Chapter 7
Lily, James, Remus, Sirius and Jade were waiting around for their rides when Satinka, Leah, Karisma came up.
"Lily! I'm gonna miss you promise to owl? We have to get together this summer sometime." Satinka said, while crying. Lily nodded.
"You must owl me and Karisma too! or else we'll hunt you down." Leah said pretending to be buff. Lily nods again.
"No matter how annoying you guys are I'll still miss you." Lily said pulling them into a big hug. Leah looks over Lily's shoulder and sees her mother. "Lily sorry but we gotta go. There's my mum." Lily nods and Karisma and Satinka follow Leah to their ride.
"So Lily after all those promises about owling people, do I still get an owl?" Jade said innocently. Lily looked at her best friend and gave her a big hug. "Of course. I expect to be seeing a lot of you this summer." Lily said after they stopped hugging, Jade nodded.
"Now its my turn for a goodbye." Sirius said taking Jade from Lily.
"Oh god he's gonna snog her." Remus said. Sure enough he lead her a little a way from hem before they started snogging.
"At least they went a way from us." James said. "Oh crap Sirius' mother. Sirius! Mummy's here!" James called to his friend. Who quickly broke away from Jade. Lily, Remus, and James were laughing as Mrs. Black walked up to them. "What's so funny?" she asked Remus. "Nothing." He said while chuckling. Sirius and Jade came over and Sirius introduced Jade.
"Mum this is Jade. My girlfriend." Sirius said pointing to Jade. Mrs. Black looked at Jade.
"Pleased to meet you." Jade said, shaking Mrs. Black's hand.
"Like wise." Mrs. Black said. To James. "I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you this summer." James nodded. "And that goes for you too , Remus." Remus smiled and nodded. "Who's this?" she asked when she reached Lily.
"This is Lily. My girlfriend." James said.
Mrs. Black nodded. "Hello Lily. Are you the same Lily James was complaining about last year?"
Lily smiled at James "That'll be me."
Mrs. Black smiled. "You two finally got together."
"Yep, right after I threw him in the lake." Lily said, Mrs. Black laughed.
"All right mum. Its time to go." Sirius said.
She nodded and said. "Ok, it was nice to meet you girls. Bye Remus." And with that she left, with Sirius behind her.
"I gotta go, Lily. see you later." James said, kissing her and then running to catch up with Sirius. Lily looked at Remus. "Shall we?" Remus smiled and said "Yeppers." Lily and Remus gathered their thing and headed over to his car.
"A new one? What happened to the last one?" Lily asked when they reached his car. "Mum wrecked it." Lily laughed as she put her things in the trunk. Remus finished putting his things in the trunk and then he hopped in the driver's seat. Lily jumped in the passenger seat. Remus stared the car and they took off.
Lily looked over at Remus, who looked like he was having a good time cruising, and said. "Remus can we stop off at my ho- my sisters' house? I need to get my car as soon as possible. She took over my parents' house." Remus looked over at Lily briefly and nodded. He turned down another road and followed the familiar route to his old neighborhood. Lily got there sooner then she'd expect them to, but she also hadn't been there for a year so things might have seemed longer when she was younger.
They pulled into the driveway, and Lily mumbled "Oh crap!" There in the garden stooped over her flowers was Petunia, Lily's sister. She looked up when the car came into the driveway. Petunia was always nosy and she was on her feet as soon as the car stopped and walking towards Lily and Remus. Lily got out of the car and before she could say anything Petunia said.
"You! I told you not to come back! And you brought your little freak friend too! I'm going to call the cops!"
Lily took a deep breath and angrily said. "Listen, I'm here for my car! So shut up with your crazy ramblings and let me get my CAR!" Remus applauded from the driver's seat of his car, Petunia glared at him. Lily brushed past her sister and walked around to the back of the house. A minute later an engine started. Remus backed out of the driveway as Lily drove in the grass around the house. Petunia's eyes grew wide as Lily took out one of her bushes, when she cut the corner around the house. Lily laughed as Petunia started screaming as Lily drove away.
She followed Remus who drove too carefully for Lily's taste, but that was the werewolf's personality. Lily had always loved the thrill of speeding, and she never got caught. Lily jumped when someone honked their horn at her, but then laughed because they most likely did it for her bumper sticker: Honk if you love silence!
~~~~ An hour later Remus pulled up in his driveway and a second later Lily parked right behind him. Lily got out the same time as Remus and called out to him. "Hey Remi! Haven't seen you in such a long time!"
Remus chuckled and said "Help me with our stuff." Lily walked over to him and grabbed her trunk, Asirai's, her owl, cage and finally a black muggle bookbag. Remus grabbed his things and they started towards the house.
Remus' house was huge, even when he was living near Lily he had a big house. Lily never really realized it until she saw his house. It was about the size of a small castle, Remus' family was one of those old wizdering families so they had tons of money. Lily followed Remus into the house. Remus dropped all his things down and yelled. "Mum! Dad! We're home!" He turned to Lily and motioned for her to put her things down. The moment she placed her things down two house elves came out of nowhere and gathered their things. Remus grabbed Lily's hand and lead her to the library. As soon as they walked in the door Remus dropped her hand and embraced his mother, Tabby. Lily stood off to the side, until Remus' mother finished hugging her son and turned to Lily. She strolled towards Lily and wrapped her in a hug.
"Glad you could stay sweetie." She whispered in Lily's ear. Lily nodded as they broke apart, Remus' dad walked over and said. "I hope your stay will be comfortable. I know I won't be here most of the time, but I'll still be somewhere. So if you feel you need to call me up and tell me what prank Remus and his friends pulled on you then just go a head." He smiled, Lily dug through her memories and remembered his name: Philip. He turned towards Remus and said. "Remus will you show Lily where she will be staying." Remus nodded and Philip turned towards Lily. "You can change your room to how ever you like it ok?"
Lily nodded and followed Remus out of the room. On the way up to her new room Remus filled her in on how the house worked and that such thing. Finally after what seemed like endless hours of walking Remus said "And here's your room." He opened the door and allowed Lily to go in first.
Lily's mouth dropped, the room was in a pale green with a dark green trim matching her eyes perfectly. Next to the window was a huge king size canopy bed, all light yellow matching the room perfectly. Remus smiled and walked passed Lily, who stood opened mouth still, and picked up a picture frame from the bedside table.
He turned towards Lily and said. "This is a welcome present from me." He handed Lily the picture frame, Lily smiled widely, the frame held a picture of her, Jade, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. That was back when they were friends, back in the fourth year. Lily smiled at Remus and said "Thanks." She gave him a hug and placed the picture back on the table.
"What do you want to do? We already had lunch." she said, turning back to Remus. He said. "How about a tour of the stables? Or do you want to go out riding?" "Lets go riding!" Lily said happily. Remus nodded and lead her out of the room, down stairs and outside. They walked around a small shed and behind it the large stable. Remus walked into a storage room and a minute later brought out two saddles and two bridles. Remus asked Would you like to pick out a horse?" Lily nodded and walked in between the stalls.
