Eve: Hey Kitkat (I had your name as a stage name when I used to sing)
anyway. Glad you like the fic.

Eve: HOLD IT STARY THINGS!!! I said, 'Glad you like the fic. Not on with the fic!

Cota had given up with trying to go anywhere that week. James had known he was faking it when he said he was in no pain. To prove this James had clapped him on the shoulder and Cota had not been able to suppress a yelp of pain.
"Ah ha!" James yelled triumphantly.
"Ah ha what? You just killed your squire!" Remus protested.
"Nope, I'm fine" Cota retorted through clenched teeth and resisted the urge to fall over.
"Good" James raised his hand to do it again and Cota backed away.
"Fine, you win" Cota mumbled, quickly retreating to his room.
Kira hopped down the stairs a few minutes latter. Her hair was tied back in a gold and magenta scrunchy that had glitter on it, she was hearing a black dress with a magenta belt that had a golden lion on the front, and she had on shinny black shoes that clicked when she walked. James smiled at her, and she continued to click down the stairs with Trinidy.
"Hello Kira" Remus greeted.
Kira turned to look at him, opened her mouth, then gave up and simply waved.
"What do you have planned for today?" James asked.
Kira gave him a 'why do you bother asking me' look. James apologized and Lily came down the stairs.
"You hurt him, didn't you" She accused, casting a look to James.
"He won't admit he's hurt... so I..." James started, glancing over at Remus with a 'save me' look.
"Decided to make sure he was?" Lily filled in.
"How'd you know I did anything" The two-year-old voice inside James had leapt out before he could stop it.
"Cause he's lying down, unmoving and didn't jump up to help me when I was carrying some baby name books" Lily explained.
"So... the whole Order is coming here tonight?" Remus interrupted, receiving a very thankful look from James.
"Yes, I hope I have everything ready" Lily stated, a hand on her forehead.
"What about Kira?" Remus asked.
Kira jumped up and down, she liked the idea of going to Fred and George's house more then the idea of staying here with Neville. She wanted to express this so she jumped toward the fireplace and pointed to the red of her belt. Grinning widely.
"I don't think so, I just finished getting rid of the last little surprise around here" Lily smiled back at her. Lily was worried that once the baby was born Kira might hurt him with one of her tricks. James would protest the tricks were never really supposed to HURT anyone... except Severus. Lily did not care; she did not like the idea of a smoke bomb in the baby carriage. Kira had protested that there was too much padding for a smoke bomb... then had quickly shut up as she received a warning look from Cota. Kira gave Lily a pleading look and Lily still gave her a stern 'no' as an answer.
Kira sighed and went to go practice skating. Remus watched her. "Must be hard," He whispered.
"What?" James asked, waving his hand infront of Remus's face in an effort to bring him back to reality.
"Such a little girl... yet she has an amazing gift that the has to hide... I just... I guess I understand what it feels like" Remus explained.
"Yeah" James smiled and cast a glance over at Lily. Lily was thinking the same thing and smiled back at James. Remus smiled.
"Well, I have learned a spell to help a sore throat, so if you'll excuse me" Remus followed Kira.
When some more of the members of the Order had arrived, Kira was sitting on her puffy chair watching a quiditch match with James and Sirius. They had been too distracted to notice that people had come.
"James" Lily called.
James squirmed around in his seat, he wanted to help Lily, but the best part of the match had just started. "Yes?" He asked, buying time.
"Albus is here, along with Moody," Lily announced.
"Just a sec" James called back, wiggling in his seat and craning his head in an effort to see if he could chance a quick greeting and still see the game.
Kira stood up and hopped into the kitchen to buy James some more time.
"YES!!!" Sirius and James yelled as the Cannons won the series. James quickly gave a 'hush!' look to Sirius and they both strolled into the kitchen, pretending they had been on their way the whole time.
"Cannons win?" Lily asked, grinning.
"Err... yes, actually" James admitted.
Albus Dumbledore sat at the table, watching all this and Moody grumbled to Kira, who either looked dreadfully scared, or was tremendously interested in what he had to say. Remus figured it was the first option and quickly came to the rescue.
"What are you two talking about?" Remus asked.
"I heard Voldemort was trying to get his hands on some kind of weapon. I'm explaining what I'd like us to do about and to it" Moody grunted. "All we need is a few ropes, a knife, and a long, sharp, metal pole... Maybe even some acid"
"Aaaand with that, the child left" Remus stated, picking the terrified Kira up and carrying her out of the room. He set Kira down and deeply apologized.
"Moody... well... Moody's an unsympathetic man who enjoys bringing fear into the hearts of innocent children" Remus stated, loud enough for Moody to hear, and grunt in reply. "Never mind that Kira, just go up to your room, okay?"
Kira nodded and voted up the stairs as if her life depended on it, for all she knew it did. Remus snickered and pointed his wand at the T.V.
"James! Sirius!" He called. "I just thought you should know that the cannons... oop's" He flicked his wand and the T.V. turned off. "Never mind" He called as James and Sirius burst into the room. "Don't you just hate it when that happens? Meanwhile, I think Kira is hiding under her bed, thank Mad Eye for that"
Lily shook her head and Alice walked through the door with Neville.
"Hello" Neville greeted.
"Hello Neville, hi Alice" Lily greeted, taking their bags and scowling at James, who was goofing off with Sirius and Remus instead of answering the door.
Kira silently begged to be sent to Fred and George's house. Her spirits rose when Lily suggested letting Neville sleep in the guest room while they had their meeting. That meant she did not have to watch him. Once everyone arrived, Dumbledore suggested sending Kira to a friend's house. He obviously was assigning them tasks and did not want Kira to hear it. Lily sighed as Kira bounded down the stairs with her bag and began a dramatic speech of how she planned to be a good little girl and that she swore not to blow anything up once she got back. She even promised to stop using smoke bombs around the house. She secretly wanted to save them for Percy, anyway.
"I don't know who Kira would want to stay with" James said in mock puzzlement upon the finishing of the speech.
"...I'd really like to meet these people" Lily sighed.
"You have met them!" Kira announced. "At the reunion"
"Oh" Lily stated, not wanting to cause a scene infront of the order.
Kira read her look and quickly turned to her father. "All the kids want to be in the Gryphindor house and most of them plan on joining the quidditch team" She blurted out, and then turned to Lily. "The mom is really nice and kinda strict, but really nice"
"Alright... you can go but you must send me an owl when you get there and be back in one hour" Lily stated. She sent an owl to the Burrow and everyone else helped themselves to notaries and Lily's fresh baked cookies. James was telling Kira about some of his pranks and suggesting tips to her. Lily gave him a look, hoping that the Weasley's didn't hate them for sending Kira off with some of James's advice. When an owl came and Lily found out the Weasley's had agreed, she quickly snatched Kira away from James and Sirius.
"Behave" She said to Kira, throwing some floopowder into the fireplace.
Kira stepped in and James found it his duty to lean into sight and call out, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"
Kira grinned maliciously and yelled out "The Burrow!"
"James!" Lily gasped, but was too late, Kira was gone. "I swear" She mouthed to him. James simply grinned.
"Think she'll get in trouble?" He mused.
"No, I think her actions will result in her being a head girl and a perfect" Lily replied, her voice soggy and dripping with all the sarcasm it was holding. Almost as much grease as was in Snape's hair.

