*****

May 9th 11:26 am.

James sits next to the examination table. His eyes are set on the door and he reaches up to take his scared little daughter's hand. The door is locked, they're trapped. Strange instruments are scattered around the room on different metal tables. Kira stares keenly at the sharp, knife looking thing. It glistens in the light and its edge seems razor sharp. James looks around the room. He sees metal containers, locked cabinets, lights, scalpels, tweezers, a biohazard box, stethoscopes, band-aids, gauze wraps, charts, swabs, bottles of alcohol and peroxide, a sink, a reflex hammer- The doorknob turns. Kira tenses and her eyes grow big with doom. A man opens the door and steps in; he is wearing a white lab coat. Kira shivers and James stands up. The man in the lab coat smiles and walks forward.

"Hello" He greets. "I'm Doctor Simen"

'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!' Kira's mind races.

James shakes the doctor's hand, remembering how this all came to pass.

(Flash back)

"I think one of my friends should be incharge of Kira, should something happen to us" Lily stated. One rule to being in the order with kids, was that you had to have a godparent or legal guardian, should something happen to you.

What!?" James gasped, dropping his spoon and staring in utter shock at his wife.

"This kid?" Sirius asked, pointing to Kira who was trying to figure out the best was to launch a Cheerio across the table, James had just launched one at her.

"Yes, she needs a female influence should I not be there" Lily stated. "Someone she can write to and hang out with"

"A friend?" Sirius asked.

"Well, that's half of what being a godparent is" Lily nodded.

"Lily" James purred, hands out as Kira launched the Cheerio at him. "This girls a marauder in training, she needs to have a marauder godparent"

"Yes, you can't send one of our own off to live with someone who isn't ready to train her to her full potential" Sirius agreed, sending a Cheerio sailing at both James and Kira. (He used two spoons and two Cheerios. Oh and he stayed the night because James had been around Lily's friends for hours and really needed his best friend with him to help him regain 'sanity')

"You protect your own?" Lily asked, understanding yet wanting see what they'd come up with next.

"Exactly" James and Sirius stated, the Cheerio war having ended with Sirius as the winner.

"Besides, Lily, I know you'd take it as a personal offense if you daughter grew up to be a weak little girl who can't stand up for herself" Sirius added.

"Dumbledore will have my head for this... but alright, I agreed to let you teach her, I didn't know you had initiated her into the club" Lily sighed.

"Club? We SHOULD start a club" Sirius smiled. "Let's have a marauder's handbook"

"Kira, get ready to go okay" Lily said.

"Where is she going? It's Monday. No work, no dance, or art class" James stated, having planned to take her up on his broom with him. Kira had never flown on the broom before. Or flown at all for that matter.

"Have you noticed that our daughter's been rubbing her throat and not talking all morning?" Lily asked.

James looked over at Kira, along with Sirius and Lily. Kira slipped under the table, not at all liking being stared at.

"When did that start?" James asked. Feeling guilty for not noticing.

"I noticed it when she woke up. Besides, we need to get her checked by a doctor anyway" Lily stated as Kira retreated to her room.

"Oh, look at the time" Sirius started.

"Bailer!" James accused.

"How did you know I was going to ask James to take Kira?" Lily asked Sirius, eyeing him suspicously.

"You had that 'rock, paper, scissors' look in your eyes" Sirius stated grinning.

"I'll take her, no problem" James said.

"And I'll-" Sirius started.

"Go with me?" James filled in.

"Ya see, I thought we were on the same wavelength, but I guess not" Sirius stated with a look of mock regret.

"And as for you" Lily looked to Sirius. "I made an appointment for you to get your bike fixed for free"

"Wow" Sirius stated, utter surprise filling his voice. "But I keep telling ya, it don't need fixin"

"Yes, well if you insist on having my daughter on it, it had better be safe" Lily stood up, pausing to put her hand on Sirius's shoulder and look down at him, a smile on her face. "Besides, I'm not about to let you get yourself hurt, Sirius"

"A'right, I'll go to the appointment" Sirius caved. James and Lily treated him like a member of their family, he couldn't resist their good intentions.

"Alright, settled. Should we meet somewhere for lunch" Lily asked.

"Oh, I know where we can go" Sirius grinned, looking at James.

"They're going to start spitting in your food" James protested.

"A'right, where do you want to go?" Sirius asked.

