CHAPTER 30
"Where are we going to go?" Lily asked nervously, and James held onto her hand.
"We've been thinking it over, and we KNOW it's not safe to keep you together, it would only make it easier for the Dark Lord to kill you, since you would all be together. But we also know that school is going to be starting soon and you will be on your own. We don't want you to live in hiding until the Dark Lord is defeated. We have discovered that the Dark Lord has taken Mister Lupin, Miss Evans, and Mister Potter off his immediate Erm, kill list but Miss Jenkins is up there since she angered him when she escaped." Jimena tensed up at what Bob was telling them. "Since school is starting in a week I don't think it matters too much where you end up, but that wouldn't be a smart move. There are too many things to take into account with this…" Bob continued to think; obviously this was a troubling matter.
"Can Jimena just stay here with me?" Remus finally asked.
"Definitely not, we can't endanger two of you AND the Weasleys, okay I think this is what we will do. Mister Lupin, you stay here, Mister Potter stay with the Blacks, Miss Evans and Miss Jenkins may go to Mr. Ewing's new home today. It's only for a week, but I want all of you on the look out, no using floo powder or leaving the house. We'll send people to pick you up to take you to Hogwarts on September 1st. Mr. Sitruc I'll be checking your house and will send word if its safe to go there." With that Bob disapparated.
"Err; I wanted to stay with you Remus!" Jimena whined.
"That would have been okay, but at least you're with Lily. Which I find odd in itself." Remus said thoughtfully.
"Probably because they think I've gotten out of trouble so many times I can do it again, but one of these days I won't be so lucky." Lily said with a sigh, everyone looked at her with their mouths open. "Its true guys, don't try and deny it."
"Lily, are you crazy, don't think like that!" Sierra said slightly frustrated. "Don't give up on this."
"I'm not, but I'm tired of all this. Mr. Ewing when are we leaving?" Lily asked.
"Whenever you and Jimena are ready, but fairly soon, the Ministry set up a new house for us a long ways from here, and we'll use floo powder for the last time to get there." Mr. Ewing informed them.
"All right."
They large group of people were busily talking for a long time until Sierra and her family left to their house after a long good bye with their friends.
The next to leave was Sirius and James and Lily didn't want James to leave her, she felt so much safer when he was around.
Lily and Jimena said goodbye next, Jimena was crying again as she hugged her boyfriend goodbye.
Remus stayed by himself with the Weasleys, none of them were very happy with how everything had ended up. If they were going to die, they would rather die together.
*~*~*~*~*
~Jimena and Lily's~
"Life sucks Lils." Jimena said as they sat that evening talking at the kitchen table of the new home. It was a large home that was safe for now.
"Yep, only one week 'til we are back at Hogwarts where things are relatively normal." Lily said stirring her hot chocolate.
"I can hardly wait. This has been a terrible summer." Jimena said staring into her own hot chocolate. "Drinking hot chocolate in the summer, what an odd thing."
"Well, it tastes good and it's my comfort food- or drink." Lily said smiling.
"Lily can I ask you for a favor?" Jimena asked quietly.
"Yeah sure." Lily said softly, recognizing the sadness in her friend's voice.
"Don't ever leave me, don't die, my life would be over if I lost any of you." Jimena said softly.
"Jim, you know I can't stop that, but I WILL try not to get myself killed." Lily said. "Now I'm going to ask YOU for a favor- IF and I said IF I die, don't mourn over me, and don't let anybody else. And do me another favor and don't die your self." Lily said.
"I promise Lil. Now lightening up the mood; what are we going to do while we under house arrest?"
"Mr. Ewing is going to be gone a lot I'll tell you that so maybe we can play quidditch in the house or something!" Lily said, and they laughed imagining how that would turn out.
~Sierra's house~
Sierra was sitting on her bed talking to her younger brother.
"Steve, I don't want to endanger him anymore. I think she'd use him to hurt me, she could kill him or something, and right now out of all my friends he and Peter are the only ones that are safe. If anything happens to him because of me, I'd just die- or kill myself more likely."
