school than you are now." He asked.

"I..I..I don't know, I just do. I have only one friend and why should I bother looking nice at school, I don't want to be like one of those stuck up snobs." She said.

"Brushing you hair and wearing nice clothing doesn't exactly make you a snob, and you have only one friend because you don't seem to bother to make any friends." Remus said. Lily ignored him. "Potter truth or dare" she said.

"Dare" he said. Lily looked around her eyes landing on the mixture.

"Eat a spoonful" She said.

"Wh..what? what are you talking about?" He said.

"Eat a spoonful of the mixture we just made." She said.

"Aw come on that's got to be against the rules or something that cant count." He argued.

"No, its not against the rules remember there are only the three YOU made up." She stated. He gulped, even if he didn't take the dare he'd still have to eat that slop.

"Fine! Damn this is horrible." He mumbled. He went up to the bowl and lifted a small spoonful out. Everyone was looking at him. He pinched his nose and shoved the spoon in his mouth, swallowed, threw the spoon back into the bowl, and then got up and ran to the bathroom. Slight barfing noises were then heard. Everyone made a grossed out face. After a while he came back out. He looked slightly pale.

"Never ever again will I eat that stuff, Sirius truth or dare." He said his voice sounding kind of shaky.

"Dare"

"I dare you to stick your hand in that slop and keep it in there for a minute." He said. Sirius got up and did it. Then went in the kitchen and washed his hand off. He then came back and sat down.

"The only thing scary about that dare was that I thought something in there was going to bite my hand off." Sirius said laughing. "Lily truth or dare."

"Dare" she said slightly unsure.

"Its getting kind of late so lets make this the last dare. Now to avenge my friend, this will be a horrible dare for you because he had to eat that nasty stuff." He said with an evil cackle. Everyone started staring at him "Um yea just kidding, at least sort of....Lily I dare you to sleep the rest of the night in James sleeping bag with him!"

"What!" everyone yelled out at once.

"nothing perverted you just have to share a sleeping bag" Sirius explained.

"Bud, that is not avenging me!" James yelled.

"Yeah well I had to put my hand in that stuff so there" Sirius said and then laughed quickly "So Lil what will it be." Lily remember what was in that bowl.

"I'm not eating that, Potter move over" She said. James glared at her. She got in the same sleeping bag as him. "This is so embarrassing..."

"You better not tell anyone at school about this" He said.

"Like I'd want to." She said and then fell asleep like everyone else had.

In the mourning

The sun was shining through the curtains as Lily yawned and turned around in her sleep. She bumped into something, not realizing it, she also didn't realize the pair of arms that were now wrapped around her waist. She moved closer to an unrecognized source of warmth. James also stirred in his sleep not remembering what happened last night or opening his eyes. He felt something in his arms and not realizing it tightened his grip a bit. Then all of a sudden both realized what was going on. There eyes quickly opened. Lily saw James and felt his arms around her and she let out a scream. When she did James also screamed.

"Potter let go of me!" Lily yelled. James realized his arms were around her waist and let go. As he did Lily bolted out of the sleeping bag. Remus, Sirius, and Suffie were already awake and dressed and were now rolling on the floor laughing.

"Suffie how come you didn't wake me up!?" Lily asked.

"I'm sorry Lils you two just looked so cute and we need to take the photos!" She explained.

"Photos!?" Lily and James both yelled.

"Umm I vote we all go eat breakfast now" Remus said. Suffie pulled Lily into the kitchen with her.

'I was just holding her! It felt great to have my arms wrapped around her, I wish she could be mine. What the hell am I thinking! I think I've gone off the deep end...' James thought. He shook his head and then went into the kitchen with Sirius and Remus.

Lily got some bowls and cereal for everyone at the table. She took a seat next to Suffie who was across from Remus and Sirius. James had taken a seat at the front of the small table. Suffie smiled.

"Your going to get me some copies of those pictures right?" She asked. Lily and James both dropped there spoons into their bowls.

"You guys better be joking and if not, I have two words for you...burn them." Lily said.

" Yea, Sirius, Remus, you better get rid of those pictures" James threatened.

