Friends Forever (5)


Hello once again, in the story it's now the holidays and we meet some new people
and this is going to be in Lily's pov, like it always is. There are some letters in this
part. Enjoy!

It was one week into the holidays and Lily was sitting in her garden, doing her charms
homework, whilst listening to the Beatles on the radio. It was a hot, sunny day and
Marbles (Lily's owl) was enjoying the fresh air.
"Come here, Marbles," said Lily, and he swooped down and nibbled her finger
affectionately; Lily giggled.
"You soppy thing! Here, will you take this letter to Kelly?" She scribbled down a
letter.

Kelly,
Hi! How are you, I'm fine. James sent a letter to me asking if I could go
round to his house during the holiday and then to send a letter to you asking the same
question, send me an owl {or ring me} when you have found out if it's okay or not.
Seeya! Lots of love,
Lily xxx ?


Then she tied it to Marbles foot and then gave him an owl treat before he left. When
he had gone Petunia came out
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Homework," Lily replied flatly
"Why?"
"Because I want to get it over and done with, so I don't have to worry about it later,
that's why"
"Oh"
"Where're Mum and Dad?" Lily asked
"Gone to the supermarket, so I'm in charge!"
"You couldn't keep charge of a sleepover"
"Yes I could!" Lily laughed out loud
"I COULD!" Petunia bellowed, and then she ran off crying
"What a baby," sighed Lily "She wouldn't last one minute in Hogwarts" (a/n that is
true) When Lily had finished all her homework, she put down all her books, sat back
in her chair and relaxed. Then she started singing along to a Beatles song,
"It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a dog! It's be-" But she was
interrupted by a large, brown barn owl, who was nibbling her ear to get her attention
"Who are you?" she asked it, there was a letter attached to its foot, she took it of the
owl's foot and read it

Lily, (it read)
Hi, how are you! Did you get a letter from James? I did, I
can't go, can you? It's really annoying because I really wanted to go! But I am going
to Miami, so I guess it's not so bad, I've been to Miami before, it's good, but there's
litter all over the streets, and it's really disgusting! See you soon {I hope!}
Loads of love
Sam xxx ?
P.S. My owl is called Crumpet, he's so cute, isn't he?
P.P.S. He's named after my fave food! ?

Lily chuckled at her letter, and then wrote back to Sam.

Sam,
Sorry you can't go, I can, but it won't be nearly as fun
without you, but I'm sure we'll survive, the others who can come and me that is. I
hope you have a great time in Miami; I'd just love to go there! See you on the
Hogwarts express {if not sooner!} Loads and loads of love

Lily xxx ?
P.S. I love your owl!
P.P.S. Crumpet's a brill name!

