Disclaimer: Like said before, I own nothing…although; I do own Will, Sasha, Maria, Lily (the second one) and Alex. And all the other second generation, for that matter…But honestly, d'you think I'd be here if I owned the great Harry Potter? Nooo, I'd be making Sirius Black my completely devoted slave and boyfriend. Jeez! You people…honestly!

"JORDAN!" Lily shrieked, as the cocoa skinned boy landed his broom in front of the Leaky Cauldron. "I can't believe you!" She grabbed a fistful of his jet dreadlocks, and pulled. Hard. He let out a rather shrill yelp, and jerked his head away. "What are my PARENTS going to think? You kidnapped me!"

"Sh!" Will said, his black eyes darting around nervously. "Let's just go in!" He pulled the luggage compartment his parents had attached to his broom, a Gold Phoenix, the newest model, from below the handle, and dragged it to the doorway. "You wanna grab your stuff from in here?" He asked, looking pointedly at the small, turquoise witch's suitcase. Lily smirked, picked it up from the compartment, and strode into the inn. Will sighed, and followed, his broom in one hand, suitcase in the other.

Sasha and Maria were waiting in the pub with Alex. Not unto Lily's surprise, Maria was giggling at one of Alex's feeble jokes, told only for Maria's benefit. Sasha was grumbling something about friends losing their heads over boys, while twisting a lock of her chestnut curls around one finger. "LILY!" Sasha exclaimed, jumping to her feet and rushing to the door, where her friend stood, a bemused expression flitting across her delicate features.

"Sash!" Lily exclaimed, in mimic of her best friend's look of complete and total relief and delight. Maria groaned, and stood up, Alex following suit. Will and Alex engaged in conversation, pulling the three girls' suitcases up, along with their own luggage. Lily, Maria, and Sasha followed them up.

"So, who gets what room?" Maria asked as the entered one room. There were two rooms, joined by a door in between. Both rooms had one bed. "Oh lovely. Looks like we're sharing beds. Is there a sofa in either room?" She inquired. Both Lily and Sasha knew from experience that neither would share a bed with Maria. She kicked, punched, moaned, groaned, and snored. All of those actions from one very delicate looking young woman.

"We'll share!" Sasha and Lily said in unison almost immediately. Maria glared at them, then at the two boys, who stated that they too would share a room, but that Maria was more then welcome to sleep with them.

"You two are awful!" Lily declared, after Maria declined their invitation with an icy evil eye. "I suppose we'll have to ask Tom to conjure up another bed." Tom the barman still worked at the Leaky Cauldron, after all those years. It still astounded Lily to know how old that barman was.

"I'll go ask him then, shall I?" Alex asked, already heading towards the door. Maria went with him. Lily and Sasha started setting up their bed things. Suddenly, Sasha emitted a piercing scream.

"What's wrong, what happened!" Lily cried as she followed Sasha into the bathroom.

"We have to share a bathroom…with the BOYS!" Sasha said weakly.

"You can't be serious!" Lily and Will said at the same time, totally flabbergasted.

"Oh yes I am!"

Lily began to hit her head against the wall, when a majestic snowy owl flew through the window, landing with a clatter on the toilet. "Oh! Hedwig!" Lily cried out. "Dad's going to kill me!" She whimpered, then turned on her heel to face Will with an abrupt sharpness. "You! You are going to help me explain to my dad why he didn't take me here, and why you pulled me out of my window, popped me on the back of your broom, stuck my suitcase in your luggage compartment, and flew me halfway across Britain to the Leaky Cauldron!"

Will tried to hide his rather smug smile, but wasn't at all successful. "Sorry Potter! I just couldn't resist. Besides, Sasha dared me too." Lily immediately switched her icy green gaze to Sasha, who had dropped her chocolate eyes to the floor, although a wide smile had flitted across her face, but fell off immediately at Lily's distraught and rage-filled expression.

"Sorry Lils." Sasha muttered. "We'll add a message each at the end of your owl, shall we?" She said, looking fiercely at Will. Lily's eyes and expression softened, and she hugged her best friend, only turning to Hedwig when the snowy owl began pecking the back of her head.

"OW!" She trilled. "Okay, let's read this." Lily said as she took the letter. "I'll read it aloud." She informed Sasha and Will.

"Lily.

Where in Merlin's name are you! I was going to bring you to the Leaky Cauldron. I suspect that you are in fact there. As Sasha, Maria, Will and Alex are probably reading this as well, I ask whoever aided you in leaving without me knowing come here so I can hit them over the head with my broomstick. Oh Lily, don't give me that look, I'm only joking.

