~WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP!!!!~
The next morning James woke up to Sirius, leaning over him. "Huh?" James said grogily. Remus was sleeping and Peter was stretching. Sirius then went to wake Remus up. James wasn't in a very energetic mood and being back at the school made him remember how much he had liked sleeping in. James rolled over and went back to sleep, after he rubbed his hand across the familiar inscription they had carved into the side of the bed that was against the wall. It read: No matter what the danger. No matter what the consiquence, no matter how much a scare, your friends will be right there. Always togeather, in mind and body. Always happy, till the end of time. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. There was also a secret compartment that James kept his journals in. He loved this bed.
"Wake up, James" Sirius laughed and hit his hand against the curtain of James's four-poster bed.
James was used to ignoring them in the morning. They had to basicaly set off bombs in order to wake James up back when they attended Hogwarts. The school could be in total chaos, explosions, fire, a flood, snow storm, and James would sleep peacefully.
"Get up, James" Remus yawned as he woke up. He didn't even bother to look and see if James was asleep, he just knew that he would be.
"WAKE UP!!" Sirius yelled as he pulled back the curtain.
James threw his pillow and Sirius dodged. He still remembered how many times James had succeded in hitting him in the face. James had good aim, even when sleeping.
"Nice try" Sirius sneered.
"Go away" James groaned.
Sirius looked over at Remus who was already packing togeather a little creation they called the 'TidalAwake' Remus loaded it and tossed it to Sirius, he lighted it and threw it right next to James. The 'TidalAwake' exploded into a wave of water, it splashed over James's face and it wouldn't stop untill the person woke up. They tweeked it sometimes so that it lasted an hour. James immediately woke up and emerged from behind the curtain, soaking wet. James coughed and used his hands to wipe the water away from his eyes.
"Morning" Sirius greeted him with a smile.
James tackled Sirius, who liked fighting and fought back in an all out war. After a few minutes Sirius had James in a head lock and James's arms were flailing around wildly untill he managed to get a hold of Sirius's shirt and pulled himself free.Remus stood between the two and provoked the idea of eating and wageing a war against Severus, instead of each other. James quickly changed and was putting on his shoes as Peter left to go see if everyone else was ready.
Cota woke up at the same time as Oweiry, they didn't have as fun a morning as James, Sirius, Remus and Peter. They just got up, got dressed and headed out the door. They were wearing different colored versions of what they wore yesterday, only with out the tie and a normal cloak instead of a dress cloak. They headed out the door and saw Lilly dressed in a blue dress with a blue belt and a silver Gryphon. She had on black sandals and her bright red hair was tied back loosly with a silver clip. She had on a neacklace that Kira made her, it was made of blue glass beads. That was why she had packed the blue dress, so she could show Kira that she loved the neacklace. Kira was awake and wearing a simple, red, sun dress, with a pink cape like thing that tied infront of her, and draped over her shoulders. It only came down to her elbows and it had sleeves. It was like a mini cloak. The mini cloak tied with a silver heart. Then Lilly tied a big, pink bow around Kira's waist and the thin ribbons flowed down to her ankles. She had two red clips in her hair and the pink arm coverings that Lilly was redoing so they wouldn't slip down, she was also adding little sparkles and red ribbon to it so they looked like different arm coverings. James was wearing blue, Sirius was wearing fiery red, Remus was wearing silver, and Peter was wearing brown. Cota was wearing black/silver and Oweiry was wearing dark green. Kira sat in a chair, she was waiting for Fred and George to wake up.
James came down the stairs still soaking wet, but his hair looked nice...for once.
"Wow, James, you finaly found a way to control your hair" Lilly giggled.
"Yeah, it's called a rude awakening" James yawned.
"G'morning, Daddy" Kira greeted with a smile.
"Good Morning, Kira" James smiled, suddenly more awake.
Lilly and Kira headed out through the painting. Kira saw Fred and George and raced to catch up with them. James followed, still all wet. The 'TidalAwake' was evil, no matter how hard you tired to get the water off, it stayed for half an hour. By the time they reached the banquet hall James, was somewhat dry. Kira was listening to George explain something about 'the unigue style of breakfast chaos', she didn't know what a choas was, but they made it sound fun.
"Then when the oatmeal is a nice green color, it's a good idea to back away, cause the puss should be following it" George was explaining as he held up a vial, containing green powder.
