A/N: Hey, I'm back! (Play's scary music in background. haha jk) Well, hope you have fun reading this chapter.

Black For President : This chapter is a long one. I didnt mean for it to come out like that but I had to put in all the things i promised! Well, anyways, I know i didnt put much in the party but it was taking up a LOT of space along with Aiden's bday party. I'll make the next party better because it's Robyn's! My second favorite character in the story. How it turned out like that, I have no idea.

littlecutie007 : Aiden's more of an idea person then James is. He just finds a way to carry it out! Oh, andI noticed i didnt put it on but Aiden's Birthday is on November 14 (my bday! how convinient) and Robyn's is December 6


Robyn, Keira, Lily and Aiden were upstairs, getting ready for the party. When they came downstairs, the Marauder's couldn't take there eyes off them.

Robyn had on a baby blue camisole layered on a white one with a denim mini skirt and her honey blonde hair was up in a ponytail. She was smiling as Remus asked her for a dance, which she quickly accepted.

Lily had a green halter top with white pants and her fire red hair was put up in a messy bun. Her eyes were on James who blushed slightly under her gaze, "That was sweet James. Do you want to dance?" With that, they were off.

Keira had on a purple sundress with a white ribbon belt and her raven black hair was down in curls as she made her way through the crowd, probably to grab a drink.

Aiden was last, wearing hip hugger jeans and a black shirt with white letter that said, 'I'm multi-talented. I can talk and piss you off at the same time.' Her cappuccino hair was in two French braids and her eyes rested on Sirius who was grinning at her, "Care for a dance?"

Aiden seemed to think for a minute and his grin faltered a bit. She giggled, "What a stupid question. Let's go!"

As Aiden danced closely to Sirius, she noticed that most of the Gryffindor girls were glaring at her. She snuggled closer to Sirius, enjoying the jealous looks she was getting; it was fun to mess with people's minds.

Keira was at the refreshment table, dozen's of thoughts running through her mind. She was thrown out of her thoughts though when a smaller girl with the same raven black hair and bright brown as hers she immediately groaned inwardly. "What do you want Karen?"

Karen just smiled sweetly, "I just wanted to see if you could help me get a dance with James."

Keira rolled her eyes, "Just because you're my sister doesn't mean I'll help you with that. James isn't interested Karen, he likes Lily anyways."

Karen eyes darkened and she looked over to her two friends, "Come on Mallory, Sarah, Keira is being an ass."

Keira rolled her eyes at the girl, "Don't be so stuck up. Bye Beaufort, Herd, now, where was I?"

Keira took another swing of butterbeer and smiled, this party was turning out to be better then the other ones.

Robyn danced close with Remus and she looked up in his amber eyes, "So did you like the game?"

Remus chuckled, "With you doing the Wronski Feint? It was the best yet!"

Robyn giggled, "Yea, Aiden helped me learn it this summer when she and James came back from Italy."

Remus furrowed his brows, "You live near her?"

Robyn blushed, "With her actually. Sirius and I spent some time at Potter Manor, not wanting to wait at there separate houses for them to come back."

Remus shrugged it off, "They went to Italy you say? The sun did Aiden some good."

Robyn laughed, "Yeah, she was really pale. She lost the glasses and wears contacts now and her hair is behaving now."

Remus nodded, "You know, I think she would do Sirius some good."

Robyn shrugged, "They'd both do each other some good if they'd open there eyes. Sirius is too stubborn and Aiden is preoccupied helping other then herself."

Remus nodded and they danced in silence.

After several minutes, Aiden winked at James who nodded and excused himself from Lily. He walked over to the table and stood on it, gathering everyone's attention. The music stopped and everyone was watching him with interest. "Today we played a great game. I know a lot of you saw the fireworks and this is part II. Lily, this is for you."

Lily blushed and Aiden slipped out of Sirius arms and she waved her wand. Some music started playing and James began singing:

She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after

Lily rolled her eyes at this but couldn't help but smile at James out of tune voice. It was really sweet to do this.

