They climbed aboard the Hogwarts Express and found an empty compartment. James, Sirius, and their friends Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew sat with them. They talked about all sorts of things, what they were going to do over the summer, who they thought the Head Boy and Head Girl were going to be (Lily and Remus were their guesses), and everything else they could think of.
The train finally pulled into The Kings Cross Train Station in London. James' and Amy's parents were waiting for them outside platform 9 ¾, the magical platform that only magical people could get through.
"Amy, James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, and you must be Lily!" Mrs. Potter exclaimed as she turned to each person and gave them a one-armed hug.
"Yes ma'am" Lily replied.
"Well, welcome back everybody" Mr. Potter said.
"We'll see you later this summer boys" Mrs. Potter said to Remus and Peter, who were heading off to their families. They waved in response.
"Everyone in the car!" Mr. Potter told everybody who was still there. Amy, James, Sirius, and Lily followed Mr. and Mrs. Potter to their car. They piled into the back of a ministry car and it zoomed off to the Potter's house.
They passed through several towns before they reached the Potter mansion.
"We're home!" Amy exclaimed as she jumped out of the car, dragging Lily behind her. Amy wrenched open the front door, ran through several small rooms, a huge living area, and into the kitchen.
"Hey Jinx!" she said brightly to the small house elf in the kitchen.
"What would the young misses like to eat?" the tiny house elf asked politely.
"Do you have any of your famous chocolate-chip cookies?" Amy asked the elf nodded and hurried off.
"I made them just for your return Miss Amy" Jinx told Amy excitedly and handed Amy a tray of cookies.
"Thanks Jinx! Lily you have to try these cookies!" Amy said, starting to cram cookies in her mouth.
"Yum!" Lily said as she took a bite of a cookie.
"I should have known it" said a voice from the doorway. Sirius was leaning against the door frame. "Potter, you are always the first person in the kitchens."
"Only second to you Black" Amy said playfully "Want a cookie?" she added, mouth full again. Sirius rushed forward and grabbed a cookie of the plate.
"Since these two pigs are stuffing their faces, let me show you around the house." James said holding out his arm. Lily giggled playfully and took James arm.
"Ok," Lily said dropping James arm as soon as they were out of the kitchen. "No physical contact at all.
James looked put-out, but said, "I'll show you where you will be staying." He led her through the living room, the smaller rooms, up a staircase, through a door, up another staircase, and down a hallway. Lily tried to remember which way to go, but it was like trying to remember what she ate for breakfast every day the week before. They went up more staircases and through a couple more doors until James stopped in front of a door that was different colors.
Lily stepped in the room and gasped. It was her dream room.
James noticed her surprise and said, "It becomes whatever you want it to look like. Watch." he pulled Lily out of her dream room and stepped inside. It went from beautiful clouds and flowers and turned into a navy blue room with Quidditch posters littering the walls.
"Wow" Lily breathed as James stepped out and she stepped in.
Amy came up a few minutes later with Sirius and said, "Wow, I like what you have done with the place." as she sat down on the light pink sofa. Lily walked over to the window and saw a beautiful lake and a wonderful garden.
"Let's go outside." she suggested.
"Yeah! We can play Quidditch!" James and Sirius yelled in unison.
"Not exactly what I had in mind." Lily said, frowning.
"Let's ice skate!" Amy exclaimed.
"In the summer?" Sirius asked, obviously confused.
"Yeah, all we have to do is freeze the lake over and conjure up some skates" Amy exclaimed.
"But," Lily protested, "We aren't allowed to do magic outside of school!"
"Ah ha! That is where you are wrong!" James said. "All of our property, inside or outside, is protected by magic that won't let anyone know that and magic is being preformed."
"Wow," Lily breathed.
"Let's go!" Sirius exclaimed, rushing out of the room, the rest following him.
Amy conjured up some skates. Once they all had their skated on, they skated for over two hours.
Then Lily asked, "Where are your parents?"
Amy and James replied at the same time. "Working."
"Do they work all the time?" she inquired.
"Yep" the replied in unison again.
"Cool I wish my parents were gone all the time!" Sirius exclaimed. They all laughed.
After a while, they went inside, tracking puddles of water with them.
