"Oh look, it's the..."began Lucious.

"Don't even start you big, fat..." groweled Sirius.

"BOYS!" Mr. Puffy raised his voice, "please try to get along so last year does not get repeated!"

"Sorry Mr.Potter," sighed Sirius, "I'm still working for the money for the chandelir."

"Ya, sorry Mr. Potter," said Lucious.

"There you go boys, you don't always have to fight," said Mr. Malfoy," Why can't you get along like Harry and I do?" Harry noded his head in agreemnet.

"Well, let's go eat, everybody," said Harry," And don't worry boys, you don't have to sit by one another."

"Good," said Remus," for your guys' sake!"

Everybody followed Harry into the dinig room, which like the resrt of the house, was huge, like the rest of the house, and began to eat. Harry, Matt, Mr's.Malfoy, Lupin, and Carson started up a boomong conversation about the ministrey of magic. Mrs's. Potter, Lupin, Malfoy and Black started a conversation about the extraordinary prices at Madame Malkins for ball gowns. The boys (exept for lucious) were talking in hushed voices in a huddle, most likely about some prank they were going to pull when term started again. They didn't invite Lily, Lizzy and Hannah into their conversation, so they started talking about boys they had seen at school. (Hannah helped with the names and personalities while Lucious sat at the end of the table picking at his food miserably).

"What's that cute blonde guys name from year 2?" asked Lizzy suddnely going into a daze.

"Gilderoy Lockhart!?!" exclaimed Lily and Hannah at the same time in disbelief.

"Ya, that's his name!" said Lizzy, What's he like Hannah?"

"Let's see, he's gorgeous [sorry, i just had to put that in, they say the same thing i the REAL books], he's got tons of money, tons of girls chasing after him, and a brainthe size of a pea!" The dazed smile fell from Lizzy's face.

"Really?" exclaimed Lizzy," but he seems so nice!"

"He's a complete show off!" sied Hannah.

"No he's not! Is he?" asked Lizzy.

"Do you know his girlfriend is at the moment?" asked Lily."Reeta Skeeter!"

"No!" exclamed Lizzy.

"Yes," said Lily," That no good, peice of crap, son of a..."

"Lily!" said Hannah.

"What?"

"We get it!" Lizzy and Hannah exclaimed in unison.

"Sorry, but I mean who would go out with Reeta Skeeter?" asked Lily.

"Ya, I guess, but I still think he's cute..." said Lizzy.

"LIZZY!" Lily and Hannah exclaimed, a bit to loudly so that all the table looked at them funny. "Sorry," said Hannah.

"Dessert anyone?" asked Mrs.Potter.

When they all finished eating James, Sirius, Remus, Danny, Hannah, Lily, and Lizzy [from now on i'm gonna call all of them the gang (i couldn't think of anything better, but it offends you in anyway ( I don't no why) then tell me and i'll call them the crew)] went up to

James' room and started talking about the teachers at Hogwarts ("Not all of them are bad!" protested Remus) While the parenst went into the living room to get drunk.

James stood up, "You guys stay here, We'll be right back, come on Sirius" Sirius followed him out of the room.

"I wonder what this is about..." said Hannah curiously, "I bet he's gonna sneak some booze! What an idiot, I have to stop them!" Hannah stood up to leave.

Danny's hand suddenly shot up and grabed Hannah arm,"Kill the motor dude."

"What?" asked Hannah

"It's from a muggle movie, it means chill, settle down..." said Danny, "What if thier not!"

"What if they are!" exclaimed Hannah, "This is James and Sirius were talking about!"

"Ya, but how many parents are down there?" asked Danny.

"Who are the parents" asked Hannah, " Which ones aren't drunk already?"

"Good point!" said Danny, letting go, " You go girl!"

Everyone followed Hannah out of the room. Just as they approached the stairs they saw James and Sirius running up the stairs with lookes of horror on their faces. "Hurry up, go back to my room" said James. Everyone did as they were told, they wanted to know what was going on.

"Whats up?" asked Hannah teasingly after James had closed the door."All the booze is gone?"

"No, worse!" exclaimed James.

"What!" exclaimed everybody in the rooma t the same time (or close to it), " spit it out!"

James waved his had at Sirius, clearly telling him to tell them.

"Mr. Malfoy just got a phone call," explained Sirius," Their house elf set their house on fire, and now it's in ashes on the ground! Nothings left!"

"Yes!" exclaimed Hannah.

"No way!" yelled Lily excitedly.

"No!" James stoped them, " he hasn't told you the bad part!"

"Well scince the Malfoys have no place to stay their good friend Harry Potter has invited them to saty here for the next 6 months!"

"No!" everybody yelled

"There is absolutly no way i'm going to let that thing sleep on the same floor as me!" screamed Hannah.

"Suddenly the door burst open,"Hello all!" said Lucious," guess were im sleeping for the bext 6 months!" He jumped up onto the spare bed in James' room.

"No!!!!!" yelled James throwing his fists into the air.

"Okay..." said Lizzy, " anyway...."

"Mr. Potter?" asked asked a squeaky voice from the door way.

"What?" yelled James spinning around to look at the house elf.

"Your father said to tend to Mr.Malfoy's needs tonight." said the house elf.
"Okay that just sounded wrong!" said Sirius

"Okay, go away," James said to the elf.

"So, I need a wake-up call at 9:00 a.m. and I like pancakes for my breakfast in bed!" said Lucious cheerfully.

"Screw off Malfoy!" said James," Why, why me, why him, why now, why..."

"James!"exclaimed Hannah, "Your pacing again!"

"Oh, right," said James.

"He's trying to stop his bad habit," said Hannah.

"I think I better go now, " said Lily.

"Ya, us to," asid Danny, "Liz?"

"Right," said Lizzy jumping up off the bed," See you later guys!"

"Good luck," added Lily.

"Bye," Lily, Lizzy, and Danny said.

"Bye," said James, Sirius, Remus and Lucious.

Remus glared at Lucious, "They weren't talking to you!"

"They weren't talking to you!" screamed Lucious.

"Don't even start!" warned Remus.

"Don't even start, " copied Lucious.

"UHH!" exclaimed Remus," I've got to go!"

"Me to," said Sirius, " Sorry James, Bye."

Everyone but James and Lucious left the room. (James started pacing again). He walked up to a bit of wall sticking out between the to beds and pulled out a slidding door. "Goodnight" screamed James," your not getting breakfast in bed and you not getting a wake-up call!" James slammed the door shut, the hopped into bed, without changing or taking his glasses off. He fell asleep still fumming about Lucious.

"Gee, I feel sorry for James," said Lizzy as her and the rest of the group walked down the stairs.

"Ya, " they agreed.

"Dad, I think we should go now!" said Lily approaching Matt.

"What? Oh, okay, goodbye everyone!" said Matt happily, waving a beer in his hand.

"That was easy" Lily muttered to Lizzy, "See you."

Lily and Matt left the Potters and walked home as the other guests started to leave also, it wast 1:30 a.m.

When Lily got her diary and wrote about what had happened. Then she got into her p.j.'s and muttered to herslef, as she slipped into bed , "With a week before school starts this coucl be interesting!"
