Chapter Thirteen: Why Are You Reading All Of This Crap When There Is A Chapter To Be Read Right Below This Statement?
*Dear Lily,
Howdy! How are you? I'm doing okay, my mom and I are on holiday in Africa. We're on a Safari thing. It's a lot of fun, actually. We'll be back about a week before school starts. Mom says everyone's welcome to stay with us, she'll take us to Diagon and the station. You can come any day after the twenty-fifth of August.
Let us know!
I miss you, Lils!
Love you!
Love,
James*
Lily told Aimie about the invite.
*Dear James,
Hey! I'm good, so is Aims. Bring me back something from Africa, a Safari, huh? Sounds like fun. Me, Aimie, and Nick are having loads of fun terrorizing the rest of the family. Just to let you know, I'm grinning evilly right now.
We'd love to go to your place. It's going to get very boring very soon over here...we're running out of dungbombs and stinkpellets and stuff. We ran out of Cockroach Clusters yesterday at Nick's birthday party.
That was priceless. Everyone there was eating them and they didn't realize they weren't peanuts until it was too late. The three of us laughed our asses off!
Me and Aimie will be arriving at your house the twenty-sixth, okay? We'll be there around lunch time.
Miss you and love you too.
Lily*
*Dear Aimie,
I hope you and Lils aren't getting into too much trouble. Guess what, I'm going to James' house for the last week of the summer. Are you two going to be there? I'll be arriving on the twenty-eighth due to unfortunate circumstances that are beyond my control.
I hope you're going to James' because I can't wait to see you! Don't do too much to your family, okay?
Love from,
Remus*
*Dear Remus,
Hey! What's up? I'm getting into loads of trouble and it's fun! Lily, Nick, and I are almost out of dungbombs and stinkpellets and we replaced the peanuts at Nick's birthday party with the last of our Cockroach Clusters. We're going to James' place on the twenty-sixth. I can't wait to see you! I know what you're thinking, it's only been a month, but I miss you. Get rest, though, Re, and be careful, all right?
See you soon! Love,
Aimie*
Aimie received a package a few days after she sent that letter to Remus. It was from him. He sent her dungbombs, Blood Lollies, stinkpellets, Cockroach Clusters, and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
*Dear Sarah,
Hello! How's your summer going? Huh? Tell me...TELL ME! I miss you a whole lot. Jamie-boy is getting everyone together! He's invited everyone to get together, anyway...
I'm going to James' house for the last week of the holidays. It would be an honor if you would accompany me there. Please? Let me know, I MUST KNOW! I'm going on the twenty-seventh.
Love, the best Marauder ever,
Sirius*
*Dear Si,
I miss you too. You're so crazy, but that's why I love you. My summer is going well. My parents say I can go to James' house, I don't know the Floo address, though. Write me back and tell me.
I can't wait to see you, Si. I'd make this longer, but I have to run, we're going to my grandma's eighty-first birthday party.
Love,
Sarah*
Well, if you haven't quite grasped it yet, they're going to James' house.
James was sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace with his mom. He was finishing up his potions homework, a seven foot long essay on the invisibility potion. He wrote so big that it was, well, interesting. (A/N: I couldn't think of anything witty to say.)
His mom, Tanya Potter, was reading a book about muggles for some odd reason.
Suddenly, someone fell out of the fireplace, flat on their face, with a nasty thud. James looked up. "Hey, Aimie," he said as he helped her up.
"Floo Powder sucks," she grumbled. Two trunks fell through next. After that, Nick fell out, same as Aimie, flat on his face. Aimie helped him out just as Lily fell through.
"Hey, Tanya," both girls said.
"Hi, girls." She smiled back at them.
"How come you're here, Nick?" James asked.
Nick smiled a mile wide. "I got my Hogwarts letter, I'm a wizard!" "Good for you, Nick!" James slapped the younger boy on the back. "Mom, this is Aimie's little brother, Nick."
"How are you?" "Good, thanks," said Nick.
Any further conversation was prevented by an extremely loud thud.
"Ouch!"
"Sarah! How're you doing?" James asked as he helped Sarah up.
"I'm all right, thanks, James." Two more trunks fell out, followed by Mr. Sirius Black.
"Hey, Padfoot."
"Hey, Prongs."
After everyone said 'hi' to everyone else, they went upstairs to put their things away. After that, they had lunch.
"So," Sirius said through a full mouth, "when's Pete and Re coming?"
"Ew, Sirius, close your damn mouth!" Aimie said.
"Pete's not coming and Remus will be here in two days," James said *after* swallowing.
"Tanya," said Sirius, he took the hint from Aimie's glares and swallowed first, "have I mentioned that you look beautiful today?" "No, but thank you, Sirius," said Tanya.
"Beautiful?" Sarah repeated. "All I got was pretty."
"Did I say pretty?" Sirius said. "What I meant to say was ravishing, stunning, absolutely radiant!"
"Thank you." She smiled and he kissed her on the cheek. Everyone laughed.
"He always was good at sucking up," Tanya muttered to the others. They laughed even harder at this.
Lily and James had both received letters from Hogwarts.
"WE'RE HEAD BOY AND GIRL!" they yelled together, jumping up and down like idiots.
Remus arrived during this little show. "What the hell?"
"REMUS! WE'RE HEAD BOY AND GIRL!"
"Cool."
"Hey, Re!"
"Aimie! Hey!" She jumped on him and, well, he couldn't breathe. "Aims...need...AIR!"
"Whoops, sorry." She let go. "Don't I get a kiss?" she asked.
"Hmm...okay." "MY EYES! THEY BURN!" Sirius said. "Sirius, shut up," said Sarah. She smacked him in the back of the head.
On the last day of August, the group headed into Diagon Ally. Nick was amazed, and that was an understatement. The Marauders went to nearly every store in the Ally. The joke shop had to restock after they had hit that store.
With their luggage stored away, the seven of them said good-bye and thanks to Tanya before heading for the Marauders' compartment. As the train started to move, Peter showed up.
The plans were made within minutes.
"Okay, so tomorrow night, Sirius and I will go to Zonkos to buy the new line of products," said James. "Peter, you're going to Honeydukes for us. Sarah's going to the Apothecary. Remus is checking the bookstores for new prank books, and Aimie and Nick are going to the beauty place to get hair dye and crap like that, right?"
"Yep!" everyone said. "Now, what's our first trick of the year going to be?" Lily asked..
"I know!" Sirius brought everyone into a huddle. This was going to be interesting, not a prank, but fun all the same.
A/N: Was that good? I hope so. What *is* that thingy at the end going to be? :) The only way to find out is to review so that I feel good inside and maybe get some self confidence so I post the next chapter...I'm babbling. Don't mind me. I home sick from school and I'm drugged up on the Sudefed. This chapter was SIX Microsoft Works pages long! GO ME!
L8r, people!