There were many different colors and breed but as she walked down she only saw four that grabbed her attention Typhoon or Ty for short, a medium gray dapple, Red ,a fairly large roan, Storm, a dark gray, and Demon, a the largest horse in the stables. He was black. Lily turned to Remus who was bring out werewolf, a deep brown horse.
"Ironic isn't it? My horse and me." Remus said, Lily could hear the sadness in his voice. Lily walked over to Remus and gave him a comforting hug. Then ran over to Demon's stall nearly scaring the horse out of his coat. Demon gave Lily a cold stare, which she returned. Demon lowered his head still looking at Lily, for some odd reason Lily did the same. Demon's head shot up and he gave a winny. Remus was suddenly beside her and he said. "Most people aren't smart enough to gain Demon's trust. You must be quite lucky, it took me three years to gain it."
Lily smiled and opened the door, Demon immediately started out. Lily turned towards her saddle and picked it up, thinking Remus had the horse. Lily looked up and saw Remus going over Werewolf's saddle. Lily gasped and whirled around, to her surprise Demon was standing behind her. Lily smiled and quickly tacked up the big horse. Lily finished and mounted her steed, Remus was already up and outside, Lily urged Demon to follow.
Remus and Lily trotted along the trail talking about school and some future pranks until Demon went wild and bolted. Lily cast a fearful glance towards Remus who was trying to catch up, but failing hopelessly, his horse was no match for Demon. Lily looked forward and gathered up more of Demon's silky mane. I'll just let him run himself tired and then we'll figure a way home. Lily thought. Demon ran on and on, it seemed like forever before he started to slow down and finally stop. In front of them was a small river, Demon walked into the river with out taking heed of Lily's complaints. Suddenly the water was rushing to meet Lily, she realized in time to jump off and land in the water. Lily surfaced and saw Demon rolling in the water. Lily jumped up and grabbed the reins.
"Demon you prat! Come on get up you big lug!" Lily said, half angry half laughing. She gently tugged on the reins and the horse slowly got to his feet. Lily walked out of the river with Demon behind her. Lily looked around and had no clue where she was. I'll just walk around, maybe Demon will find the way home. Lily thought as she led him back through the way she thought they came. They walked for a few minutes, it seemed in circles to Lily. Lily heard a gun shot, and ran over to were she heard it come from. They came up on to a small man, obviously not the one who was hunting since he had no gun.
"Hello. Do you know how to get to the Lupin's house?" Lily asked the old man, his back was turned away from her so she didn't see his face.
"Ah yes the Lupin's house that is over that way. Just ride in that direction you'll find it." The old man said and turned around. He had dark gray eyes and a barely any hair, what was left of the thin hair was all white. He looked at Lily with a soft expression.
"You are Lily Evens." Not a question but a statement.
"How'd you know?" Lily asked in wonderment.
"I know many things about you Lily, your past you present, and your future. I know your secrets, your fears, and your dreams. I know your loves, your hates, and your hopes. I know about your parents and how mean your sister is." The old man said softly. Lily's mouth dropped. How could he know about that? Lily thought. "What's your name?" she asked.
"My name is Mike."
"Where are you from Mike?" Lily asked sitting in front of him.
"Lots of places. As old as I am the places I've been to start to blend together." Mike said. Lily smiled and said. "Well I need to go, Remus will get worried."
"Ah yes Remus, he's a werewolf right?" Mike asked. Lily's mouth again and she stuttered. "H-how did you know that?"
"I told you I know lots of things, and yes I understand you are in a hurry. So I will not take anymore of your time. Run along and find Remus. He is worried about you already." Mike said.
Lily nodded and said. "I'll come again I wish to speak to you more."
Mike nods gravely and says. "I will teach you things you will need to help you in you future." Lily smiles, stands up and dusts herself off. "All right. Good bye." She said as she mounted Demon.
"Good bye." The old man said before turning around and walking away. Lily kicked demon in to a gallop and went in the direction Mike pointed. Ten minutes later Lily emerged from the woods, Remus was reentering the woods when she came out.
"Where have you been?" Remus asked. Lily looked down at Remus and said "I got lost and I couldn't find my way. I finally found your house." Lily said nodding in the direction of his house. She decided not to tell him about the old man, he and his parents would worry way to much. Remus smiled slightly, and Lily said "Come on up." she reached a hand down and Remus climbed up. Lily urged the horse in to a walk and the headed for the stables.
They entered and found tabby and Philip tacking up horses. "Hey mom. I found her." Tabby looked up and rushed over to the two teens. She helped them down off the big horse and then hugged Lily tightly. "Are you all right? Oh I'm so sorry about that!"
Philip walked over and gave Demon a little swat. "Demon you- you demon! Why'd you run off with our guest? Shame on you!" Demon snorted in response and they all laughed. Tabby guided Lily into the house, with Remus and his father behind them, and into the kitchen.
"Here Lily have something to eat. You must be hungry." Tabby said, fussing through the kitchen.
"Yea I guess so." Lily replied. Tabby started whipping up dinner from scratch, when an elf came in.
"Mrs. Tabby! What are you doing? You shouldn't be cooking. Here let Flick do it. You go and sit in the den. Ok?" Flick said.
Tabby laughed and said. "Its all right Flick, I can cook. Why don't you guys take the night off?"
Philip nodded and said. "Yea we can figure it all out." The elf nodded and walked out.
"Now where's the flour?" Tabby said, looking in a cupboard. She glanced up and groaned. "Oh no!"
Philip dumped a hand full of flour on his ex- wife's head and jumped away from her, laughing. Tabby climbed to her feet with her hands behind her back.
"Philip that wasn't very nice and you know how I love my revenge." She said sweetly she glanced over at Remus and slyly wiggled her fingers. Remus as quite as a mouse snuck around behind his father and grabbed a large glass of water from the table.
"That was a bad idea Philip." Tabby said and she threw some flour at her ex- husband. It landed on his head, Remus lunged forward and dumped the water on his head. Lily laughed and said "You guys are so funny!"
They all looked at Lily then at each other and smiled wickedly. Oh no! Lily thought and she turned and ran from the kitchen. Remus followed Lily with his parents behind him. Lily ran into the den and hid behind the couch.
"Lily come out come out, come out, where ever you are." Remus said sweetly, walking over to the couch. Philip was at the door and Tabby was on one side of the couch. Remus dumped water on Lily Tabby dumped flour on her as she jumped out from behind the couch and ran to the door. Only to be hit it the face with flour from Philip. Lily laughed and threw her hands in the air.
"All right you win!" she cried.
"Woo-hoo!" Remus yelled, running over to Lily and jumping on her back. They toppled to the floor. "Remus you big cow! Get off me!" Lily said from underneath him.
Remus got up and said. "Wanna go play some games?"
"All right!" Lily said. Remus and Lily left the room and went up to his room. Where they played wizard and muggle games until it was very late. Lily finally left, it was close to midnight, she walked into her room and immediately fell onto her bed and fell asleep.