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

When Karen heard this, she was upset, she had liked James since she was first year and she wasn't going to give up just yet. She made her way through the crowd, ready to claw Lily but Keira saw this and tackled her baby sister to the ground and she muttered a silencing and stunning spell on her sister. Aiden gave Keira a thumb up and Aiden grinned as Keira took Karen upstairs.

She can't keep a secret
For more than an hour
She runs on 100 proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do?
I'd do anything for her

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for

Lily blushed as James stuck out his hand to her and she hesitantly grabbed it and she was pulled onto the table with him. He started twirling her around and she giggled despite herself.

And when she sees it's me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
Cause every word she's ever said
Is still ringin' in my head
Still ringin' in my head

She's cold and she's cruel
But she knows what she's doin'
Knows just what to say
So my whole day is ruined

Lily rolled her eyes at this, she knew she had been mean to James before but she didn't think he'd take it to heart. James kissed her forehead softly making her blush more as there was whistles and catcalls throughout the room.

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more

Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
Oh, I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for

I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin' for
I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for

When he finished, he pressed his lips to Lily as the two kissed in front of everyone who was grinning with 'finally' going through the room. Aiden laughed and put the music back on.


Robyn, my other best friend, she was my first friend actually, which might explains why we're so much closer then Lily or Keira. I remember each moment where she was cheerful, and each moment she was upset, always for the same reason. One time stuck out in my mind though, the time I wasn't there for her, but someone else was. Then there was Keira, what was she hiding from us?

Robyn was sitting in the Astronomy Tower, tears flowing down her cheeks. She had run off during dinner when Bellatrix Black made a nasty comment about her parents and no one except Aiden, Lily and Keira knew why she was upset.

Aiden wasn't the first one to get up; it was actually Remus, "I'm just going to check up on her. You guys take care of Bella."

Sirius was upset about his cousin making such a comment but Aiden was first to get to her. She tackled the girl to the floor and placed her hands on her neck, chocking her only slightly. Everyone was silent as the Professor's were trying to get up fairly quickly, trying to stop the fight from happening. Too late, Bellatrix had slapped Aiden pretty hard that made her let go and she pulled her hair. Aiden wasn't done yet though, she punched Bellatrix on the nose and kicked her in the stomach that made her let go, "DON'T YOU EVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN YOU BLOODY HAG!"

The Professor's tried to break it up but Aiden and Bellatrix were moving too quickly for them. Punches were thrown and soon the hall was chanting 'fight, fight, fight'.

Both girls were seeing red and they finally stopped in mid punch. "SILENCE! You two girls, I am deeply ashamed of you both. Miss Black, hold your tongue, I know it must be hard for you, no one must speak about another student in this school and if I hear it again, you will be expelled. Miss Ballard, I am disappointed that you started this Muggle fight and couldn't hold your temper. I know you were trying to defend your friend but this is unacceptable. Detention for two weeks, both of you, and if it happens again, you will both be expelled for sure."

Dumbledore's voice was strangely calm yet with much force that no student or teacher has ever heard and it scared everyone. Aiden and Bellatrix were unfrozen and they went there separate ways, Aiden heading out of the hall, trying to find Robyn.


When Aiden got to the Astronomy Tower, she opened the door slowly and closed it behind her and she saw Remus holding Robyn. He looked up at her and furrowed his brows, "What happened to you?"

Aiden shrugged it off and was by Robyn's side, "Are you alright? Does Remus know?"

Robyn smiled weakly and shook her head, "I wanted to tell all the boys at the same time so I don't have to repeat it." Robyn took another look at Aiden and she glared, "Don't tell me you got in a fight with her!"

Aiden sighed, "It's no big deal, really."

Robyn glared at her now, "No big deal? You're lip is bleeding and your right cheek is bruised!"

Aiden then grinned, "Bella is worse off with a swollen eye, a busted lip, and maybe a broken rib."

Robyn frowned before breaking out into a grin and she hugged her friend. Remus rolled his eyes, "Alright, now I thought this was supposed to be a tragic story!"