Eve: Curse you stary things! Ohhh, BTW I'm in the Harry Potter book!
Mike: WHAT!
Eve: Yeppers. My name.
Mike: *fliping through the chapter she just read*.... .... *long pause*.... .... CRISTMAS EVE DOESN'T COUNT!
Eve: I didn't say HOW my name was in the book, I just said it was.
Mike:... Anyway. Today I have rules for surviving a how to survive a horror move. Y'know if you were suddenly sucked into the T.V and had to survive. 1. When it appears that you have killed the monster, never check to see if it's really dead. Instead, call the police and watch that thing with a 44. magnum!
2. Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke. It's not funny.
3. Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
4. Never accept invitations from strangers, especially individuals who inexplicably live in isolated areas and have no contact with society.
5. As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
6. If you're searching for the cause of a noise and find out that it's not just the cat, leave the room immediately if you value your life.
7. If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.
8. No sex, beer or partying! Any of these activities will surely seal your fate.
9. If you find a town which is deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.
10. Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.
11. Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog, the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
12. If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help.
13. Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chain saws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any device made from deceased companions.
14. No matter what, never say "I'll be right back" 'cause you wont.
15. Strive to be the main character, never be in the background.
16. Whoever suggest 'splitting up' is NOT your friend.
17. Stay away from any school function.
Eve: That's not all that funny.
Mike: Shut up it's the best I can do right now.
Eve:... okay...
Mike: Sooo, when is
