Kira stared at her father in confusion as he pushed her towards the front door and would not let her eat beakfast in the kitchen. She had woken up, same as always, cleaned up, dressed, then headed downstairs. She turned towards the kitchen when James had came through the door, turned her around, and explained he was taking her to breakfast. James urged his daughter to go and smiled down at her. It annoyed him that they couldn't throw her a big party with balloons and the works, but he knew the lab would be watching. Waiting for them to slip up.

James knew better than to throw out news that an orphan girl was having a birthday party. Because he'd have to use his name to do it and then Takai would know where to find her. So they would have a downcast party. James took Kira to a breakfast and then they held a small party at the hotel. Lily met with clients, James met with his friends, Cota met with Derek and Oweiry, and Kira played games with Fred and George.

"Kira! What have I told you a thousand times!" James yelled.

"Do not store smokebombs in your backpack. The teachers love to watch bags explode by making the students stand infront of the fireplace" Kira intoned.

"And?" James pushed.

"And tie your shoes for a faster get away?" Kira smiled innocently and circled her foot on the ground.

"What else?" James shook his head.

Kira sighed. "Any fireworks are to be given to you"

"That's right, hand them over" James took the fireworks from Kira.

"How 'bout a trade?" Fred prompted.

"A trade?" James mused, what could a child have that interested a marauder.

"One firework for one buzzbomb extreme" Fred bargained.

"...What is a buzzbomb extreme?" James asked.

"That less you know about them, the better" Kira mumbled.

This intrigued the mauraders. A bomb that Dumbledore would kill them for? James greatly enjoyed the idea of possessing a bomb that would terrorize Hogwarts in nine years if Kira went, seven years if she didn't. "Deal"

Fred, George, and Kira exchanged the buzzbomb X-tremes for peppertots and fireworks. The gory details were not discussed on the cout of the mauraders blaming it on kids, and the kids blaming it on other kids, who blamed it on Percy. Percy just existed and wasn't bothered. The hotel manager could tell he was innocent simply by looking at him. When it was time for gifts Kira received a riding outfit from James and Lily, a pink hair ribbon from Harry, Magic Streamers from George and Fred, a headband from Remus, with a book about the many different types and ways of dueling, a book on animagi from Sirius, a little silver bell from Trinidy, and a camera from Cota.

The riding outfit was like something from a Japanese Anime, it looked extremely cute, but was acceptable in daily life. The hair ribbon shimmered and displayed shining stars and unicorns. Magical Streamers is the wizard version of string confetti, silly string, silly snot, ect. The headband just looked cute on Kira and Remus read that Volucris had strange symbols on their foreheads, he wanted to make sure Kira was prepared. The books were self explanatory, though Sirius said he'd been shopping with Remus, who took a detour in the book store and it was closing so he, like Remus quickly grabbed something. Trinidy explained that if Kira rang the bell, any faery that was in the area would come to help her.

When questioned about what gave Trinidy the right to do that she smiled and explained that she'd met another fairy a few weeks after she'd first came to the potter house. The other fairy's name was Silva Archos. He was a prince, she'd learned that fact only recently. He said that if she wanted to give the bell to the girl that saved her, then she had the right in his name. The camera took pictures and videos. They were stored on little disks that Kira could fit in her locket. The pictures could be played in special picture frames. Kira got a frame from Dumbledore. The sun set upon the group and the activities came to an end.

"Aw, I don't wanna go home yet" Fred whinned to Percy as he was dragged off.

"I wanna stay here" George agreed, being led by William.

"Does it really have to end?" Kira asked Dumbledore, who nodded sadly.

"I'm having fun here" Sirius whinned. James nodded in agreement, just to piss off the hotel manager who didn't enjoy the idea of having the parents react like the children. Then who'd make them leave?

Kira said goodbye to her friends, who were putting on a very dramatic performance as they stepped into the fireplace, and then skipped over to James and Lily. James said goodbye to his friends, who were laughing at the degree of whipped he was. Lily's clients thanked her for inviting them and headed home. Cota said his goodbyes, then realized there was really nothing stopping him, Derek, and Oweiry from continuing the night. James had already said it was fine. So they set out looking for something to do. Three bored college age students... good call James! Harry was... asleep. Kira pushed the stroller he was in and thought about how they could turn it into a carrage for her pony. Lily wasn't prepared to let her get too much thought into that idea. And so the night ended for some and became a quest for others. Cota, Derek, and Oweiry decided to have a competition between themselves and Sirius, Peter, and Remus to find out which trio could have more fun that night. You had to take a picture of everyplace you went and had to be doing something worth while in the picture. Trinidy decided that if everyone was going to do something, then she was going to go have fun with Silva.

