6 Weeks Later:
I stood by the stove making scrambled eggs for the guys who were still upstairs sleeping. It was Sunday and it was also storming pretty heavily today so we decided to not go out and run.
Edward was out on a hunting trip with his brothers and father but would be back sometime today so I was somewhat alone as the rain came down in sheets on the white farm house.
Today was obviously an indoor day, which sucks. I heard James bound down the stairs as he stepped into the kitchen. "Are you making eggs?" He asked, the glasses on his nose slightly foggy from just being in the hot shower and then coming into the cold kitchen.
"Yes, and don't worry I'm making a lot. Do you want to put the toast in the toaster for me?"
"I talked to Lily the other night." He said putting the white bread in the toaster.
"Really? How is she?" I asked, Lily and I were good friends and I knew she had trouble with her family accepting her as witch so the summer months were hard for her. "I guess her sister, Petunia, is getting married and she's not invited to the wedding. I feel so bad for her, Vix you know how much I love her and it broke my heart when she started crying. I wish there was something I could do to help…"
I ran to James hugging him around the middle. Poor Lily. That is just awful, what family does that? She must be devastated and I know how much James cares for her, he never shuts up about it, and would do anything to protect her so obviously Lily calling and crying on the phone would tear James apart.
"I was wondering…if she could come and stay with us until we leave for my house in a few weeks." I smiled at James's shyness of asking such a silly question. "Of course she can, you know I love Lily like a sister and my dad will understand. Why don't you call her now."
I said and laughed as he raced to the phone. The eggs were nearly done so while they sat a minuet more, I configured some paper plates and pulled out the toast waving my wand to spread the butter and put the eggs on the plates. I walked to the bottom of the stairs to yell for the guys that breakfast was ready, "Remus! Sirius! Breakfast is ready!"
I yelled to them and returned to the kitchen setting the four plates on the kitchen table. The boys came down in just their sweat pants yawning and complain about having to get up. I rolled my eyes and just pointed to the food. That woke them up.
James joined us at the table with a smile on his face, "Is Lily coming?" I asked already knowing the answer. "Tiger Lily is coming?" I laughed at Sirius's nick-name for Lily. He always says that she looks like a tiger-lily flower because of her bright red hair and dark green eyes. Lily was defiantly a looker and anybody could see why James likes her so much.
Lily is completely self-less, she would give the shirt off her back to someone she didn't even know and give a second thought about it. She's incredibly smart with both muggle and wizard education. She's nice to everybody and it takes a lot to get her mad but when she is, holy shit! I would never want to be on Lily's bad side she does not put up stuff that she feels is unfair.
"Yeah, she'll be here the day after tomorrow. I'm so excited to see her, WAIT! Where will she sleep?" He asked in a panic, I chuckled, I was waiting for Sirius to make a sexual joke. "She could sleep with you James, I'm sure you'll keep her happy with your…hunkiness. I would know." I rolled my eyes, that was just dumb. "Do you listen to yourself when you talk?"
"It depends. I tune in and out." He replied grinning, that boy needs to be put in the mental ward at St. Mungos. I repeated my previous eye roll, Edward is having an influence on me. However I couldn't help the smile that graced my face.
"We can transfigure another bed and maybe shrink the trunks to make more room." Remus said, he was the logical one of the group.
"So…since it's storming today do you guys want to start the homework?" Sirius groaned banging his head into the plate full of eggs.
"Oh my God! Sirius! You are such a damn child!"
"ME! How am I a child! Coming from the girl who just about shits her pants when there's blood near her and doesn't think to run to the loo when she throws up because of being disgusted and I "happen" to be in the way! I'm going to take that as a compliment!"
"Fuck you Sirius! You're the one with the eggs on your head just because you don't want to do your homework. That's pretty childish!"
"OMG-"
"Did you just say OMG? Are you turning into a chick?"
"Yes I did. Anyways I just thought of the greatest prank we could do to the Slytherins!"
