Gryffindor Common Room
Hearing the portrait slam shout, James looks up in time to see his girlfriend run up the stairs. Her hands were covering her face; James did notice that it looked like she was crying.
"What's that about," ponders James to Sirius.
Glancing at his watch, Sirius taps it. "James, its three-thirty. So my guess is that Lily's family is here for Graduation."
Groaning, "great."
"What," asks Remus as he steps off the stairs. "Don't tell me that Chloe is mad, cause she said that I could meet her parents after the ceremony."
"No," running a frustrated hand through his hair. "It's Lily's sister, Petunia."
"So," dismisses Sirius. "I have permission from Mel to prank her until hell."
"I would really, really," said with longing, "love to prank the bitch, but I'm afraid that it'll just upset Lily or her parents."
Getting up James starts to head towards Lily's room, when Melody franticly runs into the room.
"It wasn't my fault," Melody whispers. "I don't know how it happened." Melody glances around the room. The last time they saw her like this was the thunderstorm.
"What happened," asks Sirius as he closes in on her. Reaching out for her, he watches her eyes dart around the room.
"I don't know," making this crazy hand gesture. "I was with Lily, her sister said something nasty. Lily left, then everything went poof."
Glancing over to James, who glances over to Remus. Remus understanding heads towards the dinning hall to find out what actually happened.
"Where's Lily," demands Melody as she looks around sharply. "I have to apologize to her."
"Ok," replies James. "I'll get Lily," pointing to both Sirius and Melody, "Just stay here." Walking up the stairs James looks back to see Sirius holding Melody. Sighing 'I wish Lily was that easy to calm down.'
Whispering softly to her, Sirius gently strokes her back. Slowly he sits down, placing Melody on his lap. Holding her tightly to his chest, he feels the tension in her drain away.
Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Melody looks up to see Lily and James walking towards them. "Have you been crying," asks Melody looking at Lily's face.
Wiping her face with the back of her hand, "Yeah, I know I shouldn't but Petunia just got to me. You know?"
"So what did she do or say this time," questions Sirius.
James directs Lily on to his lap; pulling her close he gives her a tight hug. Sighing deeply Lily tells them that Petunia, her sister went off about magic being the foundation of all evil. Petunia went as far as to insult her (Lily) and most of the teaching staff.
"Oh my god," gushes Caro as she runs into the room. "You have got to see this," gesturing wildly, "Oh, Melody, Dumbledore wants to see you."
"Great," groans Melody. "Let me guess, I'm not graduating."
"What?"
"Why?"
"I told you, everything went poof," throwing her hands up into the air.
"That explains a lot," sneers Peter as he walks down the stairs.
"Oh, my god," laughs Caro. "It was you! Now I know that Sirius is rubbing off on you." Getting mixed facial expression, Caro puts on her best Professor McGonagall voice, "Move it folks!" Laughing the group walks out of the portrait only to run into a laughing couple.
"Hey Remus," states James. "What did you find out?"
"Not much," laughs Remus. "Dumbledore wants to make a special mention of Melody's parents, as to what could have set Mel off," shrugging his shoulders. "Your guess is as good as mine."
"She's probably worried about what Lily's parents are going to do," laughs Caro.
Shocked, "Why?"
"Oh my god," laughs Chloe. "Mel you have been hanging around Sirius to long."
"All right, enough with the Sirius comments," grumbles Sirius. "What has you laughing like hennas?" Suddenly there before the group was a large four legged animal, with a really long neck. "What in the name of Merlin is that?"
"A giraffe."
"Lily's sister, Petunia," whispers Melody grimacing, "Forgive me?"
"There better be pictures of this," laughs Lily holding her sides. "Where's Frank when you need him?"
Sirius pulled Melody closer and kissed her soundly on her cheek, "Don't worry," laughing, "James and I will smooth things over with Lily's parents." James, Sirius and Remus headed towards the dinning hall as the girls looked at Lily's sister.
"Why a giraffe?" questions Caro as she tried not to laugh.
"It's the only thing I could think of with that neck of hers," croaks out Melody who was starting to laugh at the situation herself.
"Melody," shouts Sirius as he runs towards her, "Lily's parents so just put her back to normal."
Waving her hands in the air, Melody shouts back "HOW?"
Pulling out her wand Lily's mutters the incantation. Slowly Petunia turned back into her normal form. Hearing the long neck girl stutter and gasp about, the group burst into a new round of laughter. Petunia runs frighten back to the dinning hall. Heading off after her sister, Lily reluctantly follows her.
"So Mel, what are your plans once we have graduated," asks Caro.
Shrugging her shoulders, "I don't know. I really haven't thought about it. You?"
"I don't know," sighing, "I know Frank wants to be an Auror, but I think that's too dangerous," replies Caro.
"I agree," states Chloe. "Being an Auror is very dangerous."
"But these are dangerous times," sneers Peter as he walks by them. "You have to pick the winning side."
"The winning side," snaps Chloe "isn't always the right side, Peter!"
"And sometimes the side that looks like its losing is often winning," comments Melody. "Would you take your wand against your friends Peter?" Glaring hard at her, Peter walks away without answering her question.
"What a creep," sneers Caro. "I can't believe that he's their friend (James, Remus and Sirius), I just don't know what they see in him."
"Remind me to ask sometime," laughs Chloe. "Look isn't that your father," pointing out a man heading into the dinning room. Laughing Caro waves at Melody and Chloe as she heads towards the dinning hall.
"Peter's not their friend," groans Melody holding up her hands "and before you start I have talked to Sirius repeatedly."
"Me too," sighs Chloe "now what?"
Both girls walk solemnly to the dinning hall; the graduation ceremony was going to be taking place shortly. Melody walks over to the head table to talk to Dumbledore.
"Ah, Miss St. James," mutters Dumbledore. "I wanted to tell you that I plan on going a special tribute to your parents. Since you have come to our school, I feel everyone now knows someone who's been affected by the war."
'There were only two safe places' Hagrid's voice floats into her head 'Gringotts and .' gasping for breath, blinking Melody looks intently at Dumbledore.
"Sir, I was wondering," muttering quietly so that they couldn't be over heard she asks him several questions. Smiling widely as she gets her answers from Dumbledore, she also asks him for permission to use the school for her idea.