Aiden and Robyn laughed while Robyn pinched Remus cheeks, "Is little Remy sentimental now?"

Remus pouted and Robyn kissed him lightly which he blushed brighter then a tomato. Aiden grinned at the two and the door burst open to reveal Sirius, James, Lily and Keira, who were all out of breath, "W-We w-w-were looking a-all o-over for you!"

Lily and Keira immediately went over to Robyn to make sure she was ok, which he confirmed before Aiden let out a cough, "its story time for these boys."

Robyn smiled weakly, "Well once upon a time, there was a princess in a castle…"

Remus rolled his eyes, "Not that story!"

The girls giggled before Robyn turned serious, "Well, you see, you know how I'm a Half Blood…" everyone nodded there head and she continued, "Well my mother was a witch and my father was a muggle. When she was giving birth to me, she died, but not before naming me after her mother. My father went into a deep depression until he died several months later and I was sent to an orphanage. End of story."

Robyn turned around and looked out at the stars as fresh tears welled up in her eyes. James, Sirius and Remus were shocked. They would have never guessed this. Aiden nodded to Remus and pulled the others out of the Astronomy Tower so they could have some time alone.

James nodded to Aiden before clearing his throat, "Want to go for a walk Lily?"

Lily nodded, not really paying attention as they walked away, James snaking an arm around her waist. Keira had long before left and Sirius and Aiden were left. "Where's Peter?"

Sirius shrugged, "He hasn't been with us for several weeks now. He might have found himself a girlfriend."

Aiden and he grinned; Peter having a girlfriend was like saying James was gay. They laughed and soon Aiden winced at the pain, "Let's get you to Madam Promfrey."

Aiden shook her head, "Sirius, I'm fine. I told you, let's just go to the common room and wait for everyone."

Aiden began walking off but not before Sirius picked her up, cradling her in his arms and she began to struggle, "Sirius, this isn't funny! Let me go, I don't want to go to the hospital wing!"

Sirius rolled his eyes and started walking away, "You need too; I think you might have broken your knuckles."

Aiden looked down at her hand and saw it was bruised badly and she couldn't move it. She groaned; it was going to be a hard night.


The next day was a Saturday and Lily was the first one up. She walked into the common room to see Robyn and Remus cuddling on the couch, talking in whispers while kissing sometimes. Lily smiled and walked back up, planning on taking a nice long shower. When she was done, she walked back in to see Aiden wasn't in the room. She frowned and saw Keira wasn't either; did they come back at all this morning? "Hey Lils, what's shaking?"

Lily turned around to see Robyn smiling. Lily sighed, "Did Keira or Aiden come back last night?"

Robyn frowned, "I don't know about Keira but Aiden was forced to go to the hospital wing, Sirius orders."

Lily giggled and then the door opened and Keira stood, stunned, "I—Uh—well, hi?"

Lily and Robyn looked at her appearance; it looked like she hadn't slept all night. "What were you doing? Where were you?"

Keira laughed hesitantly, "I was—out."

And with that, Keira left the room, leaving a confused Robyn and Lily.

Sirius came bouncing down the stairs, seeing the three girls on the couch he jumped on the table, "TODAY WE GO TO HOGSMEADE!"

Lily rolled her eyes, "About time your peanut sized brain figured it out."

Sirius clearly ignored her comment and the snickers from the other girls, "Well lovely Lily, would you do me the honors of going to Hogsmeade with my good pal James?"

Lily blushed and she immediately saw James run down the stairs, "PADFOOT DON'T DO IT… oh, too late."

Lily and James blushed and looked away while Sirius just grinned and jumped off the table, walking out of the common room, heading to the hospital wing.

When he reached it, he saw Aiden try to close the door slowly. "Hey Aiden, what are you doing?"

Aiden jumped and turned around and looked around hysterically, "The woman is trying to kill me in there with boredom! I need to get out and I need now, come on!"

Aiden grabbed Sirius hand and they ran off. When they rounded the corner, they could hear here shouts, "MISS BALLARD YOU GET BACK IN HERE! YOUR HIP HASN'T FULLY HEALED YET!"

