Peter decided to take a breather out side. He walked down the steps and into the center of the front field. He breathed in a deep breath, held it in, then let it out; he turned back towards the school and watched the magical little shooting stars that Dedalus Diggle made. He heard a strange noise and turned around. Standing there was Severus and his three friends. Peter's pupil's shrank as a smirk appeared on Severus's face. Peter was out numbered four to one. He gulped as the four attackers raised their wands.
One of the four knocked Peter down and Severus found it his duty to kick dirt in his face. They were all fully prepared to attack; among them was a young man by the name of Mike. He had just recently joined the group. Mike wasn't a Slytherin, but he hated Peter with every fiber of his being.
"Looks like you'll be spending the evening in the hospital," Severus threatened Peter.
Mike prepared to attack, and then stopped. "Are you cowering?" he asked, disgusted.
Peter whimpered to himself and curled up into a fetal position.
"At least TAKE it like a man!" Mike barked. This mockery of a human being was wasting his time. "What are you? Man or mouse?"
There was a flash of light and when it ended, Peter saw James, Sirius, and Remus standing around him, wands raised, ready for a battle!
"Rat, actually," James smirked.
"Well, if it isn't the looser brigade," One of Severus's friends sneered.
James helped Peter up and they all stood ready to attack.
"You basterds finally showed up," Yazu (One of Severus's friends) Hissed.
They all stood locked in combat stance, ready for either side to make a move. A fight was about to breakout when Professor McGonagall stepped between the two groups.
"If you must fight, I think you can find some other way!" She scolded them.
Both teams looked at each other with hatred blazing in their eyes. They made it very clear that they weren't backing down.
"This evening will NOT be ruined by you all acting like children!" McGonagall snapped. "Speaking of children. James, think of that little girl you brought! Do you really want her to have to watch her father dueling it out with an ex student from the same school as you?" She whispered/snapped at James.
There was a REALLY long pause,"...Well, it's up to us to be the mature ones," James grumbled after a few minutes.
Remus, Sirius, and Peter, slowly dropped their stances and headed up the stairs. The party continued as normal from then on. James went over to Lilly as the dancing started. They made the perfect match for each other, Lilly had red hair, it came about every few generations in her family, and she had bright, dazzling, green eyes that were usually a big conversation starter. She got lots of complements about her eyes and everyone knew her by them.
James walked over to Lilly and pretended to be seeing her for the first time.
"Wow, fancy meeting a beautiful woman such as yourself here!"
Lilly smiled, he always new what to say. "And yourself sir. Such a surprise to run into such a charming gentleman?" Lilly teased, deciding to go along with it.
"The stars led me to you, they shine only from your eyes," James said smoothly and kissed her hand.
"You're such a smooth talker, James," Kathy, one of Lilly's friends, laughed.
James smiled, his charming smile, his eyes seemed to see only her, everything else had just disappeared. "Will you dance with me? My heart skips a beat just holding your hand. Think how my spirit would soar if I could see how a goddess dances," James extended his hand and bowed.
Lilly took his hand, a bright smile on her face. The two walked hand in hand to the dance floor, Sirius and Remus pause to watch. They knew that James loved Lilly more then anything. They couldn't help but smile when they thought of how happy a family they will be when their son is born. Joy, Love, and Hope.
((((((/))))))
Meanwhile, Kira, Fred, and George continue their search for the elusive Percy.
"So, Kira, that woman that went off to go find those jerk's parents. She's your mum right?" George asked.
"Yes," Kira answered proudly.
"So where is your dad?" George questioned.
Kira looked around; she saw James and Lilly on the dance floor. Kira's eyes lit up upon seeing them, they made her feel safe, their smiles made her happy. "There's my daddy," She cheered proudly and pointed at James.
James looked over and waved to Kira, she smiled and waved back. Fred and George waved too, though they really weren't sure why, and tapped Kira on the shoulder that they should continue the Percy hunt. James nodded for Kira to go ahead, and Kira waved goodbye.
"Ah ha! A Percy spotted!" Fred called out after a while.
Kira looked to where he was pointing and saw a taller boy; he had bright red hair and was smoothing out his cloak. Fred put his pointer finger up to his lips.
"Shhhhh," He whispered.
Kira nodded and George crouched low; they snuck around behind Percy. Fred and George snuck up right behind him.
"RRAAAARRRGGGGG!!!!!!" They yelled and Percy jumped about four feet into the air.
He landed and scowled at them. When he saw Kira, he stopped, he didn't recognize her from the neighborhood, and none of the parents he had met looked like her. She had very light blond hair, big, grey, shining eyes, soft pink lips, she was beautiful. He stared at her, wondering who her parents were.
"Hey Percy, we need ya to help us w'somethin," George stated.
