Eve: Okay, sorry for the wait, but here is a long chapter for you.

Mike: We were having a debate about the ending, the debate rages on so Eve is writing more chapters so we can decide later.

Eve: Thanks, now they know I have absolutely not planning and organization skills. On with the Fic!

"Where are we going, Mommy?" Kira asked as Lily led the way down the street and passed the entrance to the Hotel.

"We're going shopping" Lily replied.

Kira nodded and prepared to turn into Lily's favorite clothing store, but they passed it. Kira trotted along next to Lily and started to walk into the grocery store, but once again, Lily passed it. Kira blinked then quickly followed Lily. The two girls hurried down the street and then Lily made a turn into a store Kira had never been to before. And that was where Dumbledore found them.

"What is it?" Kira asked, staring down at the object Lily had turned her attention to.

"It's a teddy bear" Lily smiled.

"Lion has one of those" Kira smiled. "Do you think he'd like this one?"

"No, no" Lily sighed. "I wanted to know if you like it"

"...Um... I don't understand" Kira admitted.

"Pick out a toy you like" Lily stated.

"...Okay!" Kira smiled. Lily perked up and smiled back at Kira. Who held up her toy raccoon. Lily seemed to melt slightly and breathed out a great breath.

"Do my eyes deceive me, or is it Mrs. Potter and Kira?" Dumbledore greeted warmly.

"Good morning" Kira greeted.

"Good to see you Albus" Lily greeted.

"What are you both doing today?" Dumbledore asked, looking from Kira to the teddy bear.

"Getting Kira some things to decorate her room" Lily explained. "Why don't you pick something out Kira"

"For who?" Kira asked, spying a light blue puppy toy she knew Harry would love.

"For you" Lily sighed again. She tried very hard not to spoil her children, but Kira had a bed, her favorite sheets, a stuffed raccoon, a pastel drawing table, a wood book shelf with a few books and that was all; except the few doll sets that really acted as a bed and wardrobe to Trinidy, who even got her own room, the top shelf of the closet. It was time she got some things to play with. She was at the top of all her classes and the teachers were going on vacations soon so Kira would be at home a lot. She needed things to play with in order to be happy. Yet Kira thought of everyone else before herself, a sign of good parenting... yet then when you want her to be a little self indulgent-

"But I think Lion would love that dog. I wonder how we can find something like that for him," Kira stated, pointing towards the plush dog.

"Harry likes puppies?" Dumbledore asked, leaning slightly so he was closer to Kira.

"Lion likes toys with big eyes that are soft," Kira stated, still not grasping that toys in a toy store were for sale.

"Kira, this is a place where they sell toys, any toy in this store not already owned can be bought" Lily stated.

"Ohhh" Kira ohhhed.

"Never been to a toy store?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Lily.

"She was always busy in class when I took Harry to the toy stores," Lily confessed. "I just want her to have things in her room to make it her room. I want her to personalize her room so it is a special place for her. Somewhere she knows she is safe"

Kira walked past many kids who were pushing each other and having a war in the ball pit, she walked past the electronics and then stopped, eyes wide in awe. Lily looked over and saw James' 'it's a brand new broom' look, only it was on Kira. She grinned and Dumbledore gave a smile. "Seems she found something she likes" He chuckled.

Kira had found something she liked, the unicorn and horse isle. Here eyes focused on the unicorn picture as it tossed its head and ran around. Lily recognized it from the decoration that was in Harry's room. His was a scarlet and gold lion, guess who picked that out. The decoration looked life like, yet came in different colors, and ran around on the walls of the room. The decorations were about three feet high and followed the child when they walked around.

