In the morning Remus is the first one to rise. He gently moves Jenna off his arm. Remus gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom, when he walks past James' bed he doesn't notice anything. When he comes back out he makes out movement on James' bed. It's nothing really, but it makes him see that James is in the bed with Lily. He laughs on the inside. Just like James, he thinks, to find a way into the bed with Lily. He sits on the side of his bed. Jenna stirs slowly; she pushes herself into a sitting position.
"Morning." She says. He puts a finger to his lips then points to the other bed. Jenna looks over and a look of shock crosses her face. Lily and James are lying in the bed with James spooning Lily. "Wha…"
"It's ok, I doubt they did anything, we were right here the whole night." He points out. Jenna blushes, that was the first time she had actually slept in the same bed with a guy. Remus blushes too, it was the first time he had slept in the same bad with a girl.
"We should let them sleep. Why don't we go eat breakfast?" Jenna says as she swings her legs off to the side of the bed.
"Ok, we can get dressed then go down." Remus says. Jenna shakes her head and laughs under her breath. He sees her do this. "What?"
"We can go down in our pyjamas."
"People will stare at us." Remus points out.
"Arrgh… my boyfriend is a party pooper. Come on Re, have some fun. What the big deal if people stare…Do you really care what other people think?" Jenna asks. She hops up and grabs his hands. She pulls him up onto his feet and pulls him out of the room. She shuts the door quietly.
"Jenn…you forgot the key." Remus tells her.
"Oh well, I guess they'll have to be up by the time we get back then." She says. They go and eat breakfast.
Meanwhile…
Lily and James sleep peacefully until James hears the door shut. He tries to stretch, but then realizes he can't move his one arm. It's under Lily. Crap, he thinks, oh well I've gotten girls off my arm before. I'll just roll her off. He very gently tries to roll Lily off. She groans and yawns. He stops trying when Lily rubs her eyes. She rolls over and realizes that James is right there. She moves back.
"James, why are we in the same bed? We weren't like this when I fell asleep." She points out.
"You had a really bad nightmare last night, don't you remember?" he says. She shakes her head. "You were thrashing around. It must have been a horrible nightmare." Slowly everything begins to come back to her. Lily's eyes widen in shock as she remembers the nightmare. It started out the same as the last she had; she was sitting in the same rocking chair as before. There was the same baby in her arms; James came up to them the same way and said the same thing, "How's our little Harry?". Only this time the dream goes farther and it's not a dream, it's a nightmare. This time Lily puts Harry into his crib. She walks away. It gets dark out and there's another person in the house. Lily goes to see who it is; James is standing in a room with this other person. Lily hears him scream, "Run Lily, take Harry and go.". There are tears streaming down Lily's face. She goes to grab Harry. The person follows her. The last thing she remembers is a flash of green light and a cold voice yelling, "Adava Kedavra.". James notices that Lily looks like she's going to cry. "Lils are you ok?"
"I remember the nightmare James." She tells him. He pulls her close. (Why do things like this have to happen to someone so amazing, he wonders.) Lily cries into his chest. "James it was horrible, you…you…"
"What Lils?" he asks her. She breaks down and sobs. "It's ok if you don't want to talk about it now, but I'm here if you change your mind. You know that don't you?" James asks. Lily nods yes. James pulls her close, she cries into his chest.
"James…"
"Yeah?"
"Are we going back home today?" Lily asks. James is shocked, but doesn't show it, Lily had just said going home. Did she mean his house or Hogwarts?
"Hogwarts?"
"No your house…wait I said home didn't I?" Lily asks him, James nods yes.
"Ya know you could make it your home." James says with a smirk on his face.
"James." She says as she giggles. "Ok we should get up and have breakfast."
"Where are Remus and Jenna?" James asks as he gets up and sees the other bed empty.
"I don't know maybe they already went down to eat." Lily replies. "I'll be right back, I've gotta go get some clothes from my room."
"Go have a shower; I'll go get your trunks." James tells her. He gets up and kisses her cheek before he goes. She gets up and goes and has her shower. When she comes back out James is lying on the bed. She starts to go over but then hears a knock on the door. She goes and opens it, it's Remus and Jenna. She puts a finger to her lips and points to James. She goes and opens her trunk quietly. Remus and Jenna sit down. Lily goes into the bathroom to change. Just as she finishes she hears a scream coming from the room. "REMUS!!!"
"Come on James…it was just a joke." Remus says. Lily runs out of the bathroom to see James with pink hair and wearing a pink and purple flowered dress. Her hand flies to her mouth to keep her from laughing. It fails her, Lily bursts out laughing. James throws her a death glare.
"James, it's easy to fix. Go change out of that dress then we'll change your hair back. I mean you don't want to go see your parents while wearing a dress do you?" Lily tells him, James shakes his head. He goes and changes. Remus grabs some clothes and he and Jenna go into the other room and get changed. They all get back in the room at the same time. They go to talk to James' parents.
Remus, Jenna, James, and Lily all went and talked to James' parents. They agreed that the four of them should leave after being told the story of what happened. The whole sordid story of how Lily went out with Marcus, by herself, and how he tried to rape her. The Potters arranged for a portkey for the four. They had decided that the kids could stay at home themselves as long as they told the Chines. James assured his parents that they would. The Potters drive the children back to the hill at which they arrived, there's a crumpled pop can lying on the ground. The kids pick it up and with seconds they're transported into the Potters backyard. They're far enough back that no one would notice. They land with a thud. James and Remus drag their and the girls trunks to the house. James puts Lily's trunk back into the guest room beside his room. Remus puts his things into the other guest room right down the hall. Jenna follows him in.
