A/N- I have a migraine right now, so this chap will be short and (hopefully) sweet. But some people need to start reading closer… Harry is not getting slower; he has an outdated broom. And Ron was playing in the match, and Hermione is in the stands somewhere, she doesn't like to play the game, as we all know. Please don't make me explain myself, if you don't understand something, read it twice, then ask me. Also, I know I have had some major typos, please don't tell me, I plan on going back and fixing them when I'm done with the story. I re-read all of my work, and when I'm in a hurry I don't usually fix my mistakes, but when I can, I do. So please, when I say "constructive criticism" I mean "Tell me if the plot makes sense after I finally get to that point," or "Have I left something important out that you need to get when trying to figure out what I'm talking about?" I don't mean, "Tell me every little single mistake I made." If there is something you brought up that I had forgotten to explain or I know that I left something important out that I need to explain further and it wont fit into the story anywhere else, I will go into detail about it. So, PLEASE try not to get on my case about everything, I just started high school and I'm deeply stressed as it is with my family. My grandmother died last year and it isn't fun trying to go over her will and everything when my aunts and uncle are being difficult. I'm writing this to enjoy the fact that people love how and why I write fan fiction.

Also, you WILL NOT be hearing from me as much as normal. I know I said this in the last chapter, I just want you to understand that I am a busy person. So, please be patient. But if it goes for more than two weeks, feel free to scream and shriek at me!

Thanx!

Cake and Friends

Her family and friends surrounded Lily. They all cheered for her as she held up the golden snitch she had just caught. Harry high-fived his daughter then picked her up and carried her towards the house. After a few minutes, the guests started to mingle again, as it was before the match.

At the house, her family greeted Lily. First to hug her was her grandmother and grandfather, Molly and Arthur Weasley.

"Happy Birthday, darling," Molly said strangling Lily.

Lily moved on to her Uncles Fred and George. "Long time, no see, Lils!" They both said, the potter family giggled as they had just seen them the previous day.

From behind, Ron came up behind her and picked her up. Throwing her on the couch on the couch he attacked her by tickling her. "Uncle Ron!" she gasped. "St-stop!" she was forced into fits of giggles.

"Hello to you too, Lucinda," he said as he stopped the torture. She frowned at her uncle. She never liked to be called Lucinda by her family. They had always called her Lily, and that's the name she felt fit her. Behind Ron came his wife, Hermione. Her once-bushy brown hair was now a sleek, dishwater blonde.

"Hi, Aunt Mimi," Lily called her by the name she used as a child. Hermione was too hard to say as a one-year old, so Mimi it was. "Where are Tizzy, Laura, and Emma?" she asked about her younger cousins.

"Outside somewhere with Remus," Hermione smiled. "How was your birthday?"

"It was good," she replied. They talked a little bit. Hermione told her about what first year students would learn the first week of school, and Lily asked her about short cuts to classes, just to make conversation.

"Come on, Lils," Hermione looked at her seriously. "I know your dad has probably given you the marauders map by now."

Lily looked at her with surprise. "How did you know about it?"

"Oh, please, save the drama. We were best friends back then, he told you Uncle Ron and me everything," she said as if it was common sense. "Actually, after a certain point, he stopped telling me things because he was afraid I was going to rat on him, like I did when he got his firebolt."

Lily giggled. Suddenly, Remus ran in out of breath. "Your children are monsters!" she gasped at Hermione and Ron. "Take them back." Three girls walked in with innocent looks on their faces. They stood there for a few minutes then;

"We didn't do it!" yelled the shortest. She had red hair that was put into ponytails on each side of her head.

"Tizzy!" The other two yelled.

"Now they won't believe us when we try to prove our perfect innocence, which is true by the way," The one with bushy brown hair said.

"Then we will just have to give ourselves up, Laura! That's stupid," the last one said. This girl, who was obviously Emma, had sleek reddish brown hair. "I'm with Tizzy on this."

"What did you do?" Ron asked.

"Crashed the cakes!" Tizzy yelled, her pigtails bobbled everywhere.

"TIZZY!" Laura and Emma yelled. Ron and Hermione looked at their youngest, wanting to know more. "But we didn't do it." She insisted.

"Of course you didn't," Remus said with a sarcastic tone. Then he smiled. "They keep me young." Then he skipped away, happily.

"So much for the cakes," Ginny said with amusement.

The night went on, people started to leave. The last one to go was Brian and his father. Lily and him talked for a while, talked about anything and everything. They soon became best of friends.

A/N- that's all for now… more in the next two weeks… if I don't get it then e-mail me at
