A/N: I'm baaaaaack! Ok so this is the second chapter of "white houses" and I hope you like this chapter (dear god I just sounded like the biggest prep –ew-) so here it goes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, Vanessa Carlton (or the song white houses), or anything else really.
Nearly five hours later the house had received a total and complete makeover. (I hope you don't mind but I'm going to put what each room looks like by having them go into the rooms and describe it)).
"Sirius, you eat enough, you know how to cook and you're good at it. Go fix us some dinner." Cara said from her spot on the hard wood floor.
Sirius for once did as he was told. He trudged into the kitchen decorated by the two people who would be in there the most; himself and Cara.
The kitchen was painted a light aquamarine blue. (Just so you know the girls insisted upon it being a wizard and muggle house.) The kitchen had black marble counter tops and stainless steel appliances. It had a table off to the side and 6 chairs to go with.
The girls decided that while Sirius was cooking dinner they would go and practice together for the first time in a month. They had created a separate practice room in the attic that was only for them.
They decided not to change the attic too much. They kept the same wood floors and walls and moved in some rugs and chairs and a refrigerator.
Cara walked to her metallic blue drums, Jenny made her way to her red bass, and Lily strolled towards her black flying-v guitar and the microphone.
They struck up the beat and Lily began to sing: (I don't own these lyrics k?)
Oh, make me over
I'm all I wanna be
A walking study
In demonology
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, so glad you could make it now
Oh, look at my face
My name is might have been
My name is never was
My name's forgotten
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now
When I wake up in my makeup
It's too early for that dress
Wilted and faded somewhere in
Hollywood
I'm glad I came here
With your pound of flesh
No second billing cause you're a star now
Oh, cinderella
They aren't sluts like you
Beautiful garbage beautiful dresses
Can you stand up or will you
Just fall down
You better watch out
What you wish for
It better be worth it
So much to die for
Hey, so glad you could make it
Yeah, now you really made it
Hey, there's only us left now
When I wake up in my makeup
Have you ever felt so used up as this?
It's all so sugarless
Hooker/waitress/model/actress
Oh, just go nameless
Honeysuckle, she's full of poison
She obliterated everything she kissed
Now she's fading
Somewhere in hollywood
I'm glad I came here
With your pound of flesh
You wanta a part of me
Well, I'm not selling cheap
No I'm not selling cheap
As they struck the last chord they heard applauding. They looked up to see James, Sirius and Remus applauding.
Lily stared at them her cheeks turning as red as her hair, Jenny nodded her head but looked away but Cara took the attention with open arms. She walked into the middle of the room and bowed and curtsied to each of the boys before walking out of the room to go eat dinner.
When they walked into the dining room what they saw made them happier than a monkey stuck in a room with a thousand bananas.
Somehow Sirius had managed to make 3 different pizzas, also somehow managing to know exactly what each girl liked on her pizza.
"OH MY GOD! It's meat lovers with skittles! How did you know?" Cara asked like a little child on Christmas morning
The two other girls examined their pizzas finding their exact favorites.
James walked over to Lily; he pulled out her chair and whispered in her ear "Your seat milady." Lily, having not realized that James was behind her jumped up and out of reflex nut checked him. (See bottom of page to find out what nut checking is)
Remus quietly walked over to Jenny and pulled out her chair without saying a word. They all sat quietly and ate until Cara who couldn't stand silences burped the loudest burp you have ever heard. (I do that all the time and it's the funniest thing. Well the look on my moms face is the funny thing.)
(A/n: This is all going to be present day so anything we have today is in the story.)
"Cara…" Jenny said, "What do we say?" Cara mumbled an almost inaudible 'Excuse me.' And went back to eating.
After dinner was finished, they decided that everyone would help clean up. This resulted in a bubble war that made Jenny and Remus end up finishing the dishes by themselves.
Jenny sent Cara to a corner for trying to force dish soap down Sirius' throat, Remus sent Sirius to another corner for trying to grope Cara (hence the dish soap), and James and Lily were just told to stay away from one another.
Once everything had been cleaned up they were trying to decide what to do for fun. "Oh my God! Lets play truth or dare!" Cara squealed. Everybody groaned but agreed out of sheer boredom.
"Cara go put your pajamas on." Jenny said. "But I don't wanna." Cara argued back. "I didn't ask if you wanted to, I told you to." Jenny said, not glancing up from her magazine.
Cara sighed and got up to put on her pj's. "Hey, how about bringing me a pillow?" Sirius asked as Cara walked down the hall. "Screw yourself." She replied.
Once everyone had changed clothes and Jenny had given Cara her medicine for the night they all sat down in a circle.
(This is all clockwise.)
Cara sat next to Jenny, who sat next to Remus. Sirius was next to Remus, with James by his side and Lily (grudgingly of course) sitting next to him.
Lily began the game and spun the bottle to see whom she would ask truth or dare to. It landed on Remus and she asked the traditional 'truth or dare'.
"Truth." Remus said. "Is it true that Heidi Bern tried to make out with you last year?" Lily asked. "Sadly, yes, and might I say it was disgusting." Everybody cringed at the thought of making out with the mean pimply girl and moved on.
Remus spun and it landed on James. "James truth or dare?" Remus asked. James, always looking for a challenge, said dare. "I dare you to make out with Lily." James grinned happily and leaned over to kiss her.
"Wait!" Lily said, "What if I don't agree to the dare?" "Then as everybody knows, you take your top off." Sirius said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Lily groaned but pulled of the loose red shirt she wore.
"Oh, Lily you're such a tease. A camisole, naughty, naughty." Cara said teasingly. "Shut up Cara." Lily replied back in the same tone.
The game continued on for a little while longer. Cara dared Jenny to kiss Remus, Remus was dared to ask Jenny out and she accepted. Cara ended up having to take off her shirt and sit in Sirius' lap.
The game ended when Sirius made Cara fall asleep in his lap from some how making her calm down. "Who does this empty vodka bottle belong to anyway?" James asked as he picked it up and set it on the coffee table. Jenny and Lily both pointed to Cara's sleeping form.
"Okay, I am going to bed can somebody get this thing off of me?" Sirius asked, glancing at Cara. "She's to big for us to carry her anymore." Lily said gesturing to herself and Jenny. "You're going to have to put her to bed."
Sirius sighed and picked her up from his lap. "Come on you, let's go." He said and walked off to Cara's room.
Sirius opened the door to Cara's room and carefully set the sleeping form on the bed, or at least tried to. She snuggled closer every time he tried to lay her down.
He eventually gave up and decided that he would get yelled at in the morning for sleeping next to her but for now he just wanted to lie down.
Remus walked with Jenny silently down the hall. "So, about that date. I was thinking Friday at 7? That way you could take care of Cara and I'll try to do something about Sirius." Jenny laughed and said, "That sounds great." She pecked him on the cheek and silently closed the door on Remus' shocked face.
"Good night Lily." James said tiredly as he walked towards the hallway. "Stuff it Potter." Lily said as she followed behind him. "What is your problem Evans? Why are you such a heinous bitch? What have I done this whole trip to make you hate me?" James asked, irritated and tired.
Lily stood their shocked. Then she thought about it and realized James hadn't done anything but be a gentlemen."
James Potter was changing.
A/n: Okay, so that was chapter 2. Chapter 3 will probably be posted up today or tomorrow.
Please, please, PLEASE review¡ it keeps me going.
Random Thing: Sometimes, when nothing's going your way, all you can do is walk away, and pretend everything's okay.
Or if you're looking for something happier how about this:
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they wont come to yours.
