Poor Allie and Her Visions

Allie was awake early on Boxing Day. She got dressed and had cooked breakfast before any of her brothers had even stirred. Alex was the first to join her at the table, Dave the last. At about ten o'clock, Allie prepared to floo over to Lily's in order to spend the day with her before she came back to spend the week with Allie.

Allie went tumbling out of the Evans's fireplace, landing right on top of Lily. Both girls went off into a fit of giggles, earning smiles from Lily's parents and a sneer from her sister Petunia.

Lily stood, "Allie, you remember my parents? This is my sister Petunia."

Allie smiled at the two elder Evans and Petunia, "It's nice to see ya'll again, and it's a pleasure to meet you as well Petunia," Allie stuck out her hand in greeting.

Petunia looked at the offered hand, before sniffing and turning away. Allie blinked twice at that dismissal, then proceeded to ignore Petunia as well.

She turned to Lily, "So what're the plans?"

"Well Alice and Elizabeth are coming as well, so we need to wait for them," as if summoned both of the girl's tumbled out of the fireplace, one after the other.

"Okay so now that they're here, I thought we might head into London for the day. We can shop and hang out, like normal, muggle teens for once."

"Well we're here. Nice to know that you girls missed us so much that you are waiting at the fireplace," Alice tried to sound angry, but instead all four girls giggled before exchanging hugs and heading out the door.

The three British girls took Allie into London, and the four spent the day doing the tourist thing, going to the Tower of London, shopping, and to Hyde Park. Allie was ecstatic to see London; it was her first time outside of her village or the Hogwarts area.

Later in the evening the four girls headed over to Diagon Alley and Madame Malkins' shop to order dress roves for the Potters' party. Madame Malkin was very efficient, measuring the girls in an hour and opening her design book for them. The four spent some time flipping through the book, before each picked the colors and styles they wanted for their dresses.

After wandering around Diagon Alley, the girls eventually headed back to the Evans's house for dinner. Dinner was an awkward affair with Petunia and her boyfriend present. Lily's sister was rude to all four of the girls and her boyfriend was even worse, alternating between leering at them and snubbing them.

Elizabeth and Alice flooed out quickly once dinner was over. Allie waited for Lily to say quick good-byes to her parents, before the two of them went through to the Grey's house.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily awoke the first morning at Allie's house, thinking about the strange night before. As Allie had flooed through, her brothers had managed to turn her hair purple and silver, though Allie had decided she liked it and kept the style. When Allie came bounding into her room, Lily was not surprised (after all she did share a room with the girl sometimes and had noticed her hyperactive tendencies).

Wondering at her friend's good mood, Lily got out of bed and took a shower, before heading downstairs. As she entered the kitchen, she discovered the source, all four Marauders where sitting at the table, perfectly comfortable as if they were used to being in the house for breakfast, which Lily reflected they were. It was all Lily could do to suppress a groan at seeing Potter and his group.

Allie heard her friend come down and suppressed a smile at the look on her face. The presence of the Marauders was a surprise to Allie, but she did plan to have fun with it.

"Lily, come have some breakfast!"

The four boys turned and greeted Lily, before going back to whatever they were talking about with Allie, which appeared to be a prank. Lily looked over at the parchment on the table, "You know it would better if you set it for breakfast with a time-delay spell."

Lily and Allie smiled when the four boys turned to stare at "the goody-two-shoes". "What, you don't think I plan all my pranks alone do you?"

"Lily helps you Allie?"

"Of course James, Lily and the other girls in the room. Oh, and you four look like fish with your mouths hanging open."

Allie stood to get Lily some breakfast. A sharp cry and the sound of a dish shattering drew the five guests attention to their host. She had fallen to her knees, her eyes were screwed tightly shut, and her hands were fisted in her hair.

"Allie!" five voices rang out. Peter ran upstairs to get her brothers, while Remus rushed over to her and pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms tightly around her convulsing form. Tears were beginning to streak down her face and she began to shake harder as it went on. It was the worst vision the Marauders had seen.

Alex arrived in the kitchen first and pulled Allie from Remus's arms, rocking her slowly back and forth. Dave soon followed and the five teens stepped back into a corner in order to stay out of the way. It wasn't until Dave went running out of the kitchen that they knew Allie had come out her vision. She was sobbing into Alex's shoulder, and Alex was vanishing the vomit on the floor.

Dave came running back in, "Don't worry Allie. I called Zach, everybody is going to be fine."

Allie shook her head, "It won't stop. Please make it stop Alex. I keep seeing them, just lying there, staring. So hot and now so cold, it's so cold. He's dead, he's dead."

It was then that Zach entered the kitchen. He picked Allie up, and held her close, "Shh… Allie I'm here, I'm okay, it's going to be all right. We evacuated the building before anything happened. You were right, and everyone got out, no one was hurt when the spell went off."

As Zach carried a quietly sobbing Allie out of the room, Dave and Alex remembered the five teens still in their kitchen. They turned toward them, and noticing their pale faces, ushered the teens into chairs and made them tea.

Remus asked with a shaking voice, "Is Allie going to be all right?"

"Of course, it will just take her a few hours to recover," Alex reassured them.

"Are her visions usually this bad?" Sirius queried.

Dave sighed, "Since the break they've been getting worse. She hasn't been sleeping well recently."

Zach came back down, "Allie's asleep, the rest of you are welcome to stay here for a while if you want."

James shook his, "No we're going to head over to Remus's, tell Allie where we are when she wakes; we would love for her to join us. Lily do you want to come as well."

Lily frowned at James, but acquiesced anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allie woke a few hours later, and the first thing she did was hurry through the house, looking for Zach to make she he was okay. She found him in the den, reading, and she immediately climbed on his lap, as if she were a child again. "I'm glad you're okay Z."

"I'm fine Allie. You know it was only a vision." He soothed his sister.

"Yes, but I wasn't sure if I got to you in time."

"You did. Don't worry little sis."

"Where is everyone?"

"Over at Remus's"

"Oh, can I go over?"

"Sure. Have fun."

She jumped off his lap and hurried out the door.