Lily tied her note to Crumpet's leg and gave him an owl treat before he took off again.
Then she started singing along to The Beatles again.
"Yesterday … all my troubles seemed so far away … now it looks as though they're
here to stay … oh I believe in yesterday!"
"Ohh, don't you're giving me a headache!" It was Lily's friend Rachel from across
the road, apart from her family that was the only person Lily had told about Hogwarts
and her being a witch; Lily had sworn Rachel to secrecy.
"Hello to you too!" said Lily chuckling
"What's all that stuff?" asked Rachel, mildly interested
"School stuff"
"What have you got them out for?"
"Homework"
"You get homework?!"
"Yep"
"I don't get homework in the summer holidays"
"Lucky old you"
"Sorry"
"'S'okay"
"What's the name of your owl again?" Rachel asked
"What? Oh yeah, He's called Marbles"
"Cool name!"
"Ta"
"Does everyone at your school get owls?"
"Most people do, but some people get cats or toads. Owls are much better for sending
letters, though"
"If I went to your school I'd get an owl!"
"Good for you"
Lily and Rachel had an enjoyable afternoon catching up, and were only interrupted
when two 11-year-old boys fell out of the sky and landed next to them…
"AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!" screamed Rachel
"Rachel calm down!" said Lily "These are my friends from school"
"Vhy Lily! Dahling! How vonderful to see you!" sad Sirius, grinning
"Yeah, hi Siripoo," said Lily. James choked laughing.
"SIRIPOO?!" choked Sirius indignantly "SIRIPOO?!" James laughed harder.
"Siripoo is good,
Siripoo is great,
Siripoo is fab,
But he smells of shiate," sang James, trying to keep a straight face
"Shut up!" snapped Sirius
"Who are these people?" asked Rachel
"Oh, I'm ever so sorry! I'm James and this is Sirius, otherwise known as Siripoo."
"Oh, right"
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Lily
"James couldn't bear being away from you for longer than one week Lil," explained
Sirius.
"You're going out with him?" shrieked Rachel
"Not exactly, Rach"
"What is going on then?"
"Nothing, don't listen to Siripoo!"
"Must you call me that?"
"Yup"
"Fair enough" said Sirius, shrugging
"So what's going on with you and James then?" asked Rachel, grinning evilly.
"You remind me of Sam," Lily said
"Sam eh? Is he another boy in your life then?" asked Rachel, still grinning evilly.
"Actually, he's a girl"
"Oh" Rachel answered; looking slightly disappointed, but cheered up again when she
saw James starting to talk to Lily.
"Love is in the air," she started to sing "Every time I look around –"
"I think we can do without, thanks," said Lily. Rachel ignored her.
"Lov –" she started again
"Shut up!"
"Ahhhhhh, denial now, is it?" said Sirius, Rachel giggled. "It'll soon be James and
Lily Potter," he continued. James frowned at him.
"Hey, you can be Lilipoo, Lil," said Rachel
"Now you're getting the hang of it," said Sirius, grinning. Rachel blushed.
"Hey, they're the love birds now, James," chuckled Lily.
"Yes, of course they are,' said James. 'So, what will your first child be called?"
"Gregory shed bum face alligator supercalafragilisticexpiallidocious soap tinkle
money star plebs washer psychic gobbledegook Fred Black," said Sirius
"Err, yeeeeeees," said James, giving Sirius a concerned look.
"When's your birthday Jamesie?" Lily asked
"17th August," replied James
"Great! That gives me loads of time to get you a present!" James grinned "And
when's your birthday Siripoo?"
"26th July," said Sirius
"That's in two days!" snapped Lily
"I know, that's why me and J have come"
"What?"
"We've come to pick you up, to go to J's house"
"But I haven't said I can come yet"
"Yeah, but we know you'll be able to come," said James
"Well, yeah, but still–"
"Still what?"
"Well, my parents are out, so I can't go until they get back! And Sam can't come, she
sent me a letter, saying so"
"We know she sent us a letter too," said James
"Oh, okay"
"You're not the only friend Sam has, y'know Lil," said James
"I know, I know."
"Good, good," said Sirius. They all chatted for a while, when Marbles came swooping
down with a letter attached to his foot, he nibbled Lily's finger affectionately as she
gave him an owl treat.
"It's from Kelly, I sent it to her about an hour ago," said Lily
"That was a quick response," said James
"Kelly doesn't live too far away, and Marbles is very fast," Lily answered
"Oh, okay then," said James, shrugging. Lily unfolded the letter and read it out aloud
to the others.

Dear Lily, (she read)
Sorry, but I can't go, I'm going on holiday to Ireland to visit my relatives.
Say sorry to James for me, I wish I could have, I would have just loved to come, but
I'm really looking forward to seeing my cousin, she's just had a baby boy and she
wants me to help name it, I'm so excited! Hope to see you soon!
Lots of Love
Kelly xxx ?
P.S. I love your owl! S/he's so cute!
P.P.S. I quite like the name Harry for my cousin's baby, do you?


