Chapter Seven; Christmas with the Marauders

By the time they've arrived at Lily's house, the sun was setting. They finnaly arrived, and the children saw a very large Victorian Style mansion, restored and made of very fine hard wood. It was so big that the children were craning up and their necks were hurting for looking up so much. Only the Evans was not that awestruck. Even Casey and James were amazed even though their houses were roughly the same size.

James was awestruck because, even though his house was the same size, his house lacked the warm cozy feeling inside, because his parents were always away.

Casey was awestruck because her house was just empty, with her living her there with just her pets and the servants and the local children for company. Casey never went out, because the children there will just tease her and be scared of her. The servants live in fear of Voldemort's return to claim his daughter that they were rarely seen.

Inside, the children were even more amazed. The house had ten bedrooms, four bathrooms a very large living and dining room and an enormous backyard. It was a Japanese garden, making it very beautiful.

As soon as Petunia went inside the house, she headed straight to her room, not wanting to take part in a y more 'freaky' activities, as she calls it.

"You guys are going to have room each," Lily was saying. "And the rooms are connected so our rooms are connected one with another!"

"Great!" Sirius said enthusiastically.

A group of men picked up their trunks and carried it to the rooms. Lily had the nearest room to the stair. James the next one to her, then Remus', then Casey's and then Sirius'. Petunia didn't have the room next to it. She had her room on the next floor, trying to keep away from Lily and her friends as far as possible.

Having a connecting room with your friends can be a good thing. Of course. It also had its disadvantages, as Sirius and Casey were soon to find out.

Sirius was curious about Casey's relative connection to Voldemort and decided to ask her some questions. He burst into the connecting door and started talking right away. "Hey Casey, I-" he stopped short as he realised that he burst in to the room while Casey was changing.

She was wearing nothing but a short pair of shorts and a red bra. She was about to put on a long red shirt when Sirius burst in. Sirius was flushing beet red, but he didn't look down. He was taking in Casey's body.

She wasn't really fat, as she always claimed that she was. In fact, she had very long slim legs and a perfect body for her figure. She really wouldn't have trouble if she ever went to the career of modeling. She would fit right in.

Sirius didn't really realise that she was staring at her until Casey hit his head with her shoe.

"Ouch! What did you do that for?" Sirius said, rubbing his head.

"You were gaping at me like an idiot!" she retorted, flushing a little. "I just did that to knock you to your senses. Now get out of here, I gotta change."

Sirius took one better look at her body and then quickly left the door, still using the connecting door. After he slammed the door shut, he leaned onto it and breathe a sigh of relief, glad that Casey didn't go to extreme measures to get him out.

"So, what have you been doing in her room, huh?" a voice said.

Sirius almost jumped a foot. Then he saw that James was siting on hi bed, with a little sly smile on his face. "James, it's you."

"Who else goes into your room without knocking?" James asked. "So what did you two do in her bed? And why are you so red like that? You look like you jut saw her naked."

Sirius just stared at him. How'd he know? James saw his look and his face brightened. "Well?" he asked.

"Well what?" Sirius asked calmly, keeping his cool.

"Sirius, are you telling me that you saw Casey, the girl that turns you on and you can't live a day without, naked?" James asked seriously. Then he started bursting with laughter.

Sirius was getting a bit annoyed. Here was his best friend, who goes into his room without knocking and then starts to ask personal questions. But then, Sirius thought that best friend were suppose to do that.

Sirius went red again. "Well, I didn't see her naked." Sirius said. James was disappointed. "I saw her with just her bra and a very short pair of shorts." Sirius was very red now.

James perked up again. "Well, that's better than nothing." He said. "What's it like?"

Sirius just shook his head and said, "Forget it, James."

"I wouldn't be able to forget it unless you tell me what her body was like!" James half-shouted.

Sirius cannot believe how horny his best friend was. But seeing that he can't lie to his best friend and that if they don't move, Casey might be hearing every single word that was coming out of their mouths, he said after they moved away from Casey' door. "Ok, I'll tell you." He took a deep breath. "Her body is beauty queen material."

James' eyes widen. "Whoa! that good?"

Sirius nodded. The he glared at James. "Prongs, please you have to promise me that you will never ever tell anyone we talked about this. Pretend that this conversation never happened." Sirius begged.

"What conversation never happened, Padfoot?" James asked innocently.

Sirius grinned. "Good man." He said. "Now, come on. Lily's giving us a tour of her mansion."

A/n: Thank you so so much for the reviews guys! If you have any ideas, I'll put it in my fic and I'll make sure that you get the credit. Thank you so so much! I'm sorry this is the worst chapter I've written for this story! I'm sorry again! Flames are very welcome and then after I've read them, I'll feed them to Buckbeak. Yes, Sirius and Buckbeak are currently watching what I type to make sure that I write nothing about them. Did I mention that Sirius is an idiot? (Punched in the arm by an annoyed Sirius).

Me: What did you do that for? That hurts!

Sirius: Awwww, is wittle Casey Wasey hurtie wurtie?

Me: Shut up, or I'm gonna make sure that Buckbeak pecks you and pecks you hard.

Sirius: Ha! Think you can do it? Buckbeak is loyal to me.

Me: *fuming* You are so lucky that I'm not evil enough to turn you in to the Dementors.

Sirius: You wouldn't do that, would you? *Worriedly*

Me: Of course not! James and Lily will haunt me and Remus might attack me! And besides, you're innocent.

Sirius: Yeah, but not many people know that.

Me: Yes, they do! Think of those who read the Harry Potter books, they know. I say they march to Rowling and write in the next book that you'll be pronounced innocent. Go on.

Sirius: Maybe I should. Mmmm, ok. I'll go. See you later!

Sirius leaves.

Me: Bye!!!!! (to readers) Now that he' gone, I'll coax Buckbeak to be loyal to me and I'll start with the next chapter. Oh, and review!
