Lily had been flying with Sirius for about half an hour before he decided to tell her where they were going. She had been watching the sun go down in front of her. It was so beautiful yet it left her with such a sense of foreboding that her spirits soon dropped.
Sirius noticing how serene Lily had been the whole flight and prodded her back with the tip of his fore finger.
"All right there Lily?" he asked lightly
She muttered something inaudible as she leaned back against him. Lily and Sirius had always been at odds with each other. But Lily was James' girlfriend and Sirius was James' best friend. So they learned to cope with each other despite their differences. But at that moment their past arguments and disagreements seemed completely irrelevant.
"Come again?" Sirius pressed
"Are you scared?" Lily asked turning to him as he brought the broom down back to the ground. Sirius jumped off first and as he helped Lily down he replied.
"Scared of what? Voldemort?" Sirius took her and hand started dragging her through a thick batch of trees.
"No. Well yes HIM and what we're going to do after we leave Hogwarts. I mean we've pretty much spent the last seven years of our lives preparing for this and now they're all just going to throw us to the curb with out a thought." Lily held his hand tightly as she rambled on
"Lil, what are you going on about?" Sirius said exasperated
"The teachers, how can they just betray us, and make us think they care about us and then they force us to graduate? What the bloody hell is that?"
Sirius stopped walking and turned to her with one eyebrow raised in amusement.
"You are one strange cookie Evans!" she smiled "Ahh now that's what I want to see happen more often. Now, I'm going to tell you what is going to happen to all of us after we leave Hogwarts."
He started walking again still holding onto Lily's hand
"Are you a divinator then?" Lily asked grinning
"Why yes m'lady. Anyway, Once we leave Hogwarts you Remus and James shall still be living in that castle of his, however Tasha and I shall be moving in with you to escape the insanity of our families and join the insanity of yours."
Lily scoffed at this comment "Continue"
"You and James will get engaged, married, and then proceed have ten of the most insane children ever born to the world. I will eventually admit to myself and Tasha that I love her and soon after propose(we also will have ten children). Arthur and Molly being already engaged will hop right into the children and not even wait for the marriage part."
Lily blushed at this. What would he say if he knew James had already proposed in an unofficial sort of way. Sirius was observant but not as observant as Tasha had been about them.
"Remus will form the first ever Werewolves united organization and be extremely successful."
"And happy!" Lily piped in. Remus must be happy
"And happy. While cueing up with Tasha's cousin Cossette I might add."
"You might!"
"Glad you approve. And Peter will finally grow a pair, and maybe find somebody as inadequate as he is." Sirius put a lot of emphasis on the word Finally.
"Sirius!" Lily said shocked "He's your friend! How could say something like that!"
"Because Peter needs to get his hands off of mine and James' trousers if you get my meaning?" Sirius had stopped walking and was peering through a patch of bushes.
Lily hadn't realized how far they had been walking and was looking around her. The trees weren't so close together now, and she could see the moon over the clouds. It was almost full, but not yet.
"Sirius what are you playing at? Where are we?" She walked in front of him with hands on hips, and lips pursed
"Swipe that look off you face Evans, we're going to have some fun. Which according to Remus and James, is something you desperately need!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the brush and onto a deserted street. They looked left and right before crossing the street so no cars hit them.
Lily just realized where they were. She was standing in front of her sister's and brother-in-laws house. She caught Sirius' eye and it had an evil glint in them, that was unfortunately too familiar.
"No sirius!" she hissed "The last time I was here with Remus she practically murdered us for entering her perfect NORMAL home! Whatever your thinking
forget-"
But it was too late Sirius had already turned into a dog and ran towards the house. He looked back at her shook his head so that she would follow him. She looked and noticed their car was gone and prayed that no one was home, as she ran to sirius giving him a pat on the head.
He trotted to the door and sniffed around. He had started to bark when he had reached the door matt. Lily lifted it up and found a key underneath it. She unlocked the door and quietly slipped into the abnormally quiet home.
Sirius turned back into a human and cracked his neck.
"What was the point of you turning into a dog?" Lily asked looking around the home amused
"Well, I thought it would be stealthy, and besides I needed to sniff for the key." Siruis took the key and opened the door slowly. Lily walked in after him and found the light switch.
She snorted "I needed to sniff for the key" she repeated in an amused tone.