"There is a nice place on thirty second and Bellsmont" Lily interrupted. "You can annoy the staff and the food is incredible"

"Agreed" Sirius and James said in unison.

So it was to be. Lily was going to a class, Sirius was going to go get his bike fixed, and James was going to take Kira to the doctors.

(End flash back)

Doctor Simen looks to Kira. "And you must be Kira, you're a small little girl" He turns to James. "She's... four, correct?"

James hesitates, she's kinda four and 'no she was created in a lab, she's one,' wouldn't sound too good. "Err, yes" James says.

Simen smiles an extremely wide smile at Kira, who gulps. He puts his hand on her head and rubs vigorously. "You're a cute little thing" He says, stepping out of the way as she tries to kick him. James gives her an encouraging smile... for almost succeeding in kicking the doctor. Simen grabs his stethoscope and puts in to Kira's heart.

"Hmmmm..." He pauses. "Hm?" He pauses again. "Interesting...."

"Is something wrong?" James asks, his voice a whisper full of dread.

"Only if thudthudthudthudthudthudthudthudthudTHUDTHUDTHUDTHUD! Is normal for this child" Doctor Simen answers with a laugh.

Kira's eyes are still quite wide and she squirms out of his reach. Retreating towards her father.

"No need to be afraid" Simen smiles. He uses his hammer to test her reflexes. "Oh my!" He exclaims.

"What?! What's wrong?!" James demands, ready to beat the tar out of the doctor lest he hurt his little daughter.

"She's got extremely quick reflexes for a child her age. I... I don't think I've seen a child this fast as of yet. It's not amazingly fast, but faster then any other," Simens explains tapping Kira's knee again for James to see. James sighs in relief and pats Kira on the shoulder. The doctor checks Kira's ears, throat, height, and weight. Of course, the last two aren't normal, but she seems healthy enough, good coloring, healthy skin, clear eyes, energetic attitude, and quick reflexes. "She may be getting a sore throat" Doctor Simen states with a laugh as he unlocks a cabinet.

Kira gives him a 'and that means?' look. James is the one to say something though, reading Kira's look.

"What would you recommend for it?" He asks, crossing his arms. They don't use magic for every sickness, No, they usually used Muggle treatments, so the body isn't too overwhelmed by magical treatments. For everyday illnesses, they used everyday things that Muggles would.

The doctor turned around with two boxes. One box he reached into and took out a brown paper bag. He handed the bad to James and then reached into the other box.

"Oh" He said. "It'll come no matter what you do, she probably won't be able to speak for a while" He looked to Kira who hadn't said anything the entire visit. "Not that I think there will be much of a problem with that"

He turned his back to them and rustled around in the box. Kira looked over at James who was eyeing the somewhat open door and then went to reading the label on the bag. It said it cost twelve silver sickles. He reached in his pocket and got out the money.

"There is a simple treatment" The doctor said suddenly. "Only one small-" He turned around, a surgery mask covered the bottom half of his face, there was a metal plate of needles covered in plastic and little test tubes of liquid in his left hand and he held a syringe in his right hand. "Injection!" He finished, squirting some of the liquid out. This was to be his best effort in making the little girl speak... it worked.

Kira let out a blood-curdling shriek and kicked the plate out of his hand as she hurled herself off the table and made a mad dash for the door. She swung it open with out stopping and dashed into the waiting room. James slammed the money on the counter and ran after Kira, not mad, but laughing his head off.

"I was just kidding!" The doctor exclaimed, staring after them with a very confused and alarmed look on his face.

James was to busy laughing to notice, he just continued running after Kira who was making a mad dash for home. They ran out the door, skidded past the fountain, leapt over the bench, and sprinted down the street, Kira still terrified. James finally caught up her as she stopped to catch her breath about half a mile from the doctor's office.

"Good kick" James stated simply. "You nailed the tray"

Kira cast him a sideways glance and dropped to the ground, exhausted and now her throat hurt worse. James dropped next to her.

