Chapter One - Flat Warming Party?!?!?!?
"James, can you come here for a moment?"
"Sure Lily, I'm coming," James replied as he grinned to himself. If someone had told him when he was 16 that in 3 years, he would be married to Lily Evans and have a son with her, he would have said they must have had one too many shots of Odgen's Old Firewhisky. But making the impossible possible, Lily fell in love with him during their 7th year. Three months later they were married and soon Lily gave birth to their son, Harry.
"James, can you hold Harry for a moment? I need a bathroom break.," Lily said, interrupting his trail of thoughts.
"Sure babe. Harry is, after all, OUR son," James said while making faces at Harry, causing him to giggle. 'Our son,' he repeated to himself. He loved the sound of it. It was just too good to be true. Lily's and his son. Who would have thought that James would've ended up happily married to Lily, the girl who loathed him most at Hogwarts? James had had a major crush on Lily back in school and had constantly showed off towards her. Showing off included hexing Snape or anyone else for the fun of it, messing up his hair to make it appear like he just got off a broomstick, playing with a snitch he nicked to show off his excellent reflexes, and flaunting his popularity whenever possible. Unfortunately for James, none of these things really impressed Lily and whenever he showed off, it just worsened his chances of ever getting Lily to go out with him. However, things changed in 7th year when James was appointed Head Boy and Lily, Head Girl. James started acting a little more mature and Lily fell in love with him and of course they got married after they graduated.
"Thanks James," Lily said taking Harry from James.
"Hey!" James protested. "Don't I get a little reward for my efforts?"
"Well, what did you have in mind?" Lily asked seductively.
"How about a little of this," James said as he closed his mouth over hers.
Just as they were deepening the kiss, a loud booming voice announced, "Oy, Prongsie! Don't want to be corrupting young Harry! That's my job!"
James groaned as he turned to look at the person who interrupted his kiss with Lily. "Sirius! Stop apparating in unexpectedly. You scared the hell out of me!"
Sirius smirked. "Well, what was I supposed to do? Wait for a formal invitation hand delivered?" he asked with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
"No," Lily frowned. "But knocking would have really been appreciated."
"Not like I was interrupting anything. Or was I?" Sirius asked with a gleam in his eye.
"Oh get your head out of that dumpster, Sirius!" Lily exclaimed.
"So what's so important that you couldn't find the time to at least 'knock' lest receive a 'hand delivered invitation'?" James asked, mocking both of them, thus earning a slap from Lily across him arm.
"My 3rd Anniversary Flat Warming Party!" Sirius exclaimed as he did a little jig around Harry's room.
"3rd Anniversary FLAT WARMING party?!?!?!?!?" Lily and James chorused incredulously. Harry squealed with delight.
"Yeah," Sirius said. "I'm inviting you guys, Remus, Peter, the Longbottoms, Uncle Alphard, ("
"Uh, Sirius? That's nice of you and everything, and we'd love to come, but do you mind telling us what exactly this party is all about?" asked Lily.
"Well," started Sirius. "You know how when people move into a new house they have house warming parties? Since I live in a flat, I can't have a house warming party and I didn't exactly move in just recently so it's my 3rd Anniversary Flat Warming Party!"
Lily had a wary look on her face. "I see."
"Yay!!! Then you'll come?"
"Of course Paddy! Wouldn't miss it for all the Marauder's Maps in the world!" James yelled back with a cheeky grin planted on his face.
"Great! So that leaves Uncle Alphard, Wormtail, Gwen (A/N: Lily's best friend), (," Sirius rattled off.
"So Sirius, how is the planning coming along for the party?" Lily asked.
"Oh, it's going great. I've got the food, drinks, DJ, ("
"Wait! Did you just say DJ?" exclaimed Lily.
"Of course he did Lilers! Every good party's got to have a DJ mixin' it up!" exclaimed James.
"Whatever. I'm not even going to ask where you learned phrases like that or why you need a DJ for a flat warming party," Lily said.
"Anyway, as I was saying," Sirius continued, "there'll also be lots of decorations, wizard crackers, strippers: male and female, (,"
"SIRIUS!!!!!" But before Lily could comment on his choice of entertainment, a popping noise resounded and Albus Dumbledore appeared.
"Professor! How are you? Can I get you anything to eat or drink?" Lily asked.
"Hey!" Sirius complained. "I pop in and I get yelled at, but he pops in and ("
"Now time for anything now! This is of the utmost importance! Lily, James, you must go into hiding immediately!"
"Why Professor?" James asked.
"Lord Voldemort's newest target is your son."
