Disclaimer: I do not own Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, or Lily Evans.

I do own Kadasa Mori and Samantha Selene and any of the characters I make up along the way.

I also don't own the places mention in here (Ex: Hogwarts, Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 ¾'s, etc.) Unless they're of my own creations (Ex: Sam's American home)

I never want to own Wormtail so you may have him.

Oh and I don't own any of the teachers… unless of course I make them up.

Yup… I think that's about it. Now on with the story!

Last time:

"Sirius!" He jerked suddenly, almost falling off the windowsill. He looked over to see Kadasa grinning. "Come on! Someone started a snowball fight!"

He grinned brilliantly, grabbing a coat and pulling it on. "Grab my hat and scarf." She did so and walked over. He held his head up. "Would you do the honors?" She tried to scowl but failed miserably and wrapped the scarf around his neck. She pretended to pull it tight enough to choke him and he grinned at her before she shoved the hat over his eyes.

"Hurry up!" she cried as he pulled it up to see her running out of the dorm. He smiled and followed after her. "So what were you thinking about?" she asked as they climbed down the stairs. "I called you quite a few times till you jerked out of it."

"Just thinking." She glanced up at him then grinned and for a moment he saw the same 10-year-old, grinning as Jack and Sarah allowed the two wolf pups to stay. It was then he knew that he was starting to fall for the blond haired girl.

His Parents' Time

Chapter 28 - Pummelings (Saturday, December 10th)

"Wagging-Grim to Sharp-Antlers, Grim to Antlers. Do you copy?" Sirius asked his wand like a radio.

"Roger," James replied dully, lying on his stomach, elbows propping him up like his fellow companions, sitting behind a three foot tall wall of snow, Sirius between him and Remus.

"I'm not Roger! I'm Sirius!"

"It means yes oh dumb one," Remus snorted.

"Oh…. yeah so, Grim to Antlers, what's your position?"

James gave him a dull look. "I'm sitting next to you Padfoot."

"Not Padfoot! Wagging-Grim! Stupid Sharp-Antlers… getting my name wrong."

"Well then change mine. I don't want to be called Sharp-Antlers."

"Moon-Howler agrees with me. Don't you Moon-Howler?"

He looked at Remus who didn't reply, peering over the top of their fort.

"Moon-Howler!" Sirius snapped.

Remus glanced at them to see who they were talking about then blinked. "Oh. Me?"

Sirius scowled at him as James laughed. "No Antlers because he howls to the moon."

"What was the question?"

Sirius blinked and looked back at James who shrugged. "Never mind. Are they still there?"

Remus nodded. "They put up a muffilato charm so we can't hear what they're saying."

"Grand…" James murmured.

"We need a plan…" Sirius stated.

"Got one," James laughed. "Listen, we make snowballs and while the girls are occupied float them over their heads then break the spell."

"Sounds good," Remus started, swallowing hard. "But uh…"

"Uh what?"

"Bye!" Remus dove over the wall of the fort, rolling as a huge ball of snow crashed onto James and Sirius' heads.

"Traitor!" James hollered at Remus who was rolling in the snow laughing hysterically. James shook his head, the foot of snow on it falling off. Sirius coughed and shook like a dog.

In their fort, Kadasa, Lily, and Sam were laughing hysterically.

"Stupid females and their advanced war techniques," James muttered under his breath before fixing the fort, Remus leaping back in.

"You're a traitor Moony! You coulda told us!" Sirius wailed.

"Yes I am and yes I could but that was hilarious. Now, I've got a plan."

In the girls' fort, they were planning another massive attack on the boys.

"I say we sneak one of us behind their fort to start pummeling them and while their occupied the other two attack from behind," Lily said. "They won't expect an attack from both sides."

"That's a good idea," Kadasa answered, peering over the top of the fort.

"Yes," Sam bit her lip. "We'll use orchideous as a cover to get the person behind them in the trees." "As soon as they're safe, finite incantatem the spell," Kadasa added, packing a snowball as they spoke and firing it across "no man's land". She grinned as she heard Sirius yelp then continued speaking. "The person will draw the boys out into the open and the two left back here can fire."

Sam nodded. "Use aguamenti to create water then use a freezing charm to make ice. They'll come after the first person, slip and be at our mercy."

"Sounds great," Lily said. "But who's the bait?"

They were silent before Kadasa sighed. "I'll go."

"You sure Inu?"

"Positive Tora." She pulled herself into a crouch, wand in her hand. "Just get that spell going ookami."

"Roger that." Sam reached over the top of the fort. "Orchideous," she murmured.

Immediately flowers began flowing from her wand and swirling around no man's land, finally surrounding the boys' fort. Kadasa vaulted over the top and sprinted towards the trees. Finally getting there she looked back and saw flowers from the front of their fort to behind the boys' fort. She smirked, hearing James and Sirius' cries of outrage and Remus' howling laughter.

