"Prongs! You made it!" yelled Sirius.
"Yeah I did, didn't I?" smiled James giving his friend a hug.
"Come one, the party is in the living room!" he said.
Lily looked around the house and couldn't believe her eyes. It was clean. Not just clean either, it was perfectly clean. Even Petunia would be able to complain about the house. They followed Sirius into the living room and Lily immediately sat down by Amy, whom she assumed was here with Remus. "Hey Amy," Lily said.
"Oh hey Lily," said Amy.
"Having fun?" Lily asked her.
Amy sighed and offered an obviously fake smile. "Oh yeah, I'm having a blast."
Lily laughed. "I was hoping that you would be here. Now we can keep each other company."
"More like keep each other sane is what we'll be doing. And a word of advice, if you are smart you wouldn't drink the green punch over at that table over there," said Amy pointing to the table over in the corner.
"Spiked?"
Amy nodded. "Courtesy of Peter I'm guessing."
"It's just like that one party after the Gryffindors won the Quidditch cup in our seventh year, except that time, all of the punch was spiked," Lily laughed.
"Yeah, so where is Rose?" asked Amy.
"At home with James' parents probably screaming her head off," said Lily rolling her eyes.
"Well it is better than having her here I guess," laughed Amy.
"Well yeah I guess," sighed Lily.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"So Sirius, are you getting along with your neighbors?" James asked teasingly.
"Nope," Sirius replied causing Peter and Remus to burst out laughing.
"So what is the plan of action?" asked Remus.
"What do you mean Remus?" asked Sirius, trying to look innocent.
Peter rolled his eyes. "He means that you can't have possibly invited us all over just to have a 'house warming party'."
"And why not? Maybe I did just want a house warming party," said Sirius looking insulted.
"Nope, you're planning something," James concluded.
"I am serious James," said Sirius.
"Yeah, I know your Sirius, that is why I am suspecting something like a well planned out prank sabotage on your neighbors," said James.
Sirius laughed. "You know me too well."
"So what's the plan?" asked Peter.
"Well the muggle mail comes in about an hour and they check their mail about a half hour after it comes," said Sirius.
"Have you been spying?" asked Remus.
"Only a little," laughed Sirius.
"So what are we going to do? Fill their mail box with fireworks after the mail comes, but before they check it?" asked James.
"Now that is an idea Prongs...why didn't I think of that?" Sirius asked himself.
"So what is this huge big sabotage prank that you are planning?" asked Remus, trying to keep the worry out of his voice.
"Well, since only grouchy little Mrs. Henson lives there no one will be in the house when she gets the mail."
"Padfoot, you wouldn't!" exclaimed Remus.
"She is a crazy old bat who needs mental help. So in the long run I'd be doing her a favor. Prongs, did you bring your cloak?" asked Sirius.
James looked around the room and pulled out his cloak from his pocket. It wasn't any old cloak, it had the power to turn the wearer invisible. (A/N- duh what'd you expect it was going to be!) "Perfect," said Sirius.
"Well now that you have the cloak, what are you going to do with it?" asked Peter.
"Apparate into her house and scare the living day lights out of her. She'll call the police and when they get there I'll leave and they'll get her some help," said Sirius triumphantly. "And, thanks to Prongs for giving me the idea, before she gets her mail I am going to leave her a present."
James groaned, why did he have to open his mouth? "Fine, but I want no part in this madness, Padfoot. Lily would kill me!" he said.
"I wasn't going to ask for help from anyone," said Sirius.
James sighed and left to find Lily who was still conversing with Amy in the corner of the room. "Having fun Lily dearest?" he asked as he slipped his arms around her waist.
"Of course," said Lily, leaning back into his embrace.
"Good," said James while kissing her head.
Amy rolled her eyes. "Look at you guys! I thought that everyone got over the 'I-must-hold-onto-my-special-someone' phase after they got married," she laughed.
Lily looked at James. "It's not a phase for us, it's a way of life," James declared.
Amy rolled her eyes again. "I wish Remus felt that way. It's always, 'Not here, everyone will see!' It drives me nuts!"
Lily laughed. "He'll see someday," she said.
"Maybe," he said looking over at Remus who was still laughing with Sirius.
"What are they up to?" asked Lily.
"No idea," lied James.
"I see," Lily said looking up at him.
James kissed her. "I wanted no part in it," he said softly.
Lily smiled and kissed him back. Amy rolled her eyes again. "I'm going to ask Remus about it. He'll tell me anything," she said as she walked over to Remus.
"So, what are they planning?" Lily asked again.
James groaned. "You don't want to know," he said.
"Yeah, I guess I don't," she said.
James held her tighter. "So how do you think Rose is?" he asked.
"Sleeping," said Lily.
"How can you tell?" asked James.
"I'm her mother, I can tell," said Lily.
"I see. Can I get in on this little mother-daughter bond thing? I'd like to know what both of you are doing at every moment," said James.
Lily pretended to think it over. "No."
"Why?" asked James, trying to sound hurt.
"It's a mother daughter thing."
James sighed and looked out of the window to see the muggle mail truck pulling up. He groaned. "What?" asked Lily.
"Nothing."
Soon after Sirius left the house so quietly that only James, Remus, and Peter knew he was gone. A half an hour later there was an explosion coming from outside and everyone ran to the window to see Mrs. Henson screaming as she became engulfed in fireworks. Lily looked at James. James looked innocently down at Lily. "I won't ask," she said simply.
"Good," said James.
Lily sighed and shook her head. "Come on, let's get something to drink," said James leading her over to the punch bowls.
"The green one is spiked," Lily said.
"How can you tell? You haven't tasted it yet," said James looking down at the green punch. "Even I can't tell whether it is or not."
"Amy tipped me off. Apparently she saw Peter spike it with something."
"It is always Peter who is spiking the drinks. Sometimes I don't get him," said James shaking his head.
"Neither do I," said Lily.
A/N- Well this is it for a while. I am going on vacation for about two weeks and this might be my last post until I get back. If I can post something worth posting before I leave then I will. I promise to write more in the car rides and stuff so I can post the second I get home. Well until then, leave me a review!
"Yeah I did, didn't I?" smiled James giving his friend a hug.
"Come one, the party is in the living room!" he said.
