A/N: For once, I have nothing in the least bit interesting to say…hm.

Meant To Be

This was heaven, Lily thought. No Petunia, no school, just me, my friends, and Jessi's brother and his friends in a nice, cool, swimming po-

Splash!

"James Potter, what the bloody hell was that for?" Jessi squealed angrily.

James shrugged innocently. "I was bored."

"Well, that doesn't mean you can attack my friends!"

"I did no such thing!"

"You splashed them!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

Minutes later, a full-out water fight had broken out between the seven children. (Peter's mum hadn't let him come; Remus had arrived yesterday, three days after the last full moon of the summer) It soon turned into a boys versus girls warfare, with James, Sirius, and Remus against Jessi, Sabrine, Danica, and Lily. The girls were clearly losing, as James and Sirius had picked up Jessi, their best fighter, and tossed her (gently!) into a nearby bush. Sirius then tackled Danica and James grabbed Lily, and they, too, were tossed into the bush. Remus and Sabrine glanced at each other, wide-eyed.

"Truce?" Remus said, sticking his hand out.

Sabrine smiled sweetly and pushed him underwater. When he came back up, sputtering manically, she giggled and said,

"Truce!"

Sabrine then pulled herself out of the pool, grabbed her giggling friends from near the bushes, and strutted back inside.

The three boys glared after them.

"Girls are weird." Sirius stated simply.

Beside him, James and Remus nodded.

"Can you believe it's already the last day of summer holidays?"

Jessi groaned. "Don't remind me, Sirius!"

"Sorry."

There was a momentary pause in the conversation.

"I'm hungry."

"You're always hungry, Sirius."

"No, I'm really hungry. When's dinner?"

As if on cue, Mrs. Potter called, "Kids! Dinnertime!"

The seven children raced to the dinner table, eagerly awaiting Mrs. Potter's cooking.

"Yum, ravioli!" Sirius cried.

"And spaghetti!" James added.

"And salad, boys," Mrs. Potter said, raising her eyebrow at her son.

"Mum!"

"Mrs. P!"

"You need vegetables; you're growing fast at this age, boys."

Jessi, Lily, Danica, Sabrine, and Sirius looked at James and stifled a laugh.

"Wha?" he asked, his mouth full of food.

"Nothing."

James swallowed and glared at his sister. "What?"

"Nothing, James."

"WHAT?!"

"It's just that…well, you're not exactly growing fast, James. You're what, four foot?" (A/N: Sorry, I'm not familiar with centimeters, meters, etc. So I'll be sticking with American measurements for now. Sorry.)

James glared at Sirius. "And how tall are you, four foot two?"

"Five foot exactly, thank you very much."

"Still short," Danica muttered under her breath.

"And you are?" Sirius asked.

"Five two."

"Jessi?"

"Five foot one."

"Lily?"

"Five."

"Sabrine?"

"Four seven. Shut up, Danica."

"James?"

"Um." He stuffed a large bite of ravioli in his mouth. "Fwa fwat."

"What?"

"He said four eight," Sirius laughed.

"Boys start growing later than girls do. Now all of you, shut up and eat!"

"Yes ma'am." The kids chorused.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness, but I'm being kicked off the computer. Next chapter is the train to Hogwarts!