"Ouch! Sirius! Get off my foot!"

"Sorry! I can't see a bloody thing with all of these flowers!"

"Moony! Stop laughing and help us out!"

She hid her laughter as Moony denied his request, continuing to laugh. She tip toed through the trees so she was diagonal to their fort then pointed to the grounds between their fort and the trees.

"Aguamenti," she said and immediately water fell onto the ground, soaking into the snow. She muttered the freezing charm and was about to give the thumbs up then turned to no man's land. "Aguamenti," she repeated and said the freezing charm again.

Someone tapped her shoulder and she gasped and turned around. Sarah, Lyon, Anne, Thomas, Kat, Ben, Laverne and Greg all stood there grinning.

"Need some help?" Sarah whispered.

Kadasa blinked then grinned widely. "I've got a great plan. All of you hide behind the bushes right there. Let me wave Sam and Lily over." They nodded and did so, using this time to make snowballs. Kadasa peeked out from around the tree to see Lily hold her hands up as in 'what are you doing?'

Kadasa waved them towards the trees. Lily and Sam looked at each other then, still using the flower attack rushed over. Kadasa pointed to everyone and Lily grinned and looked back at her.

"New plan?" she whispered.

"New plan." They all sat down behind the bushes. "Okay, here's what we do."

"I can't see a bloody thing!" A roar from the boys' fort sounded and all of the flowers surrounding them burst into flame. James growled, then realizing he was standing up and in the line of fire. He disappeared back behind the fort then frowned.

Sirius poked his arm. "Prongs… they left their fort."

"What?" He turned to see Lily and Sam disappear into the trees.

"Where's Kadasa then?" Remus asked.

"Maybe she's still in the fort," Sirius smirked. "Maybe Lily and Sam are planning an attack from behind, leaving Kadasa mostly defenseless."

James grinned. "Let's go pelt her. Moony, you stay here and watch our backs. Make a lot of snowballs and hit them before they can hit us."

He nodded and grabbed a handful of snow, starting to mold it. "Got it."

James peered over the top then nodded and vaulted over it. He hit the ground and started sliding, waving his arms to keep his balance. He paused as he did and grinned then let out a loud yelp as he slid and hit the ground.

Sirius and Remus started laughing hysterically. James shot them a dirty look. "Shuddup! Bloody friends…" He stood up, slightly wobbly then pointed his wand at the ground.

"Obliterate!" he shouted and the ice disappeared, only leaving snow behind. He turned to Sirius. "Come on Padfoot." Still laughing, Sirius climbed over the fort and followed him.

Remus watched Sirius and James slowly approach the girls' fort when someone tapped his shoulder. He turned to see Lily and Sam standing there.

"Wha-"

Sam put a finger on his lips, glancing over the fort, making sure Sirius or James didn't hear then winked at Remus and motioned to follow her. He glanced at Lily who nodded. Sam grabbed his hand and tugged him to his feet, leading him back to the trees.

"Flagrate," Lily whispered, writing in the air, shrinking it, before following after them. "Obliterate," she whispered again, tracks disappearing.

Sirius and James had made it to their fort. Sirius scratched his head. "What happened? Where's Kadasa?" he asked James. "Why'd they leave?"

James shrugged and looked back at the fort, only to find that no one was there. "Moony?" he called and walked back over, Sirius right next to him, seeing the glow of what Lily wrote but the words were too small. "Engorgio." The words grew so they could read them.

"Don't turn around," Sirius read aloud before freezing and spinning around only to meet a few dozen snowballs. He tripped backwards, falling into the fort, his legs over the side.

"Augh! Ow! Hey!" James cried, arms in front of his face, trying to defend himself against the buckets of snowballs headed his way. He tripped over Sirius' legs and rolled a few feet before disappearing under white.

Sirius shook his head, pulling it out from under the snow. "Hey! Not fair!" He whined, the only thing seen was his head, right arm, and left leg out of the snow.

Kadasa giggled and walked over, brushing snow off his head. "We never said spells aren't allowed."

"How'd you get so many at once?" She motioned behind them. Sarah, Lyon, Anne, Thomas, Kat, Ben, Laverne and Greg were laughing at them, wands still in their hands, piles of snowballs at their feet.

"Traitors!" he shouted, raising his right arm and shaking a fist at them. Kadasa giggled then held out a hand. He grabbed it and she tugged him up out of the snow. "Thanks Asa," he stated then put an arm around the front of her shoulders. "Accio snowballs!" he shouted.

Kadasa shrieked and tried to get away as the rest of the snowballs headed for them. She had time to cover her face with her arms as they hit her but she managed to spin so half of them smashed into Sirius who yelped and released her. She dove out of the way as the rest of the snowballs hit him.

