Chapter 3
Breakfast.
Lily
Lily awoke in a large bed and for a moment forgot where she was. Then she remembered that she's at Leah's Manor in probably the largest guest room she had ever seen. It was just to perfect here. The room she was in had everything she could possibly want, shelves and shelves of books, a large desk with lots of parchment and quills, even a personal bathroom with the bathtub fit for a queen. Lily even noticed the room SMELLED perfect, it smells like roses she thought, Oh no I forgot to bring my clothes! She ran to the closet to see that Leah had already filled the closet with wonderful clothes that fit almost magically to Lily's form. I guess Leah knew we were gonna come to her house SOMEDAY. A faint pop came from behind the girl.
"Look who decided to get up this morning. Hope you like the clothes my mom got." Leah said. Lily turned around.
"They are FANTASTIC!" She yelled and hugged her good friend. Lily put on a pair of hip-hugging jeans and a laced fringed tank top. Lily made her way to the kitchen by following the noise, she still hadn't gotten used to appartating everywhere.
"Good Morning, you must be Lily!" A short, cheery woman said. Lily guessed right away that this was Leah's mom; they had the same dishwater blonde hair and grayish eyes.
"Yes I am Lily, you must be Mrs. Hawk." Lily said politely to the woman.
"Yes that's me, but please do call me Andrea." She told her before getting back to serving the meal.
"Thanks for the breakfast Andrea." Anna said, grabbing some more pancakes.
"I see the Potter boy has his friends over. I might have to owl over there." What must be Mr. Hawk said from under his newspaper.
"Going to ask them to de-gnome again? Boy we sure had a lot of those pesky things last year." Leah said like it was nothing.
"We might. We have more gnomes then we did last year. It took them 3 days to do it last year. If you girls helping them you could do it in two. I will pay you guys 5 galleons a day." Andrea said.
"MUM! They just got here and you want to send them to work?" Leah asked.
"That sounds fine Mrs… I mean Andrea." Lily said.
"I was thinking of having them come by tomorrow. Can I borrow Gwen, Leah?" Andrea said.
"Gwen got mad that Constantine was here so I told her to take a flight. You can send it with Constantine though; I don't think Lily will mind." Leah told her mother.
"Yeah, you can use my owl. CONSTANTINE!" Lily hollered and the white and grey speckled owl appeared in the windowsill. "There he is for you."
"Thanks. Let me go write a short letter and send it over." Andrea said to the girls.
James
James woke up in his room to see that Remus and Sirius were betting on if the dream was about James and Lily dating or if they were married in his dream. Remus bet that the two were married, Sirius guessed dating. James awoke quietly and decided to shock the two friends.
"Actually, Moony and you are both right I guess, It was our wedding day. Thanks for waking me up though guys." James told them. Sirius and Remus jumped up from there seats.
"Good then neither of us lose 5 galleons." Padfoot told James. "I am straving lets go get some food."
"You are always hungry Padfoot, but I agree I am rather hungry." Moony replied. The three friends headed down to the kitchen. Maggie looked rather sad, someone she knew must have died, James thought.
"Mum, whats in the news today?" James asked.
"Well… here look." Maggie gave the paper to her son.
"Decorating Wizard, Lockhart died in freak silkworm incident." James read from the front page. All three boys started to laugh hysterically.
"Freak."laugh "SILKWORM"laugh "ACCIDENT!" more laughter Sirius said.
"Boys stop laughing, its terrible when a great wizard dies. Plus you all look like someone put the tickling charm on you." Maggie said and all boys stopped laughing.
"Dear, it is quite funny that the man died in an accident concerning silk. So what are you boys up to today?" George Potter asked.
"Well we really don't know yet, more quidditch maybe go swimming?" James told his father.
"I think that Leah might be using the qudditch pitch today. So remember to share or invite those girls into whatever game your playing." Maggie said.
"Leah is home? And there are other girls around?" Sirius asked his face turning a slight red at saying Leah.
"Yes, she is and there was to pretty young girls with her. One had GORGEOUS red hair and the other a dark brunette." Maggie told her boys. James started to grin. Lily was staying at Leah's manor! "I might have to see if they would help plant some flowers with me, for I am not the gardener I used to be. I will send an owl over there."
"Look its Lily's owl, JAMES!" Remus said as a white and grey owl appeared in the window. James rushed over to see the note was for his mother.
"Here mum. It's from Leah's mum." James muttered.
"Oh well, Mrs. Hawk wants you boys to help her and the girls de-gnome the garden over there. They will pay 5 galleons a day." Maggie told the boys. "So I will tell her you will be over tomorrow and that when the de-gnomeing is done they can come help me garden."
"We don't really get a choice there do we?" James asked. Secretly he was happy at the opportunity to spend days with Lily.
"Nope, guess not, but hey they are paying us!" Sirius said.
"Wonder if the girls are gonna go swimming…" Remus said, and then he noticed what he said and turned red.
"What a site that would be, Moony would be to embarrassed to look at the girls…" Sirius joked.
"At least he wouldn't be staring at their jugs." James said and got an evil glare from his mother.
"Well I am going to get changed for swimming." Sirius said and went up the stairs. James and Remus joined him soon afterwards.