The summer went by quickly for Lily, she became more accustom with Remus' house and became one of the family. Remus and Lily hung out with James and Sirius daily, with Jade who came over as long as she wasn't grounded. Lily visited Mike almost once a week, he taught her how to meditate, which will help her control her power and make it expand more. He taught her how to duel without a wand, he seemed to know all about her but Lily wasn't scared of him, in fact she was comforted knowing that someone was helping her. Lily also got a letter from Hogwarts saying she was head girl and James was head boy, they all celebrated that whole night. So Lily's summer went by faster then she wished and soon they were all in a compartment talking about their summer.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"When do we arrive at Hogwarts?" Peter asked.
"In about an hour." Sirius said absentmindedly. He and James were in a very intense game of exploding snap. Lily yawned and curled up on the seat, her head on James' lap. Lily fell asleep in a few seconds, jade laid on Lily and fell asleep like that. Remus laughed and pulled out two blankets and draped one over Jade and one over Lily, which was hard because he had to lift Jade's head. That's how they arrived at Hogwarts.
"Lily, Jade time to get up. We're here." James said shaking them awake. Lily yawned and looked at Jade with sleepy eyes and laughed.
"I guess we shouldn't have spent the whole night talking on the phone." Jade laughed and nodded. James shook his head, kissed Lily on the head and gathered up his stuff. Lily noticed they had changed into their robes.
"When did you guys get changed?" She asked. James looked up from his things and smiled.
"When you guys were sleeping, we changed in here." James said and Lily laughed.
"Then its our turn. Out now!" Lily said, playfully pushing the boys out the door.
"Are you sure you don't ant us to stay?" James said with a pleading face.
"Yes I'm sure! God I don't know why I put up with you!" Lily said smiling. He gave her a kiss and said.
"Because you love me." Lily groaned as he gave her a boyish grin before shutting the door behind him.
Lily and jade quickly changed, gathered their stuff and went into the hall. They all got off the train and gathered in a carriage. They reached the castle in no time and everyone gathered in the great hall. Satinka, Karisma, and Leah ran over to Lily and Jade and wrapped them in a big group hug. The boys looked at each other, smiled their evil smiles and joined in, squeezing the girls to death. "James, Sirius, Remus, and peter! If you don't let go of us right now you will have to pay to five angry girls! Your suffocating us!" Lily yelled, the boys backed off laughing and they all headed to the Gryffindor table. They reunited with friend and chatted happily with them until Professor McGonagall stepped up with a stool and the sorting hat. The entire school got quite and the old hat sang it's song. After it finished the Great hall exploded with clapping and yells.
Professor McGonagall opened a parchment and said. "When I call your name please step up to the stool, sit down on it, and place the hat on your head." She looked at the list and called. "Abrams, Joshua" A small blond boy stepped out of line, put on the hat and a minute later the hat shouted "HUFFLEPUFF!" The table cheered and the Josh sat down at the table.
The list went on and Lily clapped with the rest of the Gryffindors when they got a new student. The list finally ended but there were still four people left, all looked like they were in seventh year. Professor McGonagall stepped down and Albus Dumbledore stepped up. "Students of Hogwarts! We have four new exchange students, all from Beauxbaton. They will now be sorted." Dumbledore took the scroll from Professor McGonagall, eyes twinkling, he said. "Birch, Talia. A sixth year." A tall brunet walked forward and placed the hat on her head. A second later the hat yelled "RAVENCLAW!" The girl looked pleased as she sat down at her table.
Lily talked to Jade about the new first years as Dumbledore said. "Johnson, Veronica. A seventh year." The blond walked over to the hat and placed it on her head. The second it hit her it said. "SLYTHERIAN!" She smiled at Dumbledore and she walked over to the table and sat next to Snape.
"Thomas, Hunter. A seventh year." Dumbledore said, Lily's head snapped up and she craned her neck around to get a better look at the boy. The moment it touched his head the hat shouted. "GRYFFINDOR!" Lily shouted as the boy walked over to their table. she jumped up and tackled him, giving him a BIG hug. James eyed them suspiciously, Sirius looked at them in interest, and Remus jumped up to go greet Hunter. The three of them came back to the table and sat down, hunter opposite of Lily.
Lily looked pasted his head and squealed. "Its Kiel!" Just as she said that Dumbledore called the last student standing. "Thomas, Kiel. A seventh year." A mutter went around the room, obviously she and Hunter were twins.
She placed the hat on her head, a second later the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" Kiel took the hat off and ran over to Lily, giving her a big hug.
"OH MY GOD! I can't believe you guys are here!" Lily said.
"I know! Its so unreal!" Kiel said while sitting next to her brother. Dumbledore clapped his hands and said. "Lets eat!" The plates filled with all kinds of food, from all over the world. They filled their plats quickly and Lily said. "Hunter, Kiel, this is Sirius, Jade, Peter Remus, and James my boy friend." Lily pointed to each one in turn, James smiled happily. They all said their hellos and Sirius asked. "Where and how did you guys meet?" Lily looked at Remus and asked. "They came to our neighborhood, when we were seven or eight?" Remus looked like he was thinking for a second and said. "Eight." Lily nodded and continued. "Yea when we were eight they move to our neighborhood, we all became friends. I tired to keep in touch but someone never wrote me back!" Lily looked accusingly at Kiel.
"I'm sorry we moved so many times I lost your address!" Kiel said. Lily smiled and said. "Its all right." They finished their dinner and they all headed up to the common room. Lily told the fat lady the password and they all headed in. No one was up from dinner so the had the common room all to their selves. Sirius went up to his room for a second. Jade looked at everyone and whispered "HIDE!" Lily laughed and pulled Kiel over to the sofa in the corner and they hid behind it, Jade came over a second later and hid with them. Remus and James hid in the shadows, while Hunter looked around. Lily motioned for him to come over, there wasn't enough room for all four so Lily got out. She looked around frantically, she froze Sirius was coming down the steps. Lily looked at the opened window and made a dive for it. She pulled herself around the corner just when Sirius appeared from the stairs. Lily laughed silently as Sirius looked around the empty room, confused. She could see everyone clearly, James was looking from Sirius to Lily. She caught his eye and waved slightly, he smiled. Remus was hiding in the corner near the door, and Hunter was squished in the corner, his sister next to him and next to her was Jade.
Sirius looked over at the sofa and smiled knowingly, he crept over to it, trying not to laugh. He quickly appeared at the top but no one saw him. "BOO!" he yelled. The girls screamed and Hunter jumped, covering his ears. Sirius laughed and turned to the rest of the room. He looked around and spotted Remus, he ran over to him at top speed and yelling indistinguishable words. Remus tried to move but he couldn't move fast enough. James ran out of his hiding place and over to the window, where he motioned for Hunter, Kiel, and Jade to follow. They got off the sofa, where they were sitting, and followed James out the window. Sirius and Remus didn't notice as the four crept out the window and hid behind the corner. when Sirius finished attacking Remus, he turned to the rest of the room. The five out the window saw his eyes fall on the sofa, where the others had been, then he noticed the open window. He smiled, turned back to Remus and said something softly. Remus looked over Sirius' shoulder and glanced around the rest of the room. He said something to Sirius and they walked over to the window. Lily motioned the rest to follow and she climbed over the next tower, with the other in her tow.
