I'm real sorry for not writing lately but I just haven't had time.. ok I lie, I have had time but I am way to friggin lazy. I swear on my life that I will write more this month. I promise good chapters too.. I don't own anything.









Two weeks before school started back up is when they found their little studio apartment. It was quite small, yet big enough to house four people, and that's saying a lot when one of those people is Sirius Black. James and Lily hadn't really talked about love since that night they had spent together in the Gryffindor common room. They were going to be moving in, in the next week or so. They had already bought all their things for the up coming school year. So all they had to do for the last to weeks was pack, and then un-pack. The only one that didn't really have to work hard to put their things away was Debbie because she could just use her magic.

"You know what I don't think is fair." Lily said one day when they were moving into their flat. "Is the fact that we have to put everything away by hand and Debbie gets to use her wand and poof! Everything of hers is put away. Its really not fair." Lily whined to James and Sirius.

Remus hadn't wanted to share a flat with them, because they all seemed to have some type of bad habit that he didn't like. That and he was a werewolf. Lily and the rest of them all understood why he hadn't wanted to move in.

"Lily quit your whining and just put your crap away. So we can go get something to eat. I'm tired and want to try out my new bed." Sirius said to lily like he was a drill sergeant.

Debbie was lying on her bed.

"you guys are slow. Hurry up, I'm hungry." Debbie whined.

"If you're so hungry then why don't you help us with your magic. So that are things are put away just like yours.." James suggested, looking a little aggravated.

Lily and Sirius stopped putting their stuff away to see what Debbie would say. Debbie looked at them and whispered a spell and poof! All their stuff was put away after an hour of putting things away a simple spell did it all, in under a minute.

Lily threw her pillow at Debbie.

"Why couldn't have you just done that an hour ago?" Lily questioned.

"Because it was fun watching you guys have to go through all the pain in putting your things away." Debbie laughed.

When everything was put away you could actually see the ground. The flat was actually pretty good size for the four of them. On one side of the room there was the beds. Two sets of bunk-beds. Sirius complained that James peed the bed so he got the top bunk, Debbie wanted the top bunk because Sirius got the top bunk, Lily didn't care much. The bathroom was directly across from their beds. The kitchen was the first thing you saw when you entered the house, it was the closet to the door. The kitchen had a bar with four stools set up for the four people that lived there. The living room wasn't much just consisting of a couch, chair, TV, and a stereo. Sirius put all of the things out of his house into James' house. James didn't want to sell his house, so he just locked the door behind him.

"I guess this will do." James said sadly. He knew they could have afforded something much better or hell they even could have lived in his house, but they didn't want to do that.

Lily made her bed, and laid on it. All the shelves they had made it seem like the place was some type of research facility with beds. The had a lot of books from school and books they had come to collect over the years. Though Sirius wouldn't admit it, he did like to read, and did it quite often. Lily had always loved to read, she had brought the most books with her. James only had one book that he liked "Quidditch through the ages". James had a library at his house, if he ever needed to know anything he could just go back there and look it up.

They went to dinner, talked about what they thought this up coming school year was going to be like. Tried to get Debbie to tell them what the final was for their seventh year, but she wouldn't.

When Debbie went to the bathroom, Lily told the boys that she was going to buy Debbie a dog, to keep her company when they were gone. James wanted a yellow one and Sirius wanted a black one.

Lily got the dog at a magical pet shop. All the dogs were great, but the one that stuck out to her the most was a black lab. The dog was the first that ran up to her and started to lick her hands. It was love at first sight.

The owner said the dogs name was snuffles.

"Aww what a cute name. Snuffles.. I'll take him."

When Lily and Snuffles got home. Sirius started jumping up and down. He loved black dogs, but that was probably because that is what he turned into when he was animagus. James looked a little disappointed but when snuffles licked his hand he like the black dog just as much as he would have liked to have a yellow dog.

"Guys meet Snuffles." Sirius' face dropped.

"Who named this dog snuffles?" Sirius asked

"The shop owner? I don't know. That's what the dogs name is. I'm sorry if it offends you but that's just what it is." Lily said.

In the end Sirius got used to the name snuffles and James got used to having a black dog. Debbie was in love with the dog, snuffles slept with Lily at night, or sometimes James.

When Lily, Sirius and James had to go back to school, snuffles looked sad because he wasn't going to be around all these people anymore. Debbie said she would be lonely without them, but then again she did have snuffles.

On the train Lily fell asleep on James. James and Sirius played exploding snaps on the way to Hogwarts. Remus was trying to finish a book that he had started at the end of the last school year, but was having trouble concentrating with all the noise around him. Peter was no where to be found.
