Wow people, here we are, at the end of my first fanfic!
Thank you to ALL my lovely reviewers!
Btw you HAVE to read the note at the end, VERY IMPORTANT!
Pinksparklez: Thanks, once again for reviewing! Yah, I am no spaniard! I know Brazilians speak Portuguese, but in my world (a very strange place!) they speak Spanish! Don't ask why... You must remember, just coz her family live in Brazil, doesn't mean they're Brazilian... Thanks for the advice on the Spanish btw! ( ;
An Anti-Sheep Cheese Muffin: Cool name! Thanks! I know, Sirius is sweet isn't he! ( :
Brianna Black: Yep, always hungry!
Well people are you reaaaaaaaaddyyyyyy!
Chapter 15-All back to normal!
When Sirius, Daphne, Lily, James, Carla and Remus all got back to Hogwarts, from Daphne's house, they were as relaxed and happy as they could be... and where Sirius was concerned, that was VERY happy!
"Prongs, Daph, Moony! Prongs, Daph, Moony!" Sirius was desperately trying to get their attention as he bounced up and down on the sofa in the Gryffindor common room, "Prongs, Daph, Moony?" he continued chanting their names as he slowly grew louder and louder,
"WHAT!" yelled Daphne, "In heavens name, what?"
"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY NEXT FRIDAY!" Sirius said excitedly "I'm gonna be 17 Daph, ME 17!"
"I know you're going to be 17, Siri," said Daphne patiently, "Do you want a party?"
"YEAH!" yelled James, "We could have a huge party here! All of Gryffindor! What do you think!"
James now looked as excited as Sirius.
"Yeah! I want to have a party!" Sirius said, seeming to decide to act his age (almost!)
"Ok then, Lily, Carla, Remus, James and ME will organise the party, Sirius, you're gonna have to stay out of the way..." Daphne laughed at the look on Sirius' face, "Of course you can help!" she rolled around laughing "Did you seriously think I wasn't going to let you help organise your own party!"
"Siriusly" he replied, smirking.

Organising a party was hard work!
Daphne stuck up a notice, on the Gryffindor notice board, that said
'Sirius Black's birthday is next Friday, and ALL Gryffindors are invited to a HUGE PARTY in the common room. It will start around 7:00pm and end at... well, we're not sure when it will finish, Gryffindor parties are unreliable...!'
This was the kind of notice that the Marauders used to advertise anything that they were doing; pranking, partying, selling their own made up products... It attracted attention as soon as anyone recognised James' narrow handwriting. Predictably, the whole of Gryffindor. Was soon talking about the upcoming party.

On the day of the party, Daphne and Sirius sneaked off to Hogsmeade (through the one-eyed witch at Hogwarts) and although they got a little 'side tracked' in the passage on the way, they returned with their large school bags stuffed with sweets and butterbeer.
Later on, when Sirius was in his dormitory getting a quill for Daphne (she had asked for one to get him out of the way for a minute) James turned to Daphne
"You need to keep him away from the common room for the next two hours." he said
Daphne raised her eyebrows suggestively "I think I know a pretty effective way to do that!"
James looked at her sternly and said "I have told you before not to put images like that in my head! It's scarring!"
Daphne looked at him and said "I don't have to imagine you and Lily snogging, you demonstrate wht it looks like all the time, IN FRONT OF ME!"
"You and Sirius are just as bad, if not worse!" Lily laughed,
"Fair point!"
Sirius came down the boys' staircase, "I can't find you a quill Daph,"
"Oh! That doesn't matter any more!" Daphne smiled, "Come with me, we're going on a walk..."
She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the common room.
Oo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oO
"Daph, where are we going?" asked Sirius, ten minutes later.
"Oh, you'll see..." Daphne said, her eyes flicking up the corridor, looking for a broom cupboard... Eventually she saw one. She opened it and pulled him inside by his tie. "This, is where we were coming to, Siri..."
"Aah, I understand" Sirius smirking and pulling her close to him. He bent his head, kissing her slowly, teasing her. He ran his hands through her hair, opening his mouth, allowing her entry.