Sarah and Laverne immediately began sending snowballs at Sirius to keep him occupied, Lily, Ben, Lyon, Greg, and Kat began replicating snowballs, and Remus, Sam, Thomas, and Anne banished them towards Sirius and James who had just emerged from his snowy cocoon.

"AUGH!" James shouted as he was immediately buried again, this time, Sirius tripping over him and also being covered. "Moony!" James hollered. "You traitor!"

"Sorry mate," Remus laughed. "But I'd rather be on the team that's not covered in snow right now."

Sirius held up his hand. "Can I surrender?"

"What! You can't abandon me!" James shouted.

"He just did!" Kadasa laughed.

"Guys, let's end this. I'm getting cold," Lily shivered.

"Hey, I've got an idea!" Lyon cried. "Let's go inside and have hot chocolate!"

"Ooo! I second that!" Sarah said and looped an arm around Lyon's tugging him towards the castle.

"Me three!" Kat and Laverne cried and the group slowly trudged inside.

Of course Kadasa had to pull Sirius out of the snow again. Lily just threw another snowball at James and followed the others. Sam and Remus took pity on him and helped him out (after threatening to leave him there.)

"Sirius?" He looked up to see Kadasa grinning. "Here." She handed him a hot mug of hot chocolate.

"Mm. Thanks Asa." She nodded, and flopped down next to him, pulling her legs up to her chest. She looked around the room. Everyone wore sweatshirts and warm pants, sitting by the fire.

"So… what now?" Sarah asked. Lily suddenly smirked.

PWOOM! James yelped as he fell over the back of the couch, the pillow that had connected with his face landing a few feet away.

He jumped back up. "What was that f-" PWOOM! He fell back over and Sirius, having thrown the pillow, jumped behind his couch to avoid the return pillow.

Soon enough they were engaged in the biggest pillow and watch-out-for-hot-chocolate fight in history. Even Sam walloped a few people, which is saying a lot.

Sirius poked James as he saw Sam and Remus whispering to each other and motioning their way. They snuck up behind them, raised their pillows and Kadasa and Lily jumped at them, each with a pillow in hand. Sam and Remus laughed and also joined into the attack.

Lily laughed as she used her wand to blow feathers in Kadasa's direction only to have the feathers return in her face.

Kadasa laughed. "Gotta do better than…than…" she yawned. "Than that!" she finished.

Sarah sighed. "Guys? Aren't you the least bit tired?"

"Yeah," Anne added. "It's almost 11."

"Pah!" Kadasa laughed, banishing the feathers towards the red haired girl who shrieked as she was enveloped in a whirlwind of white feathers from the broken pillows and cushions. "Eleven to me is like eight for you! I'm –yawn- fine."

Sirius snorted. "You look tired to me. I'm tired too. Let's call it a night."

Remus nodded and waved his wand at the broken pillows. "Reparo." The pillows instantly were sown back together, feathers back in them. Kat and Laverne grabbed the pillows at their feet and tossed them back on the ground.

"Night guys," Ben called, disappearing up the boys' stairs.

"What he said," Thomas and Lyon echoed, following him.

"Come on Lily!" Sam called. "Time for bed."

"I agree to that," Anne mumbled. The rest trudged up the stairs.

"Aw. Sammy, you're a spoilsport," Kadasa faked a pout. "I was having –yawn- so much fun." She turned to Lily. "You coming?"

"I'll be up in a minute," Lily smiled.

Kadasa nodded before Sam hooked an arm around her arm and led her up the steps. Lily turned and searched around the empty common room for… "ah ha!" she plucked up her hot chocolate cup then frowned, realizing her drink was cold. "Aw… great. Now I need to go get some more."

"Incendio," a wand tapped the cup and immediately it started steaming. She blinked in surprise then looked up at James.

"Thanks," she smiled.

He smiled back. "No problem." He reached towards her and she almost flinched but he touched her hair and pulled out a feather, twirling it in front of her. He handed her the feather then turned towards his dorm steps. "Oh." He turned and winked. "Nice shots today Lily." With that he disappeared up the steps. She watched after him then smiled to herself and headed for her dorm.

"What took so long?" Sam asked as Lily entered the room. She looked at Kadasa who was already out cold in her bed, Sam brushing out her long hair.

"I had to find my hot chocolate."

Sam watched her for a moment then shrugged and nodded. "G'night Lily."

"Night Sam."

She flopped into bed after getting into her pajamas and looked down at the mug in her hands, still steaming. She smiled and sipped at it then looked out the window, the snow casting a quiet glow over the lands of Hogwarts.

I love it here, she thought with a serene smile. The lands, the friends, the castle… She yawned and set the empty mug on the table next to her and curled up. And the James Potter…