"Damn!" said Lily "Who is coming, Jamesie?"
"Everyone, except Kelly and Sam. The others owled me the other day."
"Great!" Lily said, grinning. Rachel coughed loudly
"Jamesie?" said Lily, shifting her eyes toward Rachel.
"Oh, right! D'you wanna come too Rach?"
"I'll just go and ask my Mum and Dad" she said hurriedly, and ran home to ask.
"She seems excited," said James
"Well she has good reason to be," said Sirius, grinning
"You wish, Siripoo!" said Lily
"I do actually!"
"Hmmmm," said James, giving Sirius another concerned look.
"She is a little cutie, isn't she J," Sirius said, winking
"Err… Yeeees, of course," James answered, now thinking that Sirius needed to go to
a mental institution. Lily obviously was thinking along the same lines, because she
walked up to Sirius and put her hand on his forehead.
"Are you feeling alright, Siripoo?" she asked him
"Of course, Lily dear!" he said, cheerfully.
"He's definitely ill Jamesie!" she mouthed at James. James nodded and raised his
eyebrows. At that moment Rachel came back, but she looked depressed and was
mumbling to herself.
"I can read emotions like a book," said Sirius "It's good news, isn't it?"
Rachel made an annoyed grunt.
"I'll take that as a yes!" Sirius said, grinning
"Shut up Siripoo!" said Lily sternly, went over to Rachel and put her arm round her.
"Why couldn't you come Rach?" Lily asked her
"Mum says that I don't know him well enough to go to his house!"
"What a gip!" said Sirius
"Shut up Siri!" said James, Sirius grinned and started skipping around the garden.
"Siripoo?" said Lily "Is it okay if I got you some cyanide for your birthday?"
"What's sinoide?" asked James
"C-y-a-n-i-d-e, Jamesie, cyanide not sinoide," Lily corrected him.
"Whatever, but what is it?"
"A fatal poison," Lily answered, grinning. James snorted.
"Thanks," said Sirius
"Pleasure"

***

It was two days later, everyone who was going to James's house was now there, and it
was Sirius' birthday, the girls were in one room and the boys in the other. This
morning the girls were woken up by a certain someone banging on their door; and this
certain someone was Sirius.
"Watthebloodyhell?!" shouted Nancy, still half asleep. Lily groaned.
"What do you want?" moaned Siobhan
"Happy birthday to me!" Sirius started to sing "Happy birth– ow!" Lily had opened
the door as Nancy threw a hairbrush at Sirius. Then Lily slammed the door in Sirius'
face.
"If Sirius starts to sing again, I will stun him, so don't worry if I'm suspended from
Hogwarts," said Nancy
"How d'you know the stunning charm?" Lily asked her
"My sister taught it me," Nancy answered
"Oh, okay then," said Lily, shrugging.
"Should we get up and say happy birthday to Sirius?" said Siobhan
"Can we punch him as well?" asked Lily
"Sure"
"I'm in then," said Nancy
"Great!" So the girls all grabbed Sirius' presents and walked to the boy's room.
"Hey y'all!" said Nancy in a cowgirl type voice as soon as they had walked in.
"Hey if it isn't Charlie's devils!' He lowered his voice. 'Their next mission is to kill
all the people they can with evil hairbrushes!" cried Sirius, all the boys burst out
laughing.
"Well harde har har, very funny," said Lily sarcastically
"Glad you think so," said Sirius
"Hmmm, yeah," said Lily "Here's your present form me" She handed over the present
and Sirius ripped it open.
"It's a muggle camera, the pictures stay still, and it works with a film and battery not
magic," Lily explained
"Weird," said Peter
"It isn't really if you've lived without magic until a year ago," Lily said
"I'll work it out," said Sirius "So what's my next pressie?"
"This," said James, holding out a small package.
"Excellenté," said Sirius, grinning. He ripped of the wrapping and gasped.
"I don't believe it!" he said, hoarsely.

And finito! Do you like? If so, REVIEW GOD DAMMIT!!! If you like MWPP stories
then read Sirius' (my bro) stories. They are good (as much as I hate to admit it!) if
you like L/J, then … read fics that are L/J! Simple, isn't it? And to all you people
who don't r/r I despise you all, you sicken me!
