Chapter 2

A/N: I just re-read the first chapter and I thought it kinda sucked, but I'm just going to continue, and hopefully this chapter is going to be better. That's to all those who reviewed. Special thanks to athenaemira. Thanks so much for reminding me! Can you believe it? I really actually forgot about Voldemort!! Anyway, thanks for the suggestion about Harry's sister. I have decided to have her, and she's going to come out in the next few chapters. Happy reading and please review. ~~Avadriz~~

Chapter 2

The ride to Kings Cross Station was not uneventful at all. James Potter decided to have some fun before he saw his son go off to Hogwarts, and had tried to drive a muggle car himself. He had learnt all the controls and buttons (gears as muggles call them) and had re-assured Lily that nothing could go wrong. He had secretly thought to himself that a muggle car can't be all that different to a broomstick, and with his intelligence, it would require only the slightest effort to master the art of driving.

Unfortunately, he was very wrong. The muggle car did turn out very different to a broomstick, and on the way to Kings Cross Station, James managed to smash his car into a fence three times, a pole ten times, and scratch the poor car one way or another over fifty times. Lily had to continuous perform spells so that the car would remain intact and the engine keep going. But all in all, Harry and James enjoyed the ride massively, and when they stepped out from the car, the father and son were both grinning from head to toe.

But Lily Potter was not grinning at all.

In fact, she was very angry. The thing that seems to be making her most angry at the moment, is the fact that her husband and her son, are both grinning. Grinning about an event that could have killed them. To her, this event was not funny at all.
"JAMES AND HARRY POTTER!!!!! WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP GRINNING??!!! THAT WAS NOT FUNNY AT ALL. JAMES POTTER, THAT COULD HAVE GOTTEN US ALL KILLED."

James and Harry had, by this time, started laughing so hard that they were both clutching their stomach from laughing to hard.

"Chill it, Lil, it's ok. Non of us are hurt." said James, still trying to control his laughter.

"THIS IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN US KIL-" she suddenly stopped at the weird expression on Harry's face. She turned to James, but he was staring innocently back at her. She knew her husband too well to be fooled by that innocent expression he wore.

"JAMES POTTER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW?"

James shook his head and burst out laughing. Lily quickly magicked a mirror and looked at herself.

-------------------------------------------------

"SEAMUS BLACK!! How many times do I have to tell you? The marauders' Map is in your trunk! Not on me! Now get your hands off my coat!!"

"But Dad, I am only double checking. Me and Harry agreed that he'll bring the Invisibility cloak and I'll bring the Map."

"So?"

"So... if I forget, then Harry's gonna kill me!!"

"So what if he kills ya? I don't give a damn about if you're get-"

Sirius Black was interrupted by a loud scream from the other end of King's Cross Station.

"JAMES AND HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

-------------------------------------------------

Lily couldn't believe her eyes. What on earth had happened? Suddenly, she remembered the two devils standing - and laughing hysterically - in front of her.
"Jame and Harry Potter!!!! What have you done to my hair?!!"

James and Harry managed to stop their laughter and looked at Lily solemnly. James began to talk.
"Well Lily, we have noticed lately that you have been getting angry extremely frequently, -"

Harry continued on, "At the same time, we have noticed that your hair has been getting redder and redder -"

"So we figured that your hair probably affects your mood -"

"And we decided to calm you down and give your temper a good rest; -"

"It is also bad for your health to get angry too often anyway -"

"So Mum, this is all for your own good."
The father and son slowly nodded together.

"I DON'T CARE WHY YOU DID IT!!! I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO IT!!!"

"Basically, we just used an irreversable spell to change the colour of your hair."

"AN IRREVERSABLE SPELL??"

Harry nodded. "Don't worry Mum, the colour suits you perfectly, you look beautiful."

"YOU SAY THIS DISGUSTING COLOUR IS BEAUTIFUL?? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??"

James said soothingly, "Calm down Lily. Of course it looks beautiful, we spent hours picking it out. See, the colour is an aqua-ish colour. The blue represents calm, and the green matches the colour of your eyes."

By this stage, Lily practically had smoke puffing out of her ears. She took out her wand and raised it, mind racing to find the most suitable spell to torture the two devils. Just as she was about to say the spell, a voice called her.

"Lily!!! There you are, you guys are finally here!!!"

James and Harry breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Sirius. They knew that their lives have been saved. Sirius would never let Lily kill them, especially if it was because of a 'harmless' little prank.

"Hello Sirius. Nice to see you." said Lily blankly, still trying to control her temper.

"Hello Lily. And hello to you too, James and Harry."

"Hi Sirius." the two chorused.

Sirius, being himself, decided to start examining Lily's hair.
"Beautiful hair you've got there, Lily. And in the latest fashion too. Aahh, a mixture of blue and green. Beautiful. Not too blue, not too green. Just right. Perfect."

But his compliments didn't have much of an nice effect on Lily. She was trembling with anger again. Before she could say (or rather curse) anything though, Harry interrupted.
"Mum! Dad!! We have to be going now. The train leaves in fifteen minutes. Oh, Sirius, where's Flash??....um, I mean Seamus?"

"I've told him to go up to the platform by himself. It is about time you get there too. C'mon, I'll lend you a hand."

And so they set off, with Lily following behind them blankly.
---------------------------------------------------

"Oh Molly, is it you?!"

"Lily?!!!! Oh goodness gracious!"

The two women hugged.

"Oh Molly, I haven't seen you in such a long time! How are you? Are these all your children? Gosh they're such darlings!" Lily pointed to the others standing around Molly Weasley.

It was basically an extremely easy job to tell that they were related. All of them had fiery red hair (rather like her own) and freckles. She counted them mentally. There was seven of them. Let's see, all boys except one little girl, probably the youngest. There's even a pair of twins!! She didn't really feel safe about them though. They had a devilish grin that she was oh too familiar with. They are the same grins that was looking at her from her husband's face only minutes ago. She looked again. The older ones looked good. Very responsible.

As if reading her mind, Molly Weasley started introducing her kids.
"These are Bill and Charlie-" she motioned towards the two eldest ones "-and they have already graduated from Hogwarts. This is Percy -"a dull but smart looking boy with a badge pinned on his black robes that had a 'P' on it "-he's a prefect-"she beamed proudly, but the beamed changed into a sigh when she looked at the twins "-these two are Fred and George, and all I can say about them is that they are, well, uncontrollable. This is Ron-" she pointed to the youngest boy, "-he is starting Hogwarts this year, and the girl, is the youngest of them all. Her name is Ginny, and she will be starting Hogwarts next year." the girl, who looked pretty and shy, clung tightly to her mother.

Suddenly something banged into Lily. She looked up, and saw Harry grinning sheepishly at her.

"Sorry Mum."

"Harry Potter! What have you done now?!!"

He stared back innocently at her. "Nothing Mum."

"I know you too well Harry Potter. I know that you have seen Seamus, and there is no way in this world am I going to believe that nothing is happening. What prank have you two done now?"

A guiltly looking Harry pointed towards the Hogwarts express, and started counting.
"Five, four, three, two, one...."

BOOM!!!!

The compartments of the train exploded, and the air around them was filled with a stinky smell. It seems like someone had put dungbombs in all the compartments and set it off all at once.

"HHAAAAARRRYYYYY POOOTTEERRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"SSEEEEEEAAAAMMMUUUSSS BLLLLAAAAAAACKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