"Don't talk like that Sierra! I've already lost Mum, and I don't want to lose you too. He'll be okay; you wouldn't be doing him a favor by getting rid of him from your life. Plus think about it, his best friends are dating your best friends, and unless you're willing to leave all your friends I don't think you'll be able to get away from him." Steve said firmly.
"If You-Know-who even STARTS to go after him because of HER, then I'm breaking it off."
"Don't you care about him Sierra?"
"I love him, but I love him so much I have to let go." Sierra said sadly.
"I think he'd be happier if you stayed with him." Sierra was quiet for a long while and they sat in silence.
"All right, I think I'll stay with him as long as he'll have me, and I hope I don't regret this." Sierra said with a sigh, but she smiled.
(A/N I don't think I'm having them break up until…you know.)
"That's good."
~Remus writing a note to Sirius and James~
Prongs and Padfoot-
I know, I talk about her too much, but I'm worried about Jimena. I don't know, last full moon was a close call you guys I mean she was there I could have bitten her! That would have been terrible. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. If Padfoot hadn't sent Snape to the shrieking shack and Jimena hadn't gotten Prongs to help…Jimena was there too! No more incidents like in May guys. All right? If one more thing happens with her getting involved with me, being what I am. Then I'll break it off with her just to be safe. I don't want to, but I care about her too much to do that to her. So changing the subject, what are we going to do this year? And where are we going to live after we get out of school? Are we still buying a flat like we planned? And what am I going to do with my monthly problem? I'm sorry to trouble you with all my worries, but I need some answers.

Remus looked at the letter, he hated his life- well he hated what he was in his life. Why did things like this happen to people- much less him?
(A/N foreshadowing Remus worries about the future for my sequel *grins*)
~James and Sirius~
"I'm bored."
"Me too Padfoot."
"Did you tell Wormtail what happened?"
"Oh yeah I wrote him not too long ago."
"That's good. I wonder what Sierra's doing…"
"God Padfoot, I never thought you could fall so hard!"
"You fell worse then me Prongs my boy!" Sirius said laughing as James hit him on the head.
"I wonder what Lily's doing…"
Sirius groaned, the two love sick boys continued to wonder what they girl friends were doing for the rest of the day.
*~*~*~*~*
Petunia's wedding was August 28th, heavens knows why. Lily found herself accompanied by Mindy, Sierra and Jimena. Mindy because she wanted to see other weddings to help her plan hers, even though Lily had told her Petunia's would probably be horrible. Jimena and Sierra came along for something to do, besides be bored and mope about their problems.
Little did they know it would be an unforgettable experience.
"Lily, how are you?" Petunia asked gleefully, after all it was her wedding day.
"Just great, I can see you are…happy." Lily replied as they sat in a back room with Petunia in her wedding dress.
"That's an understatement, I'm wonderful! Uh, how's things been going for you?"
"Just great" Lily lied. "I've got a boyfriend- James Potter my friends and I are going to school in a few days, I made head girl." Lily added t he last part in with out a thought, she didn't consider head girl a big deal.
"OH Lily that's wonderful! A boyfriend? Why didn't you bring him?" Petunia lied, Lily could tell.
"Uh, I brought them instead; they know more about…us." Lily said quietly, Mindy, Jimena and Sierra were standing back away from everyone feeling odd in their muggle dresses. "So, where's the reception?"
"OH, it's at this beautiful hotel Vernon booked, I can't wait your welcome to come."
"I think I will."
Sooner then expected Petunia was going down the isle to become Mrs. Vernon Dursley, the poor dear. Lily although she disliked her sister as much as her sister disliked her, she was incredibly happy Petunia would be married and have someone to live with.
Lily, along with Mindy, Jimena and Sierra wrinkled her nose when they kissed, it was disgusting looking.
Petunia and Vernon were beaming with joy as they went down the isle with people throwing confetti in the air.
Lily and Jimena were the only ones to go to the reception, and boy was it going to be interesting.
*~*~*~*~*
A/N okay, I want the reception to be funny, I'm not doing too much of this wedding, because Mindy's is going to be (hopefully) bigger and better! I'm not sure what's happening exactly so your guesses are as good as mine and if you don't review I think I'll cry!!!!
