Not a year had past after they had left Hogwarts, when Sirius finally got what he most wanted in the hole world: his motorbike.
After that, he always offered himself to go to do anything that ment going further than the front yard... But no one really cared.
Now, after that, things got pretty serious when a year later he tried (keyword: TRIED) to celebrate its birthday...
Sirius (as I said before) had his own apartment, and really usually, he called everybody and yelled 'PARTY!!' and those everybodys just headed to his place not knowing what they were going to find...
Once he made a Halloween party in the middle of May and a Christmas party right after Easter... but it was Sirius, and again, no one really cared.
This time, he just yelled the usual but they were only a few 'everybodys': Remus, Cassiopea, James and Lily... but Sirius asked Lily something else after he had yelled.
'hum...Lils?' said Sirius' head in Lily's fireplace.
'Yes?'
'I was wondering... you have more friends than Cassie, don't you?'
'Of course!, I've got you, Remus and...'
'No! Girl friends, I mean...'
'Oh!' said Lily quickly understanding what the matter was 'Sure, want me to take some of them?'
'Not some... just one...you know?'he said
'I can't believe this!, The amazing Sirius Black asking for a set up date?'
'I think I could get one, but I have to prepare everything and er...stuff, you know?' said Sirius not looking into Lily's eyes.
'All right, but who?'
'Erm... someone who hasn't been with me yet'
'That really shortens my list, help me, who do you have in mind?'
'Dunno! Be creative!, gotta go, see ya tonight!' *puff* Sirius' head was gone and Lily sat on the floor thinking for a second. Suddenly her eyes lit and a 'Jamish' kind of smile crept to her face. She grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it to the fireplace...
That night, the first one to arrive was James. He just apparated over Sirius' beloved black leather sofa. Sirius was facing his back to James, he was bent over polishing something (A/N: Guess what?)
'Hey, Padfoot, nice view...'laughing at his pose.
'I know... Hey, Prongs!, figured it was you...' Sirius said turning arround to face his friend 'But where's Lily?'
'Dunno' shrugged James 'I called her but she said she wasn't coming with me because she had to bring something'
'Gee, I wonder what could it be?' said Sirius retuning to his polishing, deliberately escaping from the topic.
'Padfoot... What's your motorbike doing inside the apartment?' asked James kind of lost.
'It's her birthday! I wasn't leaving her outside in the cold, was I?'
'Ok, now, are you aware it's an inanimated object?' asked James
'Shhh... You're gonna hurt her feelings!' hurried Sirius
'Great, you're not... Siri, it doesn't have feelings, It's a motorbike, for Albie's sake!' said James
'Yes, she has'
'No, it hasn't'
'Yes, she has'
'No, it hasn't'
'Yes, she has'
'No, it hasn't'
They stared into echother's eyes with anger and counted, one... two... three!
James showed his fist closed and Sirius his hand flat.
'Jaja, paper, I win, she has feelings!'
James snorted, this way of solving problems wasn't always useful...
Sirius now was magically placing a 'happy birthday' sign over their heads, when the doorbell rang.
'Maybe it's Lily!' both of them said toghether, James stared stranged trying to figure out what was happening, while Sirius ran to get the door.
'Hi!' said Cassie
'Hey, Cas! come in, there's just James and me' said Sirius
'Hi Prongs' said Cassie 'and Lils?'
'Hoped you knew' said James
Cassie just shook her head and sat on an empty armchair.
'and Remmy?' asked Sirius
'Dunno either' said Cassie taking off her coat 'he said he had to try some stuff for a potion, apparently a very difficult one he's been making up... excuse me, what are you saying James?' she asked since James was muttering 'Wolfsbane potion' to Sirius who had just understood.
'He said you look hot in that T, and he's quite right, you know?, I better try to contact Moony before any of us makes a move' said Sirius winking at her and going into the kitchen.
Cassie reacted just as expected by Sirius, she blushed and changed the topic.
'So... whose birthday is it anyway?' she asked, looking at the sign.
'oh, it's Linda's' said Sirius from where he was.
