Lily and James turned around and their jaws dropped. Walking toward them was none other than Albus Dumbledore and Professor Mcgonagall. But that wasn't what made their mouths drop. Dumbledore was wearing a red and orange tie-dyed tee shirt, baggy jeans, and his long gray hair was tied back in a pony-tail. Professor Mcgonagall actually had her hair down! What she was wearing was even more unbelievable for a lady like her. She was wearing a tight pink mini-skirt and a form fitting neon green top. She was trying to hide her skin with her hands and looked VERY embarrassed.

"Ahh, James, Lily, what a surprise to see you here," said Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eyes.

Lily recovered from her shock first and gave the headmaster a dashing smile. "I can say the same. I come here all the time, but since James here never had pizza, I just HAD to run over here and show him what he's missing out on."

Dumbledore smiled, "Quite understandable." He then turned to James who still had his mouth open. Lily elbowed him and he quickly closed it.

"Umm, professor? What's up with the clothes and hairdo?" James asked timidly.

Professor Dumbledore chuckled. "Did you expect me to come out into the muggle world without appropriate attire Mr. Potter?"

"Well, no..." James was about to comment on how Mcgonagall's attire could be "appropriate", when he was interrupted by yet another voice.

"LILS! JAMES!"

They turned around to see Lisa and Lacey walking toward them, towing a very unhappy looking Sirius Black behind them. But his look of unhappiness turned to shock, when he saw the professors. The girls had the same expression of shock. Lisa spoke up. "Well, I know you guys are wondering why we left good 'ol Hogwarts. My mom got sick so I asked Lacey is she wanted to come with me. She said ok and then SIRIUS decided to come along." At that, they looked over at Sirius who's expression turned back glum.

"Why you look so down, Siri 'ol pal?" asked James breaking the silence.

Sirius looked up distractedly. "Lisa and Lacey here dragged me from looking at the new Nimbus 1000, to eat some crap called Pista or Pisa or whatever the hell they call it," Sirius grumbled. James face brightened up at the idea of getting more pizza, but Lily stopped him.

"Forget the pizza now, lets go to the beach, they got this charm to make the beach warm even in the winter and I wanna get wet!"

Lisa looked puzzled. "We only expected to treat little Siri here to pizza..we didn't bring swimsuits."

Lily waved a hand impatiently. "No need. I have extras." She turned to Professor Dumbledore and Mcgonagall. "Care to join us?"

"Err, no thank you Miss Evans, I'm afraid I don't have a bathing suit..." began Mcgonagall but Dumbledore cut her off.

"Ahh Minerva, I clearly remember you picking up a frilly hot pink string bikini, and a lacy black one last summer, a bit inappropriate if you ask me, but that was your choice," said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling.

Mcgonagall blushed furiously. "But.."

"We'll be glad to." Said Professor Dumbledore.

"Great!" said Lily and the four friends ran off, closely followed by the professors.

It was quite a sight at the beach. Professor Mcgonagall was wearing her hot pink swimsuit that was...err..very revealing. She spent the whole time clutching a towel around her, muttering about losing her pride. Lily and Lisa wore baby blue two piece swimsuits, Lacey on the other hand swore that she would be caught dead in a two-piece swimsuit so she got a pink one- piece with hearts. Sirius and James had on quidditch trunks that had players zooming on broomsicks. When Professor Mcgonagall saw this she was not amused.

"JAMES POTTER! SIRIUS BLACK! NEVER IN ALL MY YEARS AT HOGWARTS..WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY LAWS YOUR BREAKING...WE'RE IN A MUGGLE PLACE!" She stopped yelling at them though when Dumbledore came up to them wearing the EXACT same quidditch trunks.

"Is there a problem?" asked Dumbledore merrily.

Mcgonagall turned around to face him spluttering. "B-But Albus, the LAW, you could get in trouble for this."

Dumbledore chuckled. "Calm down Professor. It only looks like this to magical people. To muggles, it looks like basketballs and baseballs."

Professor Mcgonagall looked puzzled.

"Never mind, but I assure you, it's charmed to look normal to muggles. By the way Minerva, you dropped your towel."

She shrieked and quickly picked it up and covered herself again. Then she remembered something.

"Oh, that's right this place is NOT a muggle place, I almost forgot it was enchanted. I'm sorry boys." She gave them an embarrassed smile.

"Aww, that's ok Minnie," Said Sirius. He came closer to her and whispered, "Just promise never to give to give us another detention or I'll tell the school how very charming you looked today, for a professor I mean." He cowered back, then ran at the glare Mcgonagall gave him. **************************************************************************** *************************************************************

When James and Sirius came back to the group, James shouted out to them, "C'mon, let's get in the water!"

Everyone ran for the water, but Lacey stayed put. Lily noticed this and whispered to James, "C'mon, lets first see what happened to Lace." James looked over at Lacey and nodded.

Lily approached her friend. "What's the matter?" asked Lily. Lacey smiled sheepishly. "Weeell, um, I've never learned to swim. And since I don't feel like dying today, I think I'll just stay here, thank you very much."

James grinned. "Awww, you silly goose! I'm your HERO! I'll never let you get hurt!" And with that, James swooped Lacey onto his shoulders and carried her to the ocean. "Let me go James! JAAAMES! Lemme alone!"

James smiled and threw her into the sea. "AHHHHHHHH!" She managed to float.

"Well watda you know! This isn't so bad!" Lacey said smiling.

"THANKS JAMES!" she hollered.

"Anytime Lace, I'm your hero remember?" He shouted back.

"HEEEY, what about me?" asked Sirius crestfallen. "I wanna be someone's hero!"

"Ok, you mine," said Lily smiling. "You gotta protect me FOREVER!" They all laughed.