Remus and Sirius stuck their heads out the window and looked around. Remus nudged Sirius with his elbow and nodded over at the next tower, where they saw Jade climbing over the next rise. Sirius looked at Remus with a smile and glistening eyes. He pulled his head back in and dashed up to his room. He came down a second later with two broom sticks in his hands. Remus smiled, catching on to his plan and took the broom from his grasp.
"All right you come up from the front and scare them so they turn around. I'll be waiting behind them with a little surprise." Sirius said, explaining his plan. Remus nodded and stepped out onto the ledge, Sirius followed once he was out of the way. They hopped on their brooms, the new nimbus, and flew off. Remus flew over to the rise and waited a few seconds, to make sure Sirius was in place, before he quickly rose in the air. They were sitting in a circle, listening for footsteps, when Remus screamed. "BOO!"
All of them screamed and jumped up. Remus laughed silently when he saw Sirius move slightly in the shadows. They turned to run, obviously looking for another hiding place. Sirius came out for the dark, hanging upside down, wearing a troll mask. The boys jumped slightly but the girls all screamed. Kiel, the one closest to the edge, gave the biggest jump and scream. But when she looked up and saw Sirius taking off the mask she got angry. She stomped her foot hard on the roof and somehow ended up losing her balance. Remus, the only one who was paying attention, watched in horror as Kiel completely lost her balance and fell forward, off the edge of the roof.
Before another thought coursed threw his mind he dove forward, air whistled passed his ears as he gathered more speed. He could see Kiel falling just ten feet from him. Remus leans in more and gathers speed. He reaches out and grabs Kiel around the waist, she is just five feet from the sharp spikes on a lower roof. Remus steadies the broom and asks. "Are you all right?"
Kiel looks at Remus, which was kind of hard to do since he was still holding her by the waist. Remus seemed to sense this and he lowers the broom gently on to the nearest flat roof. Their feet touch and Remus lets go of Kiel and climbs off the broom. Kiel turns to Remus and bursts into sobs. Remus pulled her into a hug and gently stroked her hair. She tried to quiet her cries and she managed to say. "Oh my god, if you weren't there. If you didn't catch me, I'd be."
"Its all right, I caught you." Remus said. Pulling her back so he could look at her face. He gazed into her tear-filled, blue-black eyes as he tucked a strand of silky black hair behind her ear. "Are you all right?" He asked her, again.
"Yea, I guess so." She whispered looking into Remus' storm gray eyes. Remus leaned in and gave her a kiss, full on the lips. Kiel was a little shocked but returned the kiss with passion.
James, Lily, Sirius, Jade and Hunter broke out clapping and whistling, causing the two kissers to break apart, their cheeks red in embarrassment. They looked up at the group far above them, and Kiel gave them the finger. Remus laughed, picked up his broom, and asked. "Ready?" Kiel turned back to Remus. "Yea but one quick question. Does this mean were going out?" she asked as she climbed in behind Remus. Remus chuckled and said. "If you want of course, I mean I know I'd like it." Kiel smiled and said. "All right, lets go then Honey." Remus smiled and lifted off the roof, rising quickly. They were with the others in no time flat.
"Awww!" they all said together. Remus and Kiel just smiled and flew over to the open window. Everyone follow them and they climbed threw the window one by one, less they were to be noticed since there was a large crowd in the common room. One by one they all sat down at a table together, no one was noticed when they snuck in. they saw Peter looking around in the crowd, he finally noticed them, and walked over.
"Hey guys!" He said in a squeaky voice.
"Hi, Peter." They replied together. They all looked at each other and laughed. "What's so funny?" He asked as he slid into the seat next to Kiel. This only made them laugh even more. "So your new here, huh? Well if you need any one to show you around just come and find me. I'll be hanging out with the Marauders." He said boastfully. Sirius and James snickered, as Kiel turned to him. "Really? You'll be hanging out with the Marauders? Wow!" She said in mock awe. Then it turned to happiness. "What a coincide! Me too!" Peter looked as though Christmas had come early and the tree was made of chocolate. "Wait does this mean what I think it means? You want to go out with me?"
Kiel looked at Peter in horror, as Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Hunter started cracking up. "Um. No. I'm going out with Remus." Peter blushed a great deal and mumbled an apology.
"Remus, you better watch out for that one! he might steal your girlfriend right out from under your nose." James said, laughing. Lily and Sirius began to crack up they tumbled out of their seats and ended up in a heap on the floor, still laughing. Kiel looked like she was going to throw up and looked like she would kill James for even suggesting it. Until she cocked her head slightly to the side, eyes half closed, and she started nodding slightly. Hunter was looking at his sister calmly, Lily and Sirius climbed to their seats, still chuckling. They looked around the table and saw everyone looking at the twins, who sat directly across from each other. Lily and Sirius stopped laughing and stared at the twins in interest. Hunter finally glanced up and noticed everyone staring at them, he looked at his sister who lifted her head up and looked around.
"What?" She asked calmly. Lily rose and eyebrow, then looked like she was thinking. She snapped her fingers and exclaimed. "Oh yea! You told me about that!" Everyone was now looking from Lily, to Kiel, to Hunter. Lily looked around the table giggling. Remus finally caught on and said. "That's right now I remember."
Lily shook her head and said. "They can speak mind to mind. Its a twin thing." James and Sirius nodded, finally understanding.
Peter got up grumpily and said "Good night." Before heading up to bed. Sirius went over to talk to a fellow Quidditch teammate, and Hunter said. "Well I guess I'll be heading to bed too. I'm extremely tired. Good night." Hunter started to head up to bed, but Remus called him back. "Hunter wait, I'll show you where to sleep. Good night Kiel." Remus gave her a quick kiss and headed up to their dorm with Hunter. Kiel yawned, Lily yawned, and then James yawned too. "Its contagious!" Lily said giggling. "I'm going to head to bed. You ready Jade?" Lily asked her friend, when she got no answer she looked around for her friend. James snickered and pointed across the table, Jade was draped across two of the chairs, fast asleep. "Sirius, come here." Lily called. Sirius finished up his conversation and walked over to the table.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Help." Lily said pointing to Jade. Sirius smiled and picked Jade up. He followed Lily and Kiel up to their dorm. Carefully he laid Jade down on her bed and tucked her in. He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and left the room silently.
He walked down the stairs and over to James. "I think I'm going to bed." He said.
"Me too. Come on lets go." James replied and they walked up to their dorm room. Where they changed and fell fast asleep, like the other boys in the room. They were all fast asleep because tomorrow was the first day of classes, a big day indeed. Very Big. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Dun dun dun! Ohhhh Peter got shut down! ha ha ha!

