All's Fair in Love and War
A/N Please read, have fun…it's short the next ones will be longer. I own the stuff I make up! (Who'd a known?) R/R! The Beginning of a *Most* Eventful Summer

Lily picked the flower up cautiously and went to smell it. But a stream of green ink blasted her. Her voice could be heard from the Great Hall, yelling

"PPPPPPPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR"

James was sitting next to Sirius on the couch in the common room. It was the day before everyone went home for the summer. A summer that was sure to be filled with excitement, fun and 'getting lucky'. (Sirius' expectations) Lily and Skye had just walked in.

"My head hurts!" James exclaimed, he had had a headache ever since Lily had screamed at him for over an hour about the whole 'star-gazer lily' incident.

"Been thinking again Potter?" Lily was standing right behind him, a big smile on her face.

"Ha ha ha, so funny Evans, you're the funniest person I know."

"You're funny too Potter, funny looking that is."

"You're not one to talk carrots."

"At least I know how to use a hairbrush four-eyes." By now they were standing four feet apart and yelling at the top of their lungs. Serena came in the middle of them and held out her arms.

"JUST STOP IT!" she screamed with her usually so quiet voice. The both stepped back in astonishment. "It's the last day we have together before next year so just cool it! Tomorrow you go home and won't see each other for the whole summer ok?"

"Ok." They chorused sheepishly and walked off to their appropriate corners of the common room.

After getting off the train the next day, Lily searched for her mother.

"LILY!" she heard a voice for the other side of the station.

"MUM!" she yelled hurtling herself into her mothers arms.

"I missed."

"I missed you too."

"Come on." Jade Evans grabbed her daughter's trunk and heaved it up on her shoulder, not the ordinary thing for a woman to do…but she was no ordinary woman. She had raised two girls all by herself after the death of Hiram Evans, when Petunia was four and Lily two and was a very famous model.

Lily had always been Jade's favorite. She had the same red hair, emerald eyes and the same build, tall and skinny, with fairly average curves. Petunia, however, looked like Hiram had. Stringy blond hair faded gray eyes and a small tiny frame and pointy nose. Nobody could ever take Lily and Petunia for sisters…but that's life. Lily didn't mind not being recognizable as the 'horse teethed, spaghetti haired bitch's' sister, in fact she LOVED the fact they didn't look alike.

Once they had reached the car, Lily saw the sneering, unhappy face of her stuck up sister in the back seat. She hopped in the front just when Petunia broke out into her screechy voice.

"MOTHER? (Only Lily called Jade 'mum') I am 19 years old! Why did I have to come to meet the freak?"

"Now 'Tunia! Be nice to your sister! Besides, as long as you live under my roof you're going to great your sister at the end of term." Petunia growled at Lily, who retorted by sticking her tongue out at Petunia.

"MOTHER!!!!" she pointed accusingly at her sister.

"Lily! Petunia! Act your age!" they both slumped down in their seats, as not to see the other one. Then a smug grin formed on Petunia's mouth.

"Can I tell Lily about the trip?" Lily's ears perked up.

"I was going to tell her when we got home, but I suppose you can."

"We're going to the Mediterranean for the whole summer!"

"SWEET!"

"But you're not coming." Lily opened her mouth in shock.

"What?"

"Well…" Jade could feel her daughter's discomfort. "I have to go there for a contract and Petunia wanted to come with me and I don't think you're old enough and we won't get back in time for you to go to school." Lily glanced back at her sister, who had a look of triumph on her face.

"Where am I going then?" Both her sets of grandparents were dead and she had no aunts or uncles.

"To the new neighbors house. Quite a nice family, two young girls, they're twins, Tori and Lori, and a mother and father last name's Black I believe…isn't it 'Tunia?"

"I believe so yes." Lily again slumped in her seat.

"Anyone my age?"

"I think they have a son your age…was off at school all year. I'm almost sure his name's Serious or something." Lily sat up strait. She was going to spend the summer with one of her best friends? Well, maybe not best friends…but they did get along famously except for the fact that he thought she was hot…but that had almost been knocked out of him from a few tricks and…beatings.

"I know Sirius Black! He goes to my school! He's actually one of my friends!"

"What a small world!" Jade smiled whilst keeping her eyes on the road. Petunia frowned.

"A small, small world." She snarled through clenched teeth.

As soon as they arrived home Lily was trampled by her two collies, Dava (female) and Wishaw (male).

"Get down!" she screeched after being attacked and kissed with full force. "Yes I'm home." She patted both their heads and then whispered to her mother. "Where are Dava and Wishaw going for the summer?"

"With you to the Blacks." That reminded Lily and she bolted out the door to the neighbors' house. She knocked and waited for a response. The door opened and there stood two identical girls who were about nine. Lily smiled sweetly.

"Hi! I'm Lily; I'll be staying here over the summer. Can you please get your brother for me?"

"Go get Siri, Lori." One of the girls walked off into the house. "I'm Tori, my sister's name is Lori and my mom and dad's names are Daniel and Missy."

"Nice to meet you." She held out her hand, waiting for Tori to take it. She smiled and vigorously shook Lily's hand, just when Sirius appeared at the door. He stared in disbelief and Lily, and then grinned.

" LIL!" he shouted, pulling her into a bear hug.

"Hi Sirius! Guess what?"

"What?"

"You're my new neighbor!"

"You're kidding!?"

"Nope! I live right there." She pointed to her large house "And will be staying here over the summer."

"What?"

"My mum and…" She made a grimace to show her dislike, and Sirius knew whom she was talking about. "Petunia, are going to the Mediterranean so you're stuck with me, Dava and Wishaw."

"Who?"

"My dogs!"

"I knew that." She smiled and hugged him again.

"Listen, I got to got pack, but I'll see you later ok?"

"Ok." She kissed his cheek and the skipped back to her own house. Sirius watched her go.

"Oh boy, this is going to be interesting." He said to himself, "Very interesting."