Then something caught her eye. She had been in her sister's plain house only once before with Remus. And as she eyed the small cuboard under the stairs, a feeling of anger and discomfort swept through her body.
"Earth to Evans! Wake up...what you dreaming about prongs again?" Sirius nudged her as he walked into the kitchen.
"No...I don't dream about James day and night you know! I have other things on my mind besides him for your imformation!" She shrugged the feeling off and strolled into the ugly grayish kitchen.
"Anyone I know?" Sirius asked with a grin
"I didn't say it was a person you git! I was just-" She looked over at Sirius in shock, who had now transformed into dog form and was doing something not so pleasant onto the door of the refridgerator.
"Sirius Black! What in godrics name are you doing to my sister's home?" Lily shrieked and tugged the big dog away from the kitchen.
"Oooo if she ever finds out your dead!" Lily laughed at him as he transformed back "I was right about you! You are way to dog like for anyone to cope with."
Sirius was now taking all of Petunia's teacups, smashing them into the sink, and replacing hers with exact replicas.
"These Lily dear, are called biting cups. Which means they bite your nose with a hard clamp whenever someone tries to take a swig out of them! Now picture your dear sister and brother-in-law having their conks bitten off by a teacup? You picturing?" Sirius saw the evil grin creep onto Lily's expression "Good, I knew we were on the same page." Sirius continued switching the muggle tea cups with the trick ones.
Lily was grinning slyly now, filled with an evil drive she had not felt in a while.
"Why Sirius, don't you know thats wrong?" she asked in a would-be-innocent voice.
"Yup" Sirius replied simply
"Good. Got any other jokes in that bag of tricks?" Lily crept over to the bag and pulled out a bunch of newly bought Filibuster's Fireworks.
She laughed evily and ran upstairs to find the master bedroom, she found it easily because it was the only room being lived in upstairs. She stuck a bunch under the Dursely's pillows, and a few in their closets and draws. Putting a charm on them that if moved one bit they would go off, she left the room.
"Mission accomplishes Sergeant Evans?" sirius asked in a commando voice.
"Yes sir!" Lily saluted him with a grin
"Very well, there is only one more task at hand then!"
"And that is Sir?"
Sirius reached inside his robes and took out a small box bound by an incredible amount of spellotape. It seemed to be shaking like mad in Sirius hand.
"what's that?" Lilys asked dropping the act
"It's a boggart!" sirius saw Lily's eyes light up.
"What do you think it will change into in front of dear Petunia?" he asked letting the boggart out into a cubboard in the sitting room.
"Knowing Petunia? Probably a very dirty me!" Lily sighed
Sirius laughed as he transformed back into a dog. Lily followed him out the front door, locked it, stuck the key under the mat and fled to a patch of bushes across the street.
"Do you think we'll be able to see them from here?"
Lily asked Sirius (back in human form)
"Well, knowing how loud your sister shrieks I bet we can hear them-"
but Sirius stopped just as a car pulled into the driveway. Lily and Sirius smirked at each other as Petunia and Vernon opened up the front door. They heard some laughs as the kitchen light turned on. Petunia's face could be seen from just above the curtains, as if spying to see if anything abnormal was going on around her perfect neighborhood. After about ten minutes Lily started to get really cold, being that it was the middle of winter.
"Sirius, lets go." Lily got up from her hiding spot and started to walk back into the bustle of trees.
"Wait Lil, just one more minute." Sirius saw the exsaperated look she was giving him "I promise this won't be for nothing."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VERNON VERNON HELP HELP HELP!" a piercing screech ripped through the air, as bouts of lights and explosions was seen from the upstairs windows in the master bedroom.
Lily had to clutch her side and hold on to Sirius just to keep from falling on her face. They were standing there laughing for about ten minutes until the commotion calmed down and Petunia and Vernon ran from the house in their nighties and into the car. A large teacup was attached to Petunia's nose.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Soon Lily and Sirius were flying back to James' house. Lily still had a huge grin on her face from the little "accident" as they came to call it. And Sirius was just happy that he could get Lily to smile again. They arrived back at the house and flew through the still open skylight. Lily made sure to close it as they descended back into the house.
Even though it had been a marvelous evening, the sight that they came home to was completely heart-wrenching, in a good way.