Lily, James, Remus, Sirius and Jade were waiting around for their rides when Satinka, Leah, Karisma came up.
"Lily! I'm gonna miss you promise to owl? We have to get together this summer sometime." Satinka said, while crying. Lily nodded.
"You must owl me and Karisma too! or else we'll hunt you down." Leah said pretending to be buff. Lily nods again.
"No matter how annoying you guys are I'll still miss you." Lily said pulling them into a big hug. Leah looks over Lily's shoulder and sees her mother. "Lily sorry but we gotta go. There's my mum." Lily nods and Karisma and Satinka follow Leah to their ride.
"So Lily after all those promises about owling people, do I still get an owl?" Jade said innocently. Lily looked at her best friend and gave her a big hug. "Of course. I expect to be seeing a lot of you this summer." Lily said after they stopped hugging, Jade nodded.
"Now its my turn for a goodbye." Sirius said taking Jade from Lily.
"Oh god he's gonna snog her." Remus said. Sure enough he lead her a little a way from hem before they started snogging.
"At least they went a way from us." James said. "Oh crap Sirius' mother. Sirius! Mummy's here!" James called to his friend. Who quickly broke away from Jade. Lily, Remus, and James were laughing as Mrs. Black walked up to them. "What's so funny?" she asked Remus. "Nothing." He said while chuckling. Sirius and Jade came over and Sirius introduced Jade.
"Mum this is Jade. My girlfriend." Sirius said pointing to Jade. Mrs. Black looked at Jade.
"Pleased to meet you." Jade said, shaking Mrs. Black's hand.
"Like wise." Mrs. Black said. To James. "I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you this summer." James nodded. "And that goes for you too , Remus." Remus smiled and nodded. "Who's this?" she asked when she reached Lily.
"This is Lily. My girlfriend." James said.
Mrs. Black nodded. "Hello Lily. Are you the same Lily James was complaining about last year?"
Lily smiled at James "That'll be me."
Mrs. Black smiled. "You two finally got together."
"Yep, right after I threw him in the lake." Lily said, Mrs. Black laughed.
"All right mum. Its time to go." Sirius said.
She nodded and said. "Ok, it was nice to meet you girls. Bye Remus." And with that she left, with Sirius behind her.
"I gotta go, Lily. see you later." James said, kissing her and then running to catch up with Sirius. Lily looked at Remus. "Shall we?" Remus smiled and said "Yeppers." Lily and Remus gathered their thing and headed over to his car.
"A new one? What happened to the last one?" Lily asked when they reached his car. "Mum wrecked it." Lily laughed as she put her things in the trunk. Remus finished putting his things in the trunk and then he hopped in the driver's seat. Lily jumped in the passenger seat. Remus stared the car and they took off.
Lily looked over at Remus, who looked like he was having a good time cruising, and said. "Remus can we stop off at my ho- my sisters' house? I need to get my car as soon as possible. She took over my parents' house." Remus looked over at Lily briefly and nodded. He turned down another road and followed the familiar route to his old neighborhood. Lily got there sooner then she'd expect them to, but she also hadn't been there for a year so things might have seemed longer when she was younger.
They pulled into the driveway, and Lily mumbled "Oh crap!" There in the garden stooped over her flowers was Petunia, Lily's sister. She looked up when the car came into the driveway. Petunia was always nosy and she was on her feet as soon as the car stopped and walking towards Lily and Remus. Lily got out of the car and before she could say anything Petunia said.
"You! I told you not to come back! And you brought your little freak friend too! I'm going to call the cops!"
Lily took a deep breath and angrily said. "Listen, I'm here for my car! So shut up with your crazy ramblings and let me get my CAR!" Remus applauded from the driver's seat of his car, Petunia glared at him. Lily brushed past her sister and walked around to the back of the house. A minute later an engine started. Remus backed out of the driveway as Lily drove in the grass around the house. Petunia's eyes grew wide as Lily took out one of her bushes, when she cut the corner around the house. Lily laughed as Petunia started screaming as Lily drove away.
She followed Remus who drove too carefully for Lily's taste, but that was the werewolf's personality. Lily had always loved the thrill of speeding, and she never got caught. Lily jumped when someone honked their horn at her, but then laughed because they most likely did it for her bumper sticker: Honk if you love silence!
~~~~ An hour later Remus pulled up in his driveway and a second later Lily parked right behind him. Lily got out the same time as Remus and called out to him. "Hey Remi! Haven't seen you in such a long time!"
Remus chuckled and said "Help me with our stuff." Lily walked over to him and grabbed her trunk, Asirai's, her owl, cage and finally a black muggle bookbag. Remus grabbed his things and they started towards the house.
Remus' house was huge, even when he was living near Lily he had a big house. Lily never really realized it until she saw his house. It was about the size of a small castle, Remus' family was one of those old wizdering families so they had tons of money. Lily followed Remus into the house. Remus dropped all his things down and yelled. "Mum! Dad! We're home!" He turned to Lily and motioned for her to put her things down. The moment she placed her things down two house elves came out of nowhere and gathered their things. Remus grabbed Lily's hand and lead her to the library. As soon as they walked in the door Remus dropped her hand and embraced his mother, Tabby. Lily stood off to the side, until Remus' mother finished hugging her son and turned to Lily. She strolled towards Lily and wrapped her in a hug.
"Glad you could stay sweetie." She whispered in Lily's ear. Lily nodded as they broke apart, Remus' dad walked over and said. "I hope your stay will be comfortable. I know I won't be here most of the time, but I'll still be somewhere. So if you feel you need to call me up and tell me what prank Remus and his friends pulled on you then just go a head." He smiled, Lily dug through her memories and remembered his name: Philip. He turned towards Remus and said. "Remus will you show Lily where she will be staying." Remus nodded and Philip turned towards Lily. "You can change your room to how ever you like it ok?"
Lily nodded and followed Remus out of the room. On the way up to her new room Remus filled her in on how the house worked and that such thing. Finally after what seemed like endless hours of walking Remus said "And here's your room." He opened the door and allowed Lily to go in first.
Lily's mouth dropped, the room was in a pale green with a dark green trim matching her eyes perfectly. Next to the window was a huge king size canopy bed, all light yellow matching the room perfectly. Remus smiled and walked passed Lily, who stood opened mouth still, and picked up a picture frame from the bedside table.
He turned towards Lily and said. "This is a welcome present from me." He handed Lily the picture frame, Lily smiled widely, the frame held a picture of her, Jade, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. That was back when they were friends, back in the fourth year. Lily smiled at Remus and said "Thanks." She gave him a hug and placed the picture back on the table.
"What do you want to do? We already had lunch." she said, turning back to Remus. He said. "How about a tour of the stables? Or do you want to go out riding?" "Lets go riding!" Lily said happily. Remus nodded and lead her out of the room, down stairs and outside. They walked around a small shed and behind it the large stable. Remus walked into a storage room and a minute later brought out two saddles and two bridles. Remus asked Would you like to pick out a horse?" Lily nodded and walked in between the stalls.