"Don't worry were just kidding" Sirius said winking quickly only Remus and Suffie noticing it. The rest of the breakfast was quiet. Lily was almost done with her cereal. She looked up and saw Remus looking her way 'No he's looking at Suffie!' she thought 'Hmm I think Remus has a crush and they were both blushing pretty bad last night when he kissed her' she giggled to herself at the thought.

"You know we should go into town today and get groceries, my parents didn't leave us we much food to begin with and after making that crap last night, well they left me money for groceries so I guess we can walk and get some." Lily said.

After breakfast, they played in the pool a little then went inside and made some sandwiches for lunch, after everyone took turns taking showers and got dressed. Lily put on an emerald green halter top and tan shorts. Suffie put Lily's hair into two braids. She was wearing a sparkly yellow tube top and jean shorts. She had two yellow star shaped clips on either side of her head. They both walked downstairs to find the boys all their waiting.

"Girls take way to long to get ready" they all mumbled. Lily and Suffie rolled there eyes.

"Well we wanted to look good" Suffie said.

"We didn't take as long, are you saying we don't look good?" James asked. He was wearing white muscle tee with a red shirt over it that he left unbuttoned and black shorts. Sirius was wearing a green tee shirt and tan shorts, and Remus had on a white muscle tee and black shorts with a blue summer jacket around his waist.

"yes...yes I am" Lily said and walked outside. Suffie followed laughing and the boys also walked outside.

"It's not far from here, but no talk about wizarding stuff this is a muggle town, and absolutely no pranks got that" Lily said glaring at the boys.

"Lily dear, where would you ever get the idea that we would prank on innocent people in that town?" Sirius said.

"Your treating us like we're...we're" James started.

"Bad boys?" Remus said.

"Exactly" James said. Lily and Suffie once again rolled their eyes and started walking down the road. After about 10 minutes they finally got there.

"Ok how about James and Sirius come with me to go get groceries and Suffie you've been here a bunch of times how about you show Remus around, we can all meet back here in about an hour." Lily said. A girl with curly brown hair walked by. Sirius looked at his friends and then back at the girl who had just walked by.

He started slowly walking away "Um you guys don't worry about me I'll meet you back here in an hour" he said and ran off to find the girl who had walked by.

"Well that's Sirius for ya." James mumbled.

"Come on James, meet you and Remus back here in an hour Suf" Lily said and dragged James into the grocery store.

"Well you seem anxious to leave everyone else except me" James said raising an eyebrow.

"Don't flatter yourself Potter, I think Remus and Suffie like each other, and I thought they should spend some time alone." Lily explained.

"Oh, okay, he hasn't said anything to us about liking her though." James said.

"It so obvious though" Lily said.

"Well then would you like to make a bet?" He said smirking.

"Okay, 7 galleons says that by the end of the year at Hogwarts they will have gone out." (AN- I looked through the chapters I already wrote and I don't think I put it anywhere what year they are all going in so I'm just going to make it that they are going into their 5th year at Hogwarts.)
"You got a deal" James said and shook her hand to make it final.

Lily took a grocery basket and started walking down the first isle, James followed behind her.

elsewhere

"Um I don't exactly know what to show you, there aren't may stores. It's a very small town. There's a diner, grocery store, ice cream parlor, book store, and a few other small shops." Suffie said.

"Well we can just go to the ice cream parlor, maybe get an ice cream and just sit and talk or something." Remus suggested. Suffie began to smile.

"Sure! That sounds great." She replied. She led the way down the street until they got to a small store that had a patio on the front with some tables and chairs on it. They walked in and a small bell rang as they did.

"Suffie, I don't really have any of this kind if money" Remus said, all he had on him was wizard money.

"Its ok, Lily gave me some before she went off with James." Suffie explained. They started looking through the flavors. A man came over and asked if he could help them.

"I think I'll just have a scoop of chocolate." Remus said.

"And you miss" The man asked Suffie.

" Rainbow Sherbet, please" Suffie asked. The man handed them the ice cream and Suffie paid him the money, and then followed Remus who walked out of the store, the bell ringing again as he they left, and sat down at one of the tables outside.

