Disclaimer; as I've said before.
Chappie 3;The match is struck.
Last time;
"See ya mum!" shouted Lily, god she was random! Why didn't she go to the shops before? Probably wanted to give me some time to think! Lily sat and stared at the fireplace. After about five minutes green flames appeared. Kerri stepped out of the flames, beaming.
"I've got a surprise for you!" she said in a singsong voice.
"Really!" smiled Lily, hugging Kerri and picking up her bag.
"Come on!" smiled Kerri, pulling Lily into the fireplace. "Black Manor!"
"whaaa!"
Now;
The fireplace spat out the two girls. Lily looked up from the floor. They were at the foot of a grand staircase. At the top of this stood.
"Black!" said Lily, standing up and turning to Kerkera, "is this where you've been sent to live!"
"Umm…not exactly. He brought me here," she insisted, the fire and fury behind Lily's eyes practically burning.
"You," she said, turning to Black again, "Did you kidnap her!" she shouted running up the stairs and pinning Black to the wall.
"No," he said simply.
"Are you related?" Lily demanded, getting frustrated, "And where are you parents, tell me now!"
"Lily, come in the lounge. I'll explain." Said Kerri calmly.
"Well," said Kerkera as Lily sat in an armchair in the expensive looking lounge, "I guess this is when we go into Flashback mode,"
Flashback; Kerkera's P.O.V.
I had sat in the station for about two hours, waiting for someone to come and get me. Soon it started to get dark. I knew no one would come. Obviously no one wanted me in his or her house. I thought briefly about going to my grandpa, he had offered to look after me at the funeral, but he's retired now and living off his savings. I couldn't ask him, I'd just be in the way. So that's when it hit me, if I could somehow live on my own for a while then everyone would be happy. So I left the station and took a bus to…I didn't know where. I had very little money so I paid the most I could. I ended up at the bus stop down the road. The forest was just about a mile up the hill. So I found a nice little place by the stream to pitch a tent. I magiced up the tent, obviously. It was food I was worried about. I hadn't learnt about that at school. So I got a job at the local shop. I got paid about £15 every week and some free loo roll. One day I was walking to work and I bumped into Sirius.
"Hi there," he smiled at me, "I didn't know you leaved near here," (a/n; Sirius' house originally stood on its own, the house around it appeared later on, due to the demand in housing. At least, that how I've made the story work!)
I told him I lived nearby, but I could tell he didn't believe me. I tried to avoid him for the whole week but about four days ago he saw me walking back to into the forest. He followed me and saw where I was living and then he insisted that I came back to live with him for the rest of the holiday. His parents had gone on holiday for the whole summer break and had forgotten to book for Sirius. So he had the house to himself
End.
"I now live here," grinned Kerkera, "I do the housework in exchange for my room."
"Hey hang on," said Lily raising her hands and shaking her head, "How come I've only just heard about this? Not only were you living in a tent but you didn't come to me for help and now your living in Black's house!"
"I'm sorry, but please," said Kerkera walking to Lily, "I'm fine. Thank you for being so concerned but really, I'm ok. Sirius has been great fun and my job is great too!"
"Yeah," laughed Sirius, "We never need too worry about lack of loo roll from now on!"
"Be grateful!" laughed Kerkera, playful whacking his head, "Unless I will take it all for myself and you will have nothing!"
"Aw yes," said Sirius, putting on a wise face, "But then in that situation I will convert to the what the old saying says."
"What saying?" asked Lily,
Sirius cleared his throat, "When you're sitting on the bog, and the toilet papers gone. Be a man and use your hand!"
"Pha!" snorted Kerkera, breaking into a laugh. Even though Lily found that kinda sick she had to hide her laughter.
"Oh yeah Kerkera, talking of bogs," said Sirius, sitting, "Could ya get the other guest rooms ready,"
"Why?" asked Kerkera, taking a deep calming breath, "Expecting someone?"
"Yeah, Jamsie and Moony are coming over," he said simply.
"WHAT!"
Lily had jumped up in shock. James, here? Why? Why?
"Why does he have to come!" she shrieked.
"He? Oh by that I'm guessing you mean James?" said Sirius, coolly, "Cos this is my house so I can have over whoever I like. Now, let me send you trunk upstairs," then he picked up Lily's suitcase and chucked it at the door. If you haven't guessed it hit the wall and fell to the floor.
"Why didn't it fly?" barked Sirius. Lily thought he might be joking, but his face was serious.
"It can't fly," said Lily, sounding like she was talking to an idiot. Well…she was.
"Why can't it fly? Is it stupid?"
"Sirius," sighed Kerkera, picking up the trunk and carrying it, "Don't you have to go be stupid somewhere else?"
