Hogsmende visits were cancelled for the rest of the year, not that many
students minded after everything which had happened; they felt much safer
in school. But the war that had always been so far away from them was
finally knocking at their doors, and this year had made people believe that
there is more of a feat then they had wanted to believe.
Some were so afraid that they wouldn't even speak Voldermot name anymore, afraid that he was capable of knowing if it was spoken and then they would be next on his hit list.
Every week without fail there were more attacks, Auror's were being killed; families were being killed, but what was worst was the disappearing; people were disappearing or acting odd and doing things out of their normal control. Only a few Death Eater's have been arrested or even killed themselves during attacks. Their forces seemed to be growing every week.
Slytherin had upped their hatred for what they called Mud-Bloods, everyone knew that they were liking to turn but didn't want to think about people they knew that they have been to school and had lesson's with; might end up the papers one week after killing a whole family being a Death Eater.
Nissa had tried to get round Severus but he seemed farer away then normal, and was being pulled along willingly with the rest of his house. Regulus seemed to have completely lost his mind, and had many arguments with Sirius who tried to talk sense into him; only one thing came of them he stopped making out so much that he was going to become a Death Eater as soon as he became old enough.
Sirius was furious with him, he wanted to help him make him see sense as well as his cousin Bellatrix who was in her last year; but neither of them would listen to him.
Nissa had made up with him, after talking with Severus one day; he had really upset her. Sirius had tried to comfort her about him, and she tried about his cousin and brother; but they both knew that they were lost to themselves and could only help themselves now.
Their sixth year was coming to an end, a lot sooner then any of them would have liked; they all made plans to see each other over the holidays not wanting to be cut off from one another with everything going on.
Last Summer Holidays
It was the summer holidays, everyone was excited as usually but not so at the same time with everything that was going on outside of the school and also so close to it; but they were home with their families.
Nissa stayed at her flat above her shop, but was visited by friends who also stayed over as well considering she wouldn't stay with them.
She was locking up, when she saw them walking up the road towards her; she opened the door again for them and smiled.
"Well this is a surprise, how many times is it now, and it's only the second week?" Nissa asked them as they came in and Remus locked the door behind them.
"Do you mind, because we can always leave?" Sirius teased her.
"Of course not, why would I." Nissa told them. "But you can cook, unless you want me to poison you."
"What do you think these are for." James asked her holding up bags full of food. "Mum packed them; she didn't want you or us going hungry."
"She's great isn't she?" Sirius said as they followed her upstairs to her flat.
"Yeap, don't know what I would do without them." James admitted.
"Peter couldn't make it, but we told him that we would meet up in Diagon Ally this week." Remus told her as he sat down on the sofa.
Nissa sat down on the chair with Sirius on the arm, while James stood next to the kitchen door.
"So I'll cook, we'll be eating in about an hour." James told them.
"What are we doing about the sleeping arrangements?" Sirius asked her. "We're staying we did tell you."
"I haven't got room." Nissa told him again.
"Course you have." Sirius said. "We've already talked about it, I'll sleep with you, James in the spare bedroom; and Remus said that he'll take the sofa. So see fine."
"You'll sleep with me." Nissa said, knowing now what was going on.
"Yeah, you'll be purring like a kitten in my arms." Sirius told her smiling.
"Of course I will." Nissa said. "I'm still not sure though."
"Why not?" Sirius asked her.
"I'm going in there with James." Remus told them getting up and going into the kitchen. "He told her the sleeping arrangements he came up with."
"So how's she taking it?" James asked.
"Not sure, I think she's thinking it over." Remus answered. "I've got a feeling though that he'll win her over."
"Doesn't he always." James agreed.
James finished up tea with Remus' help, while Sirius talked Nissa round; which he did in the end. They sat round the table by the window in the living room. An owl tapped at the window, James got up to let it in because he knew who it belonged too.
"Lily's owl." James told them as he took the letter, but was disappointed when it wasn't addressed to him. "It's for you Nis."
