Dear Diary,

I CANT BELIEVE IT!! THEY WROTE IN IT!! THEY ACTUALLY DARED TO WRITE IN *OUR* DIARY. Aliandra Lights you had better be thinking up some sort of revenge right now.

Lily. Breathe.

How dare they, I mean how dare they try and read our diary, talk about sinking to the lowest level, oh god I'm glad you insisted on putting those charms on, I'm so relieved that they couldn't read it.

Why, its not like there's much that they could use against us, I mean unlike James might think, its not filled with every guy we've ever liked you know.

I suppose.... you know your not meant to be on their side

Well I guess I think it just adds another angle to the book, we were being very objective after all.

Another angle? Objective? Who are you and what did you do with Aliandra? Of course we are going to objective, we're allowed to be, because its OUR diary, thus it is based on OUR thoughts and opinions and is therefore objective.

*Laughs* Okay okay, I didn't not need the detailed definition of objectivity and why it is acceptable in this case but well they didn't really write anything that degrades us to the level of a Snape nor did they actually read the thing, so besides the fact that Sirius went through all our stuff to find it, they haven't really done anything wrong...

*Mouth drops open* I will never understand how your mind works.

The idea is that you don't *wink*. But really Lily can you honestly say that you didn't find that the slightest bit amusing.

No comment. So how are you going to get Sirius back? I mean, that whole invisible head thing, well it was really good,

*Glare*

I mean, prank wise, it was hilarious

Yeah I know, even I had to admire that handy work, even if it was performed on me, I just have no idea on how to get him back, its one of the only times I've ever had a mental blank when it comes to pranking.

Strange, I think I'll agree with you. Aliandra, just as a question who do you like?

When you say like you mean....

I mean, like as in date wise.

Well, umm- I don't know, never really thought about it I guess.

Oh,

You?

IlikeJamessortabutdon'ttellhimI'llkillyou

Umm, is that meant to symbolize how fast you are saying it, or is that just cause you tried to write to fast?

...

James! Oh I could have never guessed... NOT... Lily, you couldn't have made that anymore obvious!

Really....

*Smacks self in head* don't worry, he doesn't see it, love is blind after all.

That cliché is overused and overrated

Thus why it is called a cliché.

I didn't say I loved him anyway, I said I liked him

Yep, now, just you wait, a few years time you'll be happily married with a son.

A son, why a son? What is it with you and my apparent son?

I don't know; whenever I look at you I can just see you with a son. Or maybe I can see James with a son, either way.

That is really strange,

*Shrugs* Well what would your sons name be?

Hold up, why are we talking about my son, when I'm not married or even dating Potter yet?

I never said it had to be with Potter! *grins*

*Blushes* Oh Merlin, I fell for that badly, didn't I

*Nods* you better watch it, you might have Sirius pull something like that on you, and you have no idea what he'll put you through if he has something like that against you. That's every blackmailers dream

And you would know this, being the blackmailer you are

Yep, oh don't worry I'm not going to blackmail you with this, but I may have some fun with James.

NO, don't tell him please

Who said anything about telling him, it's the not telling that's going to get on his nerves.

Please Aliandra, promise me you won't tell

Lily Anne Evans, I Aliandra Julie Lights solemnly swear that I will not tell James Harold Potter that you are madly in love with him!

I never said I was madly in love with him, and Ali, if I ever do have a son with James, his name

Yes...

Will be Harry. Bye!

Hey, wait right their Lily Evans. Akk, I got to go, take care! Aliandra

"She knew what she was going to call you at the age of fifteen!" Ron cried amazed. "Hermione, do you know what.."

"No!" She interrupted shortly rolling her eyes at Ron who sighed and looked back at his best friend.

Harry stared at the page. "Harry, hello?" Ron said waving his hands in front of Harry's face.

"My dads middle name was Harold," he muttered, Ron was about to interrupt again when he caught Hermione's glare

"Let him get it all together, he's finding out things that he's never known before" she said in a whisper. Ron nodded slowly understanding as he looked back at his best friend.