"Zitamuss Powder" Fred grinned evilly as he stared at the vial.
Kira just nodded and they continued down the hall. They came to the banquet hall and found an unoccupied table. Fred and George ran from table to table planying their little 'surprises' at each one. Kira helped to, they said she looked innocent and no one would guess that she'd be the one to do such a thing. Then they went and sat at their table as people started to arive. Kira was still planting her part of the prank, little flowers that gave off an amusing little surprise.
James was disapointed that they hadn't been able to set up a big breakfast prank. They had been so busy planning how to get even with Severus, that they had completely forgotten about daily pranks. They sat at their table as Kira came around. She hopped up onto the table an set the flower in the middle, it was big. James smiled at her.
"That's a pretty flower Kira" He smiled.
"I'm glad you think so" Kira replied, though James caught a tinny warning in her voice.
Kira smiled, her eyes seemed to say 'you may find breakfast a bit exciting' James saw this and shook it off.
"Hey, Kira!" Fred shouted, calling her over to their table. Kira trotted over to the table and sat down.
They began a normal conversation and awaited food. Kira had her raccoon, it was tied to her belt/bow. It always reminded her of how much Irving had cared, and how much James loved her. It made her feel safe. Some of the people had left early because of jobs and because they were worried about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named attacking the trains if too many people got on them at one time. Bill stroled in and waved to Fred and George.
"Hey, Bill" Fred waved back.
"Bill?" Kira asked.
"You don't get names do you?" George asked her.
Kira didn't know much about names. Names were something your master gave you. It was like a designation number, only most people found it easier to remember. She didn't know what was a name and what was an object. She figured Percy must be a pet or something. Pets also had names, this confused Kira, did this mean she was a pet. Cota had a name for her raccoon, so was she a toy? Percy could be anything. Muggles named their streets, cars, buildings, shoes, clothes, houses, hair cuts, food. Everything had a name, so how do you know what something is, just by hearing it's name. Kira decided to just shrug and continue waiting for food. At long last, and after a short speech from Minerva McGonagall, the food came. Kira was still amazed by how it seemed to grow right out of the plate. Fred and George grabbed food as quickly as possible and began eating it like mad. Kira ate quickly too. No one else ate untill James and Sirius did. Fred, George and Kira, finished their meal and then George, with an evil grin, whispered "Satus."
The first person to notice the color change in the oatmeal gasped in alarm; More gasps followed. The benches turned sticky, so Fred, George and Kira sat on the tables. The puss started, it squirted out of someone's oatmeal. Kira heard the high pitched sound of a little girl's scream.
"Geeze, will Percy, stop already, my eardrums are shaking" George laughed.
"A Percy sounds like a girl" Kura stated, her vioce was as if she was recording data.
Fred and George burst out laughing and fell to to floor, leaving Kira up on the table alone. Screams of horror and disgust echoed through the great hall untill it was one giant chourus of screams. Then the flowers took action, they bent upward and let out sparks that felt as cold at ice. People were jumping as the cold ice ran down their backs.
James had moved away from the table the moment he heard the first gasp. He pulled Lilly up, Sirius, Remus and Peter followed quickly as everyone else got stuck to their chairs. They stared in amazement at the chaos unfolding around them, they could have done better, easily, but they hadn't done anything. James looked over at Cota, who thought this was James's idea of getting back at him for the snow prank and was fighting the plant as if it were an anaconda. James heard soft laughter inside his head. It was a little girl's laugh and it sounded happy, even though it was very faint. He turned his head toward Kira. She was sitting on the table, red puffs of smoke billowing out around her, sparks shooting, white cream flying everywhere. And Kira sat between it, nothing hit her. She was smiling, and her eyes were smiling to. When she blinked, the laughter in James's head would stop momentarily, James smiled, an big, open mouted, ear to ear, smile of joy, happiness, pride and love. He started laughing and walked over to his little girl.
"Quite a bit of chaos going on here" James mused.
"Yes, it is strange" Kira smiled back.
James laughed and hugged his daughter.
"Let's get out of here before people regain enough sense to blame someone" James suggested.
Kira nodded and hopped down. Togeather they made their way out of the banquet hall, followed closly by Lilly, Sirius, Remus and Peter. When they were out side, James exploded into laughter.
