"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Lily shrieked as Sirius partially hid behind James.
"Mummy!" Sirius whined,
"Uh, yeah, whatever." James looked back at a cowering Sirius. "We're uh... here to say.. uhm... HI!"
"WHAT is THAT?" Lily had noticed the mirror.
"We charmed it." Sirius said proudly, "Its like a portkey, but we can go anywhere with it."
"By writing in the name of the person, see?"
"oh." Lily looked quite impressed.
"We went to see Jadey earlier." Sirius wiggled his eyebrows, "Your reaction was more satisfactory."
"L...Lily?" Petunia peered round the doorway, and promptly ran away again as Sirius grinned and waved at her.
"Sirius, you shouldn't traumatise her." Lily hissed
"Its' fun. " Sirius shrugged. "Anyway, you got the invite, we just wanted to tell you to get yo' ass over a bit early." He drawled in a fake accent.
"So charming." Lily rolled her eyes.
"That okay?" James asked, he'd gone misty eyed again. Sirius slapped him out of it.
"It should be, i'll go check. Stay here and don't touch ANYTHING." Lily brandished her wand at the two guys, who started whistling innocently.
***
A few hours later and they were all at Sirius' house. Lily and Jade were sitting on the grass watching the two guys with rather pained expressions.
James and Sirius were busy having a game of "no hands, no eyes" broomstick racing, Lily had the distinct impression Sirius had bewitchd his blindfold and was cheating.
"Come on." James beckoned, "Its no fun with Mr. I-cant-win-so-i-resort-to-cheating."
"I do not cheat." Sirius said indignantly from the bush he'd just landed head first in. "But i agree, why should you be sitting there whilst we provide all the entertainment, especially as we're such dashingly handsome guys."
"You just contradicted yourself." James hissed.
"Me and brooms are unmixy things." Lily said firmly. "i like staying with both feet on the ground thank you."
"COme ON!" Sirius said exasperatedly, plucking bits of twig off his cloak. "Its fun."
"No." Lily and Jade said together.
"They're just saying no cuz they know we'll win." James said with a grin.
"Oh really?" lily said sharply. "What makes you think that?"
"You're GIRLS." James incited.
His remark hit its mark because Lily suddenly stood up and dragged a bemused Jade over to the small shed where they had stored their brooms.
"Water fight?" Sirius asked them, Lily was hovering uncertainly, looking for her wand in one of her pockets.
"Definitely." James grinned, "No teams, just a free-for-all i think."
Jade pulled out her wand and flicked it a few times in the air. Lily had now gained broom-conidence and was swooping overhead.
"On the mark.... GO!" James yelled as they all zoomed after each other, attacking people with water jets from their wands.
Sirius was being tailed very closely by Lily and Jade, but was using diversionary tactics to stay dry. James had disappeared and then suddnely all three of them got drenched from above. But nobody was there.
"He's got that ruddy cloak." Lily screamed in anger and aimed her water jets all over the place.
Sirius was too busy laughing to realise Jade was hovering to his left leaning over precariously and sticking the tip of her wand down the back of his cloak until it was too late and he was drenched. He jerked away quickly, Jade fell sideways and was hanging upside down from her broom, which was taken advantage of by everyone who flew past giving her a good dose of water.
"You've had it." Jade screeched at them, pulling herself upright.
"Ooooooh, who's got their robes in a twist today?" Sirius laughed from the other side of the garden. He immediately regretted it when jade charmed his own wand to squirt him, and him alone.
"Running from your own wand, Padfoot?" James laughed.
"Something like that." Sirius yelled out as he zoomed past, being pursued by his wand.
"Don't know why you're laughing..." Lily said pointedly to James who's smile was wiped of immediately. "Aquasus grandimus." She pointed her wand at him, and a huge jet of water, worthy of rivaling any fire hydrant shot at his face, knocking him off his broom completely.
James sat up, spluttering, he looked up and watched Sirius wrestle with his wand. Jade just hovered there laughing like anything and Lily was looking at James with a concerned expression.
Sirius's Mother came out of the house and laughed. "You lot!" She caught their attention. "You have two late arrivals by floo."
"Moony!" James bounded into the house to greet his friends.
***
The next day, Sirius had finally overpowered his wand and they were sitting in his room planning thier next adventure.
"We could charm your mum's carpet." James said thoughtfully. "Fly to Paris."
"It's really nice there." Remus agreed. "Me and Arianwen..."
"We KNOW." James threw a pillow at his friend.
"I was just saying.." Remus shrugged.
"Or we could just give the ministry a good shock by flying the carpet past their windows, supposedly all by its self..." Sirius grinned.
"Lets send Dumbledore a howler." James said thoughtfully.
"Lets do better than that, lets send Snape's father a Howler..." Arianwen smiled maliciously.
All of them shared a look, "Right." James pointed to Remus- "You write it, you're good at poncy writing." He turned to Sirius, "You charm your owl to look different... so it cant be traced back to us..." He turned to Lily, "You charm it to Howl in Snape's voice please... or something similar..." He pointed at himself. "I... shall sit here and laugh my ass off... No actually, i'm going to charm it so that if he doesnt open it, he gets more until he does open it..."
"Perfection." Sirius leaned back on his bed with the grin that all the school feared on his face. "Absolute perfection."
TBC... hohohoo... this is fun.