For Example, if Harry crawled to a corner there would be a cuddly lion on the wall watching him in some cute pose. Or if Kira was at the drawing table, the unicorn would be either running around or playing in a painting like setting near the drawing table. It was as if the decorations were traveling from painting to painting, only the painting was the wall and shrunk when the child stopped so the creatures had a habitat that apeared and would run around in a small area. In the end, Kira ended up with that decoration, a collar for Mikomi, and a new backpack, Lily was tired of the old one. It reminded her too much of the lab. Its space blanket like material with red adding some color to the platinum. Kira was getting a dress for Trinidy when-

"Lily, Dear, I seem to recall that you told me that Kira had a dance recital at three?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, why? Lily looked at her watch and a siren flared in her mind. "We're going to be late. Kira, come on"

"Coming" Kira set down the dress and hurried after Lily.

"Amazing" Dumbledore heard someone say. "I wish I could get my kid out of the toy store that easily"

"She's a very talented mother" Dumbledore smiled, taking pace after Lily and Kira.

*~*~*~*~*~Meanwhile~*~*~*~*~*

"Lord James, by any chance are you aware of the time?" Cota asked as Sirius, Harry, and James watched the quidditch game.

James looked at the clock and leapt to his feet. "Kira's recital!"

"Kra!" Harry smiled and looked around.

Sirius laughed and shook his head at Harry. Then, after receiving a look from James, jumped up and headed for the fireplace. Then it happened, chaos. Sirius threw some floo-powder into the fire place, the fire flared up, Harry cried, Peter walked in the door then promptly tripped, knocking into Cota, who fell onto the floor and hit the remote with his hand, which changed the channel to a country music station, which caused Harry to cry louder, which caused James to panic, which caused him to rush, which caused him to ram into Sirius, who fell into the stereo, which blared at maximum volume, which scared the fairy out of her little mind, which caused her to fall on the floor, which caused Cota to leap over and cover her with his hands so she wouldn't be crushed by Peter, who instead stepped on Cota, who instinctively rolled, which made Peter fall and crash into James, who jerked his spine to avoid hitting Harry, who laughed. (Author takes a breath and rubs her fingers)

Sirius stood up and leapt forward to snatch Harry away from the falling bookshelf, that instead landed on James, who wasn't too happy about it, but really couldn't say anything because he had just been buried by books, which caused Cota to immediately place the scared fairy on a table, then run to put out the fire before the books caught and James was burned alive, which caused Peter to start apologizing, which made it so no one turned off the noise, which caused Patrick to start bucking, which caused him to nearly hit Gyriph, who whinnied and tried to bite Patrick, who wasn't to happy about that. Amidst the chaos Remus walked in, used his wand to right the bookshelf, stated his condolences to the poor fairy, who was now hiding in his pocked, muted the stereo, and then turned off the T.V.

"Soo... Everyone ready to go?" Remus asked. (I am Eve, feel my sarcasm!! Mwahahahahaha HA!!!!!)

***** (Ohh, the starry things! Cool)

Things went back to normal quite quickly in the Potter household. Lily and James were excellent parents in the fact that they got Kira back to her regular schedule as quickly as possible. The morning routine was everyone got up, showered, dressed, and then ate breakfast. Usually at this time, Remus or Sirius showed up. After breakfast, Cota and James headed for the academy, while Sirius or Remus, took Kira to her classes. Lily stayed with Harry, who was still too young to go anywhere. Not in these times, no one in their right mind would take their baby out while Voldemort was on the prowl. Then at around five, Kira came home, via motorcycle or fireplace. She played with Harry and Trinidy for as long as he stayed awake, then James and Cota came home. Dinner was served, sometimes the Order would meet or they played a game for a while. Then Kira and Harry were put to bed and Cota, Lily, and James watched the news. Repeat the next day. Halloween was coming up soon, though. The air was crisp, the leaves were falling and the fairy was asleep in the pumpkin field.

"No! Not another one" Kira grabbed the falling leaf and put it with the rest. Harry sat to her left and had been put in charge of making sure the leaves stayed there. "...There, that's the last one I thi-"

"Kra" Harry pointed to one of the branches as another leaf fell.

"Oh, no!" Kira hurried to catch the leaf. "Don't fall, stay on the tree!"

"Stay" Harry giggled.

