Chapter 14
Surprise!
Hannah, Lily, James, Remus and Arabella sat in a corner of the manors' living room. They were brainstorming and throwing about idea's for Sirius's surprise party.
Lily and James had great ideas for the guest list. They had called almost all of Gryffindor and a few Ravenclaws as well.
The Party preparations were almost fully discussed. The five teenagers had sent Peter to distract Sirius and had proceeded to get everything ready. Througout the week, secret orders for various preperations were made. Occasionally, One of the gang would go to Diagon Alley with the use of floo powder and smuggle in a few goods. Sirius was kept distracted from the secret goings on and he never had a clue about what his friends were planning for him.
On the night of the party, Sirius was with his family friends. (who werent invited because they werent very nice. Sirius was forced to meet them every summer while he was back from Hogwarts)
The Gang had got all the nessecities needed. butterbeer, fireworks, decorations, a cake, the works.
"Whew, Finally" Lily exclaimed, taking a look at all the stuff around her.
"We did quite well, i must say" Hannah put in.
"And Sirius doesnt have a clue" beamed Remus
"Okay we should start getting ready" said Bella
"What? Now?" asked James
"Yes, it's quite late already!" Bella exclaimed
"Bye, guys"
The girls disappeared upstairs.
Once inside the room, they started to pick out their clothes, accsesories and shoes. A lot of exchanging and giggling could be heard.
By the time 8:00pm rolled around, all six of them were ready. The boys took about half an hour to get dressed. The girls had taken an hour an a half, (which according to James, was the least time ever) and they were all looking sensational. James, Remus and Peter were all very sufficently formal but still normal muggle clothes- button down shirts with trousers. The girls, however, had gone a little further than that!
Lily was wearing a black knee length dress which looked sensational on her, Bella was wearing squiggly witch earings and a blue off shoulder top with black pants. Hannah was wearing jeans, but with a hot pink halter top. They all looked totally fabulous.
The Gang had spent alot of time in making The Manor look magnificant and everything was finally ready.
Now only the guests were left to arrive.
Aerial Black, Sirius's Ravenclaw sister was the first to arrive. She had come early to help out a bit. she had explained her departure to Sirius by saying she had a "friend crisis"
"He really ticked me off for leaving him with our snooty family friends on his birthday" she grinned "But i'd say it's worth it. You guys have done a great job."
The Gang got to meet all their Hogwarts friends, and Hannah and Ella met all the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws. Ella made friends with Miranda Lee, a fourth year Gryffindor and Brittny Anmylica Cain a cheery fifth year Ravenclaw. Even Lilys brother Shaye Evans was there.
James had been greeting all the guests at the door and had been really happy to see the whole Hogwarts gang again (except Frank Longbottom, whom he just nodded at politely)
Soon, all the guests had arrived, and only the guest of honor was left.
Remus looked at the wizards clock on the wall. it was half a sun and half a moon with squiggles instead of numbers, but it seemed to make sense to Remus because he said "Ok Everybody. Sirius should be here in five minutes. When we hear him on the porch, everybody has to shout "surprise" ok?"
"But wont he hear us scuffling around inside?" Natalie a fourth year more commonly known as tom girl asked
"Yeah, Remus. We're thirty people here...he's bound to hear us from outside." said Lily
"He wont. i've put a silencing charm on the house so our muggle neighbours wont get disturbed either"
"Good thinking" Hannah smiled. She was starting to like Remus more and more.
"Sush! i think he's coming!" Marie, A Ravenclaw and Sia a Gryffindor said together. They both looked at each other and started giggling.
Lily sushed them and told them to hide. Everyone hid behind sofa's, in the hall closet or in the kitchen which was the next room.
The Door opened and in walked our guest of honour himself - Sirius Black.
"SURPRISE" everyone shouted. Sirius almost fell over in shock.
Then he smiled. All his friends were in one room together. And they had done this just for him. He looked around him. There were all the Hogwarts gang, all there just for him. and there were his Marauders - James, Remus and Peter beaming happily at him. And Lily and Hannah too. And Ella...
He didnt really have time to think about her, because about thirty people began wishing him happy birthday and handing him presents all at once. Sirius was quite overwhelmed.
"Oh God everybody! This is great!"
He looked around at the three Marauders and the three girls. they had done all this for him. He smiled.
