The next day came, and with that, an unexpected visitor.
Everyone was in the parlor room when the doorbell rang. "Who could that be?" James asked, not really expecting an answer. He got up and opened the door ever so slightly and peaked out.
His eyes lit up all of a sudden and he pushed the doors open. "KATRINA!" he yelled as he ran to give a familiar girl a big hug.
"Katrina?" Onyx and Lily both questioned. They all got up suddenly and went for a closer look. Sure enough it was Katrina, the girl that they bumped into at Hogsmeade.
Katrina looked over James at the two girls. "LILY! ONYX!" she pushed James aside and went to hug the two girls.
"What are you two doing here?" Katrina asked. Before anyone could answer her question, James raised another one.
"How do you know them?" Lily answered, "James, this was the girl that we met at Hogsmeade. She said that she was going to her uncles house for the winter holidays and then, to Hogwarts. So that means..."
"She's my cousin." James finished. "So, no one has answered my question yet!" Katrina said. "Oh, well, these are two of my four friends, Lily is my... well, here are my two other friends. You've met Sirius of course, and this is Lup- I mean, Remus."
Katrina and Lupin's eyes locked for a few moments before Katrina pulled out of the trance. She looked at James for a moment with a confused look, and then back at Lily. "Are you two-"
"Hey, how about I show you where our room is?" Lily interrupted before Katrina could finish the question.
Katrina must have gotten the hint as she nodded and gather her stuff and headed upstairs with Lily. The others went back in the parlor, and said they would wait for them there.
"So why the big secret?" Katrina blurted out once in the room. Lily sighed and sat on the bedside. "James' dad found out that I'm muggle born. He's forbidden James and I to date, so we are just keeping it cool for a while."
"Ahh, I understand. So, what have you all been doing lately? Anything exciting?" Katrina asked. Lily shrugged. "It's been quiet here for the most part, well, except for James dad, as I just said." Katrina nodded.
They started to walk back downstairs, and found the rest of the group sitting, doing much of nothing.
"So lets do something." Katrina said. "But what?" Onyx asked. A smile all of a sudden crept onto Katrina's face. "How about a friendly snowball fight? Girls versus guys of course."
Everyone looked at each other and ran outside.

Once everyone was soaked, they decided to go inside, get changed, and go into town, a few miles from the Potter mansion.
"Oh James," Mrs. Potter called to her son. "Your father wanted to talk to you, he was looking for you a few moments ago. I think he's in his office."
James rolled his eyes and said, "You guys go ahead into town, I'll catch up with you there."
They all nodded and headed outside. Lily stopped and said, "How are we going to get there?" It looked like Onyx and Lupin were wondering the same thing, but Sirius and Katrina were already walking to the back of the garage.
The rest followed the two and found themselves staring at three 4-wheelers.
Sirius got on one, and Katrina on another, and Katrina looked back. "Lily, you know how to drive one of these things?"
Lily shook her head violently, not even wanting to get on one. Katrina looked to Lupin and asked, "You?"
Lupin nodded his head slowly, looking sort of unsure. "Great, Onyx, ride with Sirius, and Lily, you can hop on with me. Sirius knows where he's going, so follow him." The last part was directed to Lupin.
A few miles into the ride Katrina whipped her head back and yelled, "Lily, relax, please, I need to breath!"
Lily all of a sudden realized that she was hugging Katrina so tightly, almost for her life, and immediately let go.
Once there, Lily was soo grateful to be on the ground. They walked around for a little while, and then decided to go to a coffeehouse to have some hot chocolate to warm them all up.
It was an hour and a half later before James caught up with them.
"Oi James, over here!" Sirius called. James spotted the crew and walked over and sat down at the table. "What took you so long?" Sirius asked.
James rolled his eyes. "My father."