Daphne gasped as he pulled her ever closer to him, she needn't worry about keeping Sirius 'busy' for the necessary length of time...
Oo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oO
James looked around the common room, deciding where to put which decorations.
Carla and Remus had just gone down to the kitchens, to collect the food (sausage rolls, pizza, y'know, party food!)
He glanced at Lily, who smiled back.
"Where do you reckon these streamers should go?" she asked brightly,
"Over there..." said James distantly. Lily looked at him in concern,
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, fine, now, let's see..." he started to help her decorate. Pretty soon the whole common room glittered and sparkled with magical decorations. James grabbed Lily, and was just giving her a congratulatory kiss when Carla and Remus came in.
"Ah, are we interrupting something?" smirked Remus.
James pulled away from Lily and said "Um, no!"
Remus laughed, "Here's the food!"
James' mouth fell open. "WOW!" he mouthed "How much did you get!"
"Oh, just enough for the whole of Gryffindor house, none of the first, second, or third years are actually coming, we're a bit too old and rowdy for them I think!" Remus replied
"Tonight is gonna be AMAZING!" squealed Carla, her long curls bouncing around her face in her excitement, her violet eyes dancing.
"Yup!" agreed Remus "It is!"
Oo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oO
At half past six, Daphne and Sirius returned to the common room, rather lip bruised. Sirius was led up to his dormitory, with his eyes shut, to get ready. Daphne, Carla and Lily also went to get ready.
When they were ready they all admired each other.
Carla's long hair was tied in a messy bun, she wore blue jeans and a white tank top with a baby blue slogan on it that read 'Thinking of you, are you thinking of me?' she had shimmery eye makeup that complimented her unusual eye colour.
Lily also wore jeans, only hers were white. She wore a mid-green t-shirt which was a tiny bit cropped. It had dark green sparkly patterns all over it. She left her wavy hair loose, and wore simple makeup.
Daphne wore denim crop trousers, and a baby blue and mid-blue striped, short sleeved, fitted rugby shirt. It was slightly cropped, like Lily's t-shirt. She had her dark hair in a loose plait, down her back. She also, only wore simple, sparkly makeup.
Despite their casual appearance, they looked very pretty.
At bang on 7:00pm, they, and the rest of the Gryffindors, congregated in the common room. When Sirius finally came down the stairs they all yelled "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIRIUS!"
Sirius grinned.
When the music was blasting out at full volume, and everyone was eating, drinking, chatting, or erm 'doing something else' James went and found Lily.
"Miss Evans?"
She turned to look at him.
"Yes, Mr Potter?"
"I believe we were in the middle of something earlier, and were rudely interrupted!"
Lily smirked and said
"Really..." before James sat down on an empty couch, and pulled her on top of him, kissing her hard. Lily decided that she didn't care what other people thought, and went with it. James slid his hand under her t-shirt and stroked the bare skin on her back. Lily simply tangled her fingers in the hair at the nape of his neck, and pulled herself ever closer to him.
Sirius and Daphne were in a corner, talking.
"Daph, thanks for this party, it's... amazing!" Sirius grinned.
"There is only one way to let me know whether you're enjoying it or not!" smirked Daphne
"You sexy thing!" murmured Sirius as their mouths met.
Carla glanced around the common room, grinned, then leant across to whisper in Remus' ear
"Take a guess at what our best friends are doing!"
Remus pulled a face. "I can imagine!" then he grinned "Well, they're not over here annoying us, and that's a start!"
Oo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oOo.oO
At last everyone had gone to bed, and only Remus, Carla, Lily, James, Daphne and Sirius were left in the common room.
"Well, what do you reckon our lives are going to be like now?" asked Daphne "What with the mad Death Eater out of the way?"
"Pretty quiet I imagine..." Sirius answered.
"Not with Voldemort around..." James said "Things won't be quiet for long..."
James, you are so right!
Right people, this is the final chapter.
If you ask, I might be able to think of a sequel...
But I don't know, we might leave it here...
Oh the suspense!
PLEAAAAAAAAZ read and review!
Thank you to ALL my wonderful reviewers so far, I love you guys!
See ya!
