A.N: Yeesh…the weeks go by really fast don't they? And I've never known school to be as evil as it is at the moment! Here's the next update, sorry if it took so long, the next will probably be in 2 weeks time as I'm going on holiday tomorrow morning- Dubai, here I come! – And, for anybody that wants to know, London was brilliant and so was Les Miz.


All right, I'm at the pool now, though I should say James' pool really. It's at his villa- cough-mansion-cough- and it's huge! I saw it last night, but it was sort of dark so I didn't realise how big it was. The Potters own the place, it looks fairly Muggle from the outside but inside it's the height of wizarding splendour!

The boys had to coax me into the pool at first- I wanted to sunbathe- but I eventually gave in. They were busy jumping off the diving board; the grown-ups were talking- with the exception of my darling sister and her boyfriend, who were just glaring sullenly at me, as if it was my fault they were there. Petunia kept saying it was the worst holiday she had ever been on, but had to put up with it as Mom and James' mom were getting on so well.

I stripped off to my bikini and Sirius wolf-whistled, which caused James to turn around on the diving board, look at me and promptly fall off into the pool! I was laughing along with Sirius but I swear my face had turned as red as my hair! Then I went to the side of the pool and got in slowly- why does pool water have to be so cold?

We spent a few hours swimming, talking and ducking each other under the water. I found a lilo and went on it, despite protests from the boys- "What did Muggles invent them for?" "You're supposed to get in the pool, not on it!"- I told them a girl needed to relax after being with those two and the sulked and swam off into a corner of the pool, obviously plotting something.

You can probably guess what they did. Yep, that's right, they sneaked up on me- and just when I was beginning to get a tan too- turned the lilo over and tipped me into the water, laughing their heads off. My revenge was to swim after them and hold them under the water for as long as possible. Then I got out and lay on a sun bed, pretending to sulk.

That's where I am now, on the sun bed watching those two act like 5 year olds instead of 17. They still think I'm sulking, they can't see me writing in this all the while, with a smile on my face.


Sirius is now running for his life. He looked over my shoulder while I was writing- again sneaking up on me, those two are too good at that- and shouted over to James, "Oi! Prongs! Our dear Lily-flower is writing in this book about how much she loves you!" Both James and I blushed, avoiding each other's eyes- only because I was embarrassed, not because I liked him- and I hit Sirius over the head with my book.

James started laughing and then got pushed in the pool by Sirius. When James surfaced, he then jumped out of the pool with a mischievous glint in his eyes and Sirius started running. That's what they're doing now, chasing each other round the pool, with everyone else laughing their heads off. At the moment, all I can say is that it's been a very amusing day so far!

Birthday Count:5 days and 5 hours


A.N: So, what do you think of that? I got the idea for this chapter when I was on holiday with my cousins…a similar sort of thing happened, except it included a lot more dive-bombing and water fights, which my younger cousins won hands down. R+R!