'Linda's?' asked Cassie and James at the same time
'It has a name?!' continued James
'It?!' enquired Cassie
'It's the bloody motorbike!' answered James enraged.
'Oh... Sirius!' sighed Cassie
'What?' he said 'didn't you celebrate the birthday of your teddys or something?'
'But that was when we were like five years old!' said James
'Yeah?, well... tell Mr. Toodles about it, we last celebrated his birthday on our seventh year!' reproached Sirius
'Could you please leave Mr. Toodles out of this??' asked James, getting really angry now.
'Fine!, if you leave Linda alone!'
'Fine with me!'
'Fine'
They both snorted and looked away.
Cassie was giggling silently when the door bell rang again. 'I'll get it' she said just to get away from them.
'Hey, you' she said smiling when she saw Remus standing there.
'Hey, sweetie' they kissed 'I was...' but she didn't let him finish, she kissed him again.
'I missed you' she said after a loooong kiss
'I missed you too, but you know I have to finish developing that potion before tomorrow night' said he
'I could help you, you know? If only you told me what it is...' said she looking inocently at him.
'Don't puppy-eye me, Cas! You know that I'd tell you if I could' he was suddenly looking sad.
'Ok, I won't argue, because James and Sirius had just finished an argument about Linda and Mr. Toodles' said Cassie and then explained, to answer Remus' what-the-hell-are-you-talking-about face 'Linda is Sirius' motorbike and Mr. Toodles is James' teddy bear'
'Oh...right, and, am I wrong to believe they're not talking to eachother now?' asked Remus to what Cassie answered 'Of course you are not, honey' she let Remus put his arm around her waist and softly led her to the living-room where James and Sirius were.
But then only Cassie was surprised to find the other two crying and hugging.
'I'm sooooooo sorry, Paddy, I swear I'll celebrate every birthday of any of your flying vehicles!' cried James
'It was all my fault, Prongsie! I'll never insult Mr. Toodles or any plush animal again!' cried Sirius too ' I love you, mate, Let's never ever fight again!'
'I love you too!'
'Ok, guys, a lady is here...' said Remus holding Cassie, who other way would have been laughing on the floor, instead was shaking with contained laughter, Remus was also containing a smile.
They straightened up and spoke in deeper voices.
'Sorry, Cas, babe, didn't see ya there, I have to er... spit, excuse me' said Sirius getting up and going into the kitchen.
'Yeah, and I must erm... shave or... something else only men do' said James and headed to the bathroom.
Cassie let all her laughter out and fell on the sofa, Remus sat next to her and his arm flew over her shoulders when the door bell rang for the third time.
'I'll get it!' yelled Sirius, and run through the living towards the door.
He opened and saw Lily
'Hey Lils! Finally!' he said looking around her but saw nobody 'You didn't find anyone?' asked Sirius, starting to worry.
'Well. You really shortened my list, you know?, down to one, actually...' she said, innocently.
'You mean...oh, jejeje ... but what about James?' asked Sirius suddenly looking scared.
'You perverted freak! I don't mean me! I mean Nicole!'
'Nicole Meadowes?' asked Sirius, his eyes widened and his face was taken by a silly grin but suddenly fell. 'But she didn't want to come, did she?'
'Why wouldn't she?' asked Lily
'Well, I've tried before but she never came'
'You never tried after we left Hogwarts' said Nicole, who was standing behind Lily, arms crossed, leaned against the opposite wall.
'Didn't reckon something would have changed' answered Sirius, shrugging, 'but anyway, you're here now! Come in, come in!"
James was already sitting on an armchair when they entered. Lily kissed James and sat on the arm of his armchair. Nicole was followed by Sirius.
'Hey, everyone! Look who's here!' said Sirius
'Nicole?' asked Remus seeing her 'Hi!'
'Nikki! What a lovely surprise!' said Cassie
'Cassie! I haven't seen you since we left school' they hugged 'So? What have you done with your life?'