"So, why did you come to stay at Lily's too?" Remus asked " Not that I'm complaining." (AN- if you remember only Lily knows why she came)

"Oh, my mother died when I was little and I was left with my Father and two older annoying brothers. I usually go to my Aunts when they make me start to go crazy but she's on vacation. I love them don't get me wrong its just rough having no girls in the house."

"Are you a muggle born like Lily or a pure-blood?" He asked

"Oh, I'm a pure blood. One of my brothers is in 7th year and the other already graduated"

"He must be in a different house because you're the only Moon I know in Gryffindor" He said (AN-I'm pretty sure I already said it but Moon is Suffie's last name for anyone who forgot, kind of ironic that Remus is getting a crush on a girl with the last name Moon considering he's a werewolf and afraid of the moon o.O, yea moving on....)

"Yea, he's in Ravenclaw, I don't even know why I'm in Gryffindor I'm hardly brave at all." She mumbled. The sky was now slightly darker and it had grown colder especially with the wind that was now blowing. Suffie shivered, and Remus stood up he took his jacket that was around his waist and gave it to her.

"We better go find the others and go I think there's going to be a storm" Remus said.

"Yea your right, and uh thanks." Suffie said and stood up also while putting the jacket on. They started walking down the street. They knew where Lily and James were but they had to find Sirius. They walked by all the shops looking in their windows trying to find him. They finally spotted him with a girl in the diner. They both walked in.

"Sirius we have to leave a little early its going to start to rain soon." Remus said.

"Aww do we have to?" He asked.

"Yes, now" Suffie said as Remus and her dragged him out of the diner, the girl just sat the a little confused, she shrugged, and continued eating.

"Fine it's not like I was ever going to see her again, where are James and Lily?" Sirius asked.

"Still grocery shopping. I hope there done, I don't want to walk home in the rain" Suffie said as she led them towards the grocery store.

"Lily are we almost done yet?" James complained.

"Yes, I don't know what your complaining about we haven't even been here long." She said. James shrugged.

"I guess we haven't bought enough junk food." He said and smirked. Lily grabbed a single bag of chips.

"There, now lets go pay" She said and walked to the cash register, both Lily and James had a basket full of food, they didn't want to bother and grab a shopping carriage. The unloaded the food. James went and put it in paper bags. The lady working the cash register gave them their total and Lily paid her. There were three paper bags.

"Here take that one I'll grab the other two." James said.

"You sure?" She said, he looked at her and nodded. They walked out of the store and saw Suffie, Remus, and Sirius coming towards them.

"Oh hey guys, I thought we weren't meeting for like another 15 minutes?" Lily said.

"It looks like there's going to be a storm" Remus said.

"We should start to go to your house before it rains" Suffie added. Lily looked up.

"Yea your right, it's getting cold out too." Lily said as they started walking. James took one of the bags he was holding and shoved it at Sirius to hold. Sirius took it and sighed. James looked at him funny.

"What's up with him?" James asked.

"He had to leave a girl he met" Suffie said she rolled her eyes. "Poor little lover boy, it'll be ok" She said in a baby voice while pinching his cheek.

"He'll live he'll find another girl and be over it." James said. He looked at Lily a drop of water fell on her cheek.

"Oh, darn I think it's starting to rain." Lily sighed. It started to lightly rain.

"Great now were all going to be soaking wet" Suffie complained.

"Chill out you two it's just a light rain" Remus said. Sirius and James agreed with him, as if they asked for it, the rain starting getting heavier and it was now pouring out. They all broke out into run and finally got to the house. Lily shut and locked the door behind them. They were all soaking wet.

"Lets go put the groceries away." Lily said and went in the kitchen. A while past and it had started thundering and lightning out. They had put on their pajamas and where in the living room playing wizards chess. James had just beat Sirius and was playing against Lily.

"I play winner." Remus said. All of a sudden there was a huge clap of thunder and all the lights went off. Suffie let out a quick scream.

"Oh merlin what happened?" Lily said franticly.

"Power went out" Sirius said.

