Chp.3- PARTAY!

A/N- Hey, all! Sorry it took so long to update, I've been really busy… --; Anyways, I thought I should get this up before Amanda (Prongs) kills me… Well, hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter… Sniffle, sniffle, sob, sob Well, I do own Cassie, Christopher, Timothy, Tiffany, and Kyle. My friend Prongs owns Amanda Riddle, Sarah, Lindsey, and Kelly (I changed their names, but the idea of them was Amanda's). Paddy owns Josie Paul!

I also wish to thank Prongs for betaing this story! She was very helpful, and her additions were great! (At least in my opinion! )

To explain the set-ups of romance and kids:

Sarah, Lindsey, and Kelly had been hooked up with Sirius, Peter, and Remus, but Lori divorced Peter when they discovered he worked for Voldemort. Kelly and Remus are married, with two sons, Christopher (13) and Timothy (7), and a daughter Tiffany (12). Lindsey has a son, Kyle (3, since Peter couldn't betray them, they were friends for a longer time). Sarah and Sirius are on again off again, they're now going for the record: 3 weeks. Okay, that's it, enjoy the story!

"This is so awesome!" Cassie squealed, and clapped her hands excitedly.

"I know, seriously, and not my cousin!" Josie squashed the joke before it was told.

Amanda sighed. "I wish Sirius was here right now. He's so cool!"

Amanda had met the two other girls in Diagon Alley, and Cassie and Josie knew each other through Sirius, as Josie was his cousin.

Cassie made sure the compartment door was closed and then whispered, "I can't wait to find that map Sirius told us about!"

"He did say it was confiscated… How are we going to get it?" Amanda reminded Cassie.

Josie grinned wildly. "It'd be worth getting in trouble to find it!" Her eyes sparkled mischievously.

"Or… we could just use the 'Accio' spell we learned in Diagon Alley," Cassie suggested.

"Oh." Josie looked crestfallen, but nonetheless agreed. "I guess that's okay…"

Amanda frowned thoughtfully. "It can't be that easy. Don't you think Sirius and James would've thought of that?"

Maybe," Cassie replied, "but maybe not. Who knows? And besides, together they're not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed…"

"So nice, talking that way about your dad," Amanda laughed.

"We should probably try to find some anti-protection spells… You know, in case the caretaker has wards around it," Josie interjected.

"But why would he do that? It's just a piece of parchment!"

"He got it from Sirius! Of course the guy would protect it!"

"Amanda's right," Josie agreed.

"Really? I'm right? Cool!"

"Don't get used to it Amanda…" Cassie muttered.

"Anyways…" Josie continued, "With James and Sirius, it's always better to be on the safe side."

"So we'll have to do a little undercover research… That'll be fun!"

"Maybe for you, Cass," Josie muttered under her breath as Cassie frowned at her.

Amanda added, "And it sounds safer for our records! We need to keep a clean slate if we're going to get away with all the pranks we're planning…"

"So, what do you want to do, James? We finally have the house back!"

"I don't know, Lils… Wait! I have an idea!" James suddenly cried out.

Lily smiled at her obviously excited husband. "And what's that, James?"

"We should have a party!"

"Hmm… Extreme… yet exhilarating…" Lily said thoughtfully.

"Umm… okay…" James said, slightly confused, "'nough of the big words! I'll call everyone!"

With that, James called Sarah, Lindsey, Kelly, Remus, Sirius, the Weasleys, the Pauls, and Kathryn (Amanda's mom). They had a party! (Hence what James said!)

Sarah and Lindsey were showing all of them the new dance moves that they had learned.

"No, Lily, like this!"

"Sirius, you're going the wrong way!"

"I'm… trying…" Sirius had his face screwed up in concentration, trying to follow the steps. Soon he gave up and collapsed on the couch. ("And you play Quidditch, Sirius! You're supposed to be the coordinated one!") It wasn't long before the rest followed, grabbing cans of sodas.

As they drank the sodas, they discussed their children going to school. (The younger kids were in a playroom in the Potter house.) While talking about the kids they somehow got onto the subject of Voldemort. Sarah, James, and Sirius informed the others of the supposed top-secrets they learned about from Auror duties. (Of course, they were supposed to keep it top-secret…)

"We have reason to believe he's in Romania," James told them.

"Oh? And what reason is that, Mr. Potter?" Lily asked cheekily.

"There have been many sightings… and many reported deaths…" Sarah interjected.

"This is insane! There are so many sightings, yet so little Voldemort!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Sirius?"

"Yeah, Lily?"

"That statement was…" Lily shook her head, "Extremely idiotic."

"Umm… your point?"

Lily looked at Sirius as though he was crazy. "Okaaaaaaaaaay …"

Talking about Voldemort got them worried about their children, and it was then that Lily remembered something.

"You better not have told them about the Marauder's Map, James," She narrowed her eyes at him.

"Don't worry, Lils, I'm not that stupid."

At this, Sirius looked concerned. "Uh… we weren't supposed to tell them about the map?"

"No, of course n… don't tell me you told them, Sirius!" Remus moaned.

"Okay, I won't tell you then."

"SIRIUS!" everyone screamed at once.

"Ow…" Sirius winced, covering his ears, "Ears hurt…"

A/N So how did you like it? It was an okay length, I think, though some of you still might not be satisfied… Well, I'll let you decide that, so read and review!
