AN: I would just like to say how amazing all my reviewers are, I had given up on this story and I opened my email and saw all your reviews and words cannot express how happy I was, I can say however, that my 15 minute victory dance may have been involved… Anyhoo, I will write more!

Chap 2

James POV

When we finally got back at about 5 we were all tired, and, in some cases, bruised. Sirius had taken a very impressive wipe out on a slope, and made a crater in the piste, much to the amusement of the Swiss children who whizzed past us at light speed (seriously, what do they feed those kids, steroids!)

So when we got back no one could quite face the horror that would result if we tried cooking, so we went to a local restaurant for dinner. We were halfway through a discussion about whether cheese could be the cause of spontaneous combustion (just don't ask how we came to this subject) when in walked none other than Marlene Mckinnon and Rosa Shielding, some girls I knew slightly from my lily-stalking at school-I had followed lily around for 2 years, hoping to gain her affection. Unfortunately Sirius decided to join me in my ventures and, good friend that he is, tried to get lily as annoyed with me as possible. These attempts usually involved pus of some sort and lily's hair, and the result for me was never pretty.

Anyway the two girls, walked in, caught sight of us, and for some unknown reason immediately looked like incredibly amused. At this point I have to refer back to the wise words of my eight year old self, "girls are so weird…"

Lily POV

I was just walking in to the restaurant we'd decided to go to for dinner when I saw Rosa and Marlene standing in the entrance of the restaurant whispering and laughing about something. I couldn't be sure but I think I caught the sentence, "Lily will just LOVE this!" Strange, but they're probably just plotting a snowball ambush after dinner or som- OH. SWEET. MOTHER. OF. CHOCOLATE! Please tell I did not see what I thought I just saw, tell me it was an illusion or something, ANYTHING but the reality of me seeing potter and the munchkins sitting at a table. I chanced another look, and yes, it was them. Its official, the universe has got to have some sort of grudge against me.

I grabbed Rosa and Marlene by the arms. "You know, let's go somewhere else, this place is way too, um… hot"

"Too hot! Lily, we're at over a thousand six hundred meters" said Rosa

"And besides" said Marlene and I think I detected a hint of mischievousness in her voice, "I like the look of this place"
