The next day Alex received a letter from the boys and she tore it open hurriedly.

Hey Blondie!

We had a great trip home, although we missed you two a lot. We're all at my house for the rest of the summer, so when you get here we'll be at Potter Mansion. Feel free to come and visit for the rest of the summer, it won't be right without you around.

Hey Alex! Don't worry, I'll start reading outside. Please get here soon, I'm starting to act like James and Sirius, which is beginning to worry me. I miss you a lot; I can't wait to see you! – Remus

Hey Alex! I hope you get here soon, I miss you. So does everybody else. -Petey

BLONDIE! I miss you! How am I supposed to torment Prongs without you?! I feel kind of bad since I'm targeting Moony, but I can't be too bothered by that. Hey! When you get here I'll have to tell you all about this girl I met! I think you'll like her! Hurry up and get here -Pads

Well as you can see we all miss you. Please get here soon. Mum misses you too, and by the way, she's kind of adopted you and Jessi as her daughters. Miss you - James (your big bro)

Alex smiled widely and reread the letter before carefully tucking the letter away with her school things for safekeeping. She called Jessi to let her know what the letter said and they decided to leave exactly a week from when they'd gotten back.

~x~

A week later Alex left a note for her mom saying she was going back to England and waited for Jessi. Once she got there, they crawled through the portal to Hogwarts with their things. They were going to head straight for the boys; they missed them a lot more than they thought they would've; it made their hearts ache that they were so far away from them. So they decided they weren't going to take any detours before meeting up with them.

Alex and Jessi walked through Hogwarts and out to Hogsmeade. Alex held out her right hand and the Knight Bus appeared. They hopped on and paid the conductor before sitting down.

"Potter Mansion, please." Jessi smiled.

The bus lurched forward and a few minutes later they were walking down the road towards Potter Mansion. When they got to the large door they knocked three times and James opened it.

"Alex!"

James pulled her into a bone crushing hug that lifted her off her feet and pulled her inside before setting her back down.

"Jessi!"

James did the same thing to Jessi, smiling brightly at both of them.

"Hey James!"

"Come on. Sirius, Remus, and Peter are here already. Oh and by the way, you know us way to well, Sirius had already put the prank in the envelope, I was eating cake, Peter was on his fifth helping, and Rem was reading in the corner without the lights on when we got your letter."

Alex smiled softly and James hugged them again. He hadn't known them very long, but he missed them more than he had thought he would when they had been gone. And they had only been gone a week.

Mrs. Potter walked out of the kitchen and smiled at the girls. "Hello dears! Was the rest of your year good?"

Jessi nodded as James kept dragging her and Alex upstairs and she was tackled by Sirius when he saw her.

"Jessi!" He cried excitedly.

"Hey mutt!"

"Alex!"

Remus hugged Alex first, Jessi still being on the ground, and Peter ran over to hug her and Jessi, who had finally been pulled back off the ground. Sirius, in search of a new victim, proceeded to tackle Alex.

"Hey guys!"

"Lily, Alice, and Frank should be here later today so you know."

"You got Lily to come?" Alex asked sceptically.

"She felt the need to protect you from us." Remus laughed.

"That makes more sense."

"We missed you!" James blurted randomly, tackling Alex and Jessi simultaneously.

"We missed you too." Jessi smiled as James held her down on top of Alex.

"James, mind letting us up?"

James moved and Jessi scooted over so that she was lying on the floor next to Alex and Sirius instantly started tickling her.

"No! Sirius! Stop! Please! Ah! Rem! Help me!"

Remus pulled Sirius off of Jessi and the girl jumped up and moved out of Sirius's reach. Alex got up and Jessi started using her as a shield while James and Peter laughed.

"Umm, hi!"

"LILY!" Alex and Jessi shrieked, running over and tackling their friend.

"Hi!"

James took Lily's things and put them in one of the empty rooms. Alice and Frank walked up the stairs and James took their things to two other rooms while Alex pulled Lily up and hugged Alice and Frank.

"Right well let's all get some lunch."

The group headed downstairs, Jessi leading the way. "Let's eat."

They all sat down and James brought food over. Jessi ate her food quickly and started teasing Sirius by making his plate move around the table and finally hover over his head just out of reach.

"Jessi!" He growled.

"Fine." Jessi sighed, dropping the plate in front of him in a way that splashed ketchup all over him.

"I'll get you back!"

"I'm sure you will."

"So we'll be going on Vacation tomorrow."

Alex and Jessi snapped their heads towards James and stared at him questioningly.

"Yep, just us kids. We're going to be staying at a private island for a couple weeks. It'll be just us on the island."

"Okay then. Well what will we do for the rest of the day?" Lily asked.

"Let's play Quidditch." Sirius suggested and everyone nodded enthusiastically.

"Okay: Jessi, Alex, Lily, and Alice on one team and Remus, Frank, James, and I on the other team. Peter can be referee since he doesn't like heights." Sirius decided.

"Sounds good. Let's go!" Alex cheered.

They all grabbed brooms and raced outside to an Apple Grove where they were allowed to play Quidditch.

"Alex, don't you want shoes?" Remus asked.

Alex looked down at her bare feet and shook her head as she continued to run.

Sirius and James had both turned into animagi to get ahead and Alex and Jessi changed as well, racing ahead of them. When they got to the grove they turned back to humans and smirked at the boys.

"You're the wolf and tiger?!" James asked in shock.

"Yes we are." Alex smirked, dumbfounding James

They split into teams and divided up jobs. James and Alex were Seekers, Alice and Frank were Chasers, Jessi and Sirius were Beaters, and Remus and Lily were Keepers.

"Let's go!"

They all took to the sky and the game was pretty intense, but Alex caught the snitch and Alice made a lot more goals than Frank did, so Alex, Lily, Jessi, and Alice won.

"Sorry Boys." Alice smirked as Alex started play fighting with Sirius.

"Oi! Mutts! Turn back into humans!" Jessi laughed.

Alex and Sirius did so grudgingly and walked with everyone back to the house.

"Piggy back races again!"

Alex raised an eyebrow at Sirius and he shrugged.

"Alice and Frank, James and Lily, Remus and Alex, and Jessi and I. Peter can judge."

They agreed grudgingly and lined up in their positions.

"Go!"

They all took off running and James ended up winning.

"Yes!"

"Potter, let me go!"
