Chapter Nine:  The Plan at Work

*****

'Is Gwen canceling the party now?' Lily looked at the letter in her hands; she opened the letter and began to read:

Lily-

I know I said for you to come on the 20th, but the gang decided since there will be a party that day. We wanted to have a get together the day before to catch up on what everyone did this summer. Were going to go swimming at my house, so bring your swimsuit and anything you need. Can't wait. Write Back.

Gwen

'Hmm…. ok, guess I could go a little bit early,' she turned the letter over and began to write.

Gwen~

            Oy! Well, I'll be there at noon, so I'll see you soon!

Lily*~

*~*~*~*

Lily woke up early that morning to get ready for Gwen's. She packed her evening wear, weekend clothes, formal, uniform and anything else she needed before she was going back to Hogwarts at the end of the summer.

She was a bit nervous, 'I wonder how James is?' she thought to herself as she was deciding whether to put her swimsuit on before hand.

Once all the packing was done she went to go say her goodbyes to her family, except for Petunia, she still wasn't on talking terms with her. Right after her goodbyes she went straight to the fireplace and took out a letter that Gwen had written to her before, "…say Garcia Manor!" She put the letter away, grabbed a hand full of floo powder hidden in one of Mrs. Evans flower pots, she dropped the floo powder while yelling "GARCIA MANOR!" Instantly she was off to the Manor.

Once Lily had arrived at Gwen's before she could see what was a around her, about three people knocked her to her bum, " LILY! YAY! YOU FINALLY MADE IT!" Gwen rolled off of her and Arabella and Selena helped her up once, they had gotten up themselves.

Lily looked around the place it was huge! It looked like a museum; there were so many pictures, guessing they were Gwen's family. The place had a Spanish theme, being that her father was from Spain himself. As she was looking around she noticed only Remus and the girls were there. Lily went up to Remus and gave her a hug.

"Where's the other two at?" she looked around making sure, they weren't behind her making her the next prank before school started.

"Well, Padfoot needed to move his things at Prong's home," Remus was not looking quite as tired as before.

"He' moving in with him?" she looked at the girls, they shrugged, this was news to them also, all the boys had said to them was they needed to get some things ready.

"Yeah…if you look out side your can see the two on their brooms flying down the street with big boxes of Padfoot's things," he walked over to open the door, Lily, Arabella, Selena, and Gwen looked out the door with him, and saw the two flying back and forth down the street.

They all sat on the big fluffy couches, Arabella was sitting very far away from Remus, so Lily decided to sit by him, 'maybe they got into a fight,' she thought to herself.

About two hours later, James and Sirius had arrived, 'FINALLY! Took both of them long enough' Lily looked at them. 'But James looks kind of cute when he rushed here. WHAT AM I SAYING! SNAP OUT OF IT LILY!'

"Sorry we took so long!" James felt bad for making them wait, as he looked at the group his eyes landed on a certain red head in the room, 'Wow, she looks so pretty sitting there, I wish I had a camera! Hang on, what am I talking about this is your friend here!'

"What are you all sitting there for lets go swimming!" Sirius decided to break the silence.

Gwen showed Lily, James and Sirius their rooms up stairs. Lily's room was covered in flowers, especially lilies, as for James room his was a Quidditch theme, there were   rings on the bedpost. While Lily and James changed into they're swimsuits Gwen stuck a note by both of the doors of their rooms.

She ran down the stairs and met up with the others, "Did you put the notes by their doors?" Selena looked very anxious about getting the plan in action.

"Yeah, I did," Gwen looked a little irritated.

"Gwen, cool it. Were glad you brought the notes up there. We're all very grateful that you did," Arabella looked the others.

"Yeah…Thanks Gwen," the others said.

"Man, is it the time of the month or something?" Sirius whispered over to Remus so that the girls wouldn't hear. Both of them just chuckled for a while.

"Since that's over with, let's go to the back and get he plan started!" Selena let Gwen lead the way before she snapped at her again.

All five of them walked to the back and hid behind some bushes. Everyone had a clear view of the guesthouse. Remus pulled out his wand to get ready.

*~*~*~*

As for Lily and James they were right about to get out of their rooms. Both at the same time opened the door and ran straight into one another.

"You dropped your note," they said together. Lily just laughed.

"I wonder what it says," James squinted his eyes as he read the note. "It says to meet in the guest house, when were done changing."

"All right let's go," she seemed a little uncomfortable walking beside James, her stomach felt like it was doing back flips.

Lily and James walked down the stair and into he kitchen; once they had found the guesthouse they entered and made themselves at home.

"Where's everyone at?" Lily looked a bit confused. "James did you read the note right?"

"Yeah, they said to meet here," right after James had finished hi s sentence, the door disappeared.

"Ok. What's going on?" Lily ran to where the door used to be and ran to the windows, they were locked from the outside.

