Chapter 19
The next day Harry decided to show Ron around. Ron was fascinated by every room in the house.
"Harry, could you go and get some groceries?" Lily yelled.
"Sure mom." Harry yelled back and he and Ron went to see what they needed to get.
Lily smiled at the two boys when they entered the kitchen.
"Here's a shopping list. Please hurry."
"But I wanted to show Ron around." Harry pouted.
"Ok, you win, take your time." Lily sighed. "Oh and if you see Lisa, please ask her where she's eating lunch."
"Consider it done." Harry saluted and dragged Ron out of the house.
Ron looked around, he didn't really look at the outside of the house yesterday. It was one of the biggest houses he had seen so far, it had a beautiful white colour and he suspected it to be kept that way with magic. 'Godric's Hollow' was made out of pure gold and shone on the façade.
"Wow."
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Harry grinned.
"Yeah, I didn't really take a good look yesterday." Ron replied sheepishly.
"Just look that way." Harry pointed to the right. (A/N: They're facing the house.)
Their was a mansion just a bit smaller than the one they were standing in front of. It was made out of sandstone and 'Byrne's Hovel' was on the façade.
"Man, I would kill to live here, mate."
"You've only seen two houses." Harry laughed.
Ron's ears turned a bit red, which made Harry laugh even louder.
"Let's go." He chocked.
Everywhere Ron looked he saw mansions, some were painted and others just showed the colour of the stones they were build out of. They looked old but new all the same.
"Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"How come the houses look so new, when you told me everybody here has been living in these houses for generations?"
"Magic." Harry replied.
Ron hit his head.
"How could I be so stupid?"
Harry began to laugh again and Ron joint.
The two passed a small park. In the middle of it was a pond with a fountain in the middle of that. The pond was surrounded by paths, trees, groves, benches, flowers and grass fields. One of those fields was used as a playing-field, it was filled with swings, seesaws, slides. There was a sand- pit and a whirligig.
A minute later they passed an adorable little church.
"That's were we need to be." Harry pointed. "It's the smallest house you'll find here."
Right in front of them was a medium supermarket with a two story house on top of it.
"Hey Harry. How was Hogwarts?" The girl at the check-out greeted.
"Hi Penny, Hogwarts was fun, thanks for asking."
The girl had long curling green hair and bright purple eyes. She looked around the age of sixteen.
"Who's your friend?"
"Ron Weasley, he's in my house and year."
"Hello Ron, my name is Penny Key, nice to meet you."
"Hey, nice to meet you too." Ron replied.
"Well, Penny, I have to get some groceries for my mom, but after that I got some time to talk, ok?"
"Sure."
Harry took a basket and walked into the store with Ron right behind him.
"Are those her natural looks?" He asked.
"Nope, she painted her hair and that purple eye-colour comes from he contact lenses."
Ron nodded, but Harry noticed he didn't get a word he said.
"It's the Muggle way of changing their looks, they can't do it with magic, so they do it their way."
"Oh, now I get it."
Harry quickly got all the things he needed and went to pay, while waiting he talked very animated with Penny.
"I have to go now, Pen. My mom wants me home before lunch and I still have to find Liz."
"Ok, I'll see you later. Bye Ron."
"Bye Penny." Ron said. "Hey Har, where do you intent to find Elisabeth?"
"One; Call her Liz or Lissy, everybody does and two; I think she's at the Doors." Harry replied and began to walk into the same direction they came from.
When they got to the park Harry entered it.
"And why may I ask are we going this way?"
"It's a short cut to the Doors' mansion."
"Ok."
On the other side of the park they crossed the street and to the mansion right in front of them. Three kids were sitting under a large tree.
"Hey Lisa!" Harry yelled.
The three jumped up and ran towards Harry and Ron.
"Hey, what's up?" Elisabeth greeted.
"Mom asks if you're coming home for lunch."
"Nope, but I'll be home for dinner."
Ron was standing next to Harry and was feeling a bit uncomfortable. Harry noticed and smiled slightly.
"Oh, I forgot. Jennifer, Jake, this is Ron Weasley. Ron, these are Jennifer and Jake Doors."
"Weasley? Are you the son of Arthur Weasley?" Jake asked.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Our father works at the Ministry too, he's an Unspeakabe. Talks a lot about your father." Jennifer explained.
"Yeah, he says that your dad could easily get a promotion, but two thinks stop that: One; your dad loves his job too much, two; Fudge thinks your dad's a weirdo, because of his possession with Muggles." Jake finished.
"That second thing is completely bullshit." Jennifer stated.
"Fudge is bullshit." Elisabeth said plainly.
This caused the other four to burst out laughing.
"Hey, it's true, the only reason Fudge is minister is because Dumbledore wouldn't leave Hogwarts."
"And how do you know that?" Harry raised and eyebrow.
"Like I said before; eavesdropping."
~~~That night~~~
The whole Potter family and Ron sat curled up in front of the roaring fire. Everybody was holding a cup steaming hot chocolate and James was telling them a story about his time at Hogwarts.
"So, Flitwick told us all to practise the spell for the next lesson. And us Marauders being as studious as we were (Elisabeth and Lily snorted.) decided to begin as soon as we could. So, at the end of dinner, we didn't want to miss any of the precious food, we got out our wands and set half of the Slytherin students on fire."
Everybody started to laugh.
"McGonagall tried to give us detention, but because Flitwick made it homework, she couldn't."
More laughter filled the room.
"I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for the teacher at Hogwarts." Harry chocked.
"And why is that?" James asked.
"They thought they were finally freed of you, but next year they'll get Elisabeth and she already proved to be at least ten times worse then you."
"Well, she will have to behave or I'll personally drag her home." Lily said.
"But mom, I already made a bet with uncle Sirius." Elisabeth whined.
"And that is?"
"That I'll broke his detention record."
"Good luck, you'll need it." James smirked.
"And why is that?" Lily asked.
"Sirius record is set at 4999 detentions."
"That's impossible, we haven't been at Hogwarts that long. Even if he would have spent 7 years non stop at Hogwarts and get detention every day he would get to 2557 detentions." Lily sighed.
"We counted the times a teacher yelled 'detention' at us and that could get up to twenty times a day." James grinned.
Lily shook her head and Harry could have sworn he heard her mutter something like; 'What was I thinking when I married the ring-leader of the Marauders'.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Sorry it took me so long to update, but I have to go to school and the other stories just wanted to get out of my head. I'd like to introduce you to my most loyal reviewer; Dutch Lily Flower. Please review. Oh and if you got an idea for a protection charm or prank for Pandemonium, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, SHARE IT WITH ME. I promise I'll use it.
Special thanks to radarPLO, I'll definitely use your idea, I think it's brilliant.