There were many different colors and breed but as she walked down she only saw four that grabbed her attention Typhoon or Ty for short, a medium gray dapple, Red ,a fairly large roan, Storm, a dark gray, and Demon, a the largest horse in the stables. He was black. Lily turned to Remus who was bring out werewolf, a deep brown horse.
"Ironic isn't it? My horse and me." Remus said, Lily could hear the sadness in his voice. Lily walked over to Remus and gave him a comforting hug. Then ran over to Demon's stall nearly scaring the horse out of his coat. Demon gave Lily a cold stare, which she returned. Demon lowered his head still looking at Lily, for some odd reason Lily did the same. Demon's head shot up and he gave a winny. Remus was suddenly beside her and he said. "Most people aren't smart enough to gain Demon's trust. You must be quite lucky, it took me three years to gain it."
Lily smiled and opened the door, Demon immediately started out. Lily turned towards her saddle and picked it up, thinking Remus had the horse. Lily looked up and saw Remus going over Werewolf's saddle. Lily gasped and whirled around, to her surprise Demon was standing behind her. Lily smiled and quickly tacked up the big horse. Lily finished and mounted her steed, Remus was already up and outside, Lily urged Demon to follow.
Remus and Lily trotted along the trail talking about school and some future pranks until Demon went wild and bolted. Lily cast a fearful glance towards Remus who was trying to catch up, but failing hopelessly, his horse was no match for Demon. Lily looked forward and gathered up more of Demon's silky mane. I'll just let him run himself tired and then we'll figure a way home. Lily thought. Demon ran on and on, it seemed like forever before he started to slow down and finally stop. In front of them was a small river, Demon walked into the river with out taking heed of Lily's complaints. Suddenly the water was rushing to meet Lily, she realized in time to jump off and land in the water. Lily surfaced and saw Demon rolling in the water. Lily jumped up and grabbed the reins.
"Demon you prat! Come on get up you big lug!" Lily said, half angry half laughing. She gently tugged on the reins and the horse slowly got to his feet. Lily walked out of the river with Demon behind her. Lily looked around and had no clue where she was. I'll just walk around, maybe Demon will find the way home. Lily thought as she led him back through the way she thought they came. They walked for a few minutes, it seemed in circles to Lily. Lily heard a gun shot, and ran over to were she heard it come from. They came up on to a small man, obviously not the one who was hunting since he had no gun.
"Hello. Do you know how to get to the Lupin's house?" Lily asked the old man, his back was turned away from her so she didn't see his face.
"Ah yes the Lupin's house that is over that way. Just ride in that direction you'll find it." The old man said and turned around. He had dark gray eyes and a barely any hair, what was left of the thin hair was all white. He looked at Lily with a soft expression.
"You are Lily Evens." Not a question but a statement.
"How'd you know?" Lily asked in wonderment.
"I know many things about you Lily, your past you present, and your future. I know your secrets, your fears, and your dreams. I know your loves, your hates, and your hopes. I know about your parents and how mean your sister is." The old man said softly. Lily's mouth dropped. How could he know about that? Lily thought. "What's your name?" she asked.
"My name is Mike."
"Where are you from Mike?" Lily asked sitting in front of him.
"Lots of places. As old as I am the places I've been to start to blend together." Mike said. Lily smiled and said. "Well I need to go, Remus will get worried."
"Ah yes Remus, he's a werewolf right?" Mike asked. Lily's mouth again and she stuttered. "H-how did you know that?"
"I told you I know lots of things, and yes I understand you are in a hurry. So I will not take anymore of your time. Run along and find Remus. He is worried about you already." Mike said.
Lily nodded and said. "I'll come again I wish to speak to you more."
Mike nods gravely and says. "I will teach you things you will need to help you in you future." Lily smiles, stands up and dusts herself off. "All right. Good bye." She said as she mounted Demon.
"Good bye." The old man said before turning around and walking away. Lily kicked demon in to a gallop and went in the direction Mike pointed. Ten minutes later Lily emerged from the woods, Remus was reentering the woods when she came out.
"Where have you been?" Remus asked. Lily looked down at Remus and said "I got lost and I couldn't find my way. I finally found your house." Lily said nodding in the direction of his house. She decided not to tell him about the old man, he and his parents would worry way to much. Remus smiled slightly, and Lily said "Come on up." she reached a hand down and Remus climbed up. Lily urged the horse in to a walk and the headed for the stables.
They entered and found tabby and Philip tacking up horses. "Hey mom. I found her." Tabby looked up and rushed over to the two teens. She helped them down off the big horse and then hugged Lily tightly. "Are you all right? Oh I'm so sorry about that!"
Philip walked over and gave Demon a little swat. "Demon you- you demon! Why'd you run off with our guest? Shame on you!" Demon snorted in response and they all laughed. Tabby guided Lily into the house, with Remus and his father behind them, and into the kitchen.
"Here Lily have something to eat. You must be hungry." Tabby said, fussing through the kitchen.
"Yea I guess so." Lily replied. Tabby started whipping up dinner from scratch, when an elf came in.
"Mrs. Tabby! What are you doing? You shouldn't be cooking. Here let Flick do it. You go and sit in the den. Ok?" Flick said.
Tabby laughed and said. "Its all right Flick, I can cook. Why don't you guys take the night off?"
Philip nodded and said. "Yea we can figure it all out." The elf nodded and walked out.
"Now where's the flour?" Tabby said, looking in a cupboard. She glanced up and groaned. "Oh no!"
Philip dumped a hand full of flour on his ex- wife's head and jumped away from her, laughing. Tabby climbed to her feet with her hands behind her back.
"Philip that wasn't very nice and you know how I love my revenge." She said sweetly she glanced over at Remus and slyly wiggled her fingers. Remus as quite as a mouse snuck around behind his father and grabbed a large glass of water from the table.
"That was a bad idea Philip." Tabby said and she threw some flour at her ex- husband. It landed on his head, Remus lunged forward and dumped the water on his head. Lily laughed and said "You guys are so funny!"
They all looked at Lily then at each other and smiled wickedly. Oh no! Lily thought and she turned and ran from the kitchen. Remus followed Lily with his parents behind him. Lily ran into the den and hid behind the couch.
"Lily come out come out, come out, where ever you are." Remus said sweetly, walking over to the couch. Philip was at the door and Tabby was on one side of the couch. Remus dumped water on Lily Tabby dumped flour on her as she jumped out from behind the couch and ran to the door. Only to be hit it the face with flour from Philip. Lily laughed and threw her hands in the air.
"All right you win!" she cried.
"Woo-hoo!" Remus yelled, running over to Lily and jumping on her back. They toppled to the floor. "Remus you big cow! Get off me!" Lily said from underneath him.
Remus got up and said. "Wanna go play some games?"
"All right!" Lily said. Remus and Lily left the room and went up to his room. Where they played wizard and muggle games until it was very late. Lily finally left, it was close to midnight, she walked into her room and immediately fell onto her bed and fell asleep.