Nissa took the letter off him and read trying to keep it away from Sirius who was trying to read over her shoulder, she ended up near enough reading out of Remus' lap.
"She wants to meet up over the holiday, with us all." Nissa told them pushing Sirius back into his own seat so that she could sit up. "We can meet up in Diagon Ally or go round to her house."
"We'll go to her house tomorrow." James told them. "She could stay as well here."
"I think I need a bigger place at this rate." Nissa said.
Nissa wrote back to Lily telling her that they'll see her tomorrow they'll come and get her, so she doesn't have to walk round London on her own.
James walked up the path of Lily's house trying to flatted his hair, Sirius was smirking behind him pushing him along because he was taking hours to walk.
"Some time today if you don't mind." Sirius told him.
"Your hair's fine, well it'll do; she's been going out with you over a year she's not going to bother now is she." Remus told him.
James stood in front of the door with them all stood behind him waiting for him to knock on the door, he did finally just as Bella walked up the behind them.
"Hi, well Lily's popular today isn't she?" Bella said smiling at them all.
"Yeah, we got an owl yesterday; so we're all going out." Nissa told her. "Do you want to come with?"
"Yeah why not." Bella said as the door opened.
Mr Evans stood there looking at them all, a little overwhelmed at how many were stood there. Sirius nudged James in the back when he never said anything.
"Mr Evan's, I'm James Potter. I was wondering we were wondering is Lily in." James said rare nervously.
"Of course she is." Mr Evans said eyeing him up. "James Potter, boyfriend?"
"Yes." James answered.
"Dad who is it?" Lily asked coming to the door. "Oh hi, I'll just get my coat." She went back in and grabbed her coat.
"Boyfriend, he said he was your boyfriend." Her father questioned, as Lily quickly past him pushing James away from him.
"Bye dad, see ya later." Lily said waving goodbye, then whispered. "You told him, I knew I should have said something."
"Sorry, I didn't know; I thought he knew." James said.
They go out round London for the day, Lily show's them round muggle London; and then other days they go into Diagon Ally those times Peter could make it. They spend most of their summer visiting one another, and staying over.
Lily's parents love James and the fact that he's a wizard as well, but of course Petunia doesn't like him or anything to do with that sort of thing. Lily also visited James' house and meet his parents, Sirius was there of course because he lived there; she had been quit surprised when she found out. She hadn't known, no one had told her; they didn't realise. Which of course Sirius didn't want everyone knowing that sort of thing about him, about his family; he didn't mind them knowing that he was one of the Potter's and they treated him like a son.
Sirius stayed over with Nissa a few times, even though she objects every time he still stayed. Sirius set Remus up with Bella one night, and she had been quit taken by him.
The summer was finally over and it was time to go back to Hogwarts for their last year, none of them had realised how fast it had all gone.
They sat on the Hogwarts Express travelling through the countryside. Sirius was sat with Remus and Peter and Nissa and Bella facing them, they were waiting for James and Lily to come back in.
The door opened, they all pulled out their wands; party steamers and glitter exploded out of the ends covering both James and Lily. They look up smiling at their friends, and saw the sign above the window.
Congrats Head Boy and Head Girl
"Way to go Prongs, who would have thought it." Sirius said clapping him on the back.
"You desired it Lily." Nissa told her.
"You no one else was going to get it, still a bit surprised about James though." Bella said.
"It's because of his good looks and everything." Sirius told them smiling.
"I thought it was going to be Remus." James admitted.
"Prefects don't always get it, and you desired it." Remus told him.
Everyone came in to say hi, and if it was true that James was Head Boy; they could believe it of Lily of course but James. Well everyone was chuffed; they could get away with more, with him being Head Boy and all; and so could he.
Some were so afraid that they wouldn't even speak Voldermot name anymore, afraid that he was capable of knowing if it was spoken and then they would be next on his hit list.