"TELL ME!" I yelled completely forgetting what we were talking about before. James snickered while Remus just smacked his forehead, "You guys are a disgrace to all people with ADD and ADHD."
"Shut up Remus! Okay so what if we spiked the food and it made everyone ultra fat! Like so fat they can't sit down and it just hangs in rolls!" I busted out laughing imagining Malfoy, Lestrange, and Sirius's brother and sister in an obese state.
"DO IT!" We had jumped up and were jumping around the kitchen. "It's going to be A-MAZING!" He said putting his hands to hit high fives. I jumped up hitting both hands. "Hell yeah! Dumbass Slytherins they won't know what hit them!"
James and Remus started laughing hysterically. I looked at them weird, what was their problem? I swear those two are nutty. I turned to look back at Sirius who was looking over at the door. I followed his gaze only to see the Cullens looking at us like the weirdoes we are.
I blushed and my entire head of hair turned fire-truck red. Sirius of course noticed this and laughed at my embarrassment.
I looked down at my feet; sitting back down and picked up my fork hoping the happy color of yellow of the eggs would distract everyone…no such luck. Edward came over to me and picked me up setting me on his lap.
I hid my face into the crook his neck to help hide my embarrassment. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek, "Don't be embarrassed love. I think it's adorable that you and your friends are obnoxious." He chuckled and I blushed even more but kissed his neck in thanks. "You are so obnoxious Bella! But when you do the prank you have to tell me all about it!" Emmet exclaimed and I looked at him grinning, pranks were what we did best, "Well when Edward comes up to visit me at school you should come up with him. You all should come and see everything, I can't tell you how beautiful it is and Dumbledore won't care. I can write to him when we get our letters, I'll use the school owl so I don't have to use mine. Maybe you can come to the Homecoming dance, it's on Halloween and everyone dresses up. It's fun." I said while eating my eggs. Alice looked happy about being able to dress up and possibly help all the girl get ready in the Gryffindor house. I finished my food and waved my wand sending it to the sink to wash itself. Edward still looked at me with amazement that magic was real. "Where are Esme and Carlisle?" James asked and I too, realized they weren't here. "They wanted some alone time, so we got kicked out of the house for the day." Jasper said looking slightly annoyed. Sirius grinned waggling his eyebrows at me. I shook my head in mock disappointment, "We should start on our homework, I know I don't want to do it either but might as well get over with. James you do transfiguration, Remus you work on Potions, Sirius you can do charms and I'll do astrology. Then we'll just switch and copy, it'll be easier." Sirius groaned while James just laughed at him. "You guys can do whatever, but we wont be done for another couple of hours. I want to get this shit done since it's so bad out." Emmet and Jasper ran to the TV grabbing the X-box they had brought with them. Rose and Alice followed them while James summoned our books and homework assignments from upstairs. I caught the astrology book easily and the parchment, quill and ink floated easily onto the table in front of me. I looked at my list of assignments;
* Page 254: Copy the chart and map the stars and planets before writing the predications of all astrology signs.
*Page 305-315: List and define all bolded definitions (70 definitions).
*Page 412: Read the passage and answer questions 1-20 in complete sentences.
That isn't to bad. I like astrology so I put effort into the learning and work which helps a lot so I don't need to look everything up and only the things I don't know or to double check something. Remus was beginning the Draught of Living Death, the potion we had to make and store over the summer, and Sirius was still grumbling about doing the homework.
Edwards cool hands rubbed my back in small circles relaxing me. I sighed leaning into his touch but focused my attention on my homework…unfortunately.
REVIEW! Let me know what you guys think!
Sneak Peak:
"We need to do something fun, or I think I might kill myself. Sirius go upstairs get the fire whiskey we're going to have a party." I said enthusiastically.
"Hell yeah! Turn on the music!" Sirius yelled as he bolted up the stairs to get our stash of alcohol. Edward looked at me like I was crazy. "You drink?" I nodded before leaning in to give him a kiss, "Vampires can get drunk too. I think you need to loosen up and have some fun."