The summer went by quickly for Lily, she became more accustom with Remus' house and became one of the family. Remus and Lily hung out with James and Sirius daily, with Jade who came over as long as she wasn't grounded. Lily visited Mike almost once a week, he taught her how to meditate, which will help her control her power and make it expand more. He taught her how to duel without a wand, he seemed to know all about her but Lily wasn't scared of him, in fact she was comforted knowing that someone was helping her. Lily also got a letter from Hogwarts saying she was head girl and James was head boy, they all celebrated that whole night. So Lily's summer went by faster then she wished and soon they were all in a compartment talking about their summer.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"When do we arrive at Hogwarts?" Peter asked.
"In about an hour." Sirius said absentmindedly. He and James were in a very intense game of exploding snap. Lily yawned and curled up on the seat, her head on James' lap. Lily fell asleep in a few seconds, jade laid on Lily and fell asleep like that. Remus laughed and pulled out two blankets and draped one over Jade and one over Lily, which was hard because he had to lift Jade's head. That's how they arrived at Hogwarts.
"Lily, Jade time to get up. We're here." James said shaking them awake. Lily yawned and looked at Jade with sleepy eyes and laughed.
"I guess we shouldn't have spent the whole night talking on the phone." Jade laughed and nodded. James shook his head, kissed Lily on the head and gathered up his stuff. Lily noticed they had changed into their robes.
"When did you guys get changed?" She asked. James looked up from his things and smiled.
"When you guys were sleeping, we changed in here." James said and Lily laughed.
"Then its our turn. Out now!" Lily said, playfully pushing the boys out the door.
"Are you sure you don't ant us to stay?" James said with a pleading face.
"Yes I'm sure! God I don't know why I put up with you!" Lily said smiling. He gave her a kiss and said.
"Because you love me." Lily groaned as he gave her a boyish grin before shutting the door behind him.
Lily and jade quickly changed, gathered their stuff and went into the hall. They all got off the train and gathered in a carriage. They reached the castle in no time and everyone gathered in the great hall. Satinka, Karisma, and Leah ran over to Lily and Jade and wrapped them in a big group hug. The boys looked at each other, smiled their evil smiles and joined in, squeezing the girls to death. "James, Sirius, Remus, and peter! If you don't let go of us right now you will have to pay to five angry girls! Your suffocating us!" Lily yelled, the boys backed off laughing and they all headed to the Gryffindor table. They reunited with friend and chatted happily with them until Professor McGonagall stepped up with a stool and the sorting hat. The entire school got quite and the old hat sang it's song. After it finished the Great hall exploded with clapping and yells.
Professor McGonagall opened a parchment and said. "When I call your name please step up to the stool, sit down on it, and place the hat on your head." She looked at the list and called. "Abrams, Joshua" A small blond boy stepped out of line, put on the hat and a minute later the hat shouted "HUFFLEPUFF!" The table cheered and the Josh sat down at the table.
The list went on and Lily clapped with the rest of the Gryffindors when they got a new student. The list finally ended but there were still four people left, all looked like they were in seventh year. Professor McGonagall stepped down and Albus Dumbledore stepped up. "Students of Hogwarts! We have four new exchange students, all from Beauxbaton. They will now be sorted." Dumbledore took the scroll from Professor McGonagall, eyes twinkling, he said. "Birch, Talia. A sixth year." A tall brunet walked forward and placed the hat on her head. A second later the hat yelled "RAVENCLAW!" The girl looked pleased as she sat down at her table.
Lily talked to Jade about the new first years as Dumbledore said. "Johnson, Veronica. A seventh year." The blond walked over to the hat and placed it on her head. The second it hit her it said. "SLYTHERIAN!" She smiled at Dumbledore and she walked over to the table and sat next to Snape.
"Thomas, Hunter. A seventh year." Dumbledore said, Lily's head snapped up and she craned her neck around to get a better look at the boy. The moment it touched his head the hat shouted. "GRYFFINDOR!" Lily shouted as the boy walked over to their table. she jumped up and tackled him, giving him a BIG hug. James eyed them suspiciously, Sirius looked at them in interest, and Remus jumped up to go greet Hunter. The three of them came back to the table and sat down, hunter opposite of Lily.
Lily looked pasted his head and squealed. "Its Kiel!" Just as she said that Dumbledore called the last student standing. "Thomas, Kiel. A seventh year." A mutter went around the room, obviously she and Hunter were twins.
She placed the hat on her head, a second later the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" Kiel took the hat off and ran over to Lily, giving her a big hug.
"OH MY GOD! I can't believe you guys are here!" Lily said.
"I know! Its so unreal!" Kiel said while sitting next to her brother. Dumbledore clapped his hands and said. "Lets eat!" The plates filled with all kinds of food, from all over the world. They filled their plats quickly and Lily said. "Hunter, Kiel, this is Sirius, Jade, Peter Remus, and James my boy friend." Lily pointed to each one in turn, James smiled happily. They all said their hellos and Sirius asked. "Where and how did you guys meet?" Lily looked at Remus and asked. "They came to our neighborhood, when we were seven or eight?" Remus looked like he was thinking for a second and said. "Eight." Lily nodded and continued. "Yea when we were eight they move to our neighborhood, we all became friends. I tired to keep in touch but someone never wrote me back!" Lily looked accusingly at Kiel.
"I'm sorry we moved so many times I lost your address!" Kiel said. Lily smiled and said. "Its all right." They finished their dinner and they all headed up to the common room. Lily told the fat lady the password and they all headed in. No one was up from dinner so the had the common room all to their selves. Sirius went up to his room for a second. Jade looked at everyone and whispered "HIDE!" Lily laughed and pulled Kiel over to the sofa in the corner and they hid behind it, Jade came over a second later and hid with them. Remus and James hid in the shadows, while Hunter looked around. Lily motioned for him to come over, there wasn't enough room for all four so Lily got out. She looked around frantically, she froze Sirius was coming down the steps. Lily looked at the opened window and made a dive for it. She pulled herself around the corner just when Sirius appeared from the stairs. Lily laughed silently as Sirius looked around the empty room, confused. She could see everyone clearly, James was looking from Sirius to Lily. She caught his eye and waved slightly, he smiled. Remus was hiding in the corner near the door, and Hunter was squished in the corner, his sister next to him and next to her was Jade.
Sirius looked over at the sofa and smiled knowingly, he crept over to it, trying not to laugh. He quickly appeared at the top but no one saw him. "BOO!" he yelled. The girls screamed and Hunter jumped, covering his ears. Sirius laughed and turned to the rest of the room. He looked around and spotted Remus, he ran over to him at top speed and yelling indistinguishable words. Remus tried to move but he couldn't move fast enough. James ran out of his hiding place and over to the window, where he motioned for Hunter, Kiel, and Jade to follow. They got off the sofa, where they were sitting, and followed James out the window. Sirius and Remus didn't notice as the four crept out the window and hid behind the corner. when Sirius finished attacking Remus, he turned to the rest of the room. The five out the window saw his eyes fall on the sofa, where the others had been, then he noticed the open window. He smiled, turned back to Remus and said something softly. Remus looked over Sirius' shoulder and glanced around the rest of the room. He said something to Sirius and they walked over to the window. Lily motioned the rest to follow and she climbed over the next tower, with the other in her tow.