"I don't think I've sprinted that far since I was at Hogwarts" James panted. "We all thought that we were supposed to plant a bomb in the toilet... however, misunderstanding the plan, we all put bombs in different toilets on every floor. Man! When we saw all that water rushing towards us" James shook his head. He looked at his watch, they had to meet Sirius and Lily in half an hour. James rested for five more minutes, then stood up. He helped Kira up and they set out on the hovablades. Whooshing around down the street, passing people right and left. James picked up speed as Kira pulled ahead, crouching low, and leaning forward. They look a left turn and were heading down hill, faster and faster they went. James smiled widely as the feeling of being on his broom rushed over him. Faster still they went. Kira doing her best to keep from falling over as she went faster then she had ever gone before.

Lily looked up from her watch. Sirius was casually leaning in his chair and staring down the street.

"You said the doctor's office was across town?" Sirius asked.

"Yes. So James will probably be late" Lily stated.

"James? Nah, he's never-" Sirius stopped as two figures came hurling around the corner, skidding out of control.

James saw it, they had gone too fast, and he could tell where they would land. There was no stopping it. They were sideways and still skidding, he looked ahead and saw the pile of cardboard boxes that they were going to hit. Sirius saw it to. He leapt up from the table, over the railing, and charged toward the cardboard boxes. James grabbed Kira, lifting her off the ground, and turned around so he was going backwards, that way he'd be the one hitting the boxes, not her. He felt someone grab his arm and then fell backwards onto the boxes. Sirius was right next to him and Kira was on top of him.

"Nice landing, James" Sirius mocked, rolling sideways and pushing himself to his feet.

"Nice catch, Sirius" James laughed, remembering the time he had leapt from his broom, grasping the snitch only moments before the game ended. He had then, of 'course, began falling. However, his best friend, had been there to catch him. Sirius always had his back, if he hadn't well, James knew he would have died his first year on the team. Probably even before that were it not for Sirius. But that's how they were, James would have done anything for his friends.

James stood up as Lily ran over.

"I got her, she's safe" James exclaimed, seeing the look on Lily's face.

"Let's do that AGAIN!" Kira cheered, dizzy.

"See, she's fine" Sirius stated.

"Darling, I told you to take her to a doctor, not make her need a doctor" Lily stated, checking Kira for an injury.

"Well, the good news is I think you just helped out the recycling crew by doing the box crunching for them. And, I think no one saw that" Sirius stated, looking around.

"Good, forget my spine, worry about people seeing" James groaned patting his dizzy daughter on the head.

"Well" Sirius whispered, leaning close to James. "I saw Dumbledore earlier and I'm just thinking what he would have said if he had seen that"

"Probably 'there he goes again' " James said, smiling a really fake smile and trying to look innocent.

"I'm sure" Lily rolled her eyes and escorted Kira to the table. She pushed James and he lost balance, having not taken his blades off. Sirius grabbede him and they both ended up in the boxes.

"Hey James" Sirius called. James opened his eyes, but couldn't see Sirius, all he could see were the boxes. "I'm boxed in" Sirius laughed.

"Well I'm card bored" James retorted, climbing to his feet and checking to make sure there wasn't anyone watching them.

"How is your spine" Sirius grinned, coming into view again.

"Come of it" James laughed, praying Sirius felt no need to inform the whole Order of this adventure.

"Can't wait to hear what Moody says about that" Sirius smiled, reading James's look.

"Don't, you, dare" James hissed after him.

"You see Kira, you have to mature physicaly after a while, but you can be imature mentaly forever" She said just loud enough for James and Sirius to hear.

"Yeah James, act your age" Sirius laughed.

"I don't know how to act my age, I've never been my age before" *****

Eve:... umm.... uh.... nope, not gonna sing. But here is Sirius, with some tips for eating at Burger King.

Sirius: Yep, now try and get a friend with you on this one. I use James. Go with your bestfriend, sit on opposite ends of the restaurant and carry on a conversation. Tell people to move if they get in your way, as your friend to throw you a fry.

Eve: Does that work?

Sirius: Trust me. Now, ask for breakfast at noon. When they say that breakfast is over, fall to the floor, curl in the fetal position and cry like a baby. Don't be afraid to. I have Peter do this one.

Eve: Interesting.

Sirius: If you really want to mess with a muggle's mind, ride through the drive-thru on a horse.

Eve: That would do it.

Sirius: If you haven't been there before, Pretend you are gay and flirt with the employees. Just watch them squirm.

Eve: That wouldn't work for me.

Sirius: I know, but watching Remus do it is hillarious.

Eve: What else?

Sirius: Skizophrenia. Need I say more??

Eve: Nope, Reviewers Review.