"I figured it out"

"What out?" Ron asked

"I will never, not in a million years, understand girls" Harry said finally leaning back into his seat

"Just wait till you have to try and understand women" came a voice. Harry, Ron and Hermione turned and found Sirius standing in front of them grinning widely. "Mind if I join you? I wouldn't mind a trip down memory lane" He asked

"Sure, but where'd Aliandra go?" Hermione asked pretending that she didn't know what had happened earlier. Harry and Ron caught on and nodded along with her. Sirius shifted uncomfortably before shrugging and looking down at the diary.

The three shared a glance. "All right, next chapter" Hermione started then the door opened.

"Are we ever going to get a break!" Ron muttered to Harry slightly annoyed when Aliandra walked in. She looked as if she was about to say something but she caught sight of Sirius and stayed silent looking at him carefully.

"Can we-er- help you?" Hermione said quietly breaking the silence.

Aliandra shook her head "Er- no, it doesn't matter" She said quickly but before turning to leave she bit her lip. "Er- just don't show anyone else that book... okay" she said then left.

"What?!?!?!?!?!" Ron cried!! "I swear it must be a full moon tonight, everyone has gone mad!!!"

"That really did make no sense" Hermione agreed

"Don't think about it too much, just do as she said" Sirius said shortly ending the conversation before it had even started.

"But er-" Harry said then stopped at Sirius's look, "All right, next entry"

Dear Diary

You will never believe where Lily is!!!!

She's out on a date with James!!

I'll fill you in on what happened. You see it all went rather quickly... Everything goes quickly in our life doesn't it... Anyway after the last entry we were walking down to the common room and I was teasing her about the whole 'naming the child Harry' thing right, and Sirius heard! The thing is he thought it was me that liked James, oh boy did he make a fool of himself, anyway so he went straight to James and told him that I liked him, so the next thing I know is that I'm being pulled aside by the Marauders and James is giving me this gentle lecture that he likes me as a sister, etc, etc.

It was so scary; I just sat there trying to work out what in the world they were talking about. Then I figured that one of them must of heard and assumed it was me. I lost it laughing, James gave me the weirdest look, and Remus and Sirius were asking James if this is how I cry or something. Oh it was so funny that I nearly did start crying.

Their expressions were classic, anyway I explained to James that I didn't like him any more than a brother and that Sirius has gotten confused with someone else. Those were the magic words; I had doomed myself to interrogation.

So anyway, when Sirius was interrogating me he let slip that James liked Lily... (Lily I promised I wouldn't tell James... Sirius doesn't count...) So the setting up began. I actually worked with Sirius, and in the matter of a few days, they were together, and although Sirius claims it was his handy work, I have this sneaking suspicion that they knew what was going on, and just let it happen.

Anyway, I gotta run, I'm going to spy on Lily and James, damn I probably shouldn't have written that down, too late. The crystal is on the next page, or it will be anyway after I've gone and watched,

Love you all!!

Aliandra

Sirius chuckled to himself at the entry. "What?" Harry asked.

"I can't believe she thought that then, at Lily and James wedding Lily told the whole crowd that they'd let us get them together. Its just amusing that three years before hand Ali had worked it out." The three smiled,

"Well, up for a trip into the past?" Harry asked

"I can't remember Lily and James' first date, they had so many. Should be interesting" Sirius said

"What do you mean they had so many?" Hermione said suddenly wondering how many time's Sirius did go and spy on his friend's dates.

"Er-" Sirius started then just shrugged and looked down at the Crystal. "They were always too smart for their own good" He said as he laughed at the blue diamond shaped crystal that had been magicked onto the following page. The four reached in and touched the blue crystal and once again were pulled into the book.

* * *

"Ouch" Sirius cried as he landed on the ground next to the others. Once again Harry was the only one standing. "Does it always do that?" He asked

"Only to you three" Harry laughed.

"Be quiet!" Hermione said, Aliandra walked past towards the Great Lake.

"This looks rather familiar" Sirius said suspiciously.

"SHHH" Ron and Hermione exclaimed

Aliandra walked up to the edge of the Lake, above her was a huge beautiful old oak that swayed in the gentle breeze.

She just looked out over the Lake then cursed.

