Chapter 20

Lily was lying in bed thinking of James. She knew he was sharing a room with Sirius and Peter. Remus was sharing a room with his son. Their grandkids were sharing rooms with their cousins. She figured they would be able to space out more but no one seems to want to do that. She smiled thinking what a wonderful adventure this is to meet her grandkids and to have confirmation that she and James are meant to be with each other. She rolls over smiling pleased with the idea when sleep finally wins over.

Come morning she has two little boys leaping on her to wake her up. She gasps for air since they landed on her stomach. "James, Albus hi guys." She wraps her arms around them kissing them both on their cheeks.

"Morning big Lily." James tells her giggling. No one wanted to try to explain that the young woman and man were their grandparents from the past.

"Big James told us to wake you up." Albus told her snuggling up to her.

"I'm glad he did, so what is the plan for the day?" Lily asked wondering what they had decided on.

"WATERPARK!" Both boys yell enthusiastically.

"A water park that sounds interesting." Lily tells them getting them to her side so she can sit up in bed. "You two be, lambs and head out to breakfast while I get ready."

"Ok," James shouts leaping up from the bed and hurrying from the bedroom with Albus hot on his tail. Lily watches them with dewy eyes before she hurries to get ready herself.

She heads into the kitchen to see the five guys sitting around the table with the four older kids and Hugo and Rose sitting with them. Hermione and Harry are talking by the counter laughing happily. She smiles watching them they seem to be so close to each other. "Hi everyone." She tell them walking over to Harry. "So my son I hear we are going to a waterpark what is that exactly?" She asked trying to come up with something reasonable in her head.

"It's a place set up with water slides but on a larger scale then the ones at pools." He told her figuring they must not have had anything like that in the late seventies.

"Oh well that sounds fun," She grinned pleased with the idea.

"It's a lot of fun, we are also going to take a picnic lunch along with us to use instead of the park food." Hermione told her. "I also set it up to have an endless supply of food charm so no matter how much someone eats." She gave a significant look to Peter who was stuffing his face with pancakes. "We won't run out of food."

"That sounds great." Lily told them when she noticed the look the woman gave to Peter. They all knew how much the boy could pig out on food.

"After everyone is done eating we can head there and make a day of it." Hermione told them happily.

"That sounds great but won't you get in trouble with your work." Lily asked worried they would have problems with work and maybe get fired.

"Nah we're good Harry was already taking vacation time and I called in to take some as well. We figured this way we can keep you teens out of trouble." Hermione winked at her. Lily laughed at this. "Good luck with that." She told her chuckling. Lily sat down to eat some breakfast while the guys talked about the waterpark with the kids who told them all about the slides and the wave pool. When everyone was done eating breakfast including Peter. Harry spoke up.

"Ok everyone, go get ready to leave make sure to have a swimsuit and towel and clothes to wear afterwards." Harry told them. The teens all leaped up heading to their respective rooms to get ready.

Teddy looked at his dad shouting. "I'll beat you there dad."

"I don't think so." Remus shouted back at him the teens all hurrying down the hall. It was the last they heard from them.

Harry grinned pleased at Hermione. She rolled her eyes at him.

"You really enjoyed bossing your parents around didn't you?"

"I sure did that was fun." He replied grinning still. They both laughed heading to their rooms to get ready as well.

In her room she had her swimsuit on and was admiring herself in the mirror, she was glad she bought this one. The door banged open for James to come inside to see if she was ready. She leaped placing her hand over her heart. "Stop scaring me like that." She told him with a frown.

"Sorry just wanted to see if you're ready." He looked up and down her body taking in the very skimpy suit. "You're not wearing that are you?" He looked stunned to see the suit on her.

She looked at him with wide eyes. "Of course I'm wearing this. It's today's style there is nothing wrong with that. I think I look very nice in it."

"You look great in it. But it's too revealing you'll fall out." He told her still eyeing her body.

"I will not don't be silly." She told him while grabbing up her towel and extra clothing. "If you don't believe me let's ask others what they think." She headed out the door and down the hall to the living room. She could hear the others talking in there. She headed into the living room to see everyone else was inside waiting for her. "What does everyone here think of this suit?" She looked around to see Remus and Sirius looking at her with her mouth hung open. Peter was looking down at his feet while Teddy looking like a deer caught in headlights. Remus suddenly placed a hand over teddy's eyes who squirmed away from him to see his friend in her bathing suit.

"You look great Lily." Hermione told her honestly. Lily looked back over her shoulder at James. "I told you this was a good suit wear." The others were all nodding agreement with her. James scowled at this but said nothing else since he felt outvoted. Harry patted him on the shoulder understandingly. James felt better for his son's reassurance although he still didn't want to see Lily going out in public in it.

Everyone went out to Harry's car piling inside to leave for the day. Lily sat next James snuggled up she hoped it would put him in a better mood for her. She smiled pleased when he wrapped his arms around her.

James was thrilled to have Lily snuggling with him. The drive was not very long to the waterpark they were early enough to find a good place to park.

They all walked up to the cashier in the booth to pay. They all went inside the park to find lockers to put their clothing and personal items. Once done Lily and Hermione took the little children to the kiddie pools. The males all went to the large slides. Lily and Hermione sat talking on the water's edge while the kids played in the sprinklers in mini pools. After an hour Harry walked over to them. "I'll help Hermione with the kids if you want to goes use the slides Lily."