"I think I can see that Sirius" She said.

"Hey, you asked!"

"I'll be right back" Lily said. She ran out of the room as best she could and came back a few minutes alter.

"Here I got some...." She started but tripped over something. "Ow!"

"How are you hurt you landed on me I'm the hurt one" James said and laughed. Lily quickly got off him.

"Oh, I'm um sorry." She said "I found two flash lights" She turned them both on. "How about two of us take one of these flashlights and go upstairs and look for candles or other flashlights and the rest of us will search down here."

"I'll go, I've already been to your house before so I know where the rooms are and stuff upstairs" Suffie volunteered.

"I'll go with her." Remus also said quickly. Lily handed Remus the flashlight and he followed Suffie upstairs.

"Get ready to lose Potter" She said referring to their bet.

"Shut up" He said.

"What are you two arguing about now?" Sirius asked

"We made a bet" Lily said.

"She thinks Remus and Suffie like each other and we made a bet" James explained.

"Oh, come on James don't tell me you said you thought they didn't" Sirius said, James nodded. "Shame on you, it's so obvious they do, you might as well pay Lily now"

"Yea well he never told us he did so I figured he didn't" James said. Lily and Sirius were laughing. "Whatever lets just go find some candles."

Meanwhile

"Ow" Remus said as he tripped.

"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to tell you that there was a rug there, are you ok?" Suffie said while helping him up.

"Yea I'm fine, I hope we find some candles or something because this isn't a very good flashlight." Remus said. They started walking again and looking through the rooms. Everything lit up every once in a while from the lightning which was soon followed by thunder.

"I can't find anything!" Suffie said frustrated. "Oh hey maybe the hallway closet!" She said and dragged Remus toward it (AN-Everyone knows what a hallway closet is right? Just like a closet in the hallway for stuff. Maybe I'm the only, I hope not lol, I swear I'm not crazy. Any way I'm going to use an idea that some one who reviewed gave me, umm if I remember correctly there penname was Vega Black [THANK YOU!], also as I was writing this, I got a review from , Amadrieclya [THANK YOU!], and she gave me a suggestion on what to write in this story and I don't want to spoil it but all I have to say to is that you are seriously a mind reader lol cause that was exactly my idea to! ) The closet had various items in it and was a little bigger than a normal closet. Suffie walked in and started rummaging through things.

"Remus, come in her with the flashlight I can't see a thing." She said. He walked in, shutting the door behind him. He held the flash light towards her so she could see.

"AHA! I finally found some candles" She yelled out.

"Good, lets go bring them downstairs.' He turned and went to open the door. The doorknob fell off in his hand.

"What are you waiting for?" Suffie asked.

"Um we have a problem. The doorknob fell off." Remus said.

"Are you sure?!" She said franticly

"Um, the doorknob is in my hand, yes I'm positive"

"Well excuse me"

"Sorry that came out rude"

"Its ok" Suffie said, as Remus started to try to ram the door down.

"Its not going to open and no one can probably hear us, the lighting is to loud." Suffie said to him. "Besides how long can it take for them to realize we're gone?" Remus began laughing.

"Think about what you just said." He replied. Suffie sat down and sighed.

"We could be here for a while."

Back downstairs

They had found some candles in the kitchen and lit them all around the living room. James and Lily had begun their game of wizards chess again, Sirius was watching.

"Anyone feel as if were forgetting something?" Lily asked.

"Not really, you Sirius?" James said.

"Umm I can't think of a thing" Sirius said.

"Well we already knew that..." Lily joked.

A while had past, and Suffie and Remus were still stuck in the closet. It was still thundering and lightning so even if they tried to yell to the others it most likely wouldn't have been heard.

" Remus how long have we been in here!?" Suffie asked. They were both sitting next to each other.

"I don't know a couple hours I suppose." He answered.

"They are so dense! How can they not notice us missing?" Suffie yelled.

"Calm down it's not as if we're going to be stuck in here forever." Remus said trying to make Suffie not as upset.

"It might as well be forever I'm starving!" She said while putting a hand on her stomach and frowning. Remus stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out some items.