Owl me back if you get this, and as your mother is going crazy with worry, could you possibly explain how on Earth you got to the Leaky Cauldron so quickly? Oh, and say hi to Tom the barman for me, please.

Love Dad."

Will shrugged, "Well, at least it wasn't a Howler." He grinned, "I'll write a thrilling tale of how you got here, involving you falling out your window, when you swooned upon seeing my flying to get you. I had to daringly catch you while on my broom, then I flew you to the Leaky Cauldron." He mimed it all with a dreamy expression.

"And her luggage just appeared here did it?" Maria said sarcastically as she and Alex came back into the room. By the look of Maria's swollen lips, and Alex's mussed hair, they'd been snogging.

"Cute lips Maria." Sasha said, winking. Maria looked puzzled at first, but then clamped her hand over her mouth, looking positively embarrassed, and a little scared too. "We won't tell your dad Maria." The African-American girl said, exasperated. "We don't want Alex dead. By the way Alex, you might want to comb your hair."

Will and Lily were laughing, holding onto the bedposts, window-frame, dresser, and each other to stay upright. Once they started breathing again, Lily cleared her throat. "I'd better write my dad now."

She grabbed a pen, and wrote a small message.

"Dad, Jordan came and got me. On his broom. Decided it'd be much more fun then floo-ing. Personally, getting whipped everywhere on a Gold Phoenix is not my idea of fun. I'm fine, Sasha, Maria, Alex, and Jordan are obviously here, and we're having lots of fun.

Love Lily.

P.S.: Jordan claims I swooned and fell out a window when I saw him. It's not true. Actually, Sasha dared him to come, but whatever. Love you Daddy!"

"No fair!" Jordan hollered, "That's not how I wanted to tell it!" Sasha cuffed him over the head, while Alex just patted his shoulder.

"Tough mate." Alex said, while fixing his hair.

"Honestly Alex, you spend more time fixing your hair then I do." Will exclaimed.

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Stop it!" Sasha bellowed. "You two are just as bad as the Marauders were."

"Tell us the story Lily!" They all exclaimed, upon hearing 'Marauders'. Despite the fact that she'd never been there, she could tell the story better then Remus.

"My grandfather was named James Potter. He was best mates with Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. Now, Remus was a werewolf. After discovering this, James, Sirius, and Peter became Animagi. James, a stag, Sirius, a wolf, and Peter became a rat. They named themselves the Marauders, and had nicknames: Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Moony. They created a map of Hogwarts, the Marauder's map. I still have it actually. But anyways, James loved a girl named Lily Evans. She hated him. Eventually, in their seventh year, when both were Head Girl and Boy, she loved him back, and the two got married after leaving Hogwarts. They had my Dad, who defeated Lord Voldemort a gazillion times, and here I am." She said, sighing.

The four others laughed. "HEY! We should become like…our own group! We need nicknames, and a name for the group." Alex exclaimed.

"Maria should be 'Snog Lips'." Sasha teased. Maria flew at her, and began to pummel her with a pillow. "I was joking!" Sasha said through pillow whacks.

"What animal d'you think Maria is most like?" Lily asked suddenly.

They pondered that for a few minutes, until Sasha cried out, "A horse! She's graceful, and tall, with her beautiful long brown hair. I say she's a horse." As the others nodded their agreement, "What nickname does that give her?"

"Hmm…Whithers?" Lily suggested.

"I like that." Maria said, grinning. "It works, because my Patronus is a horse."

"Let's use our Patronuses!" Will exclaimed.

"Yeah!" agreed Alex.

"Mine's a cougar." Sasha said, "What should my name be?"

"Tiger-eye. It's the colour of their pelt." Will said, superiorly.

After a long discussion, Lily's nickname was Rainbow-plume, as her Patronus was a parrot. Will became Scales, a crocodile being his Patronus. Alex was Sunmane, his Patronus a lion.

"Don't worry Gin, she's fine." Harry said as he lay in bed with his wife, who was still repeating things along the line of 'Stupid Jordans.'

"Mmm, I know. We'll have to pack her things, and bring them to King's Cross when we meet her Sunday." Harry nodded, and gently kissed her. "Let's go to sleep." Ginny finished, turning into her husband's side, so her head rested on his shoulder. Within minutes, she slept soundly.

Harry smiled, and then the comforting shores of sleep to beckoned him too.

So-so-so-so sorry for not updating in a while. Many thanks to my two most faithful readers, Aria-wolfstar and Fairy-GYAKUTENNO-MEGAMI. You two are great. Thanks also to Mz Hellfire.