Sirius grinned, "I could help with that."

Sirius picked her up while running and she giggled, "My knight in shining armor, except you smell like dog."

Sirius glared at her playfully before they both started laughing and they went through the portrait. Everyone looked at them questionably and Sirius accidentally dropped her. She growled and got up, rubbing her bottom, "First you pick me up and drag me to Madam Promfrey, then you steal me away while carrying me so I don't further injury myself but then you drop me. So much for Knight in Shining Armor."

Everyone laughed while Sirius grinned and Aiden glared. She went upstairs and Sirius shrugged, "I don't see why she's so upset."

Keira threw a pillow at him, "You dropped her you nit wit."

Sirius shrugged, "It happens a lot. I mean just yesterday James…"

James and Lily both threw a pillow at him and he chuckled as Lily was red with anger and James was trying to hide behind Remus. "Ha, Ha, very funny Black, you'll get yours today, don't worry."


When they were off for Hogsmeade, James and Lily held hands while walking ahead of the others. Aiden had become a little testy after the morning and Sirius was beginning to worry. Robyn pulled him in and whispered so the four (Keira, Robyn, Remus and Sirius) heard her, "Tomorrow's Aiden's birthday, she must have realized it this morning. She always gets like that."

Keira nodded to Robyn, "I'll keep her company while you all buy her the presents, the big blowout will be tomorrow."

Remus cleared his throat, "Where are we going to have her party? We want it to be private, right?"

Robyn nodded, "I was thinking the Astronomy Tower."

Sirius rolled his eyes, "We'll make reservations in the Three Broom Sticks."

Keira looked at Sirius suspiciously, "But we're not going to Hogsmeade tomorrow, we're not allowed out of the castle."

Sirius winked and the girls had a bad feeling about this.


Keira walked with Aiden through Hogsmeade before Aiden and Keira settled in the Three Broom Sticks for a drink, "So where were you yesterday?"

Aiden calmly sipped her hot butterbeer and Keira laughed nervously, "What are you talking about Aiden? In Gryffindor Tower."

Aiden shot Keira a look and Keira sighed, "Alright, I didn't want to tell you this until later but, I'm dating someone."

Aiden nodded, "I know."

Keira frowned, "I know that you won't be happy with you and I wasn't sure how you'd take it."

Aiden nodded, "I know."

Keira sighed, "I mean, I don't want you to think I'm some kind of weirdo."

Aiden growled, "Keira, shut up, I know who you're dating."

Keira flushed, "Sorry, I just thought… wait, you know? How long?"

Aiden smiled, "Since yesterday. I was trying to sneak out when I saw you two talking and kissing. I thought it was weird at first, but it all made sense and you two looked… happy."

Keira gave Aiden a huge hug, "Oh I love you so much!"

Aiden grinned, "Well Keira, I don't think he'd be too happy with it, plus I don't swing that way."

Keira playfully hit Aiden and the two laughed and continued drinking butterbeer, talking about anything that came to mind.

An hour later, Sirius, James, Remus, Lily and Robyn came in and sat with them, "So what did we miss?"

Aiden shrugged while Keira looked at her, wondering if she'd tell or not, "We walked into some stores, then into some more stores, came in here for a butterbeer and talked and talked and talked, it was so exciting."

Everyone grinned, they shook there heads at Aiden's sarcasm and walked back up to the castle.


The next day Aiden slept in and it was noon now. Sirius was picked to keep her company while the others got her party ready. Sirius went up the stairs and creaked the door opened and walked in, trying to be as quiet as possible. He held a breath and he slowly stepped over her trunk and went to open her hangings slightly. "Boo."

Sirius yelped and stepped back, causing him to trip over her trunk and fall to the ground with a thud. He had tangled himself in the clothes on the floor and Aiden smirked, "So what are we doing today before my surprise party?"

Sirius pouted as he finally got the last clothing off of him, "You weren't suppose to know. Hence the surprise part."