There was still a fire blazing in the living room and apparently everyone had fallen asleep in front of it. James had fallen asleep lying across the couch with his glasses falling off his face and one hand flung over the edge of the couch. Tasha was on the other couch parallel to the one from James. She was curled up into a little ball with her thumb in her mouth and her other hand covering her eyes.
Remus was lying in front of the fire next to someone Lily didn't recognize at first. So she crept over and saw that Remus had his arms around Cossette, Tasha's cousin from France. Sirius and Lily looked at each other with big grins, and both ran upstairs to fetch a pair of cameras. Their friends faces' were to angelic not to take any pictures, and since seeing these angelic faces was such a rare occurance, the situation was just too perfect to resist.
After numerous pictures were taken the cameras were hidden so that James and Tasha wouldn't suspect anything once woken up. They could both throw an intense hissy fit if any of those pictures were discovered.
For a few moments Lily just knelt down next to james' face and studied his handsome features. His messy raven black hair was slightly covering his eyes, making him look mysterious and sexy. But once you spotted the round, sliver rimmed glasses sliding down the edge of his nose, the sexiness was instantly transfigured into cuteness. He had a small smile on his face, as if his dreams were exceptionally pleasant. Lily only hoped that the dreams were filled with images of herself.
Suddenly, James grunted and turned over making Lily jump and fall back onto her bum. She heard Sirius' snickers at her little clumsy moment. Turning around and meaning to give him a playful glare, but instead a sigh escaped her lips at the vision she turned around to. She saw Sirius slowly fixing himself on the couch next to Tasha. Tasha's brown eyes flickered open, dancing with love and and content at the sight of him. Snuggling in next to her, Sirius gave a quick wink to Lily then turned back to Tasha, delving into a passionate kiss.
Lily sighed again as she turned back to look at James. She had to admit that as much as she disliked Quiditch in all it roughness, it did him a world of good…figure wise. Slowly bringing her hand up to his overturned back, she traced along the lines of his muscled and spine. James let a shiver escape his body, and Lily grinned to herself filled with pleasure. She pushed herself off the floor and creeped up to James, sitting on the sofa. Moving her hand from his back to his folded muscular arm, Lily laid down on the couch making sure she spooned james' body.
He let out another shiver, only this time a small gasp of pleasure betrayed his lips. Again Lily grinned to herself as she made sure that every part, every crevice of his body was fitted to hers.
She marvelled at the fact that their bodies seemed perfectly fitted, not even a grain of dan could slide in between the two young lovers. As she moved in place her, she mad sure that her hand kept sliding up and down James' arm, sending a tickling sensation to shoot through his body. She sighed, yet again and moved her arms from above his arm to under it and around his waist. She slid her small hand under his shirt and stroked the tight abs that flanked his stomach, and just as Lily was about to fall asleep James' eyes flickered open.
He had been dreaming of himself and Lily just lying together on a four poster bed with pure white sheets. But when some of the strokes that Lily was subjecting him to became so real, he had to figure out what was causing his body to shiver with pleasure and happiness. He wasn't surprised to see a small hand sliding seductively up and down his abdomen. Just to make sure that it was Lily he twisted his body around and spotted her red flaming hair from the corner of his eye. With James' sudden movement Lily's eyes also shot open, catching James settling back into his original position.
She stopped him wanting to look into his eyes. Feeling her hand tugging on his, as if she was beckoning him to turn over. So with a grin he obeyed and turned over, making sure not to push her off the bed. James smiled even more at her captivating emerald eyes as they sparkled back at him. He felt the urge to hold her until the end of time, and never let go for any reason. She let his hands slide around her waist and under her shirt, caressing her smooth skin, and pulling her closer. They were now nose to nose.
Lily let the lust in her lips guide them to his. The moment their lips touched a shock a coarsed through their bodies and the pulled apart quickly as if struck by a hot iron poker. They smiled and chuckled lightly as they let their bodies intertwine with each others. They moved in closer letting the strong feeling of lust guide them to each others lips once again. This time the kiss was light, yet full of excitement and passion. James ran his tongue along the edge of her bottom lip, begging entrance to her sweet mouth. She hesitated for a moment teasing him slightly, but complied fully after a few seconds.