'Well... I'm studying to become a Potions teacher' Cassie answered proudly
'Potions teacher? Well... that has always been your stile, not mine...luckily' Nikki shrugged 'I'm playing for the Holyhead Harpies'
'That's great, Nikki! I didn't know! Congratulations!' said Cassie
'Thanks! What about you, guys?' Nikki asked 'What are the Marauders up to now?'
'Well... James, Remus and Sirius are in the Auror's training program' explained Lily, 'but they still have a couple of years before they become real Aurors'
Sirius returned from the kitchen with six bottles of butterbeer.
'Here, if you want something else you will have to get up and get it, it's just my house, there's no house-elf so don't be ashamed' he said while sitting on the empty armchair. Nikki had sat on the sofa with Remus and Cassie.
'So you are with Remus now?' Nikki asked Cassie 'because you were with Sirius when we left school'
'Oh, Oh, Oh!, Let me tell you!' said Sirius as he jumped in his place ' Remus always liked her but he never told me, and well, I kind of, cheated on her, and Remus got furious and gave me one of his sermons, so then I understood that he had a huge crush on her and I haven't noticed! So dumb of me... Well, I knew she didn't like me a lot, it was just my animal magnetism what attracted her, so I told her I've cheated on her, and she went bersek and dumped me but I made her dump me when Remus was near, so she was furious and had had a little too much firewhisky, so she started looking for Remus, if you know what I mean, but as he's such an honorable young man, he took her to Lily's place, saying that this wasn't the way he wanted this to happen. The next day, Lils told her what she tried to do and how Remmy reacted so she totally fell for him and went to look for him and I bet she was the first to kiss you, right Moony?' He said this so fast that Remus took some time to answer ' That's the first wrong thing you've said, Padfoot, mate'
'Yes, I went to Remus' house and he answered the door, I was about to say thank you when he kissed me' said Cassie blushing a little 'We've been toghether since then'
'And... speaking of firewhisky...' said James looking at Sirius significantly. Lily snorted loudly. 'Come on honey, we're adults now' said James 'besides you can't hate alcohol if you never tried it'
'Yeah, Lils, you should really try it, it's not that bad if you don't have loads of it' said Cassie taking the jar that Sirius was handing her.
'What do we have today, Padfoot?' asked Remus, smelling the glass Cassie had just served with a pink liquid. (Because Sirius' addiction besides pranks were drinks, so he made them up in an awesome bar where he spent all the money he had been saving since he was five)
'Well... Today we have something I like to call 'The CheerLily''
'What?'
'The CheerLily is here to cheer you up, Lils! Please! You've gotta try it!' said Sirius
'No way, I don`t think so' said Lily
'Pleeeeease?'
'No'
'Pretty please? With sugar on top?'
'No'
'and a cherry?'
'No, and you know I don't like cherries, Sirius Black' finished Lily
'Nikki, d'you drink?' asked James offering to pour some 'CheerLily' in her glass.
'Yes, thanks' she said and after a sip she added 'Mmmhhh, Lils you've gotta try it! It's delicious, Sirius'
'Not the only thing delicious around here' said Sirius looking at her. Everyone "wooed" and laughed, including Nikki.
After a while, separate conversations had sprung and Lily found herself between listening to Nikki, Remus and James, who were discussing about Quidditch or watching Sirius and Cassie who were playing drinking competitions. She found herself playing with James' half-empty glass of CheerLily and uncounciously, her boredom made her take a sip. She felt something hot going down her throat while a strawberry flavour stood in her mouth and lips.
'Yeah! Go, Lily!' yelled Sirius suddenly, who apparently was keeping an eye on her 'Well... what do you think?'
'It isn't as bad as I thought it would be...' said Lily 'What's in it?'
'As a magician I can't tell the secret of my tricks or drinks' said Sirius solemny.
'But you're not a magician, Einstein, you are a wizard' said Remus
'Anyway, I'm not gonna tell you' Sirius finished. By that time Lily had helped herself a glass of CheerLily and after a couple of minutes and some other glasses it made honour to its name, for Lily was red on the cheeks and laughing madly at Sirius' really stupid jokes. James, on the other hand, was kind of worried...
'... are you serious?, my mother asked me and I said, well... luckily I'm not Regulus!'
