<< A/N I got a flame from Miranda...it wasn't a review...it was an e-mail...my first one in 12 parts....I'm not sure I like it either. This might be my last part because of the flame. Please give me POSITIVE feedback on this part. If I get another flame on this part I will stop writing. I put in references to songs from year 2000...who wants to hear songs from the 70's and 80's? Now...on with the story.
At...the door it was...no one. But Lily knew better. She kicked out into the open air and her foot connected with something solid.
The air gave a "OOF" and something hit the floor. Something invisible. Lily reached down and grasped whatever it was that was on the floor and she pulled off a piece of cloth and there was..."JAMES!!! What are you doing here?!" Lily asked with a grin.
"Well...oof that hurt Lil. I wanted to come see you guys...because we can't sleep." James said as he gingerly rubbed his arm.
"I'm sorry James." Lily said and she conjured up an ice pack. She placed it over his arm and led him over to the bed.
"Sure, ya hit me, and then ya fix me up." James said with a grin.
Lily grinned back and lifted up the ice. She gasped,
"Oh James I'm soooo sorry!" she exclaimed.
James looked down and he saw a big lump on his arm and it was swelling at an amazing rate.
"Jeeze you kick hard woman! A regular Charlie's Angel!" James exclaimed. (A/N Charlie's Angels was a popular TV show in the 1970's and 80's)
"Oh Yep, I'm Natalie..she's my favorite Charlie's Angel!!!" Lily said with a laugh.
Aria laughed and said, "So, you have an invisibility cloak? Ashleigh said you did but they are so rare, I didn't believe her."
"Yep, I do. I inherited it from my da when he and mum died." james replied.
"We've only seen him use it for something GOOD about twice." Susianna said with a laugh.
"Ok, make that ONCE." Lily grinned.
James grinned sheepishly as Lily wrapped his arm gently.
"Thanks Lil." he said as he got up.
"It's the least I can do after hurting you." Lily laughed.
"AH!!! I can't get Shaggy "It wasn't me" out of my head!!! And its not even a good song!!!" Susianna exclaimed.
"I have Have You Ever stuck in my head." Aria told them.
"Whats that one? How does it go? Sing it for us!" lily exclaimed.
"Ok." Aria said shyly.

Have you ever been in love been in love so bad

but you don't know what to say and you don't know where to start.

