The next morning everyone grabbed their things and brought them downstairs.
"Does everyone have everything?" Mr. Potter asked.
Alex nodded for the girls and James for the guys and Mr. Potter grabbed their things.
"Good, now your things will be waiting for you at the island. I borrowed young Arthur Weasley's car for you to fly down to the island. I installed an auto pilot button that will get you to the island without you doing anything. Make sure to hit the invisibility booster button every half hour. Have fun!"
James led the group to the Ford Anglia and they all piled inside the car. James took Driver's seat and Jessi, Sirius, Peter, and Lily also piled up in front leaving Remus, Alex, Alice, and Frank in back. In order for everyone to fit, Peter ended up on Sirius's lap and Alex was on Remus's.
"This is going to be a fun drive! Why couldn't I have one of the girls straddling me instead?" Sirius muttered sarcastically.
"Relax Padfoot!" Jessi hissed as the car lurched up into the sky.
~x~
Several uncomfortable hours later, the car descended and they found themselves on Paradise Island. Alex and Jessi were the first ones out of the car and Alex fell face first into the sand.
Remus and James pulled her up and everyone else tumbled out of the car. James led the way up the steps to the large beach house they would be staying in and showed them the boys' room and the girls' room. Their stuff was already there and Lily and Alice set about unpacking while Alex and Jessi kept following the boys.
The second Sirius saw the kitchen he started complaining of hunger and Alex started pulling out all the fixings for brats and began to cook.
"Wait, you can cook?"
"Yes, I can. So can Jessi."
"Good, we won't starve!"
Jessi shook her head and pulled out enough plates for everyone. Lily and Alice came in and sat down just as the brats finished cooking and Alex set the plate on the counter with the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, relish, and buns.
They all grabbed food and dug in hungrily. As she ate, Alex looked around at her surroundings. The walls were painted in bright airy colours and there were windows everywhere. Over all, it was a nice, bright, and inviting space.
After everyone had finished, Jessi grabbed their dishes and washed them before turning around to face everyone.
"So what shall we do?"
"Let's just sail around the island, there's a boat. I'm sure we can figure out how to drive it." Sirius suggested.
"I know how to drive a boat, so I'll drive. Where are the keys?" Alex smiled.
James handed them to her and they all walked out to the dock where a nice red speed boat was waiting. Jessi steadied the boat while everyone got in before hopping in as well. Alex then untied the boat and kneeled on the driver's seat in order to see and started the boat. Jessi sat right next to Alex, figuring she'd be the best co-pilot of the lot, and they sped away and Alex drove around the island while James told everyone about it.
"There's Pirate's Cove. That's a nice place to dock for a picnic. Over there is waterfall lagoon. Kind of obvious how it got its name."
They drove past a little cove that had a large waterfall gushing down into it and Alex and Jessi smiled. Waterfall jumping, cliff diving, and jumping off any high area was always fun.
The teens got back to the dock and Alex docked swiftly, turning off the ignition as she did so. It was already getting dark and they decided to have a quick meal before they all turned in for the night.