"It was definatly the work of amatures, but pretty good, except they were going for everyone and not sparing friends of family" Sirius stated, analyzing the prank.
"Yes, it needs a lot of work. But it's a start. And gutsy at that" Remus agreed.
"Guys, I'd like to intoduce you to my daughter, and one of the pranksters that pulled that little scene back there" James grinned, holding Kira.
"I'm impresed, and she is only 2?" Remus grinned.
"We have someone to carry out our legacy now" Sirius laughed.
They were discussing this when Minerva stormed out of the castle.
"Either your work has become lazy, or that wasn't you" She barked at the well know pranksters standing before her.
"That wasn't us this time" James protested.
"I'm insulted, we were far better then that" Sirius scowled.
"Agreed, ours would have been biger, better and the Gryphindors wouldn't have fallen victom to it...much" Remus declaired.
"We would have made it so something explosed, everything would have covered quickly so no one would escape. Besides all that stuff will disintagrate, ours needed help in cleaning it's self up" Peter added.
Minerva growled and stormed back into the castle to find someone else to blame.
"Was it realy that bad, daddy?" Kira asked, she looked up at her father.
Her hands held his cloak tightly and her eyes seemed ready to cry.
"No, no baby. It was good, we are just profesionals" James explained.
Kira looked at him.
"Proffesional whats?" She asked.
They hadn't thought about that.
"Umm, profesional..." James started.
"Trouble makers, pranksters, juvenile delinquents, jokers, chaos generators, and all around pains in my side?" Dumbledore suggested with a laugh.
"That sounds right" Remus stated. Dumbledore smiled down at Kira as Fred ran up. He grabbed Kira's hand, thinking she was being blamed. Then took off running.
"Come on Kira, they can't punish what they can't catch" Fred informed her, his tone was crazy and he ran like a maniac.
"What's a catch?" Kira asked.
He hauled Kira off as quick as possible. James snickered and looked over at Lilly.
"Now that she knows the basic idea..." He smiled a pleading smile.
"No" Lilly protested.
Dumbledor openly showed his amusement and leaned against the wall.
"But she is obviously interested in learning it...why not learn from the masters. Don't want her getting hurt because she does something wrong or messes up do you?" James contined.
"I'm not listening to you" Lilly sang.
"Come on love, do you want her to learn the wrong tecnique and posibly mess up?" James pleeded.
Lilly turned her back, Sirius and Remus gave James a 'you have to' look. 'Alright, I didn't want to have to go there but...' James though to himself.
"I need someone to carry out my legacy. I don't want to force my child into learning this stuff, and Kira already likes it. I guess I just wanted someone to share all I learned with, a daughter who can come back from school and tell me about what she did. And I woun't just sit there going uh hu, you're a perfect? That..umm...great.. But instead I'll be able to say Whoo you got 'em good" James stated in as sad a voice he could, his eyes watering up.
Lilly sighed and turned around.
"You really do love that little girl...alright, BUT, you must let her have time with her friends, not just with you thinking of new ways to make things explode. And she must keep up good grades when she is a school, and she isn't allowed to try stuff out on me" Lilly explained.
Cota made a very loud clearing his throat noise.
"Or Cota" Lilly added.
Dumbledor let out a clearing his throut niose, but James was to quick and said "Deal!" James had a big grin, his eyes flashed and he looked about ready to explode with happiness. James looked to Sirius, Remus, and Peter. They were all smiling and watching Kira with great expectations. Kira was trying to learn how to make a catapilar eat EVERYTHING in sight.
"Well, I am a bit mad. You see, no one got to try the Orange puffs" Dumbledore stated.
"Yes, you'll have to catch who ever did that" Remus grinned.
Dumbledore laughed. "It was harmless enough and everything already disapeared so I'll let this one slide" Dumbledor smiled, his eyes twinkled and he retreated back to the school. "Oh, and I'm looking forward to watching the match later"
James grinned, he had been waiting for the match sense he woke up... okay mabey a little after he woke up...but he still was deaply anticipating the match. The quiditch match against the Slytherins!
The next morning James woke up to Sirius, leaning over him. "Huh?" James said grogily. Remus was sleeping and Peter was stretching. Sirius then went to wake Remus up. James wasn't in a very energetic mood and being back at the school made him remember how much he had liked sleeping in.