"So we should go over to your house, your parents will want to know we're back." Remus says. Jenna sits down on the bed.
"Its vacation, do we really need to tell them we're back? They'll make me go home. Don't you want me here?" she teases gently. Remus sits down beside her. They hear noises coming through the open window in the room.
Outside…
Sirius had gotten a note from James last night saying that they would be coming home. Sirius decided to go over and visit them. He walks up to the front door and knocks. He continues knocking. Where are they, I know they're back, he thinks. Just then Mr. Chine leaves his house. He sees Sirius knocking on the door. Sirius feels a taping on his shoulder. He turns around, it's Mr. Chine.
"Mr Black, the Potters went to Paris for the break. No one is home right now. I'm surprised that James didn't tell you." He says.
"Oh, sir they came back already, well James, Remus, Lily, and Jenna did. There was a problem in Paris so they came back, Mr. and Mrs. Potter stayed behind because they had something to deal with there. Didn't they call you yet?" Sirius asks. From the look on Mr. Chine's face Sirius could tell he didn't know anything about everyone coming back. It was look of confusion and a little bit of anger.
"I think I might have to get to the bottom of this." He says to himself. He knocks on the door. No one answers. He knocks again and again. Finally the door opens, it's James. Before James can say a word Mr. Chine pushes himself into the house. "Where's my daughter?"
"Mr. Chine how good to see you, it's been too long." James replies sincerely.
"Where's Jenna?" Mr. Chine demands again.
"Oh she's upstairs sir. Lily's up there with her." James tells him. He hopes that Lily is with Jenna or they're all in big trouble.
Upstairs Lily was sitting in her room reading Romeo and Juliet. She heard a male voice talking very loudly. Oh no, it that my dad? How did he find me here, she wonders. She hears the man stomping up the stairs. She gets up to lock the door. When she starts to shut the door she notices that it's Mr. Chine and not her father.
"Mr. Chine how are you?" she asks him as he comes to her door. Her door is almost closed; Mr. Chine tries to look in.
"Is Jenna in there? I'd like to speak with her."
"No she's down the hall with Remus." Lily tells him. Suddenly Mr. Chine takes off down the hall. He burst into the guest room. Jenna is lying on the bed with Remus on top of her, making out. Well a little more than making out if you get my point.
"JENNA ARIANA CHINE WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU"RE DOING?" Mr. Chine yelled at her. Jenna and Remus sit up shocked.
"Dad…ummm…what are you doing here?" Jenna asks. Remus moves away from Jenna.
"You have some explaining to do Jenna. And who is the boy?" he demands to know.
"He's my boyfriend dad. Dad this is Remus Lupin, Re this is my dad." Jenna explains to her father.
"Jenna we're leaving, say goodbye." He says. Jenna gives Remus an I'm-sorry-look. She leaves as her father makes her go. Remus can hear her father scolding her as they leave. "You're never to see that boy again Jenna, do you hear me?"
Meanwhile…
Sirius waits outside the door. James slowly realizes that he's there and invites him in. They stand at the bottom of the stairs.
"What's his problem?" Sirius asks.
"Umm…I guess Jenna hadn't told her parents we were home yet. He's not too happy." James points out. They watch as Jenna is dragged out of the house and into her own. "I guess Jenna wasn't with Lily, which means that Jenna and Remus were together alone. We should go see Remus; I remember what happened when Mr. Chine found me and Jenna in her bedroom. And WE weren't doing anything but homework."
"I remember that, he thought that you guys were well…"
"Yeah, I know what you mean." James says. They go up; Lily exits her room as they come by. James knocks on Remus' door, no answer.
"Remus? Can we come in?" Lily asks him through the door. Still no answer, Lily turns to the boys. "Should we just go in?" She whispers. James nods. Lily reaches for the handle and opens the door. Remus is lying on back on the bed staring up at the ceiling.
"Guys I don't want to talk right now." Remus says when he hears them come in. Well he knows that Sirius and James are there, he didn't hear Lily when she had called to him. James turns to lily.
"Lils, why don't you go back to your room or something? We know what to do when he gets like this." He whispers. She nods and leaves, walking down the hall to her room. She sits down in the chair again and picks up her book. Lily reads while the boys talk.
"Remus, come on, talk to us. What happened?" Sirius asks. He and James walk towards him. They each sit down on one side of Remus. He sits up. "Nothing could be as bad as when McGonagall caught me and Eloise making out under the invisibility blanket during the Halloween feast last year. I got detention for two months with her. Nothing is worse than detention with McGonagall."
"Wrong, nothing's worse then having the father of your girlfriend walk into the room when you're on top of her." He tells them. Then he adds quietly. "…With your hand up her shirt."
"Ok maybe that's worse mate." Sirius says to him. He hasn't heard how James and Lily walked in and found Remus and Jenna in bed together.
Lily hears knocking on the door downstairs. She gets up. (I doubt James will mind if I open it, she thinks, he's busy.) She walks downstairs and opens the door. Her jaw falls open in shock. She screams.
"JAMES."