'JA JA JA' Lily was now crying in laughter...
'Lily, I don't think you should drink anymore...'said James, taking Lily's glass away.
'No!' she moaned, Lily looked the other way and called 'James!'
'I'm right here, sweetie' he said rubbing his ear after Lily's shriek. She looked at him and again called him quite loudly... 'JAMES!!'
'Lily, he's right beside you' said Cassie
'Yeah, Lils, he hasn't moved' said Nikki
'Lily?'
'Oh! There you are Jamie! What kept you? There's a guy here trying to steal my drink... he was here but... oh, what ever' she grabbed his glass and drank more. James was about to take her glass away again when Sirius stopped him.
'Let her do what she wants... just for a while, so she can regret later'
At that exact time, Lily's wand hit James head while she giggled insanely. His messed black hair suddenly became furiously green and long, after the second tap, it became turquoise and spiky, then a huge pink afro popped out.
James turned to face her and she immediately hide her wand behind her back, still giggling childishly.
'Lily, what are you doing?' he asked
'Is not that I don't love you, sweetheart, is that personally I'm not a huge fan of your hair... but you are like a brother to me!'
'A brother?' all of them asked at the same time, totally puzzled.
'A brother with who I can do special things, like when we were in Remus' house and you...'
'Lily!' yelled suddenly James, covering her mouth with both his hands, blushing like he never did before.
'What?, haven't you told your friends about that time when we stole that bottled cream and...'
'Lily...'
'Ok, ok, I'll be quiet but please put your hair back to normal, I hate it that way'
James snorted, while everyone else laughed and so did Lily.
Things went on for another while, Sirius completely forgot about Linda and focused on making Lily even drunker while James tryed to stop him. Lily wasn't very well actually...
'Oh, Siri, you're really my friend... hip... I love you, you know?' she was saying while clinging to Sirius' shoulder and kissed his cheek.
'Lily, you are a mess!' said James taking her away from a laughing Sirius.
'I'm not... hip... you are, I mean, look at you, you are spinning!' she said
'No, you are' said Nikki looking at her who was about to fall on the floor
'You too, Nikki?... hip... and Sirius! Why is your ceiling spinning too?' asked Lily looking up, almost falling backwards.
'It's just a special effect, Lils' he said trying not to laugh.
Meanwhile Cassie and Remus were happily making out a little far from everything concerning about nothing but where their hands were, when Lily hanged to Sirius' shoulder again and almost shouted 'Siri, please don't tell anyone but I think Remmy is a werewolf... but shhh' Sirius was nonplussed and James froze to the core. Cassie stopped kissing him and stared at Remus, everyone was now staring at him but Lily who was sitting on the floor laughing...
'Wha...What did you just say Lily??'
Sirius' P.O.V.
Gosh...I really messed up baaad this time... poor Linda, I totally forgot about her!!

Things went on for another while, Sirius completely forgot about Linda and focused on making Lily even drunker while James tryed to stop him. Lily wasn't very well actually...
'Oh, Siri, you're really my friend... hip... I love you, you know?' she was saying while clinging to Sirius' shoulder and kissed his cheek.
'Lily, you are a mess!' said James taking her away from a laughing Sirius.
'I'm not... hip... you are, I mean, look at you, you are spinning!' she said
'No, you are' said Nikki looking at her who was about to fall on the floor
'You too, Nikki?... hip... and Sirius! Why is your ceiling spinning too?' asked Lily looking up, almost falling backwards.
'It's just a special effect, Lils' he said trying not to laugh.
Meanwhile Cassie and Remus were happily making out a little far from everything concerning about nothing but where their hands were, when Lily hanged to Sirius' shoulder again and almost shouted 'Siri, please don't tell anyone but I think Remmy is a werewolf... but shhh' Sirius was nonplussed and James froze to the core. Cassie stopped kissing him and stared at Remus, everyone was now staring at him but Lily who was sitting on the floor laughing...
'Wha...What did you just say Lily??'
Sirius' P.O.V.
Gosh...I really messed up baaad this time... poor Linda, I totally forgot about her!!