Aiden laughed and rolled around in her bed, "I'll act real surprise. I promise! Anyways, Robyn already knows I know anyways."

Sirius gaped, "Robyn TOLD you?"

Aiden shook her head, "Robyn always throws me a party on my birthday, it's a tradition with all of us actually."

Sirius shook his head and got up, rubbing his now sore bottom and she laughed, "Come on, lay down with me. I don't fee like doing anything."

Sirius sighed and plopped down on the bed and saw she was looking up at the ceiling. He followed her gaze and saw there on the ceiling was the Marauder's Map. "How did you know about it?"

Aiden giggled, "James is my cousin. So naturally I know all about it and how you are all animagus. Oh look, James just tripped over his own feet. Pathetic isn't he?"

Aiden and Sirius laughed as they laid down, watching the dots run around while it gave details about what they were doing. They disappeared from the map and Aiden stretched, "I guess the party's now?"

Sirius nodded and they got up and Aiden looked around. "I'm just going to get dressed and we can go. Meet me downstairs."

When Aiden came down, she was wearing a green shirt with pink letters saying, 'Hold me, Kiss me, Love me, or just buy me a freaking fire whiskey.' He chuckled at her choice of shirt and she grinned, "Girl's can have fun too, let's go."

Aiden had the map with her and they successfully got to the Three Broom Sticks where it was decorated with pink and green balloons with a banner saying, 'Happy Birthday Dennie' Dennie was crossed out though and on top it had 'Denny'. Aiden laughed, "I bet James tried to do the banner."

Lily scowled at James who shrugged, "I didn't know she'd notice."

They laughed and Aiden hugged all of her friends and they sat down in a round table. "Let's open presents first; then have fun."

Aiden sighed as Keira handed her a gift. By the end of it, she had gotten personal parchment and quills from Keira, books from Lily and Remus, some Jelly Beans and Twizzlers (which she thanked Robyn immensely since she was running low on it), a diary from James, a charm bracelet from Sirius, an invisibility cloak from her aunt and uncle, and a crystal chess set from her parents which was engraved, 'To our beautiful daughter on her birthday. Love Mum and Dad.' Aiden thanked everyone and they were about to move on when Dumbledore came in. Everyone went pale but his smile and twinkling eyes gave them some hope. "Miss Ballard, I hope your enjoying your birthday?"

Aiden nodded her head slowly and Dumbledore chuckled, "Don't worry, this stays here. I do not wish to punish you. I came here for a gift. Keep it in your room or he'll cause trouble."

Behind Dumbledore Aiden saw was a Niffler. Aiden squealed and hugged the Niffler and James blinked a couple of time along with Robyn who said at the same time, "Is that Echo?"

Aiden kissed the Niffler and then hugged Dumbledore, "I didn't think you'd let me keep him here but thank you."

Dumbledore chuckled and was off. James frowned, "Does your parents know?"

Aiden shrugged, "Who cares, Echo's here."

Echo looked around curiously and sniffed the Jelly Beans curiously and Aiden snatched them away, "Mine, here, have some Twizzler's that you love so much."

The Niffler was chewing happily on it and everyone laughed.


Hey well that was long and I hoped you liked it, especially the fight with Bellatrix. I really hated her so i wanted her to get hurt badly and well, Robyn was up crying, Lily is more of a talker, Keira is more of a sweetheart and since Aiden is supposed to be tough (her name does mean firey) i put that in there. I dont like Karen and she's important to the plot to if any of you dont like her and want me to kill her off, cant. Anyways, here's some things to look forward to in the next chapter, Girls night, Robyn's bday party, DADA class and duelling club, Christmas vacation with some fun and games, and then a heartbreak at the end. I dont want to write it but I have to, it's important so, yeah, the chapter will end on Christmas day. Oh, you might even find out who Keira is dating, can anyone take a guess? Maybe you can think of the next sweet thing Aiden thinks up for James to do for Lily, i want one more in before they get together. (Next chapter is going to be extremely long since i have to fit everything in...thats going to be a tad bit hard)