Remus and Sirius stuck their heads out the window and looked around. Remus nudged Sirius with his elbow and nodded over at the next tower, where they saw Jade climbing over the next rise. Sirius looked at Remus with a smile and glistening eyes. He pulled his head back in and dashed up to his room. He came down a second later with two broom sticks in his hands. Remus smiled, catching on to his plan and took the broom from his grasp.
"All right you come up from the front and scare them so they turn around. I'll be waiting behind them with a little surprise." Sirius said, explaining his plan. Remus nodded and stepped out onto the ledge, Sirius followed once he was out of the way. They hopped on their brooms, the new nimbus, and flew off. Remus flew over to the rise and waited a few seconds, to make sure Sirius was in place, before he quickly rose in the air. They were sitting in a circle, listening for footsteps, when Remus screamed. "BOO!"
All of them screamed and jumped up. Remus laughed silently when he saw Sirius move slightly in the shadows. They turned to run, obviously looking for another hiding place. Sirius came out for the dark, hanging upside down, wearing a troll mask. The boys jumped slightly but the girls all screamed. Kiel, the one closest to the edge, gave the biggest jump and scream. But when she looked up and saw Sirius taking off the mask she got angry. She stomped her foot hard on the roof and somehow ended up losing her balance. Remus, the only one who was paying attention, watched in horror as Kiel completely lost her balance and fell forward, off the edge of the roof.
Before another thought coursed threw his mind he dove forward, air whistled passed his ears as he gathered more speed. He could see Kiel falling just ten feet from him. Remus leans in more and gathers speed. He reaches out and grabs Kiel around the waist, she is just five feet from the sharp spikes on a lower roof. Remus steadies the broom and asks. "Are you all right?"
Kiel looks at Remus, which was kind of hard to do since he was still holding her by the waist. Remus seemed to sense this and he lowers the broom gently on to the nearest flat roof. Their feet touch and Remus lets go of Kiel and climbs off the broom. Kiel turns to Remus and bursts into sobs. Remus pulled her into a hug and gently stroked her hair. She tried to quiet her cries and she managed to say. "Oh my god, if you weren't there. If you didn't catch me, I'd be."
"Its all right, I caught you." Remus said. Pulling her back so he could look at her face. He gazed into her tear-filled, blue-black eyes as he tucked a strand of silky black hair behind her ear. "Are you all right?" He asked her, again.
"Yea, I guess so." She whispered looking into Remus' storm gray eyes. Remus leaned in and gave her a kiss, full on the lips. Kiel was a little shocked but returned the kiss with passion.
James, Lily, Sirius, Jade and Hunter broke out clapping and whistling, causing the two kissers to break apart, their cheeks red in embarrassment. They looked up at the group far above them, and Kiel gave them the finger. Remus laughed, picked up his broom, and asked. "Ready?" Kiel turned back to Remus. "Yea but one quick question. Does this mean were going out?" she asked as she climbed in behind Remus. Remus chuckled and said. "If you want of course, I mean I know I'd like it." Kiel smiled and said. "All right, lets go then Honey." Remus smiled and lifted off the roof, rising quickly. They were with the others in no time flat.
"Awww!" they all said together. Remus and Kiel just smiled and flew over to the open window. Everyone follow them and they climbed threw the window one by one, less they were to be noticed since there was a large crowd in the common room. One by one they all sat down at a table together, no one was noticed when they snuck in. they saw Peter looking around in the crowd, he finally noticed them, and walked over.
"Hey guys!" He said in a squeaky voice.
"Hi, Peter." They replied together. They all looked at each other and laughed. "What's so funny?" He asked as he slid into the seat next to Kiel. This only made them laugh even more. "So your new here, huh? Well if you need any one to show you around just come and find me. I'll be hanging out with the Marauders." He said boastfully. Sirius and James snickered, as Kiel turned to him. "Really? You'll be hanging out with the Marauders? Wow!" She said in mock awe. Then it turned to happiness. "What a coincide! Me too!" Peter looked as though Christmas had come early and the tree was made of chocolate. "Wait does this mean what I think it means? You want to go out with me?"
Kiel looked at Peter in horror, as Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Hunter started cracking up. "Um. No. I'm going out with Remus." Peter blushed a great deal and mumbled an apology.
"Remus, you better watch out for that one! he might steal your girlfriend right out from under your nose." James said, laughing. Lily and Sirius began to crack up they tumbled out of their seats and ended up in a heap on the floor, still laughing. Kiel looked like she was going to throw up and looked like she would kill James for even suggesting it. Until she cocked her head slightly to the side, eyes half closed, and she started nodding slightly. Hunter was looking at his sister calmly, Lily and Sirius climbed to their seats, still chuckling. They looked around the table and saw everyone looking at the twins, who sat directly across from each other. Lily and Sirius stopped laughing and stared at the twins in interest. Hunter finally glanced up and noticed everyone staring at them, he looked at his sister who lifted her head up and looked around.
"What?" She asked calmly. Lily rose and eyebrow, then looked like she was thinking. She snapped her fingers and exclaimed. "Oh yea! You told me about that!" Everyone was now looking from Lily, to Kiel, to Hunter. Lily looked around the table giggling. Remus finally caught on and said. "That's right now I remember."
Lily shook her head and said. "They can speak mind to mind. Its a twin thing." James and Sirius nodded, finally understanding.
Peter got up grumpily and said "Good night." Before heading up to bed. Sirius went over to talk to a fellow Quidditch teammate, and Hunter said. "Well I guess I'll be heading to bed too. I'm extremely tired. Good night." Hunter started to head up to bed, but Remus called him back. "Hunter wait, I'll show you where to sleep. Good night Kiel." Remus gave her a quick kiss and headed up to their dorm with Hunter. Kiel yawned, Lily yawned, and then James yawned too. "Its contagious!" Lily said giggling. "I'm going to head to bed. You ready Jade?" Lily asked her friend, when she got no answer she looked around for her friend. James snickered and pointed across the table, Jade was draped across two of the chairs, fast asleep. "Sirius, come here." Lily called. Sirius finished up his conversation and walked over to the table.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Help." Lily said pointing to Jade. Sirius smiled and picked Jade up. He followed Lily and Kiel up to their dorm. Carefully he laid Jade down on her bed and tucked her in. He gave her a soft kiss on the forehead and left the room silently.
He walked down the stairs and over to James. "I think I'm going to bed." He said.
"Me too. Come on lets go." James replied and they walked up to their dorm room. Where they changed and fell fast asleep, like the other boys in the room. They were all fast asleep because tomorrow was the first day of classes, a big day indeed. Very Big. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Dun dun dun! Ohhhh Peter got shut down! ha ha ha!