"Looking for a something in particular?" came a voice

~~~~

Harry, Hermione and Ron jumped.

"Oh, I remember this" Sirius said, suddenly regretting coming.

~~~~

Aliandra spun around and saw nothing.

"Up here" came the voice again, She looked up into the old tree and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Sirius came face to face with the younger Sirius.

"What are you doing here?" Ali asked

"Probably the same thing as you" and he brought a pair of Omnioculars to his face.

"Are they out on the lake?" Aliandra asked

"Yep, in a boat"

"That's so romantic." She sighed.

"Really, I suggested it"

Ali just stared at him. "You, romantic... oh Merlin"

"You wanna look?" Sirius, the younger one, asked

Aliandra bit her lip, "Yeah" she said shrugging. The younger Sirius smiled and pulled her up onto the branch that hung over the lake. He handed the Omnioculars to Ali. "Its so sweet" She said

~~~~

Suddenly before the four onlookers eyes flashed the image of James and Lily sitting out in a white boat on the lake. Then just as suddenly image disappeared.

"What was that?" Harry asked shaking his head in confusion.

"Well its Aliandra's memory ans as she remembers seeing that, we too get the image of Lily and James on the lake." Sirius explained.

~~~~

"Hold these" Aliandra said.

"Where are you going?" The younger Sirius asked

"Up" she said grinning.

Sirius looked up, "Ahh, Ali, I don't know how strong the branches are up there," he said uneasily.

"You scared?" Aliandra asked raising an eyebrow while grinning at the handsome boy below her.

"No!" Sirius replied quickly and he flew up after her. The continued to climb even in the weaker area's of the tree

~~~~

"Sirius" Hermione said

"What?"

"You are an idiot," she said matter-of-factly

"Was, Hermione, Was" Sirius replied looking up at the tree

"So when's it break?" Ron asked.

"Second from the top" Sirius said

"You know, life is meant to be unpredictable, this is like one of those very bad soap operas on TV" Harry said

"I agree totally," Hermione said

~~~~

CRACK!

"That's not good" they heard the younger Sirius say.

"Up for a swim Sirius?" Aliandra laughed.

The branch snapped and started crashing down through the tree. Leaves flew everywhere then there was a lousd splash followed by uncontrollable laughter. The four looked into the water, but all that they saw was the branch. The four's gaze moved up the tree where they found Sirius hanging from a branch holding on to Aliandra.

"Oh my hero!" Aliandra laughed sarcastically, and that was it, Sirius could no longer hold onto the branch while laughing hysterically and they both fell with a giant splash into the lake below them. They both surfaced, coughing and sputtering while laughing.

"Well that was more fun than watching Prongs" Sirius said laughing

"We should get out or we'll catch a cold, Madam Pomfrey won't be happy, she only just got rid of me the other day" Aliandra said trying to control her laughter as she swam towards the bank.

"All right" Sirius said calming down. He climbed up onto the bank then turned and grabbed a hold of Ali and pulled her out of the water. In one swift movement she fell into his arms, then surprisingly they kissed.

* * *

The memory swirled away and once again, Hermione and Ron were thrown to the ground. "I wish it wouldn't do that," Ron muttered "How'd you land standing" he asked Sirius

"Don't ask me" Sirius said shrugging quite amazed at the fact that he hadn't hit the ground like Hermione and Ron.

"I have to admit, however predictable that was, it was still sweet" Hermione said slowly. "You were really hot as a teenager by the way."

Sirius blinked "Er- thanks..." He said edging away from Hermione slightly.

"That's really disgusting" snarled Snape from behind them. Sirius, Harry, Ron and Hermione all flew a foot in the air at the sound of Snape's voice.

"Snape" Harry groaned

"Aliandra" Sirius whispered at the same time as Harry's recognition of Severus's presence in the room.

"I don't know Severus, I believe I will have to agree with Hermione" Aliandra said slowly watching Snape shudder. She rose an eyebrow at him.

"Disgusting" He snarled as he looked back at Sirius, "Dumbledore wishes to see you, and you three" he said looking at Ron, Harry and Hermione "Should be in bed"