They both looked around to see were else they could escape, but all was there was a little living and a kitchen. Lily checked her towel maybe just in case she had brought her wand, so that they could get out of this mess. It was useless; both of them seemed to have forgotten their wands. 'GREAT I'M HALF NAKED IN MY SWIMSUIT AND I ONLY HAVE A TOWEL TO COVER UP IN!' Lily looked at the green bikini she was wearing, covered her self up and sat on a couch that was in the living room.

For James, he didn't seem as uncomfortable as Lily was, he was thinking about how they managed to get stuck in the guesthouse. 'Padfoot had something to do it this, I just know it!' he looked around the living and saw some magazines on the table, he picked one up, he couldn't really read what the cover said, so he grabbed a pair of glasses from his shorts, and put them on. The magazine said YW/W "Young Witches n Wizards" with a young girl holding a black puppy, he glared at the cover, thinking about Sirius.

"You know I think Padfoot had something to do with this," he walked over to the other couch to the side of Lily's.

"Yeah… and don't forget Lena, those two must of set it up," Lily looked up at him and smiled. "I didn't know you wore glasses."

"Oh yeah, I think they make me look like a nerd. So, I only used them if I can't read anything beyond the obvious," he was about to take him glasses off. She got up and went to the couch he was sitting on, Lily put her hand up to the glasses. "I like them, don't take them off. If the other girls saw your wearing those, they would fall for you even more." She smiled at him making his stomach flip.

"Ahh… yeah Padfoot and Lena did probably set this up, but I have a feeling the others were in this too," James changed the subject, 'stupid, stupid' he said to him self, Lily looked a little hurt, but she kept on talking.

"Yeah…since your living with him you, once we get out you can scare him by telling him he can't live with you anymore," she smiled. "So why is Sirius living with your now, since he only lives down the street from you. Did he miss you too much?"

"Oh no it's not that," he combed his fingers through his messy hair. "Well, you know who Narcissa Black, she's a Slytherin?" she nodded. " She's Padfoot's cousin some how and she saw all of us hanging out together at school

"So?" she was looking a bit confused.

"Well, she found out that you and Selena weren't purebloods and told Padfoots' parents."

"Hang on, but isn't Sirius half himself?"

"Yeah, but ever since Padfoot's mum remarried during our second year, his step father got the family into purebloods this and that, he never really was very fond of Padfoot, knowing that his dad was a muggle," he put his head down while saying this.

"How terrible, so he pretty much was fed up with everything and left?"

"Yeah, pretty much.

"Because of me and Selena?" she felt horrible; tears began to fill up in her eyes.

"No! No! Padfoot was always wanted a reason to leave, he didn't feel like anyone loved him at home," he tried to comfort her; he brought her closer to him. She responds and buried his face into his chest.

"Does Lena know about this?" Lily peeked up and looked at him.

"Actually she does, she's just kept very quiet about it," he looked down at Lily. "Her reaction was the same way as yours when Remus and Bella told her, but she just didn't want to say anything about it to you."

Lily fell asleep in James arms, he grabbed his towel and covered her in it since he really could move and look for a blanket for her.

*~*~*~*

While Lily and James were in the guesthouse, it seemed that five other people were watching them through the hanging lamp in the middle of the living room.

"Aww… that's so sweet!" Arabella pretend to wipe a tear away.

"Yeah, yeah," Gwen seemed to be having some kind of mood swing that day. " How long are they going to be in there for?"

"I'm saying over night," Sirius spoke up and looked at Selena, she was very quiet after hearing the conversation with Lily and James. " Lena you ok?"

"What? Uh…yeah. I'm going to go out in the front for a while," she began walking out.

"What's up with her?" Gwen looked at the group.

"Didn't you listen to what Lily and James were talking about?" Remus asked her. She just rolled her eyes at him and sat on a couch in her big living room.

"I think I should go after her," Sirius was about to walk off, till Remus pulled him back.

"No, you stay here with Bella, and Gwen. I'll go talk to her," he left and went out the door.

Truthfully, Remus didn't want to stay in the room with Gwen, since her mood swings occurred, she wasn't the same to him. Remus looked outside and saw Selena flying around on one of James brooms he left on the front door. He decided to grabbed Sirius's and shot up to catch up with her.

"Lena! Wait up!" he tried catching up with her.

"Oh…hey Rem," she still sounded down; she stopped in the air while having a conversation with him.

"You know it's not your fault right?" he stopped himself.

"Yeah… I just feel really bad that's all."

"Don't be. Beside I think Lily and James are really going to get together, Miss Matchmaker," he smiled at her; she sort of cracked a smile.

"Yeah…well not without your guys help."

"Don't me modest."

"Ok, I won't" she gave him a grin. He just laughed. "So how about you with your love life? What can Miss Matchmaker do to help?"

"What do you mean?" he looked a little confused while trying o keep balance on the broom.

"What do I mean? I mean you and Bella!"

"Oh… NO… were just friends like you and me," he looked shocked. "Besides there was never really an attraction between us. She's leaving anyway."