"You heard him. Attention all leaves, you are supposed to be ON the tree!" Kira yelled, stomping her foot. She loved the tree and did not want it to die.

"What are you guys up to?" Cota asked.

"The tree! There's something wrong with the tree!" Kira explained, Harry held up a few leaves to symbolize what she meant.

Cota blinked and debated the best way to explain this to them. "...Oh, no! Quick you keep catching them, I'll get some glue" Cota turned and sprang into the house.

"What's so funny?" Lily asked as Cota retrieved some glue from Kira's art box and was struggling to suppress laughter.

"Little Kira and Harry are outside" Cota stated, letting a small laugh escape his throat.

"I know" Lily nodded, not understanding why that would be funny.

"Trying to put the leaves back on the tree" Cota grinned and ran his fingers through his hair as he tried not to bust out laughing.

Lily looked out the window and muffled laughter. "And what are you doing?" She asked Cota.

Cota held up the glue bottle. "I'm helping"

Lily stared at him. "You know, you could simply explain Fall to them"

"I could, but I'm the one who has to rake up the leaves so..." Cota started.

"Laziness is a virtue" Lily said in a singsong voice. Lily rolled her eyes and waved her hand in a dismissive gesture towards Cota as James entered the room.

"Lord James" Cota bowed to Lily, saluted James, then backed into the hall with a final bow.

"Pizza!" Derek called, trotting over to the front door.

"I'll get it!" Sirius cried from down the hall as soon as Derek's voice reached him.

"Ah, laziness, another unfortunate side affect, of hunger" James snickered as Sirius dragged himself down the hall. Sirius simply made James pull him up and then was down the hall in a flash, almost knocking Cota over.

Sirius opened the door as Derek rang the bell. "Great, how much do I owe you?" He asked.

"Two large pizzas one with everything, one with pepperoni, one small pizza with cheese, and a jar of Gerber, comes down to twelve gold galleons, five sickles, and a knut." Derek stated. "Plus tip" Sirius handed over the money and Derek handed over the goods. Cota joined Derek outside as Sirius closed the door, complaining about how the pizza companies were taking advantage of lazy, hungry people.

"Hey, what's with them?" Derek asked, pointing to Kira and Harry.

"They are trying to keep the leaves on the trees" Cota explained in a matter of fact voice. He held up the glue. "And I am helping"

"You do know about this thing we like to call Fall, right?" Derek asked, shaking his head.

"Explain it" said Cota.

"You see, it's this odd thing where once a year the leaves fall off the trees" Derek stated.

"Fall you say?" Cota asked, acting bewildered.

"Yes, you see that is why they call it Fall. Everything changes, the leaves fall" Derek explained.

"It's madness!"

"It's weather"

"Tis an angry God"

"Tis a rotating Earth"

"....Rotating you say?"

"Yes"

"Tis madness!"

"Yeah, that's why we have seasons"

"Quidditch seasons?"

"That too"

"Tis madness"

"Tis insanity"

"Tis-"

"If you guys don't hurry up, Sirius will eat your pizza" Came a voice from inside the house.

"Stop referring to yourself in third person, Sirius" Cota retorted.

"Sirius does not like that idea" Sirius laughed.

"Cota, however, does"

"As does Derek"

"Me too...oop's" Kira kicked at nothing and handed Harry another leaf. Harry took the leaf and put it with the rest.

"Remus thinks you're all insane" Remus called as Dumbledore and himself came down the path. He looked to his Goddaughter as she ran over to him. "Maybe not ALL of you" He smiled, hugging her as she reached him.

"Kra" Harry called.

"It's okay Lion" Kira called back, Harry stared at her and then up at the tree. Kira called him lion because that was his favorite animal, besides the Gryphon. Harry did not seem to care much for rats or snakes. Besides, his name meant Lion. If he called her Kra, then she would call him lion. They all headed into the house and started the meeting. Harry and Neville played in the playpen, oblivious to the conversations going on in the other room. Derek and Cota took Kira shopping while the members of the Order had their meeting.