Lily stood up giving a hug to Harry. "Thank you, son." She started to walk away before turning back to talk once more. "What time do you want me bring the guys back for lunch?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other than shrugged. "Any time you guys are hungry we can start the picnic lunch."

Lily smiled brightly. "Sounds great see you two later." She headed off thinking she needed to make a mental note to ask where Hermione's husband Ron was at.

She found the boys all lined up to ride another slide. "hey guys, this looks great." She told them taking James hand in her own.

"It's a blast Lily you'll love it." Remus told her giving her another look over. James slipped his arm around her waist staking his claim on her.

"How about a spell to close the suit up at the top, just to be sure you don't, fall out of it?" He asked hoping she would see sense in it since it cut down past her belly button.

"I'm fine James please don't worry so." She told him once more hoping to hear no more about it. The line moved slowly for them as they finally reached the top.

"Want to go doubles" James asked liking the idea of holding her down the slide.

"Sure that'll be fun." Lily told him. The two got in place and went down before the others. James holding her tight to his chest. At the end they zipped out into the waiting pool. It was a fun time for them they went on the one that dropped you from several feet in the air and the long one that went almost straight down. After a couple of hours of sliding they were feeling hungry they all agreed to go find the others, it didn't take long for them to see where they were set up, they walked over to see Hermione and Harry sitting in a grassy area with the blanket loaded with food and Peter eating happily.

"Hey everyone." Hermione waved to them. The kids leaped up and ran to greet them. Lily and James happily hugged them all.

"We were wondering where Peter had gone too." Sirius told them sitting down to eat with them.

"he showed up about half an hour ago saying he was hungry so we got it all laid out figuring you would all show up soon." Hermione told them handing them, plates for their food.

After dark started to set in they all packed up and headed back to Hermione and Ron's home. Harry used the fireplace to see if Ginny had shown up. He was not surprised to find that she had not and Kreature was willing to come back and cook there for all of them. Once he walked into the room he found that Ron was upset when he returned.

"Ron mate, what's wrong?" He asked taking a seat at the table with everyone else.

"You all go having fun without me once more it's not fair." Ron grumped taking a drink of his fire whisky.

"Sorry mate we'd have preferred to have you with us but you used up your vacation time to see the Chuddly Cannons game practice, you spent two weeks there watching them." Harry told him wondering why he bothered since his favorite team still lost every game they ever played.

"Not good enough have my dinner sent to my room." Ron growled storming off to the bedroom.

Lily looked sadly at Hermione who looked depressed by her husband's behavior.

"Your right he hadn't grown up."

Hermione and Harry chuckled at this.

"Sadly he does get his nose out of joint rather easily but nothing we can do about that." She told her smiling sadly.

"He was after all voted the most likely to never mature." Harry added chuckling. The others all laughed over this. After a very good dinner where Harry distracted the teens while Kreature brought out the food they all went to watch movies in the living room. Hermione asked Ron to join them, which he did resentfully with several complaints.

"Harry why do you keep that old elf his head on the wall would be a much better thing to do with him." Ron sat down never noticing Sirius looking at him startled.

"I didn't think the Weasley were dark wizards, I thought it was only my family that did sick twisted things like that?"
"We don't do that are you mental?" Ron asked with a grunt of pain when Hermione elbowed him in the gut giving him an evil look.

"Sorry Sirius, we weren't telling you that you used your parents' home as headquarters for the Order of The Phoenix after your mums passing."

Sirius though looked delightful. "I used Grimmauld place as headquarters for some phoenix thing what is it and when does my mum finally kick it," He looked to James smiling pleased. "That is more good news."

James chuckled with Remus and Peter they had not cared for his mum.

"I am not sure when she does die and the Order of The Phoenix is something Dumbledore started up to defeat Voldermort. She gave Ron a dirty look when he shuddered with an eep coming from him.

"The man is dead and gone stop being paranoid."
"He came back once though." Ron pointed out in case she forgot.

"Yes because he had horcruxes which he didn't have any more after we destroyed them all." She told him with a snap to her words.

"What are those?" Lily asked they had given up on the movie now.

"They are dark objects that a wizard places a piece of himself in to make sure he never truly dies." James told her stunned to hear what Voldermort was willing to do to stay alive. Lily turned to James with wide eyes.
"how did you know that?" She asked feeling fearful.

"I had read it in the library at home, my dad has many books on many subjects it was a nasty type of book but he wanted to be able to help catch dark wizards so he learned all he can about them." James slipped his arm around Lily's shoulder pulling her closer to him. He was feeling worried now, it wasn't helping with everyone watching them.

"So let's watch the movie." Remus spoke up breaking the tension that had built up around them all.

"Sounds good Moony." Harry told him taking up the remote and starting the movie. They watched Scary movie one and two before they all went to bed. Lily kept a hold on James hand until her room.

"Good night James," She leaned in kissing him gently.

"Good night Lily," He smiled then felt a worry settle into him. "Is something wrong Lily?"
"I just have a lot on my mind can we talk about it?" She asked hoping he wouldn't say no.

"Of course anything you want to talk about." He smiled softly following her into her room to sit down on the bed with her.