Their tongues swirled slowly around the others mouths, exploring every fold, every tooth, every hot sweaty spot he could control. After about 7 minutes of this movement and emotion, they pulled away and just settled into each other.
"Hello love" james whispered softly as he kissed her red fiery hair.
Lily smiled as she rested her head against his chest.
"You never call me love, love." She replied with the same level of softness.
"You don't mind do you?" James grinned already knowing the answer, but he wanted to hear it for himself.
"No…" she hesitated
"But?" James lifted her head up to face him with his index finger, only to find her smiling playfully at her. He grinned at the look of mischief in her eyes. He knew that look all to well, because always had a glint of it whenever he got in trouble for pulling pranks.
"So I assume you had fun?"
Lily giggled in response giving james a short peck on the nose.
"What did you and Padfoot do? No snogging, right?"
"Oh yes James, Sirius and I were hot. And. Heavy." Between replies Lily brushed her lips against his nose, lips, and neck. Making sure he knew that he was all she wanted.
He smiled as she wedged her head into her previous position against his chest.
"Well I'm glad your evening was at least interesting." He sighed closing his eyes
"And yours wasn't, I'm assuming?"
"Well lets just say a complaining Tasha is someone who is not fun to be around!"
Lily giggled at this knowingly. Most of the time Tasha was very cooperative and collected but when she gets riled up, all hell could brake loose.
"I see Cossette arrived safely." Lily shifted her body so she could just barely see Remus and cossette cuddling together. He certainly deserved her, deserved happiness after everything he'd been through. All the lonely nights, and horrible wounds his lyncanthropy* has inflicted upon him had started to wear down on him. But Lily was happy that even though he hadn't exactly shared his secret with Cossette, he could at least share his emotions.

"Remus really cares for her." It seemed James had picked up on her train of thought.
"Do you think he's told her?" he asked
"No, but she definitely suspects something…Merlin I hope she feels the same way about him." With one more quick kiss to James, Lily sat up from her comforting position reluctantly and stretched
"Where are you going?" James followed suit
"It's Christmas eve" she replied plainly
"Yeah…so? I was quite comfortable until you moved…" James huffed in annoyance as Lily got up and started to walk away
""I have to set out the Cookies" Lily yelled as she dissapeared into the kitchen
"What cookies?" James ran after, curiosity overcoming him. He found pooring every type, every brand of cookie that his house possesed, onto a big red, glass plate. And then, filling a small wine glass with milk.
James' Jaw dropped at the amount of cookies on the large plate.
"Who are all those cookies for?" James asked waiting for a reply
But Lily just stared back at him annoyed, until a light bulb seemed to go off in his head.
"Do you mean to tell me, James Potter a.k.a. Prongs, Captain of the Gryffindor Quiditch Team, Head boy, good-looking, perfectly figured rogue slash marauder slash head of hogwarts master pranksters, that you, are setting out those bloody cookies for Santa Clause?"
"No there for my Aunt Ester!" Lily said sarcastically "Oh and I think that title should be revised to:
James-the most arrogant person in the world-Potter a.k.a. Illegal Animagi, Big Head Boy, Captain of the Gryffindor Quiditch team by mistake, self indulged, perfectly disfigured pirate slash Monkey slash head of Hogwarts master detention recipients!" Lily was a little mad at how he had showed off.
"Hey! That was hitting a little bit below the belt Lils…" James mumbled seriously
"Sorry…Anyway, yes of course they are for Santa Clause. Who did you think their for?"
"I dunno, maybe you were leaving Sirius a really big treat?" James muttered
"Ha Ha. If Sirius so much as even touches one of these cookies, I will suffer him to every single hex I have ever learned!"
"OK I understand the cookies, but what's with the wine glass?" James pointed
"Oh" Lily grinned sheepishly "Well, when I was younger I always saw the mugs that Santa drank from, and all of them were these huge clunky buggers so I promised him in one of the letters I wrote to him, don't look at me like that James I was a child, that our milk would always in a refined, classy, wine glass" she finished taking a deep breath and smiling gleefully
James smiled and threw his arms around Lily, engulfing her in a hug. He always had admired her knowledge and wisdom, but for anyone who had the priveledge to be her friend, her innocence was something to be marvelled at.
And just as James was about to steal a kiss, they were interupted by a group of feet shuffling into the kitchen.
