Chapter 4 – Barbies and Pool

'So, what do you lot want for dinner? I was thinking we could have a barbie, if that's ok?'

'A barbie? Like a doll? You people are stranger than I thought.' Sirius exclaimed, looking warily at Nat. Simultaneously, Nat and Eliza burst into laughter. Emily, seeing her sister and auntie laughing, started laughing as well. Sirius shot a confused look at the others but they looked just as bewildered as he did. The seven teenagers just stood, hopelessly confused, and watched the three Australians laughing. Finally, Nat sat up wiping tears of mirth from her eyes and gasping for breath. 'A – A barbeque – like sausages and – steak.' She struggled to get the words out because she was still giggling. Looks of realisation dawned on the marauders faces as they understood the joke. Then they all cracked up laughing, triggering a new burst of laughter from Nat, Eliza and Emily.

Once they had all managed to stop laughing, Nat ushered them out of the kitchen. 'Go, Get out. I'll run to the store and get some meat and then start dinner. Explore the house, go to your rooms, watch TV, whatever you want just get out before I start laughing again.'

'I'm going to go write a letter.' Lily said as soon as they were outside the kitchen.

Erin nodded.

'I'll come with you. I need to finish unpacking. You coming, Chris?'

Christine shook her head.

'No, I want to explore a bit. This house is amazing.'

'Well I suppose me, Moony and Wormtail need to finish unpacking since we were unable to do it this afternoon because SOMEONE had an energy burst.' James looked pointedly at Sirius. Sirius looked sheepish.

'Ah... well I suppose I'll stay with you then, Chris.' Christine dived at James feet with a look of mock horror on her face. 'No! Take him with you! Please! I'll do anything!' She moaned. James smirked.

'No can do. He's your responsibility now!' He, Remus, Peter, Lily and Erin turned and ran up the stairs leaving Sirius and Christine alone.

'Well… let's go this way.' She said, grabbing Sirius's arm and dragging him towards a big wooden sliding door. She pushed it open and stuck her head inside. It seemed to be an entertainment room. There was a bar, a widescreen TV, a sound system and pool table. Christine felt a smile spreading across her face.

'Sirius,' She said, turning to face him, 'Do you know how to play pool?'

Erin had just finished unpacking the last of her things when she noticed an owl outside their bedroom window, waiting to be let in. Lily was lying on her bed, writing to her parents, so she hadn't noticed it yet. Erin quickly crossed the room and opened the window so the small brown-owl could fly in. It stuck out its leg so Erin could remove the letter and as soon as she did, swooped back out the window. Erin shut the window and then looked at the roll of parchment in her hand. 'Erin Walters' it said on the front.

'Who's the owl for?' Lily asked from her bed.

'For me.' Erin replied, ripping the envelope open.

Dearest Erin,

I heard about your suspension. What a shame. We could have spent this week together. Anyway, be sure to keep away from Potter, Black and Lupin. Who knows what those losers could do to you behind my back. Especially Lupin. I don't know when you're going to stop kidding yourself and come over to Slytherin. Those mudbloods and blood traitors will only drag you down. Besides, you're a parselmouth and if that's not a sign you should be in Slytherin I don't know what is.

You're boyfriend,

Dylan

'Who's it from?' Lily asked as she noticed the growing look of anger on Erin's face.

'Dylan.' Erin spat the word out as if it was dirty, 'That… That COMPLETE WANKER called me his… his girlfriend! Ugh! I wouldn't go near him with a ten-foot pole! He has the nerve to… UGH! He thinks that just because I can talk to snakes I'm head-over-heals in love with him! Oh wait till I get my hands on him. I'll….I'll…Urgh!' Erin's dark green eyes flashed dangerously.

'Let me see that!' Lily snatched up the letter before Erin could stop her. She quickly scanned it, her face growing darker with every line she read.

'Mudblood! Well, I never! This loser has to get his head out of his arse long enough to realise that the world doesn't revolve around him! Just ignore it, Erin. He's not worth your time.'

'Agreed, but that's not going to stop me beating the living crap out of him when we get back to Hogwarts. Dylan Saunders is going down.'

'So you have to hit the little balls into the holes with the stick?'

'Yep, first one to sink all their balls wins.'

'This is going to be easy.'

'So you think, Black.'

Christina had just spent the last ten minutes explaining the concept of pool to Sirius. She removed the triangle off the balls and lined up her cue. She expertly swung the cue to hit the white ball. The white ball raced down the table and hit the other balls, sending them flying in every direction. Sirius was looking particularly smug.

'You didn't sink any balls.'

'So? It was only my first go.'

Sirius attempted to line his cue up the way he had seen Christine do moments earlier. He took a wild swing and missed the white ball completely. Christine smirked. This was going to be easy.

'Ten galleons on the outcome of this game.'

'You're on, Chris. Anything you can do I can do better!'

Christine smirked again. She had a strange feeling that by the end of the night she would be ten galleons richer. Being muggleborn had its advantages.

A/N: So… Chapter 4. What did everyone think? Next chapter they go to the muggle school! Hehehe! Anywayz I'll update as soon as some reviews roll in.
