Hey! Chapter Thirty!! I seriously didn't think I would write this much...but whatever floats my boat. Oh my gosh, last night me and my friends were volunteering at this kids party and we were painting their faces...then we ran out of kids so we started drawing on each other and my friend drew a huge tinkerbell on my leg (i was dressed as a pirate...) and it won't come off! So I'm walking around in a skirt and everyone's like YOU GOT A TATTOO! and Im like yeah, cause' you know I'm so bad! The song is by Billy Boyd (Pippin from Lord of the rings)! I love it..

Chapter Thirty- The Picnic

Home is behind

The world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow

To the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight

Mist and Shadow

Cloud and shade

All shall fade

All shall fade...

About ten minutes later the three of us ended up back at the boys apartment to pick them up for the picnic. They didn't know where our 'soon not to be' secret spot was, so we had to apparate with them.

"Hello?" Nese called out, as we looked around the empty living room.

"Hi." Remus said, walking out of the kitchen with his face covered in something...red...

"Oh my god! Remus, are you okay?!" Anais yelped, rushing forward and wiping the "supposed" blood off of his cheek.

Remus looked confused and then as if he had remembered something.

"It's just a cut." He mumbled, with a slight blush as Anais fussed over him. She ended up pulling him into the bathroom to clean the cut. She never was good with healing charms.

"Wanna bet they end up not even touching the cut?" Abbey asked with a small wink. I groaned and rolled my eyes, poking her in the stomach.

"Cut it out." I said, and she stuck her tongue out at me.

"No seriously. I'll bet you three galleons Anais makes the first move!" Abbey giggled as I clasped my hands over my ears. I seriously did not want to hear about my friend's romantic relationship with my other friend who was like my brother...it's really weird.

"No, maybe Remus'll kiss her first!" Abbey said, pulling my hands from my ears.

"They can hear you!" I whispered out through my suppressed giggles.

"Who can hear you? Cause' I know I can?" Abbey and I both held our breath, thinking we had been caught by Nese or Remus. Thank god it was just Sirius and James.

"Bah, you two aren't important." Abbey said, letting out a sigh of relief as my shoulders relaxed.

"Wow, that makes me feel so loved." Sirius said with a dramatic sigh, slumping onto the couch. Abbey slanted an eyebrow at him with an amused smile flittering across her face.

"My boyfriend, ladies and gentlemen, the drama queen." Abbey said and I giggled at Sirius' expression. He looked between confused and angry that his girlfriend just called him a drama queen.

I felt James' arms slip around my waist and the familiar weight of his head on my shoulder. I smiled as he played with my hair, softly.

"Let's go you guys!" I yelled towards the bathroom. We heard scuffling around and then the two walked out looking very flushed indeed.

"Lils, I'll be needing those three galleons." Abbey noted, sending me a knowing smile. I scowled at her and shook my head.

"I never agreed to that." I countered and she stuck her tongue out at me. Sirius and James were looking back and forth between the two, before they began to understand what had happened. A small smirk began to appear on Sirius' features and I could tell he was about to say something dumb and embarass us all.

Remus seemed to catch that drift as well because he spoke up quickly.

"So, the picnic? Let's go!" Remus said and I grabbed James' hand from around my waist and turned to face him.

I gave him a small smile, before apparating to our spot.

When I opened my eyes we were standing next to the small little brook that ran through the clearing. A checkered blanket had been put down right next to the brook and a picnic basket sat on top of it.

I looked up at James and saw him looking around, mesmerized by the scenery.

"Wow." He breathed and I grinned at his reaction.

"Do you like it?" I asked and he nodded his head, speechless.

"Good." I said as we heard two pops and Nesie and Remus appeared a foot away from us, almost landing in the brook.

Anais giggled and stepped away from the stream.

"That was close." She muttered as Remus took her hand and they sat down on the blanket, looking around at the clearing.

"Where are the other two?" I asked Remus, who was watching Anais as if she intended on running away.

"They're having a little spat...something about being a queen." Remus answered and I rolled my eyes. Sirius always took her little jokes a little too literally.

James grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the blanket, plopping down next to Remus and pulling me into his lap.

"You're so beautiful." He whispered into my ear and I frowned. I hate when he does that.

"Stop." I mumbled and he gave me a weak smile.

"Why?" He asked and I blushed as he seemed to see right through me.

"You say that when I'm no different than any other girl. I'm not beautiful, I'm normal." I told him, I sounded like I was stating a fact. Like, milk gives you calcium!

Now it was his turn to frown.

"Lily, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met, if you ever tell yourself that you're normal or anything less I'll..."

"You'll what?" I asked with a small smile. I like how he stands up for me, like all my other boyfriends hadn't. But then again, they were all bastards and I only had like...three.

"Think of something to do." James said, winking at me.

Two pops later and Sirius and Abbey appeared, on the other side of the brook. Abbey frowned, looking down at the clear water that threatened to get her feet wet.

Sirius looked from the brook to Abbey and then smirked, picking her off of her feet and into his arms. He walked through the small stream over to our side and put her down on solid ground.

"Queen indeed. I don't think any queen has ever lifted their girlfriend and carried them across a river." Sirius taunted and Abbey smiled.

"Okay, knight in shining armor, it wasn't even a river, it was like a foot long stream." Abbey giggled as Sirius just stuck his tongue out and sat down on the other side of me and James.

"What'd we miss?" Sirius asked and I shrugged.

"Nothing really."

We spent probably an hour making small talk and James playing with my hair before Sirius jumped up claiming he wanted to play quidditch.

So all three guys and Abbey grabbed their brooms and mounted, taking off towards the trees. I scooted over by Nesie who was watching Remus pull out of a dive. Her eyes were shining.

"You two are so cute." I whispered and she jumped, not knowing I had caught her staring.

"Can you keep a secret?" She whispered back and I nodded my head.

"He asked me out this morning." She said, biting her lip and I let out an excited yelp that attracted the attention of the flyers.

"What's wrong Lily?" James yelled, looking like he was about to come down and take care of me.

"Big bug!" I answered and they went back to playing as Nesie hid her giggles.

"So what'd you say?" I asked, already knowing the answer. But hey, I needed all the facts so I could tease her about them later.

"Well I was cleaning his cut and apparently I hit a sensitive spot and he grabbed my arm, making me look down at him. Oh my god, Lily, his eyes are so cute!" Anais gushed and I smiled, happy Anais was finally able to find the right guy for her.

"Anyways, he told me he loved my hair and how my eyes were shinging...blah blah blah, then he asked me and I told him yes!" Anais said with a bright smile and I grinned, hugging her.

"That is so great!" I gushed, back and we both got lost in our own little world of gossip.

Lalala..
