Sorry for not updating in quite a while. I've been dreadfully busy with mid-terms, and I just got Spring Break all last week, so I've been pre-occupied. Forgive me?

"Mum, have you seen my new jeans?" Lily yelled down the stairs to my mother who had just started cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Today was the day that James and Sirius would be moving into the guest bedroom of Lily's house and staying there for at least one month of the summer before their seventh year at Hogwarts.

"What was that, Lily dear?" Violet Evans yelled back to her youngest daughter.

"My jeans, Mum! Where are they?"

"Honey, come downstairs, I can't hear what you're saying up there." Violet called back to Lily.

As Lily ran down the stairs wrapped in a towel she ran into her sister.

"Oh, sorry Petunia. I didn't watch where I was going." She apologized hurriedly to her sister.

"It's alright, Lily. Oh, and I know where your jeans are." Petunia said. She motioned for Lily to follow her back up the stairs. When they reached the laundry room near Petunia's room she reached into the small round laundry basket sitting utop the dryer.

"They're in here somewhere, Lily. Come find me once you're dressed and all and I can help you find shoes to go with your outfit."

"Thanks, 'Tuney."

"No problem." And with that Petunia left Lily at the bathroom to finish getting dressed and drying her hair.

Half an hour later Lily came down the stairs and waltzed into the kitchen, grabbing three blueberry pancakes and sat down at the counter.

"These are delicious, Mum!" Lily said to her mother sitting across the counter.

"Thank you, dear. But hurry up and finish eating. We need to clean up before the Potters get here. They're coming over at nine and already it's eight." Violet told her daughter sternly, but kindly.

"Right, Mum. I'll finish tidying the guest room up and then help you with the kitchen if you aren't done."

Lily hurriedly finished her breakfast and walked through the living room to the room James and Sirius would be occupying quite soon. In half an hour if the clock on top of the television was correct.

Once finished with the guest room Lily went back into the kitchen where her mother was setting out a plate of appetizers for Mr. and Mrs. Potter to eat when they arrived.

"Lily, dear, would you please go grab me a cloth so I can dust off the television and coffee table?"

"Sure, Mum. You go in and I'll get it."

Once done cleaning it was about five minutes past nine. Suddenly there was a loud crack in the kitchen and Lily inwardly groaned. She had hoped that they wouldn't apparate into her home, but apparently hoping was all she could do.

Violet Evans jumped at the loud noise and hurried off to the kitchen with Lily trailing close behind.

"Mum!" Lily called quickly. When her mother turned around she quickly explained that it was the Potters and Sirius arriving by the ways that wizards did, which seemed to calm Violet down quite considerably.

When Lily and Violet came into the kitchen Mrs. Potter was scolding her husband.

"I thought I said no apparating into their home. What if you've gotten the location wrong? What if you had landed on someone or in the open? What if -" She trailed off when she noticed Lily. Or rather, when James yelled Lily's name from across the kitchen. "Oh dear. I am so sorry about this, Violet. I told him not to use magic to get here, but you know men. They've always got to have it their way or no way."

"Yes. I am sorry about the commotion we've caused." Mr. Potter apologized quickly with a slight blush creeping across his cheeks.

"Oh no. It's fine. I just wasn't expecting it, that's all. Lily didn't tell me that wizards and witched could appear by popping places." Violet said with a smile. "Now Lily, why don't you bring these two young men to their room and then take them on a tour of our home while I talk to Mr. and Mrs. Potter?"

"Alright." Lily replied while motioning to Sirius and James to follow. "C'mon, you two. Bring your luggage. I re-decorated the room myself. I really hope you like it."

Sirius stepped fowards with a flourish. "If you decorated it, Lily-flower, then I'm sure James will like it. And I'm sure I will at least tolarate it."

"Well thank you, Sirius." Lily replied sarcastically.

"Anytime."

When the three young Gryffindors reached the guest room James and Sirius ran into the room, which Lily had magically enlarged, and each jumped on the four poster bed with their seperate names on it. Lily giggled and blushed as Sirius ran across the room, grabbed Lily around the waist and threw her on James's bed.

"Hey!" Lily semi-shouted indignantly. "Let's just get on with the tour of my home. Try not to trash it, I rather like living here."

James smiled slightly while staring at Lily while she spoke.

As Lily showed the boys around her home Petunia came out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Petunia! This is James," Lily said, gesturing towards James, who was on her right. "And this is Sirius," Loily continued, gesturing to her left where the young man stood.

Petunia blushed and said, "Oh, are these the two boys staying with us for the summer?"

At this point Sirius sensed that Petunia felt flustered, and was blushing because of himself and James. "Why yes. Yes we are. Sirius Black, at your service." He stuck out his right hand and Petunia looked at it with slight disgust.

Turning back to Lily she said, "Well I'm going out for the rest of the day with my boyfriend. Don't expect me to be home anytime soon. Tell Mum I'll be out past curfew."

"Petunia . . ."

"No, Lily. No arguing, just tell her, alright?" With that Petunia Evans stalked off and down the stairs.

"Man, what's eating her insides?" James asked in an undertone.

"Nothing. She just doesn't like magical people. I did warn you, you know."

"Yes, I know. I just thought you were over-emphasizing it."

"Well let's get on with the tour, shall we?"

They finished the tour quickly and returned down to the kitchen where the adults were socializing with eachother.

Mr. Potter stood up and said, "Well I think we ought to get going. You know how to contact us now, so if anything happens please let us know right away."

"Oh don't worry, we will. I'm sorry that you can't stay longer, I enjoyed your company. Stop by anytime. Just let me know in advanced so I'll be prepared." Violet replied.

"I will be sure to do that." Mrs. Potter said with a smile. Then she spotted James and Sirius. "You two had better behave yourselves."

"We will." The two boys stated in unison. With that Mr. and Mrs. Potter disapparated with a pop.

Well, it's the longest chapter yet. You like it? Reviews, please.