"What?!? Bellas leaving? When?!?"

"Opps…I wasn't suppose to say anything, well I just found out she was a squib and she going to be leaving to a Squib Academy School for a year and a half to help her out."

"You didn't know she was? Well, your gone all the time so wouldn't surprise me," she smiled at him; she flew black to the front door and landed with Remus behind her. "I better talk to her, she forgot to tell me se was leaving how sweet."

"Lena" he looked scared, he looked at her and her flashed a purple like color. He ignored it.

"Look Rem, if I ever find someone that is right for your, I'll set you up, because after all I am Miss Matchmaker."

"You don't have to, I'm really not looking for a relationship."

"Of coarse you do. I want to beside I know any young werewolf would want some kind of love life," she whispered to him.

"How? Do you know? What?? How?" he was taken by surprise, as if she knew all along.

"Don't worry, I'm fine with what you are everyone, but Gwen knows and their fine with it too," she lead him back in the living room.

"But how?"

"Your only gone every full moon," she tilted her head to the door. "By the way thanks for talking to me."

Remus had a big smile on his face, for once he was accepted for what he was, and they weren't scared of him at all.

*~*~*~*

During that time Lily and James were fast asleep for about a few hours. Once they woke up, it was about seven o'clock. Lily decided to make dinner, she looked what was inside the refrigerator, it wasn't empty at all, and there were a big variety of foods inside. She decided to make some kind of pasta dinner for both of them.

As she was cooking, she had burnt her hand, she screamed and James came running into the kitchen.

"What happen?" he looked very concerned.

"I just sort of burned my hand," she tried to hide her hand from him. He just grabbed her wrist and looked at the little burn on her hand, as he was looking at her hand he lowered his head down and softly kissed the burn. Lily began to blush.

"Umm…thanks," her face was as red as her hair. He help her bandaged her hand up since they didn't have their wands.

"I knew I should of helped you, I feel bad," he was still holding on to her hand. She noticed this and pulled her hand back and began instructing him what to do.

The dinner wasn't bad at all, they began to chat again like old times, even if they were watched upon, but they didn't know that.

"I wonder how long were going to be stuck in here for?" Lily looked at her food.

"I don't really mind," he looked at her with his intense blue eyes. "I've really enjoyed spending time with you."

"Your just being nice," she blushed one more. "You say that to all the girls, remember that I do hang out with you and the guys. I'm not one of those girls you can promise the world to, then break their heart."

"Lily, look I would never ever do that to you," he looked hurt from what she had told him. "Those other girls were just there because I knew I could never have you, you too good for me."

"No, I'm not, any girl would be lucky to have you, it's just you need to quite playing games," she finally looked up at him. "Well, your no where compared to Sirius, he's far worse than you."

They both laughed, they knew how Sirius got around with the girls at Hogwarts.

"Well, Padfoot has nearly dated the whole school full of girls, except for the Slytherins."

"Is even a virgin?" she wondered if he ever really went that far with them.

"Actually, he is," he leaned in closer to. "He's waiting for that special someone, he's only went as far as snogging the poor girls."

"Whoa, that's a surprise. So, is that why he decided to date every single girl he comes across?"

"Well, he hasn't dated you, Lena, Bella, and Gwen."

"True, True," she felt like changing the subject to him. " So how about you? Are you saving it for that special someone?"

"Yes I am," it seemed as if was thinking about this a look time ago. "You know when I get married that when, I want a small intimate wedding with close family and friends, outside somewhere."

"Wow…how long have you've been thinking about this for?" she was amazed at what she was hearing.

"Awhile, me and the guys have talked about it before."

There was silence in the room once again. Lily was thinking whether to ask James something.

"James?" she looked a little nervous.

"Yeah?"

"Well, you know on Christmas, when everyone was opening their gifts?" her face starting getting pink.

"Yeah" he was trying not to smile, he put his head down.

"I got a present from some anonymous person, this," she pointed to the necklace around her neck. " Were you the anonymous person?"

"Umm…yeah," he said under his breath.

"What?"

"Yeah, I was the one who got you the necklace."

Lily jumped out of her seat and hugged him she nearly strangled him.

"What didn't you say something?" Lily looked a little mad.

"I was afraid ok."

"I didn't was to mess up our friendship."

"That could never happen, Lena is my best friend, and she's like a little sister to you, right?

"Yeah?"

"She would do this over again if something happened like this!" she laughed.

""Yeah true, she's helped me find that possibly special someone." He grabbed Lily form behind and held her in his arms.

"Me too, and the other," she turned around and reached up to kiss him, they stayed like that for a while.

"Come on lets go to sleep and tomorrow, we can kill our so called friends, than thank them."

They went to sleep, James was still holding her, and as if his arms were the right length to hold her, it was perfect. They got some blankets and feel asleep in each other embrace.

*~*~*~*

The group was still watching the sweet little couple fall asleep.

"You guys know when they wake up and find us, they are really going to murder us," Arabella warned them.