"Here eat this" he said handing her something. " It's chocolate, I also have some every flavor jelly beans we can split." Suffie took the chocolate he handed her and broke it in half.

"Here, you have some too." She said. Remus shook his head.

"It's ok, you eat it" he replied.

"I'll feel horrible if I eat it in front of you, please take half" she pleaded. He shook his head again.

"I don't need it I'm not as hungry, now eat it before I make you." He said laughing and popped a jelly bean in his mouth. As soon as he did he spit it out and made a funny face. Suffie laughed.

"What flavor was it?" she asked.

"It tasted like fish sticks or something. Not a good flavor for a jelly bean." He said. "Here try....this one!" he said pulling out a dark brown one. She popped it into her mouth.

"Tastes like coffee" She said, she swallowed it but scrunched up her face, she didn't like coffee.

"Hey, that's better than fish sticks!" He yelled, Suffie giggled. They both took another and ate it at the same time.

"Strawberry!" "Whipped cream!" They both yelled out at the same time. Suffie giggled again and Remus smiled. Suffie's stomach growled.

"I told you to eat that chocolate, your starving" Remus said. Suffie sighed and took a bite of it.

"I still feel bad about you not having any " She said.

"You know this could be..." Remus started to say but the flashlight went out. Remus smacked it a few times, and then sighed when it wouldn't turn on. "I was going to say this could be worse but forget that" The closet was now pitch black.

"What should we do? There are matches in the bag with the candles but I don't think it would be good to light one because if it gets knocked over or something and the closet catches on fire we'll be stuck in here!" she shivered slightly at the thought of being burned to death.

"Lets light just one, I'll make sure it doesn't knock over. We'll probably be stuck here all night so we'll have to put it out before we go to sleep." He said.

"Unless the thunder stopped then maybe sooner we'll get out..." She said softly " I hate thunder and lighting it always freaks me out..." She said and moved a little closer to Remus.

James, Sirius, and Lily hadn't eaten dinner they just had some junk food instead. They were just hanging around and playing games.

"I still feel like we're forgetting something..." Lily said.

"Its getting late maybe we should all get to sleep" James said and everyone agreed. They went and got in there sleeping bags. Lily laid down and then sat up again and stared around her. Sirius and James saw her and sat up also.

"What's up Lils?" Sirius asked.

"One...two...three..." She counted slowly pointing to each of them "One...two...three?!" She said again, Sirius and James now looked at her oddly.

"Lily what are you talking about?" James asked.

"There are only the three of us! Where is Suffie and Remus?" She asked worriedly.

"Merlin your right. I haven't seen those two since they went up stairs to find candle hours ago!" James said.

"Heh, I wonder what they've been doing up there for so long" Sirius said raising his eye brows up and down. Lily chucked a pillow at his head.

"Sirius, don't be a perv" She said.

"I was only kidding!" He said.

"Come on, let's go find them" James said.

Suffie and Remus sat there they had a candle lit and put it on one of the shelves above them. Suffie sighed.

"What?" Remus asked her. She looked up at him.

"Nothing...you know this really hasn't been that bad, I mean I had fun some of the time we've been stuck in here." She said looking down.

"Yea, I agree" He said. Suffie jumped as there was a huge clap of thunder. "Um...Suffie?"

"Yes" She said and looked up at him as soon as she did he bent down and kissed her. Suffie's eyes went wide but then she slowly closed them and kissed him back. It had only been a few seconds when the door opened and a flashlight beamed in there faces. They both split apart immediately.

"Awww, how cute" Lily said giggled. "Looks like you owe me some money Potter" she said grinning.

"Just because they kiss Evans doesn't mean they are going out so I owe you nothing." He said smirking. All of a sudden all the lights turned on at once everyone looked up at them.

"Finally, I was getting sick of not having power..." Sirius said. Suffie and Remus stood up. Suffie blew out the candle.

"Hey, at least you didn't get stuck in a closet." Remus said.

"You didn't seem to be having that bad a time Moony" Sirius said smirking.

"Shut up" Both Remus and Suffie said at the same time. Both him and Suffie were blushing horribly.
