Absolutely Spiffing
Part Two
"When exactly do we get to go home?" Severus asked sounding bored, "I've had enough already, and we've only been here five hours."
"Well, we have to stay 'till the end of the programme which is in another month." Remus explained.
"Great. So I'm stuck here on a tiny island with four Gryffindors I hate, and two Gryffindors who can't even make a simple fire." Severus moaned.
"Hey! If you're so good at making fires you do all the cooking." Kira said and scowled.
"I am good at making fires," Severus said, scowling back, "I just need my wand."
"Yes well they've been confiscated haven't they." Sirius said sharply. He was getting fed up with Severus already. Severus retaliated to this remark, and soon everyone was shouting at everyone else.
"Will you all shut up! We're all hungry, so lets set about making a proper fire and cooking them sausages!" Lily, always the peacemaker, yelled over the commotion.
Grumbling they set about working together to make the dinner.

"I say Aunt Fanny this is simply a superb tea! Fresh scones with jam and cream, macaroons dripping with butter and cream éclairs to finish it off! Cookie really has outdone herself this time!" Anne exclaimed.
"Yes, the only thing that could complete this meal would be some bottles of Ginger Beer. Do you happen to have any Aunt Fanny?"
"Why yes, George, do go and fetch four bottles of Ginger Beer would you, and be careful not to make a noise." Aunt Fanny replied. George stood up scowling. She didn't like being told what to do!
She returned soon after and they gulped down the bottles of Ginger Beer.
After tea, the children decided to have a game of Rummy.
Anne, who was particularly good at this card game, won every time. At eight o' clock, Aunt Fanny sent them all up to bed, after all it had been a long day!
Anne awoke early in the morning the next day. Sitting up, she couldn't quite remember where she was, until she saw the mop of curly dark hair lying in the bed next to hers. Then she remembered. She was at Georges, and today they were going over to Kirrin Island to investigate the column of smoke they had seen yesterday! As soon as she remembered this, she jumped out of the bed and rushed over to wake George up.
"George! George wake up!" she cried.
"What? What is it?" George replied sleepily.
"Get up and get dressed then we can go and explore Kirrin Island!"
George leapt out of her bed.
"Gosh! Yes! I'd quite forgotten about that. I'll go and wake the boys." George rushed out of the room. She couldn't wait to go to her island again!
Half an hour later they had all dressed and were sitting down to eat breakfast, and it was only eight o' clock!
Cookie had outdone herself again, making a simply super breakfast for them.
"Gosh! I'm going to get fat if you keep feeding us like this!" Dick said to the Cook when she came in to serve up more bacon and eggs."
"Well I don't 'spect you'll be down 'ere much anyway, will you? You'll be off on that island most of the time." Cookie smiled. She always liked it when Julian, Dick and Anne came to stay.
"I say Cookie, you couldn't prepare us a super picnic luncheon could you? With some of you're scrumptious Ginger Bread?" Dick asked.
"Well, I'll see what I can do for you." Cookie said looking at Dick in amusement.
"Thanks Cookie you're a brick!" Dick hugged Cookie around her rather plump middle.
"You're a caution you are!" Cookie smiled and went out of the room to go and prepare the children a picnic luncheon with some of her 'scrumptious gingerbread'.

The Gryffindors and Severus awoke the next morning feeling rather stiff. Although they had collected Heather and Bracken to sleep on, it was still quite uncomfortable.
Not very successfully, they fried themselves some bacon and eggs and grilled some toast.
Once they had done this, they decided to do some more exploring of the island.
Instead of going North as they had done the day before, they went South and began to explore that quarter of the island.
Here, they didn't find much of interest and were about to go back to their cave when Peter spotted something lying on the ground.
"Hey, you guys come here a minute." He shouted to the others.
They rushed over and saw what Peter was looking at.
"What is it?" asked Kira, curiously.
"It looks like, well a dolls coat." Lily said.
"Oh and I suppose you'd know all about dolls then?" Severus inquired sneering nastily.
"No! But it looks small enough to fit a doll, doesn't it?" Lily asked.
"Yes. I wonder why this is here? Dumbledore said that the island was owned by a family who have only one daughter who is twelve, so it wouldn't belong to her." James said looking puzzled.
"I don't know. It's a mystery. We'll take it with us anyway." Sirius said.
Kira patted Peter on the back.
"Well done Pete. You've found something that could lead to an adventure!"

The children soon finished their breakfast and went to collect the picnic lunch Cookie had made them.
"Thanks ever so much Cookie. Did you put some of your Wizard Gingerbread in?" Dick asked.
"I might've." Cookie replied smiling.
"That means you have!" Dick said smiling and hugged Cookie around her middle again.
As they went off down to the beach, they could hear Cookie saying something about "Dick being a Caution".
Soon they came to the beach, and George went to find her boat. She soon found it and they all clambered in. She un-moored it and she took up both oars and began to row out into the sea.
About ten minutes later, they were nearing the island. This was the tricky bit, getting through those dreadful rocks! George, having done this many times before managed it quickly and deftly.
The small row boat drifted a-shore and the children got out. The two boys and George pulled the boat up into a little cove on the small beach and covered it with a tarpaulin. If there was somebody on the island, they didn't want them finding their boat!
"I say! Somebody has been here, look!" Anne pointed at a few footprints in the sand
"Idiot! Those are the footprints we've just made!" Dick said. Anne blushed.
"Leave her alone Dick. Come on. Lets go and explore!" Julian said. He began to walk up the rough path that lay ahead of them.
Dick, Anne, George and Timmy followed him.
Soon they came onto the main part of the island, and it was then they knew that somebody had been on the island.
"Somebody's been here. Look, all these broken twigs and flattened bits of grass. Lets hope whoever they are have gone from here now. They could be violent."
The Famous Five continued on their way, keeping a sharp look out for any sign of a stranger.

"Shh! Did you hear that?" James asked.
"Hear what?" Lily replied.
"I heard a noise."
"It was probably nothing." Lily replied.
Lily and James were washing all the dirty breakfast things in a small pool of water they had found. The others had run off somewhere.
"You're probably right." James replied and he went back to cleaning a plate.
"Hang on, I heard something too then. It sounded like a dog barking." Lily said.
"WOOF! WOOF!"
"I heard it too!" James exclaimed.
They stood stock still, listening, and then they saw a dog come leaping over the hill, followed by four children.
"Oh no! Nobody was supposed to find us!" Lily said, her smiling face sinking.
"Look! There!" shouted one of the children.
"People! On my island! How dare they!" George said angrily. She could feel the familiar temper rising inside her, "Timmy! Get them!"
