DISCLAIMER: Get this in your head, I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER!
Okay chapter 7… Here it goes…
It had only been fifteen minutes after Sonya's outburst, when the phone rang. Yvonne, who scared easily, jumped a mile. Lily walked to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Lily?"
"Yeah, hey mum."
"Lily, our flight is delayed and we can't get back tonight, we should be home early tomorrow morning, but are you girls going to be all right?"
"Yeah, mum. We'll be fine. You sound tired, go and get some sleep, and I'll see you in the morning."
"Okay dear. I'll see you in the morning." With that Lily hung up the phone.
"My parents and Petunia's flight has been delayed. They'll be here in the morning. As for the four morons, you'll be out now." Lily stated calmly.
"Au contraire. I don't believe we will be leaving now." Sirius said with his signature smirk on his face.
"Oh, but yes, you and your fellow mayhem creators, shall be leaving this instant."
"But, we don't really want to, Lily dearest."
"I don't care what you want Black, get out of this house now!" Lily ordered, her temper flaring.
"No." Said Sirius simply.
Remus and James both knew Lily and anger wasn't a good mix. "Come on Padfoot. We should get back soon anyway." Remus insisted.
"No, Moony, Prongs' parents are working from ten tonight to ten in the morning, we usually aren't there when they leave at night anyway, we could stay here all night if we wanted to…" Sirius smiled happily at this thought, anything that made the girls mad was fun for him.
"Padfoot, I agree with Moony, lets go." James said.
"No, I'm not leaving." Sirius said again.
Sonya was still angry with all of them and took out her wand. "Get out now." She ordered.
Sirius took out his wand quickly, and next thing we saw, Sirius had two wands, and Sonya had none.
"Like I said before, I don't plan on leaving."
"I think Sirius is right, I'm tired, and I don't want to walk down the street." Came Peter's voice.
"That's the spirit Wormtail!" Sirius exclaimed.
James and Remus looked at each other. They communicated silently for a moment, and decided, seeing no way except to leave their friends, which they wouldn't do, that they shall join Sirius and Peter's brigade to stay the night.
They both sat down, and that's when the girls realized that there was no hope…
"Fine. Lets go watch TV." Lily said, feeling defeated that she couldn't do anything to stop the boys.
They watched television for an hour or so, and everyone was asleep.
Sirius, Lily and Sonya were sprawled along the larger couch. Yvonne had the smaller couch to herself, and James in the armchair. Shay was off to the side on the floor, using her arms as a pillow because Sonya, still refusing to talk to Shay, wouldn't let her near the couch. And finally Peter, his head was on the floor, his body dangling off the back of the smaller couch. His legs were dangling off the other end, his feet in Yvonne's face.
Eight hours later, Lily's family walked into their living room, to find eight boys and girls scattered around the room, all fast asleep. Lily's father looked horridly angry, and Petunia was smiling as she walked over to wake Lily up, her mother seemed to need to talk to her.
Petunia shook her sister senseless, and Lily finally woke up, realizing immediately that she was in trouble. She walked into the kitchen where her parents stood waiting.
Her dad was the first to speak. "Lily, what did you think you were doing!? Throwing a party while we weren't here! We were expecting you and your three friends in your room asleep when we got home, instead, you throw a party and, who knows what you did!"
"But dad, it wasn't like that, I didn't-."
"Of course you didn't Lily! All there is to settle is, HOW DID THOSE BOYS GET INTO MY HOUSE!" Lily was certain her father had woken the whole community up, including the room of sleeping teens.
"But, we didn't throw a party, those boys are from my school, almost all of them can do magic, and they took Sonya's wand, we couldn't do anything, they wouldn't budge!" Lily tried to explain to her father what had happened, but he did not believe any of it.
"Lily, your friends are going to be going home later today. Your grounded until school starts, you got it?" Lily nodded, she knew she didn't really deserve this, but in a way, she had to put herself in her father's shoes, he was fuming…
"I'm going to go tell the girls to pack up, and send the boys home." Lily replied, and then left the room.
"Potter, take your friends back to your house. Girls, you have to leave later today, you should start gathering your things considering they're everywhere."
"What? Why do we have to leave!?" Shay asked.
"I'm grounded until school starts, I'll still write to you, if my dad lets me. I think you heard how mad he was."
"Yeah, well, I better go get my stuff that's in Tuney's room, before she finds that pair of old socks… Maybe I'll leave those here…" Shay mumbled as she walked up the stairs.
Lily sighed, last time she was grounded she had to stay in her room the whole time and Petunia brought her meals, after she threw half of the food in the garbage.
The boys got up to leave, and both James and Remus gave her an apologetic smile before heading to the door, she ignored it…
-----
A few hours later, Lily sat alone in her room, trying to think of something to do. Just then, she heard a knock on the front door, her mother answered it, so it sounded like, and before Lily could see whom it was, they were in the house.
Lily looked up the street to the Potter mansion. She had to admit, Potter was acting, better, than before. Shay told Lily that she should date him, but Lily stuck to the same answer, she would never date James Potter…
Lily couldn't hear anything clearly. She heard light voices, but none of which she could decipher.
Lily heard footsteps come up the stairs, and she looked to the door just as it opened.
"Lily, could you come downstairs please?" It was her mother. Lily got up and followed her into the living room, where Lily's father, Remus, and James sat waiting for them to come back.
Lily was slightly confused, but decided to just sit and listen to what her mother brought her down here for.
"Lily, is what these boys are telling us true?" Her mother asked.
"I don't know, what are they telling you?" Lily responded wearily.
"The same thing that you told us, that's what gives us reason to believe that you didn't have a party last night." Her mother said.
"Well, yeah, that's the truth." I'm glad you believe me now! Lily added angrily, but decided that she didn't want to be grounded anymore.
"Well, thank you boys for coming over here. Lily, you aren't grounded, and you can tell you friends they can come back tomorrow if they want to." Lily's father said.
"Thanks, dad." Lily said.
"Can you walk your friends to the door Lily?" Her mother asked.
"Yeah, mum. Come on." Once they were in the entrance hallway, she turned around and hugged them both. "Thanks." Was all she could think to say. They both smiled and walked away up the street.
A smile slowly crawled onto Lily's face. Tomorrow was her birthday, tomorrow morning (this night) at 12:03, she would be able to do magic, and Sirius Black would never expect her at midnight…
Okay, so I have bad news… I might update once more, but I'll be at my mum's for a week, and she doesn't have a computer. So you won't get an update from me until next Sunday or Monday. I know you're probably angry with this new, but as my teachers tell me, suck it up! Tell me what you thought of this chapter, or I will leave you hanging longer. I really will, I'll write them, and never put them up. So review!