"Thanks you two!" Remus yawned "We were sleeping quite happily till you started jabbering away!" He had his arm around cossette, and she had her head on his should with her eyes closed.
"Oh please, all we did was save you from a stiff neck tomorrow morning." James grinned
"Lillllyyyyy!" Tasha wined "Where have you been? We're all hungry!" Everyone rolled their eyes at her except for Sirius.
"So that's all I'm good for? Cooking?" Lily asked dully
"Well, I'm sure your rather good for others too. But only prongsie over there would know what they are." Tasha hit him "Ow…what?"
She just rolled her eyes and gave Lily an apologetic look, who had blushed a deep scarlet.
"No Lily's good for cleaning too, or so I hear…" Molly exclaimed
"Molly! When did you get here, and Arthur?" Lily asked obviously just spotting the couple
"Been here for hours actually, asleep on that black loveseat in the corner beside the bookcase." Replied Arthur slyly sneaking a hand up around Molly. She blushed at the gesture.
"So are we all as hungry as Sirius?"
"Lil, Lil, Lil. No one, and I mean no one, could ever be as hungry as Sirius always is. For his stomach is a bottomless pit!" Remus laughed acknowledging James' reply
"But alas yes we are rather hungry, and since you are the only one who knows how to cook a decent meal, out dinners rest faithfully, in your hands."
Lily sighed and scanned all her friends' anxious hungry faces, to the now clean sink, and empty stove. Looking at the ceiling and closing her in exasperation she nodded.
"Ugh. Fine! She looked back at them seriously "But one a few conditions! If we're going to have a Christmas eve dinner we might as well do it right, so you are all going to help me understood? I'm not going to do this all by my bloody self" they nodded
"And! I want James, Sirius, Remus, and Arthur to do all the dishes when we're done!"
Their mouths dropped open.
"In aprons" Lily smiled mischeviously
"WHAT?" All four boys yelled
"No wait, little french maid costumes!" the girls giggled madly but the boys were just shocked
"Ey!" a voice peeped up from leaning on Remus' shoulder "I rezent zat remark!" everyone laughed
"No offense. OK lets get started. Tasha you get the oven suffer out of the frige and set it under warm running water. Cossette and Molly I want you take every measuring utensile that this kitchen has to offer and put them on the counter-top. Also I need you to take out all vegetables and seasonings. Boys you can go set the table. Meanwhile, I'll be looking for some cook books. Everyone set to work except Tasha
"Umm, Lily?" Tasha yelled over the commotion
"Wussamater?" Lily mumbled searching through cabinets to find a cook-book. James appeared beside her sarrying a leather bound book with yellowed parchments sticking out.
"It was me mums…" James muttered, eyes cast down. Lily smiled sadly and gave him an assuring peck on the cheek. He handed her the book and turned back to getting the plates out.
"Lily, what a fridge?" Lily looked over at Tasha shocked.
"Yea I was wondering that also!" Sirius stated as he carried forks into the dining room.
"Tasha it the big black cold thing your leaning against at this moment" everyone rolled their eyes yet again as Tasha jumped up from the fridge and opened it cautiously
"It's not going to bite you tash." Lily mused as she studied a recipe from Mrs. Potters cook book.
"Oh shut it Lil!" Tasha put the chicken under the running water so it would defrost.
About an hour later Sirius came back into the kitchen.
"Hey what smells so-EEWW" sirius had spotted Lily holding up the freshly cooked stuffing that was enclosed her gloved hand.
"Where does that go-OH THAT'S SO WRONG ON SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS!" Sirius shook involuntarily at the thought of someone shoving stuffing up his dead arse.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
After about another hour the whole grand dinner was ready. It was about as fine as a Hogwarts meal only ten times better, for it came as the fruits of their own labor.
"I suspect this is what earning money from a job would feel like." Said an exhausted Lily as she stuffed some potatoe into her mouth "Since we worked for it and earned it, it feels like a million bucks!" everyone agreed with her and complimented on the grand job she did.
"Thanks. What would you all do without me?"
"Probably starve" Sirius gave a shudder and everyone laughed
Another hour passed and Molly and Arthur retreated upstairs to get some rest. But not without Lily reminding him to clean dished tomorrow in a French maids outfit! He was not happy.