"What are we looking for?" Kira asked.

"We want to find some spooky stuff to decorate the house with" Cota stated. "Though Lord James has advised us not to scare the trick-or-treaters away this year" Cota shook his head in regret. "We aren't going to have any candy left if we do things the traditional way"

"What's a twickor treter?" Kira asked.

"Trick-or-treater" Derek corrected.

"Right, trick-or-treater...what is it?" Kira repeated.

"Oh, they can be almost anything" Cota stated. "A clown, a princess, a ghost, a lizard, an m&m, a cartoon, anything really"

"...Are they strong?" Kira questioned, not liking these trick-or-treaters very much.

"No, they're kinda tinny most of the time. Derek and I go sometimes though. Sirius usually joins in saying you're never to old to scare people into giving you free candy" Cota said.

"Oh, score!" Derek cheered, pointing across the street at a new Halloween store called 'Boovile.'

Cota turned in the direction Derek was pointing. "Wow, looks good to me. Ready?"

"Ready!" Kira cheered.

They set out into the store and grabbed a cart. Cota set Kira in the cart as they walked through the first isle and realized they had entered the twilight zone. The store was gigantic, massive, huge, colossal. It had levels, sublevels and a rooftop restaurant. They stood in awe and stepped into the first isle. It was full of multi-colored streamers, balloons, signs, plastic pumpkins in every size, shape, expression, color, and enchantment you could dream of and toys that resembled spiders, ghosts, pumpkins, black cats, bats, owls, mummies, and Frankenstein. Kira was quite happy with her raccoon, thank you very much, so she was the only kid in the story not down on their knees in the universal begging pose. Derek and Cota were quite thankful of that, for they got to the good stuff before anyone else. They got through that isle and turned onto the next.

"Let's see, face paint" Derek read from the list.

"Check" Cota stated grabbing a rainbow of face paint tubes. There was one for every color imaginable, but he just took the basic six.

"Glitter?" Derek read, then reread, then looked at Kira and mouthed 'ohhh.'

"What color glitter?" Cota asked.

"Come now there can't be that ma-...ny" Derek stopped as he looked up to see all the different colors, texture, sparkle, shades, rainbows, mixes, and shapes the glitter came in. There was also a lot of ways to apply it. Spray, brush, sponge, pat, rub, smear, mix with pain, way to many ways to apply glitter. Safe for pets, not safe for pets, ones that could make any object shimmer, ones that could mimic the color of the surface they were put on and then shimmered when someone turned a light on, glitter for eyes, face, body, and hair.

"Dear Merlin, this is definitely going too far!" Cota exclaimed, hoping someone who worked there would overhear him.

"Luminosity? They have different luminosity levels?!" Derek said in a loud, dazed voice. "glare, brightness, glow, and even shine levels!"

"Tis madness"

"Tis insanity"

"Tis glitter, and it seems to be taking over the world"

"Glittify your world" Derek read, picking up a yellowish packet that changed colors and shimmered like Christmas lights every five seconds. "They ARE trying to take over the world"

"I like this one and this one" Kira stated, taking down two packets of gel glitter. One was pink and very sparkly with little white unicorns and stars, the other was white, shinny, and sparkly making it resemble ice. "Oh, and this one" She picked one that was less shiny and more sparkly, it was like silver and seemed to twinkle in different lights.

"...okay" Derek raised an eyebrow, that had been easy. He looked at the list. "Um, now we need a candy dish"

Cota grabbed a map and unfolded it. "Umm, hmm, wow, there is a haunted house isle; you can buy the houses"

"...But we always make our own" Derek argued.

"I know that, adding the bogarts was an excellent idea by the way. However, it's child friendly this year, remember" Cota stated, stepping infront of the cart so they could maneuver around a pushy older witch that seemed to have jumped out of one of the Muggle posters.

"I know, I know. Back to the candy dish"

"Right, upstairs"

After about two hours, they had successfully collected everything on the list. All twelve items. So they headed to the roof to grab food for the long trip back to the front door.