"Oh Aria thats beautiful! Do you hear these songs on a muggle radio?" Susianna asked curiously.
"Yeah, I have one in my bag, hang on I will go grab it." she said.
She came back a few minutes later, turned it on, and they were all dancing within minutes.
All of the girls in the room were part muggle, so they all had radios at home, but James was just amazed by it! He kept looking at it and fiddling with the buttons.
"James, its just a radio! Its no big deal." Lily told him with a laugh.
James grinned sheepishly and stopped fiddling with it. No matter what the girls said to try to get him to dance, he wouldn't.
"I would feel like a dumb git. I can't dance in the first place and I save my non existent dancing abilities for the dances." James said.
The girls laughed. Then there was another knock at the door. This time it was Sirius.
"Hey Aria." Sirius said when he saw her.
"Oh, fine don't say hi to me and Lily." Susianna said.
"Oh! Hi Lil, Hey Susi, Whats up Jamsie Boy?" Sirius replied.
"Hi Siri." Lily said.
"Hello Sirius." Aria said.
"Well hello to you too." Susianna said.
"Nothing, how about you Siri Boy?" James said, disgusted at being called Jamsie Boy.
Sirius laughed and slapped James on the back. James winced.
"I'm already battered and bruised by Lil. I don't need another bruise thank you." James said as he checked the swelling on his arm.
For the last two hours of darkness, they all talked and played Exploding Snap. Sirius continued to call James Jamsie Boy, just to annoy him.
When the alarm rang, they all ran down to the Breakfast Hall and sat down. Their plates automatically filled up with Pancakes, Sausages, bacon, bagels, and muffins.
"You know, if I ate all this...think of how fat I would be!" Lily exclaimed looking down at her food.
Aria and Susianna nodded as they looked down at their plates.
Then they heard an announcement: "Aria Madison please report down to Professor Dumbledore's office immediately. Thank You."
Aria got up slowly and walked out of the room.
What did I do NOW? she asked herself as she knocked on Professor Dumbledore's door.
"COME IN!!!!" she heard his voice yell.
She walked into his office and he beckoned her to sit down.
"Now, Aria, I understand that your sister was in Ravenclaw...but both of your parents were in Gryffindor. I find this most peculiar and I would like to have you resorted even though it IS your 6th year." Dumbledore said.
Aria nodded, hoping she would get to go into Gryffindor with her new friends. She placed the hat on her head and it began to talk to her.
Why are you back? Someone must have given you permission, so I suppose I should sort you again. Hmm. Lets see here. Brains, loyalty, noble, wise, gentle, caring, understanding, very brave, ambitious, a very interesting path ahead of you. Yes, well it looks like you would be perfect for GRYFFINDOR!!! the hat yelled the last word so loudly that Aria and Dumbledore both jumped.
"Just as I thought Aria. I am guessing that your sister should have been in Gryffindor too...but that doesn't matter now." he said sadly.
He cleared his throat.
"Well, go pack your things. As there is no room in the 6th year girls dormitory in Gryffindor, I will let you sleep in the 7th year Gryffindor Girls Dorm." he said, and motioned for her to leave.
This is great! I get to stay with Lily and Susianna! And i will see a lot more of Sirius thats for sure. she thought to herself with a smile.
She ran down to the Great Hall and found her friends still eating breakfast.
"I got resorted, and I was put into Gryffindor. Dumbledore said that I have to stay in the 7th year girls dorms because there is no room in the 6th year girls...so that means I get to share a room with you guys!" she said quickly.
Lily opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"They let you RE sort?" Susianna asked enviously.
Aria nodded.
"Thats great that you're staying with us! Isn't it a bit unusual to re sort in your 6th year?" Lily asked curiously.
Aria shrugged, "Thats what I thought too...but I would rather be in Gryffindor than be in Ravenclaw where everyone is always looking at me weird...like they feel sorry for me...it was 4 years ago...I'm trying to stop hurting about Ash, but being in Ravenclaw doesn't help." Her eyes were starting to fill with tears.
She shooke her head and sniffed.
"The saddest part is...I'm beginning to forget a lot of things about her...and I don't want to forget." Aria said as a tear slid down her cheek.
Lily stood up and told the rest of the group, "I am going to show her my photo albums of Ash."
The rest of the group nodded, and Lily led Aria to her room, and she took out her 8 photo albums filled with pictures of Ashleigh. The best part was, they were MOVING pictures, so they could actually see what she was doing at the time the picture was taken.
Aria and Lily skipped classes that day and shared memories of Ashleigh. Lily even showed Aria the 6 notebooks that she had used to record absolutely everything she had ever done with Ashleigh. She had written these right after Ashleigh had died, because it had helped relieve the pain of losing her.
Aria loved them, and she began to recall things about her sister. She even learned some things from the notebooks, that she had never known before.
When they finished the last notebook and the last photo album, Aria reached over and hugged Lily.
"Thank you so much. I think I needed that." she said honestly.
Lily nodded and wiped at her eyes, "You know what? I think I needed that too."
Just as they finished talking, all of the others walked in from their last class to tell Lily and Aria that it was time for supper.
James pulled Lily aside.
"Did you show her the notebooks to?" he asked.
Lily nodded and he gave her hand a squeeze.
"I think you needed to see those just as much as Aria did." James said.
Lily agreed, amazed that he could read her mind so easily.
They hurried to catch up with the rest of their group, and they all ate their supper in almost silence because they were all so hungry.
Lily and Aria and Susianna were unseperable from that day forth. Lily knew, that with Aria in the group...life would be a lot more interesting....
A/N this part ties things together, and I promise there will be more action in the next one...if I write a next one...I really didn't appreciate that flame! Please just nice reviews? thanks everyone.