So now it was only Tasha, Sirius, Remus, Cossette who had fallen asleep leaning on Remus, James, and Lily.
"So Prongs, I think we should come up with a grand end of year prank of the Slytherins and our dear dear Snivellus!" Sirius cackled
"Not if it's going to be like that stunt you pulled with him and Moony! Anything like that again and we'll seriously get expelled! Don't you say it Padfoot, that joke got old a long time ago!" James reasoned
"All right that is it!" Tasha exclaimed throwing her fork and knife down "I've had enough of this, for two and half bloody years I've listened to all of you use those ridiculous nick names. What do they mean? What stunt did you pull? What are you keeping from me? Because obviously Lily knows for she doesn't seem miffed by them, and Molly couldn't care less, but I do and I want some answers, so fess up!"
It seemed she had been wondering about this for quite some time, and it also seemed that there would be no escaping the explanation. James and Sirius looked at each other and them to Remus, who nodded grimly.
"Let me start." Remus muttered making sure Cossette was still asleep "Tasha you're my friend right?"
She nodded
"And you would be my friend no matter what right?"
Tasha nodded again confused.
"You must have noticed how I get sick every month, and you also must have noticed that, I dissapear from classes for a day or two every month." He looked at Lily desperately, she nodded encouragingly.
"Well…there's really no other way to say it, I'm, I'm as- Well I'm a-"
"Oh bloody hell" Lily sighed knowingly "Remmy is a werwolf Tasha." She blurted out wanting to get this over with
Tasha who had picked up her fork and knife dropped them again in shock. Yet she wasn't that surprised for it all seemed to piece together. How he was sick around the full moons, how his senses seemed to be heightened somewhat, and his nicknames…Moony. It all made sense. She looked up at Remus as if searching for some sort of answer, but all she could was smile at his nervous face.
"Well we keep living don't we Remus?" she sighed
He was very happy she hadn't said she was sorry for him, he hated receiving pity and sorrowfull looks from people, especially his friends. He smiled back at her knowing that she wouldn't be running away anytime soon.
"Now, what's with your nicknames? And Peters? And how does Lily fit into all of it!"
"Well I knew since before hogwarts about Remus, since we were childhood friends." Lily stated
"Then, Peter, James, and I figured out why he was always sneaking off to the whomping Willow once a month!" Sirius stated
"And of course being the caring blokes that we are, we couldn't let our friend subject himself to that pain all alone every month for the rest of his hogwarts career" James grinned, but suddenly became serious "So we became animagi for him"
"Illegally I might add!" Lily muttered dissaprovingly
"Well you didn't want him to be alone too I recall." James snapped
"And I still don't but what you did was wrong and I don't know why I helped, except for Remus. If I had known you were going to use your animagi skills to cheat, and break rules I would have never agreed!" She snapped back.
"Oh lighten up you two, and no matter what you knew and didn't know you still would have helped them Lil, for my sake."
"Wait wait wait, how did you help them, and why didn't you become one yourself?"
"They needed an extremely complex charm done to complete the transformation, I being the best at charms in all of hogwarts they asked my help. I didn't want to break the law myself, so I figured just helpig them break it wouldn't do me any harm…" she confessed
"OK so now explain the nicknames, for I assume they have something to do with the Animagi forms?" Tasha continued
"Too right love, I sirius a.k.a Padfoot am a dog that-"
"That is so big resemgles a bloody grim!" James laughed "And I'm a white stag!"
"Stag…prongs…of the antlers!" Tasha slowly figured it out "Moony because of the moon of course but Peter's nickname…what was it?"
"Wormtail, he's a rat and one night sirius almost killed him because he mistook his tail for a worm. It was quite funny actually.." James reminisced
"Well, thank you for all telling me the truth even though it took you mostly seven years to tell." With that she gave Sirius a kiss and headed off to bed.
"I better get her to sleep too!" Remus picked up Cossette and carried her up the stairs to her bedroom.
"Same here, I need to sneak into Tasha's room, and scare her…hee hee…" Sirius jogged off upstairs
"Well, love…" Lily said using hers and James new pet names "time for bed?" he nodded silently and took her hand.
They were halfway up the stairs when a large scream could be heard from Tasha's room, with a loud bark following soon after. Lily and James rolled their eyes and continued up the stairs, and into their room for the night. Quite happily I might say.