Kira dragged her feet and then was eventually carried by James on the way home and Lily pushed the stroller. James didn't regret not getting to have a night out. He looked over at Lily and everything seemed perfect. The kids were fast asleep, Cota was out, and Trinidy was on a date. Purrrrfect. James put Kira to bed and Lily marked off another day on the callender. It wasn't too much longer before the Hogwarts Reunion.

Lily checked herself in the mirror once before deciding she was ready. "The prettiest thing you can wear" She said to Kira. "Is confidence" Kira nodded and debated requesting to wear her vampire cotume. She could wear that with confidence. However Lily was allowing her to wear a black dress, so Kira figured it was a compromise. The dress was simple and flared out, stopping at her knees. The hd a bright pink bow tied around her waist, black boots that stopped just below her knees, a black arm cover with hot pink ribbon tied around it in a cris cross fashion, came color as the bow, her silver locket, a fuzzy, hot pink formal jacked, and the hair ribbon Harry had given her as a birthday present.

Lily was dressed in an offwhite dress, slim fitting, and very flowy. It had emerad beads in patters below the color, the waist and smaller ones on the arms. She loosly put her hair into an emerald green clip that had a white lilly in the center. She whore silver loop earings, and didn't worry to much about the style of her shoed. "Another thing" She noted to Kira. "When your dress flows behind you and you can only see your feet when you pull up the dress, don't concentrate of fancy. Go for comfortable. Make sure the shoes go with the outfit, bit high heels that make you wish you could saw off your own feet is not appropriate"

"What if you go down stairs?" Kira asked.

"That is why the shoes always have to look good. But people only see them briefly, so don't kill yourself"

"Why don't they just make shoes that look god, but don't hurt?"

"They make them this way for weddings, I think. So the bride has a way to get back at anyone that tried to look better then her" Lily smiled. "There are shoes like what you speak of, but not when you're going for 'look at me. I'm a goddess and you know it.' Or the 'reunion look' as I call it"

James walked in nervously, he'd been told to change twice already. Apparently Lily wasn't up for humor tonight. James had already been told that if he was going to make a fool of himself he had to let her do it too and he had to tell her early enough so she didn't pick out a nice outfit like the one she was wearing now. Lily looked over at him and was pleasantly surprised. His outfit was not something that every guy would wear because their wives approved of it and they didn't have to do much, he was dressed in a finely tailored dress cloak. The cloak matched with her dress perfectly, while not making too much of a 'cute couple' statement. The outfits simply complimented each other. He had gel in his hair and though it wasn't staying down it had a nice wind blown look to it that actors would spend hours trying to achieve.

Trinidy was staying with Silva's mother, Tanya, and wouldn't be coming. This disappointed Kira, but she wouldn't show it. She walked out into the living room and looked over at Cota. He was also dressed nicely and looked his usual gorgeous self, though Kira doubted he'd put much effort into it. Cota tapped his watch, a signal that they needed to leave. Kira called down the hall to Lily and then went to get Harry. They all borded the train and were off to Hogwarts. The trip was mostly uneventful. Harry seemed impressed, but fell asleep an hour later. Kira practiced drawing and listened to Cota the entire way. Then, finaly, they were there.

"Hey, Fred!" Kira greeted, bounding over to him.

"Hey, Kira" Fred smiled back. "George! Kira is here"

Kira watched as George hopped down from the table and past a red haired toddler who was walking around and didn't look exactly coordinated yet. He was being watched by Charlie and had a flying cannons hat on his head. The toddler couldn't talk yet, but had a look on his face that told he was thinking about a lot of things. 'Left foot, ah, right, oop's. Nope, I'm up. Yikes, okay... I'm alright!... Where is George going?... Oh look, a chocolate frog!'

"Sooooo" Fred started, hands in his pockets. "That's Ron" He pointed over his shoulder with his thumb after taking one hand out of his pockets. "So, where's your brother, been dyin' ta meet him"

"He's over-" Kira began, but they both walked past her. "Hold it!" Kira spun around, grabbed both their shirts and planted her feet firmly on the ground.

"We weren't plannin nothin" George stated automatically as he was pulled backward.

