"DING DONG"
"Lily! Your freaky little friend is here," yelled Lily's sister, Petunia.
Petunia was not a witch, and she had a very low opinion of anyone who was.
"LILY! Get your freaky little ass down here!"
Lily suddenly appeared in the doorway, wearing James' cloak.
"How'd you. . . No, don't tell me! Just leave!"
Lily rolled her eyes at her sister. She carried her overnight bag to the door, where Petunia glared at her before stepping aside, and greeted Yvonne. She said a polite goodbye to Petunia, and vanished with Yvonne. (Sploogal: Yes, we know they're not allowed to apparate, it just works better this way. If the marauders could be underage, unregistered animagis, why couldn't Lily and Yvonne aparate?)
Yvonne and Lily took the train to Yvonne's house, which was just down the road from Remus' house. When they got to Yvonne's house, they immediately began to get ready for the party.
*At Remus' house*
James knocked politely on the door, but got no response. Sirius banged loudly on the door, and yelled for Remus to "Get your but down here, birthday boy!"
They heard the sound of running footsteps, and then the door opened. Remus and his father stood before them, panting. James and Sirius both snapped sloppy salutes at Remus' father before running upstairs with Remus.
"So, when are the girls getting here?" James asked Remus.
"Yeah, 'cause you know he wouldn't have come if Lily wasn't coming," laughed Sirius, evading an attack from James.
"They'll be here soon, so quit fooling around, guys!" Said a bemused Remus.
"Oooh. Remus is in lo-ove!" Chanted James and Sirius.
Remus tackled them. Remus' mother entered the room a moment later. "What's all this noise?" She asked before looking at the three boys, who were now sprawled on the floor. "Oh. James and Sirius are here. I should have guessed." She laughed. "Well, I thought you should know, there are two beautiful girls downst-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Remus and James had rushed through the door, leaving her alone with Sirius.
"It's a disaster! My two best friends are love sick," Sirius sighed dramatically, flinging his arms in the air, before heading down the stairs to join his friends.
*A little later*
"Mandy," Remus' father said to Remus' mother.
"Yes, Michael?"
"The Bones' have been attacked. Voldemort. Harry wants all Aurors on site." Michael said grimly. (A/N To prevent confusion, we should tell you that Harry is short for Harold, who is James' dad.)
Amanda (Mandy) had her hand over her mouth. "Oh dear. We can't leave those boys on their own - they'll destroy the house! They'll hate me for this, but, the girls?"
*Michael and Mandy call everyone together immediately*
"Kids, the Bones' have been attacked. Harry wants all Aurors to get down there.
"Not tonight!" Groaned an annoyed and worried Remus.
"My dad's out there?" Asked James, also worried.
"Since we can't expect the boys to be able to keep the house intact," (Sirius and James exchanged mischievous glances, while Remus rolled his eyes.) "Would you girls like to stay over and keep an eye on them?" Mandy asked Lily and Yvonne.
Remus and Sirius mouthed silently, while James shook his head fervently, looking very panicked. Lily looked at James and smiled sweetly.
"Of course, Mrs Lupin," Lily and Yvonne chorused.
A/N There goes another chappie! I'm trying to get up to date with this now, so that you guys don't get too annoyed with us in a couple of weeks when we go on exams. I doubt that a certain friend of ours *Cough* Nina *Cough* will let us write too much during the next couple of weeks, but we will try! R/R ok?
