Safe Haven?

There was one week of summer left.

Lily walked out of the house. She had visited the doctor with her mother and had gotten the okay to leave the house, and the forced confinement.

She was old enough to drive, and her father had taken her to get her license the other day; she walked over to the car she shared with her sister, which her sister never used, and started the engine.

She drove to Teri's house, about twenty minutes away.

"Hey Wings, how are you?" Lily asked as she walked into her friends room. "You ready to go? My dad's said it's alright for me to go over to James' house with you, on the condition that I call every night with on my cell."

"Great," said Teri, grunting as she tried to get the truck she was packing closed. Teri made some inarticulate sound as she fell on the floor.

Lily laughed and after another three minutes of shoving and pounding, they got Teri's trunk closed, and with a little help from Teri's dad, Teri's father got the trunk into the back of Lily's car.

"Hey guys," called Lily, when she and Teri got to James' house.

"AHHHH!" yelled Teri, when Sirius tackled her onto the floor.

"Hey sweetie," said James to Lily, giving her a deep kiss.

"Hey to you too," said Lily just before she gave him a kiss of her own.

~********~

When Lily and Teri were all settled in they all went outside, to hang out by the pool.

The guys were already wet, splashing at each other, and having races down and back across the pool.

Teri came out in a dark blue bikini, which matched her blue eyes perfectly; and by the time she had been outside for three seconds she was in the pool; having been pulled in my Sirius.

Lily came out five minutes later, wearing a emerald green bikini; which, like Teri's, matched her eyes perfectly.

James had by then gotten out of the pool, and surprised her with a kiss when she asked where he had gotten to.

All in all it was the perfect end to the summer, forgetting their worries, forgetting that dangers existed outside their world, and one day, their world would no longer exist.

Diagon Alley, was rather empty for it being just before the beginning of the summer.

They had met up with Remus at the Leaky Cauldron, and had just finished getting their books; Lily and Teri's parents had given them money to by their school supplies, and the five of them were with Remus, Sirius, and James' parents were with them.

"Can we stop for ice cream?" asked Sirius. "Please, please, please. . ."

"Of course you can, dear," said his mother, handing him several sickles. "Now, Sirius, I don't want to hear anything about you breaking anything while your over there. Be good."

Sirius nodded, and the five of them walked over to the ice cream parlor.

They each got a waffle cone, and they sat outside licking the slowly melting heaps of deliciousness.

That was when they heard a scream . . .
