~*~Chapter 10~*~
The next morning, I could hear a strange sound was I dreaming? I opened my eyes to see the Marauders playing a song on some Kazoo's that had been left over from the party. The girls were already awake.
"What the?" I asked and fell off the couch with a loud scream.
"Morning," Krista said. I smiled and climbed back onto the couch.
"You've missed the big news!" Lily said.
"What?" I asked brightly going into the kitchen.
"Sirius gave me a promise ring. Someday he's going to ask me to marry him!" Krista screeched sitting on Sirius' lap.
"Congrats," I said sipping some coffee.
"And there's more," Katie said.
"What? You're not having a baby?" I asked shocked. That was too much for me and I fainted to the floor. I could hear Krista stood over me, and I sort of came back to my senses.
"You alright?" James asked, as Sirius helped me to the couch.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Its just Krista having a baby!" I said still shocked.
"I'm not," Krista said laughing.
"Well thanks for letting me think that!" I said. Krista carried on laughing.
"The other news is that Chris is moving in with us today," Remus said over Krista's laughter.
"Really?" I said and went to get changed. Chris was moving in with them? Surely that would mean he would spend more time over here? Today we had planned to go and get our things for Lily and James' wedding, which would take place in a month's time. I was so busy thinking I realised I was pulling my sock onto my arm. I corrected all my clothing and went back into the Living Room.
"Are we all ready?" Lily asked.
"Yep," I said and disapparated to the shop.
We had good day picking out dresses and tuxes. Lily decided on a long, white, fitted wedding dress. And she chose purple dresses for the bridesmaids. When we got back to the flat Chris, Remus' cousin was waiting for us.
"You done un-packing?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, I just finished," Chris, said smiling. Ah, no!! The smile!
"Hey," I said smiling and went to change my robes. I have thing about wearing a set of robes all day and for most of the night. I have to change them. That's why the majority of the washing in the flat was mine.
"Why are you changing your robes again?" James asked as I came back out wearing black robes.
"I can't wear robes I've worn all day at night," I said brightly.
"Claire, you scare me," Katie said laughing.
"Well, what can I say? I scare myself," I said.
"I'm hungry," Sirius whined.
"Your always hungry," Krista said kissing him.
"Please, not right now. I feel sick," James said.
"Why not, big brother? Your always kissing Lils," Krista said. She was sat on Sirius' lap, and I could see that as she turned to argue with James at any moment she could fall.
"Uh, Krista," I started. But Krista silenced me and carried on ranting. It was at that precise moment she fell onto the floor. Sending James into fits of laughter. That was it; Krista got back up off the floor and chased James out of the flat.
"Brothers and Sisters," Lily said shaking her head. Lily then went onto make James and herself some dinner.
"I can't be bothered to cook!" I whined, but it was whining brightly.
"How do you make whining bright?" Chris asked me.
"I don't know. Brightness comes to me naturally," I said.
"Don't we know it? We had to share a Dorm with you for seven years," Lily shouted from the kitchen.
"We had to listen to you going on about James all the time. It was twice as bad then when Krista started to Sirius. Then became even worse when Katie started to date Remus," Kristine said.
"I can remember it as if it was yesterday," I said laughing.
"Krista talked about me?" Sirius asked.
"As if you didn't know," Katie said rolling her eyes.
"Padfoot could never shut up about Krista, much to the annoyance of James," Remus told us. Sirius opened his mouth to argue, but was cut off by Krista running in and diving behind him.
"Krista!" James shouted appearing a moment later with a huge wart on his nose.
"You two are to much alike. I'm going to go get some pizza, anyone want any?" I asked standing up. Everyone told me what he or she wanted.
"I'll come with you," Chris said standing up.
"Okay," I said smiling. Lily gave me some Muggle money we kept in a jar and we left the flat. On the way to the Pizza place we talked loads. Then on the way home we were talking even more.
"So, your and Auror?" Chris asked.
"How did you know?" I asked shocked.
"I know a lot about you," he said laughing.
"What are you like my stalker?" I asked smiling. We walked back to the flat, and outside the door, he stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just I was wondering perhaps we could go out for a drink sometime?" he asked. Was this what I though he was saying? Was he asking me on a date?
"Yeah sure," I said grinning. He smiled and we went in.