"I know you weren't planning nothing, you were planning SOMETHING" Kira stated, still not releasing them.

"Aw, come on. Ron cries when we get near him, he's loud too, you know that." Fred whimpered, being choked at the moment.

"I already told you, you have to go through me first" Kira stated.

Dumbledore watched all this with an amused look on his face and was beaming at Kira. Such protection she showed for her brother, it was amazing for a child her age. Harry might be the one of the prophet, but if he is, Dumbledore was glad he'd have a loving sister by his side. He had a deep love for the Potters and could already see great potential in Harry and Kira. Even Cota seemed a member of the family. Dumbledore walked forward a few steps as George pulled and nearly broke Kira's grip. However, you had to give the little girl some credit, she held tight and wasn't budging.

"You know, I liked the weaker one year old little girl version of you better" Fred laughed, mocking Kira as she struggled to keep hold.

"Same to you both" Kira smirked, hearing, to her surprise, soft laughter coming from Dumbledore.

"Hey!" Fred and George whipped around, ripping out of her grasp. They glared at her and she simply smiled. "Take it back!" Fred demanded.

"Catch me" Kira stated simply as she saw their 'you're gonna pay for that' looks.

She turned on her heel and took off with them close behind her. She had just successfully saved Harry from some nasty trick. They raced on with Kira in the lead, wondering where she could find a stairwell to loose them on. She looked back over at Harry, he was walking around Lily. The Percy was rushing by and knocked him on the ground with out noticing. Kira stopped dead in her tracks, the smile gone from her face and her eyes burning with rage. Fred and George were about to tackle her, but they had also seen what had happened and quickly became her back up. Kira strode over, fists clenched, Fred and George followed her as a support group to killing their brother.

"Say you're sorry" Kira demanded, pointing to Harry, whom was climbing to his feet, a bit dizzy.

"He wouldn't understand anyway, and I'm in a hurry" Percy stated, trying to get around Kira. "You see I actually have things to do, friends to meet, in the library.

"Good luck getting there on one leg, git" And with that, she kicked him, hard, on his left shin.

Fred and George howled with laughter and Percy limped off, shooting glares at Kira. "You'll pay for that!" He hissed.

Kira was about to retaliate when Fred caught her eye. She saw a strange glimmer in them and lost interest in the Percy.

"Don't bother with a comeback" Fred laughed, "I just slipped a smoke bomb in his sweater vest, can't wait till that goes off."

"YOU TOO!?" George exclaimed, mouth wide open, signaling that he had also left a 'gift' for the Percy.

"..." Kira blushed and raised her shoulders. "...I did too" She admitted, biting her lip.

They all stared at each other for a few seconds, then burst into a vigorous fit of laughter. James caught them out of the corner of his eye and walked over. Parental instinct giving up and being replaced with marauder instinct.

"What did you do?" He asked, taking a fatherly pose of punishment and toning his voice to that of a lecture.

"We-" George started.

"Shhh!" James kneeled down and spoke in a low voice. "Never, ever tell someone who is mad at you what you have done!" James lectured. "Kira, I've taught you this"

"When all else fails, deny, deny, deny. Always stick to your lie" Kira nodded, quoting the phrase in a sing-song voice.

"Another thing, never, EVER stay at the scene, stay slightly away and hidden, that way you can marvel at your work, yet be free of detention. Do not burst out laughing in the middle of the room"

"Okay, Daddy" Kira smiled.

James smiled back. "Oh, here comes the librarian, go. Go" James pushed Kira gently behind him, signaling for her to run. Kira ran in the direction he pointed her in. They saw a door, sped up, and ran into Sirius.

"Halt!" Sirius said, holding up his hand and blocking them. "State your purpose"

"Nothing but trouble" Kira answered innocently. (Awww, cute)

"Very good" Sirius looked over at James, who gave the signal while acting surprised to hear that a boy had blown up in the library. Sirius was sure he saw James smile slightly as if realizing what had happened. "Now, if you'll follow me..." Sirius lead them down the hall and casually pulled a painting aside, revealing a secret passage way.

"Wow!" Fred climbed into the passageway and looked around in awe.

"Are there more of these?" George asked, also higly impressed.

"Might be" Sirius grinned. Fred and George and Kira looked to each other, each with the same thought. 'I can't wait to come here someday'

"They'll never see us coming" Fred grinned, elbowing Kira.