Percy looked at George, "Well, my younger brother, you need my help more then you know. What is it that you need my help in at this particular moment?" Percy asked concededly.
George turned around and rolled his eyes, Kira copied him.
"Well, Percy, we just knew you liked libraries, so we were wondering if you could take us to the library here," Fred explained.
Percy looked overjoyed that they wanted to find the library. Then he put on a look of regret, covered by the will to do what was right. "I'm sorry, but that isn't allowed. We are supposed to stay here," Percy told them.
"Yeah, yeah, I don't care what we are SUPPOSED to do," George stated as if it were obvious and obeying the ruled was unspeakable.
Fred and George continued trying to convince the Percy to take them to the library and Kira copied their hand motions, she'd never been around kids before and wanted to know how to act, she didn't even realize she was mimicking their movement. It was a nervous habit, she did it when she was scared or when she was nervous or happy, whenever she was trying to express an emotion. She had never been shown how to react so she mimicked. When they decided that the Percy was to into being perfect they left. They would just have to find the library on their own.
"Stay out of trouble!" Percy called after them.
"Sure, uh huh, thanks Perfecty," Fred mumbled.
"Perfecty," Kira giggled.
They were going to find Bill when the boys that attacked Kira came back, and there were four this time. Fred, George, and Kira decided to make a run for it. They ran through a door and into a hallway. The continued running and went down some stairs, having to jump over one because it disappeared when George stepped on it. They ran until they didn't hear the other boys anymore. Kira saw a person moving in one of the paintings.
"Excuse me," Kira asked.
The painting man turned and looked at them.
"I do say, what is it you are doing up so late?" Painting person asked.
"We are looking for the library, do you know where that is?" Kira asked.
Eventually they found their way to the library because the painting decided they were too small to be robbers and knew the headmaster wouldn't like it if he just let them wonder around when they seemed so young. When they got to the library, George opened the door and was followed by Fred. Kira was nervous, what if they found out what her name meant? She was sure that it would arouse many questions.
She shook her head and entered the library. They all searched the shelves looking for a book called 'White Mat with a Red Dot' by Emma Rowel. The man in the painting said they would find what they were looking for in that book. Kira wanted to find it first so she could hide it, she searched wildly, but she had a very hard time reading. She concentrated on the flags that were on the book covers. She looked through many isles of books, but to her horror, Fred found it first.
"Yeah, I think this is it!" He yelled out in triumph.
Fred ran to a table and opened the book. "A, B, C, D, E, F..." He said while looking at the letters in each chapter.
"G" George chimed in with a grin.
Kira listened, this song intrigued her, they both knew the words, and apparently, it helped them to look through the book. "What song is that?" Kira asked.
They both looked at her. "That's right; I forgot how young you were. That's the alfobet" George stated, a wide grin on his face.
"Alphabet," Fred corrected.
"Al-Fah-Bet?" Kira asked; she had never heard of it before.
"Yeah, it's the order that letters come in," George explained. "Not sure why, though."
"H, I, J, K," Fred called out. "Here we go."
He scanned the page then looked over at Kira.
"Do you know how to spell your name?" he asked.
Kira looked at the ground. She didn't know how to spell her name. "No" Her sweet voice admitted.
"Oh..." George said and sat down in defeat.
Kira saw the look of disappointment on their faces, she felt a strange feeling. She felt like something she did was wrong and that she should fix it. She didn't know what the feeling was, but she didn't like it at all. Kira looked away, ashamed that she had let them down, when they had been so excited about this. She saw her bag and opened it, she saw a bit of the wrapping paper Cota had used on her present. There was a name on it.
She looked over at the page Fred was on, and then looked back at the name on the wrapping paper. They started with the same letter. She memorized the name's appearance and hopped up onto a chair, actually, she climbed up onto it, and Fred helped her the rest of the way. Kira looked at the long list until she saw one that matched the one on the paper.
"Here it is," she smiled.
They cheered and George rushed over to see.
"K. I. R. A," Fred informed Kira.
"K. I. R. A," Kira repeated.
"K.I.R.A.M.E.K.U," George said and pointed to a word that was a bit farther down the list.
"It says....tuh ooo...ssspuh arrr kuh lll," Fred told them as he tried to sound it out.
"To sparkle?" George pondered; he looked over at Kira. "Well, your eyes do sparkle" he smiled. Kira was beginning to like them.
"Yeah, I'll never forget your eyes, man; I've never seen anything like 'em. Hey, I got an idea. Let's be friends," Fred stated quite bluntly and extended his hand.
"Yeah, let's be friends," George grinned and put his hand on top of Fred's. Kira smiled, she copied them and put her hand on top of George's hand.
They put the book back, deciding it was way too hard to read and left the library. They went back down the main hall, and back to the party. Kira was glowing, her nickname didn't mean killer; it meant to sparkle. She had a family, a home, and friends.
