So thank you for the reviews (am I allowed to thank you guys for that now or what? Im confused on that new rule thing) anywho check my profile once in a while to see when I can update, cause I will most likely have it on there when I can!

Oh and by the way…Lilo and Stitch 2 kinda sucked….Stitch was funny of course but it didn't really have a plot…..

I have this quote on the back of my lettermen's jacket…I like it!

God gave us two ends.

One to think with and one to sit on.

Success depends on which one you use;

Heads you win, tails you lose.

Alyssa jumped to look out the window, since she heard the garage door open.

"Who in the world is driving my car?" she shrieked.

"What?" Ginny asked tying a string to a plastic spider's leg and then making the string invisible.

"Oh! It's Hermione and Ron! The drove my car home from school!"

"Okay, well I'll just pop over to your school and bring back Harry and Tonks," she said hurriedly sticking the string with the spider to the ceiling over Ron's bed. She jumped off the bed, straightened the covers, then with a pop she was gone.

"Hermione? You let Ron drive?" Alyssa practically screamed, running her hand over the bumper of her car a little bit later in the garage. Her car had now about ten dents that it hadn't had when she had last seen her 'Herman' (A/N: what can I say? I love the Munsters, plus me and Katie named a dove that always sits on top of my garage Herman!).

"Well he did drive to Hogwarts once…" she said quietly and very un-Hermione like.

"Am I the only one that remembers that that car was magical!?You CAN fix it right?"

"For the most part," She said and pointed her wand at it, while mumbling a spell. Most of the dents disappeared, but barely a shadow was left of each one. Alyssa went and looked the car over and groaned

"Dad's still going to kill me!"

The door that connected the garage to the house opened and Harry, Tonks, and Ginny rushed through.

"You all okay?"

They all answered yes, except Alyssa.

"No! The killed Herman!"

"Who in the name of Merlin's beard is 'Herman?"' Ginny exclaimed looking around for him. Alyssa pointed to her yellow car where all the dents were.

"Your car is Herman?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah!" Alyssa said as it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Oh well, thank you guys, for everything that is."

"You better be!" Harry said and smiled slightly as she gave him a hug, and then the rest of them all in turn one. When she got to Ginny she whispered, "Can you make it where you can only see it in the dark?"

Alyssa's parents got back home from their dinner about 11 that night. They all pretended to be asleep (Tonks had left and Ginny was spending the night). Ginny and Alyssa stayed up until about three, waiting for Ron to notice their spider, but they ended up falling asleep. Around 4:30, they woke up to screaming, and were awake enough to give each other a high five before falling asleep to Harry yelling,

"What's wrong?"

STARLOVER88:

So how did seeing your parents go this morning?

SLYTHERIN GIRL:

Same as always, "You're a disappointment" "I can't believe we have to do this" and my "dad" had a huge cut on his face. I asked him what happened and he got mad and left. My mother actually hugged me, and my brother just said "Can't wait until next time"

STARLOVER88:

Ew! I'm sorry! At least your adopted ones love you!

SLYTHERIN GIRL:

Yeah really. So how was the football game last night?

STARLOVER88:

Well before half time was okay, the second half required of me & HP running from Death Eaters trying to kill us or something, you get the point.

SLYTHERIN GIRL:

You okay!

STARLOVER88:

Yep, I'm fine. A little stressed, but that's it. BUT I've got a date to homecoming next weekend with the freaky guy, cause I set him up with September until then.

SLYTHERIN GIRL:

You poor thing!

STARLOVER88:

Yeah not too fun. Well they're getting up now, so I need to thank them again for saving my life….it just doesn't feel real since I've been reading it for five years, and not actually living it, or believing in it exactly.

SLYTHERIN GIRL:

LOL, yeah ttyl

"Are you actually cooking?" Harry asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"You got a problem with that?" Alyssa said smiling at him while making an omelet.

"No, I've just never seen you cook."

"Very true, but did I ever have time?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"Erm…"

"Exactly."

"So why are you now?"

"As my weird way of thanks."

"It was nothing – trust me."

"Oh no! Of course not! You only saved my life, you know that means nothing to me." she said very sarcastically.

"If only you knew," he mumbled forgetting about her hearing.

"If only I knew, what?" she asked very dangerously glaring at him, with one hand on her hip and the other holding up a spatula.

"I feel sorry for your kids if you ever have any."
"If I only knew what?" she said repeating herself and ignoring his comment.

"Standing like that, you look amazingly like my mother when she's yelling at Fred and George."

"What's with all the mother comments?" she replied and then glared again at Harry.

"So how long did it take for you two to figure out what we did?" Ginny asked as she sat down next to Harry at the kitchen table.

"It took me about thirty seconds after I put the silencing charm on the room."

"Ha! Alyssa you owe me a dollar!"

"What about Ron?" Alyssa pressed on.

"It took me about five minutes of comforting and convincing and showing him the plastic!"

"Ha! No see you owe me a sickle!"

Ginny cussed and handed over a sickle.

"You bet over your own brother?"

"Heh heh!" Alyssa said examining the sickle.

"Yeah…" Ginny moaned looking at the table. Alyssa handed her a five dollar bill.

"It's worth over a galleon, or at least it was two years ago…"

"I can't – "

"If you don't take it, I wont feed you breakfast, y'all like blueberry pancakes?" she responded, now going through the refrigerator, pulling stuff out.

"Sure."
"Wha's cookin'?" Ron said stumbling in looking extremely exhausted, still in his p.j.s.

"More like who!" Hermione said following him in, looking wide awake and very surprised.

"Don't dis' the good cook!" Harry said working on his second helping of omelet.

"Did you just say 'dis'?" Alyssa asked turning around and looking at him with amused look on her face.

"Yeah, why?"
"You are SO going American, but thanks for the complement," she responded and turned back to her pancakes, flipping them, and getting some omelet for Hermione and Ron.

"So how did you sleep last night Ron?"

"You two are evil," he mumbled, his forehead resting on the table. "I will get revenge!"

"Yes, what was all that racket?" Hermione asked then looked at Harry as he rolled his eyes, then spotted Ginny and Alyssa's grins. She turned back to Harry.

"Spider?"

"Yep."

"Thank you guys again."

"Fo' wha'?" Ron asked looking very confused how the conversation had gotten to where it was.

"For saving my life."

"It's okay Alyssa."

"You guys want your pancakes now?" Alyssa said getting up and bringing over a stack of at least 15.