"Not until four," he said simply, looking at his watch. Lily couldn't believe it; it was like she'd walked into a nut house. She followed Kerkera up the stairs in silence. They reach a door and Sirius opened it with a "You room m'lady"
It was a very nice room. A big four-poster bed, mirror, dressing table and elegant wardrobe were the main items in the room. Lily ran and jumped on the bed. She sunk into the red silken covers.
"Hey!" retorted Kerkera, "I just made that!"
"Oh my god! I am so sorry! I forgot!" apologised Lily, sitting up. "Hey wait a sec, this house is really clean and…well, in good nick, why did you need a housekeeper when there is surely a house-elf."
Kerkera and Sirius exchanged looks.
"I don't exactly get on with our house elf. But I'm just to kind to hurt him," said Sirius, trying to sound saintly.
"Liar," sighed Kerkera, "His parents took all the elves with them. And lets just say…the place needed looking after."
"It was a good thing we agreed that you would do the cooking too,"
"What!" said Lily, "You better not be making her work to hard Black! Kerri, you shouldn't have to do the cooking."
"Ok, I guess we'll do ok on all of Sirius' great burnt meals. Yes his burnt salad is his specialty, but lets not forget his burnt eggs and burnt toast, burnt rice, and oh the list is endless. But yes I guess we will do really well on our charcoal rich diet as-,"
But the doorbell cut her off.
" Coming!"
Kerkera jumped off the top of the stairs and landed cat like in front of the door.
"Hey Kerkera!" said James, "I heard Evans was here too?"
"Yeah," smiled Kerkera, "Yo! Lily! Sirius! Get your butts down here!"
James put on his usual smirk as Lily approached.
"Hey babe, ya miss me?"
Before Lily could retaliate there was a shout
"JAMSIE!"
They looked at the top of the stairs. Sirius was standing there, arms wide.
"Sirius!"
They started to run towards each other in some kinda weird slow-motion thing. Lily could swear she could hear Penny Lane in the background. Suddenly James and Sirius collided with each other at the bottom of the stairs. Picking themselves up they both gave a cough,
"So,"
"Yeah,"
"Umm,"
"Chicks,"
"Beer,"
"Pranks,"
"Straight," finished Sirius.
Lily and Kerri stared at each other.
"Ok that was really weird," and voice said.
Remus was standing in the doorway.
"Lounge?" suggested Kerkera.
"Cool," said James, eyes back on Lily.
"Oh, do you remember that one time back in third year when I got knock out cos I was flirting with that Julie girl when I should have been watching the bludgers?" laughed Sirius as everyone lounged in the drawing room after dinner.
"Oh yeah," smirked James at the memory, "Reminders me of one time when I got knocked out during a rounders match when I was ten."
Flashback;
James was standing in a daydream when the ball came his way. It landed right in front of him. He stared at it.
"James, pick up the ball!" shouted his team captain "James, pick up the ball! Come on James. Look, see he's rounding first! Come on James! Throw me the ball! JAMES PAY ATTENTION! GIVE ME THE BALL! Oh god, look he's rounding third! GOD DAMNIT JAMES! JUST THROW ME THE DAMN BALL! JAMES! JAMES! THROW THE GOD DAMN- oh no look he got a home run. Oh god Damnit James."
"Hey," said James, looking up from the ball, "I was distracted,"
End.
"Then he threw a god damn bat at my head and I passed out of two hours!"
"Serves you right!" glared Lily, "Why not just give him the ball?"
"Why? He was a prick! It was fun to annoy him!"
"Typical!"
"Aw come on!" pleaded James, "Anyway, Lily, our usually topic of chat. Will you go out with me?"
"No!" she shouted.
"This is like a battle," sighed James, "But don't fret, I will win you one day!"
"Wait, wait! I think I've heard this one before!" said Lily full up with sarcasm.
"I swear, every time you open your mouth it turns me on," flirted James,
"And every time you open your you sound like an idiot!"
Remus sat back to reading a book whilst the two argued. Kerkera was cleaning up the dinner plates. Yep the first day of Lily's visit was drawing to a close. Kerkera just had to make James and Remus' bedrooms up and then she could relax.
"Hey babe,"
Kerkera felt two hands run down her side. She gasped in surprise and turned to face Sirius.
"Umm…" she said, feeling his breath in the nook of her neck.
"Shall we take it from where we left off?"
"Umm…slow down er… big boy," she whispered, trying to remember what Lily had told her. You need to play with them, but play hard-to-get; it will make them want you more. "First I have to make the beds for James and Remus. You go have fun, but stay outta trouble," she said,
"Yes mummy," said Sirius in a sarcastic baby voice
